Chapter 3: Courtship

Draco wasn't even out of breath as he reached the gargoyle leading to the headmaster's office. Draco frowned at the weight of his mate. Sure the weight seemed to fit his feminine structure but he still felt too light.

"Hershey's kiss," Draco said as he stepped on the edge of the gargoyle as it raised into the ceiling. Draco stepped off the platform and into the office. Dumbledore raised his eyebrows as Draco strode in, placing Harry into a plush chair. He turned his glare towards Dumbledore.

"I found him covered in bruises on the train. I just about lost my control on the train. If Harry hadn't been in my arms, I don't know what I would've done," Draco seethed.

Dumbledore smiled, "I see you've found your mate, Mr. Malfoy. I will inform the house elves to move Harry's things into your rooms. I will leave informing your father up to you. As for the bruises, I'm sure you are exatruating slightly."

"I am not exagerating. He will not go anywhere out of my sight. My classes will be changed to his. I do not know who did this to him but it won't happen again," Draco said.

"I doubt Harry will take kindly to you dictating his life so much," Dumbledore replied.

"I don't care; it's for his safety. He'll understand. Besides as long as the necklace is on him, I won't have to watch him all the time," Draco said.

Dumbledore eyes grew wide as he saw the necklace on Harry's neck.

"Are you sure it's good that you marked him so early on, Mr. Malfoy," Dumbledore asked?

Draco asked, puzzled, "Why wouldn't be good? This way both Harry and me know he's safe. Without it he could have anything done to him and I wouldn't really know."

Draco shuddered at the thought that someone would hurt his mate, his angel. His mind started to wander at what horrible things could happen to Harry if he had not put the necklace on. Rape, abuse, slashing his beautiful skin where only a few thing that went through his mind.

Dumbledore coughed slightly to get the young veela's attention.

"What," Draco asked.

"I was thinking that when Harry wakes up how you will explain this to him. I mean you only mentioned it on the train in a quick passing, am I correct," Dumbledore asked.

"Well I think he will understand. I was thinking if he didn't believe me he could always ask Granger and she'd tell him the truth," Draco replied.

"Well there is also, Harry's godfather's. Remus teaches Charms since Professor Flitwick retired this past year and Sirius teaches DADA," Dumbledore said.

"Why would I go to them for help," Draco asked confused.

"Well Remus is after all a werewolf and Sirius is his mate. I know I can trust you with this information, right my boy," Dumbledore explained.

"Yes sire, could I take Harry to our rooms now, he should be waking up soon," Draco asked.

"Of course, your dorm rooms in on the seventh floor behind the picture of the female veela. The password is 'forever in love with thee'," Dumbledore said.

Draco sweeps Harry into his arms and walked out of the rooms with goodbye to the headmaster. He might be senile, old, and cocky but Draco actually liked the headmaster somewhat. He walked up the two flights of stairs to the fifth floor. He found the entrance to the dorms and walked in, gasping at how different the dorms looked from the Slytherin dorms. It was decorated in soft tans, black, a little bit of silver, and a little bit of gold. Draco walked in deciding to explore the rest of the dorm when Harry woke up. He did notice there was only one bedroom with one king size bed. Draco smiled, ' I guess the old senile man is trying to rush things between me and Harry.' Draco gently placed Harry on the bed. Since it was only five he ordered the house elves to bring dinner when they were both awake. Draco gently slipped into bed behind Harry, slipping off both pairs of shoes and placed both their wands on the side table. Draco then lied on the pillow and gently pulled Harry under his chin.

"G'night Harry," Draco whispered before drifting off to sleep.

Okay so another chapter of one of my stories done. I've been trying to spit them out one after another since I'm going to New York tomorrow. I'm hoping to get one more story done but no promises. If it is done it will be in the late after noon, before my parents get here. I tried updating a story yesterday but something was wrong with the server so I updated it today. Anyway, Thank you to all my reviewers, you guys really do give me motivation to continue these stories.

Lately I've just been unhappy with this story. I started it because Draco being a veela and Harry as his mate is a common thing and I thought I could have fun with a cliched idea but I really like my stuff to be original. This story is not even close to original. So you guys are going to vote on whether I should continue or not. If you vote continue I will, if not I will try to find a way to end it in the next three or four chapters but nothing good will happen in three of four chapters, just to let you know.
