***Chapter Two***
As I walked out to the main ballroom, I looked around in wonder. Every year it was spectacular and unique, and this year was no different. The ceiling was sparkling and charmed to look exactly like the night sky, every few minutes a shooting star would pass through. It was a beautiful sight, when I could finally tear my eyes away from the stars I could see a long table along one wall, filled with all different kinds of foods and drinks. Along the opposite wall an empty table the same length ran along the wall, when I looked to my friends they all shrugged as Pansy answered simply "For all of your gifts Harry, obviously." I smiled a little hugging them all before heading towards the door to help the twins greet out guests.
While Draco and Jayden were showing people in, Blaise seemed to notice how nervous I was. "You all right?" I startled a little at the question.
"Yea Blaise, it's just that tonight I come into my full inheritance. That means that after today everything is going to change. I mean what happens if I get some mean mate that refuses to let me see you guys. I can't bear to lose any of you."
"You won't have to." He said with a hug "We won't let that happen, anyone who tries will have to go through me. I smiled a little before he added "And even if they get through me, do you really think they will be any match for Pans?" I couldn't help but laugh at that. We all know that Pansy would kill for any of us, and that her words could hold enough venom to put a basilisk to shame, making you wish you were actually up against the giant snake.
I wrapped my arms around him leaning my head on his shoulder and leaving it there. "Thank you Blaise."
"Anytime Hare, what are best friends for?"
"Hm, great gifts and extravagant parties?" he cracked a smile.
"Funny Hare, but what about the amazing vacations?" He asked pulling away.
"Well those too, but not the shopping, you guys are all just practically Satan reincarnated when it comes to that. I mean Jayden is the best about that and even then he takes me shopping for hours on end."
"Well that, my dear, is because you have a horrifying fashion sense, if any at all, and we must guide you in the right direction."
"Or kill me, whatever comes first." I say sticking out my tongue. Looking around, I noticed many people around the room of all ages. It looked as if all of the Malfoy family were here, and only Blaise's mother was here meaning his cousins couldn't make it. The minister had showed up, at least half of Slytherin was here with their families. A few Ravenclaws were around, but so far the other two houses were unaccounted for.
"Well that's it for guests." Jay said walking up behind me.
"And if there are any late arrivals, Dobby will show them in," Draco added.
I started heading over to where all of the Malfoys were, pretending I didn't hear when Blaise told the twins my worries about the inheritance and my possible mate or mates. As I got closer to the blondes, Luna saw me and ran over. Hugging me, she said "Hello Harry, how are you enjoying your birthday?"
"It's amazing, and so beautiful. So, you came into your inheritance earlier this week right? What are you?"
"Well, everyone thought I was gonna become a Veela like the twins, but I'm actually a seer like my mom."
"Oh my god, really? Have you seen who your mate is?"
"No, not really even any clues. And before you ask, I haven't seen anything about yours either." I couldn't help the pout and that made her giggle. "Just be patient Harry, in just a few hours you will at least be able to begin to be able to sense them."
"I know, I'm just nervous."
"Yeah, like what if he gets some horrible asshat Gryffindor?" Jay says hugging me from behind.
"Or a coward from Hufflepuff?" Draco said from beside him.
"Oh god, or worse." Luna faked a look of horror and finished "He could end up with you two." I bit my lip but couldn't stop the giggle and that made her smile.
"I'll have you know cousin, that we will be fantastic mates to whomever we mate with." Draco said with a slight edge to his voice that made both Luna and I laugh.
"Relax Draco, I was only kidding. We all know that the worst you could do is make your mate into a spoiled little brat."
"Yeah, or kill them with non-stop shopping trips." I added. I looked around at everyone socializing and smiled at Blaise, when he realized I was looking at him he smiled back and excused himself from the conversation he was having with a Ravenclaw to come join us. "Besides, Blaise here is the only one that comes from a black widow bloodline so I doubt we really have anything to worry about with you guys."
"I'll have you know that all of my mother's husbands have died of natural causes, thank you very much." Blaise said with a playful glare.
"Sure, and all of the Malfoy's money was came about legally right?" I said smiling up at Jay who still had his arms wrapped around me. Luna laughed and soon all of us were, we could never truly be mean to each other. Even though the party hadn't been going on very long my nerves were getting the better of me and I was getting fidgety. I stepped away from Jay and excused myself from the group to go get some fresh air in the garden. Once outside I walked over to the pond and sat down looking at the many fish that were swimming seemingly without a care in the world and pondered what that may be like.
