Ch.3

Well, this is so much better than having to share with four other guys. A nice size bed, a quiet place where I can get my work done. I can already tell that this is going to be the best year of my life.

Speaking of life, I wonder who my mate, the person I'm going to be spending the rest of my life with, is going to be. I can already feel a pull towards them. That's good, because I didn't want to wait for my mate to become 17. I just can't wait! Laughs I probably sound like a whiny child. Oh well, I guess it can't be helped. I'm anxious to know who my mate is going to be. It can be anyone of the seventh years. Which, all in all, is actually pretty scary.

Though, whoever it is, they are going to have to be pretty strong, because I'm pretty sure that both my halves have the same mate. Hmmm, I'm going to have to ask Mione about that. I'm pretty sure she said that I would have two mates, but I only feel 1 pull. Mione also said that I would only feel the pull for my mate(s) if they were both of age. That is, if I have two mates. So I don't have to worry about having two mates of two different ages, but still.

One mate will be hard enough to court, but two… That would just be too overwhelming. So hopefully I only have one mate. Pop Oh well, I'm not going to think about it right now, my food has finally arrived and I'm starving.

While Harry started his mini feast up in his room, everyone else was getting ready to dig in themselves.

"…Well, I hope I haven't kept you too long from enjoying, what I'm sure is to be, a delicious feast. Dig in." And everyone decided to follow Dumbledor's words.

"Hey Mione, you and Albus are down now, right? Poor Harry, has to stay upstairs by himself t'ill were all done." Ron whispered.

"Yes Ron. We finished it the other day. And I'm sure that Harry is doing just fine. He is probably just relaxing, which I have been telling him to do for sometime now."

"How can he relax?! He still has to find his mate AND if anyone were to find out about him…"

"Yes, well if you would just keep quiet about it, no one would be any the wiser. And I'm sure that now that we are at Hogwarts, Harry will find his mates. I mean, he is bound too."

"M…mates?" Ron stammered.

"Yes Ron, mates. Now close your mouth. You look like a fish with your mouth hanging open like that." Ron snapped his mouth shut, but still gave Hermione a confused look.

"Well, you see, Harry has half elf blood and half vampire blood."

"Yeah, I knew that."

"Yes, well since he has two creatures in him, he is bound to have two mates, one for each creature. Though, there is a rare case where he could have only one mate. But the chances of that happening are slim to none, because his mate would have to be almost as sting as he is. Though, there is… oh never mind. That couldn't happen." Hermione went on as she started talking to herself.

"What couldn't happen Mione?"

"Nothing." Came Hermione's instant reply.

"But Mione…"

"Never you mind Ronald. We will find out who Harry's mates are when he himself finds out. Now, I have to hurry up because I have Head Girl duties."

And with that, Dumbledor got up and told everyone to have a good evening.

Meanwhile, over at the Slytherin table, Draco Malfoy and his goons were preparing to head down to the Slytherin dorms.

"Did you notice that Perfect Potter was missing tonight?" Draco asked as he lead the way out of the Great Hall.

"Yea, boy am I glad. He probably thinks that he doesn't have to do that which everyone else has to. I mean, if I was allowed to skip out on the opening feast, then I certainly would. He doesn't deserve special treatment just because he killed You Know Who. And we can't even do anything to him unless we want Dumbledor breathing down our backs." Pansy stated, obviously irritated.

"Don't worry Pans, we'll find a way. We wouldn't be Slytherin's if we couldn't." Draco smugly replied.