After a little while as I was watching a small turtle trying to climb out of the water and onto the dry land I felt a hand on my shoulder, startling me and making me jump. It was Jayden looking at me with a worried expression on his face. "Are you ok Harry? We could wrap up the party early if you want us to." For a moment I didn't answer and he seemed to know that I needed a second to process the question and think about my response, so he sat next to me on the grass. I laid my head on his shoulder and answered "I'm just worried about some stuff, like who my mate could be, and how I'll be treated back at school. I don't know what to do Jay, I feel like I'm losing control and everything's changing."
"Even though there will be some changes, not everything is changing, we will all still be here and all be friends. Nothing in the world could change that, could ruin that." He lifted my head and made me look at him, he kept his hand on my cheek and looked into my eyes. "Harry there is no need to fear your inheritance, it'll make you stronger and help you. Draco and I have been training our new powers and you will too so that you know how to use them by the time school comes back around." He seemed like he wasn't quite finished but was unsure of what to say as he stared into my eyes, he leaned forward and I felt the urge to kiss him.
"Jayden!" We heard Draco snap at him and we immediately pulled apart. I looked down suddenly confused and Jayden got up and went with Draco as they spoke in hushed tones. Was Jay using his allure on me? Was that why I wanted to kiss him? Or was it because I was so close with him and anxious about everything going on? I stayed by the pond for another few minutes to sort myself before I got up and went back inside to the party. Blaise was still over talking with Luna but I didn't see Draco or Jayden. When I reached Blaise and Luna she gave me an odd look but other than that asked if I felt any better, I nodded and joined their conversation.
I couldn't help but look around the room every so often and Blaise and Luna must have noticed. "Harry, are you alright? You seem like you're looking for someone or something." I nodded to Blaise but even as I did Luna added "Don't worry, they're fine." I know I can trust her but that didn't stop me from continuing to glance around the room.
"Come on Harry, let's start your gifts, that'll give your mind something else to do instead of worrying." Blaise said as he led me over to the table that had the gifts on it then called out that we would be going through the gifts now. I sat in a chair by the table as Pansy sat next to me with a pad of paper and a pen to write down who gave what so that we could send thank you cards to each and every person. Blaise would hand me each gift and announce who it was from so that Pansy could jot it down as I was opening them. I got some new flying gear, some rare potions and spells books, new potions ingredients, new potions supplies, and some other varying gifts. Blaise handed me one last gift and searched for a tag coming up blank, once I opened it and looked inside to see that it was some of the rarest potion ingredients in the world I immediately knew who it was from and once I showed what it was Blaise and Pansy knew as well. Professor Snape may seem to be mean but I was one of his favorites, and he made sure that every gift he gave me I could use.
I smiled and thanked everyone as Blaise requested a house elf to take care of my gifts, they knew where to put the potions ingredients so that they would be ok until I could properly store them in the morning. Everything else would get put in a spare room by mine where I could go through it all. My head was starting to rush from all the attention so Pansy dispersed everyone and led me to get a drink. Once we got our drinks we went to a part of the room that looked fairly empty so we could talk. "You look a little off still Harry, want to talk about it?" she asked with concern clearly written on her face.
"Still just a little worried." I said not meeting her eyes.
"Are you sure that's all Harry, you can talk to me about anything." She always knew when something was truly bothering any of us.
"Just something happened with Jay in the garden earlier, and Draco noticed, and I'm just worried that they're mad at me because I haven't seen them since." I didn't really want to go into detail about it, seeing as I still didn't fully understand what had happened.
"Well they're right over there, don't know how you missed them." I looked over to see them on the other side of the room in what looked like a heated discussion with Blaise. Pansy seemed to realize my want to go over before I even did and grabbed my arm softly. "Don't go over there right now, something is obviously going on, you know they'll come over when they're finished." I nodded, Pansy was right, I should let their conversation end before trying to start my own. Their discussion seemed to take forever and I was getting antsier the later it got.
The party was finally dying down and I couldn't be happier, it wasn't that I wasn't having any fun I just was not feeling the greatest so I excused myself to go up to the guest room where I would be staying. The three boys were all still talking and I began feeling even more off. I went into the attached bathroom and splashed some water on my face to cool myself off. As I looked up into the mirror I thought I saw the outline of my eye flash a brighter green, but as a rubbed my eyes and looked again I couldn't see it. I walked out and sat on the bed to try and relax myself for a minute when all of a sudden pain overtook me and I blacked out, unaware of the three sets of eyes that flicked to the ceiling downstairs.
Review Replies:
KyuubiChild717: I have still yet to decide on all of his mates, and will be making a list of potential candidates before starting the next chapter. Are you the same KyuubiChild from Archive of our Own?
Anonimous: Honestly, I'm not sure I will be. I lost touch with my partner on it and haven't felt any real motivation towards it lately.
There were some more from Archive of our Own, which were mate suggestions, and as I said there is still a little time and i will add all of the names to a list and choose from there with consideration to each choice.
As always, please review to let me know how you liked it.
