A/N: I am so sorry this took forever! Please forgive me! So, this only part one of this chapter. There will be a part 2 since the change hasn't happened yet. But, I am going to quit here so I don't give anything away! Please review what you think! :)


Previously:

They sent Draco's owl, Dragon, with the letter. They both knew it was late and wouldn't get a reply till morning. So, Blaise went back to the Slytherin common room and Draco went up to his room, but not before he checked on Hermione. He had no clue what was to come in the letter and the next night.


Hermione got up, got her clothes together and got dressed. Since Draco woke her up the morning before she thought she would wake him up. She went to his door and was about to knock when she heard a grunt if pain. Her eyebrows furrowed down. She knocked on the door.

"Draco? You ok?" She asked. She heard his footsteps getting closer to the door. He opened the door. He looked sick. He was paler than usual.

"I'm fine." He smiled but it looked more like a grimace.

"OK. I was just waking you up since you woke me up yesterday." She said

"Well, thank you. You don't have to wait up on me. You can go ahead and go down." He said.

"OK." She said and walked back down the stairs. She didn't notice the look Draco gave her. One that clearly said, that he wasn't fine.

Draco watched as Hermione walked down the stairs. He woke this morning with sharp pains all through his body. When he heard a tap on the door it disappeared but not fully. He sighed. He didn't know what was happening to him. He went back in his room, showered and got dressed. He went downstairs to grab his books thinking about what would be in the reply when the mail post came.

He saw Blaise already sitting there. He went to him and sat down.

"Has the mail come yet?" Draco asked.

"No. Wonder what it will say. You know?" Blaise asked.

"Yeah." Then winced in pain.

"Mate you Ok?" Blaise asked he saw the grimace on Draco's face.

"I don't know. I woke this morning with pains all over and they won't go away." He said. He looked at Blaise and saw worry on his face. Then they heard rustling. Draco saw Dragon and he a letter and a package. Draco frowned. He looked over at Blaise and saw he was frowning too. Dragon landed in front of Draco and held out his leg. He untied the package and letter and gave Dragon a piece of toast and he flew off. He took a deep breath and opened the letter first. Blaise was looking over his shoulder.

Dear Draco,

I was hoping it would skip you. You see your father is part Veela. It has been in the Malfoy line for ages. Anyway, I'll explain everything. When your eyes change color it has something to do with your mate. Also, your eyesight will get stronger. And the coloring happens before the transformation so you should start soon. When she is in need you will be able to hear her thoughts. And your normal hearing will get stronger too. If you're upset or mad the only person who can calm you is her. If another male touches your mate you will want to kill them. But you have to fight that urge. Now since we are talking about your mate it could be anyone. Muggle, muggleborn, half-blood, or a pureblood. It will most likely be a wizard though. The way you find your mate is her scent and a glow only you will be able to see. Now about the transformation, it will be painful. Your bones will grow your teeth will also change. You will get fangs but they only come out when you or your mate is in danger or threatened. Also, when you mate. Your hair will also grow. The most painful part is the bones growing and the wings. The talons won't be so bad after the wings appear. I sent a book from our library for you to read. If I have forgotten anything the book will tell you. Again I am so sorry this had to happen to you.

Love,

Mum

Blaise and Draco just stared at the letter. They didn't know what they thought about it. Draco was thinking about all the pain he was going to endure. He was already in pain and he was going to be in more pain? He thought.

"Mate, we better go to class and tell someone. We don't know when it will start." Blaise said.

"I think it has already started. Why does all the pain have to happen after the eye changing colors? That's weird. And should we tell? Snape?" Draco asked.

"I don't know about the first question but I think we should tell anyone." Blaise said. "Come on. We'll tell Snape after potions."

They got up and Draco felt a pull again. Then he heard yelling. He looked around and saw Cormac again cornering someone. He had them grabbed around the waist and was trying to drag them out of the Great Hall. No one was paying attention. "Someone please help!" He heard in his head. He growled he knew who that voice was.

Hermione.

Hermione was getting up to go to potions when she got pushed against the wall. How many times is this going to happen? It's already happened twice in two days! She thought. She started yelling for them to let go. Then they grabbed her waist and put their hand over her mouth.

"Nothing's going to get the way this time." Cormac whispered. Why wouldn't he bloody give up already! She thought. Then he started dragging her towards the door. "Someone please help!" She thought. But, no one was paying attention. Then she heard growling. Then the arms that were holding her tightly let go and a safe warm pair was around her. She didn't realize she was shaking.

"Shhhh, it's ok. Minerva is getting rid of Cormac. He is being expelled. I told you it wouldn't happen again didn't I?" Draco asked. Hermione nodded.

"Thank you Draco." She said and hugged him.

"No problem Hermione. But, we are going to the hospital wing. I need to Madam Pomfrey something and you need to be looked at. I'll tell Blaise to tell Snape." Draco said. Hermione wanted to protest but she didn't. She just went along with it.

Draco walked over to Blaise after he told Hermione he would be right back.

"Mate, you basically flew over there. You ran that fast. Guess that is one thing your Mum forgot." Blaise said.

"I need you to tell Snape me and Hermione won't be there. I am going to ask Madam Pomfrey what I can do so it won't hurt so much. And Hermione is in shock about what happened. You would think that since the war is over she would be stronger." Draco said.

"Or maybe that is what made her weaker." Blaise said and walked away. Draco looked after Blaise and turned around. He ran to Hermione who was yelling at Ron. He caught the ending of the argument.

"I didn't do anything Ronald! Why don't you believe me?" Hermione asked. He didn't answer. He just walked away with Harry who looked back with an apologizing look.

"Hermione, you ready?" Draco asked. She nodded and they made their way to the hospital wing.

It was a quite walk to the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey was sitting in her office when she heard the door open. She walked out and saw Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger. They both looked pale but she figured it was for different reasons.

"Take a bed, both of you." She said. She looked at Draco with more worry. She noticed he was slouched over some and he was in pain. His eyes were a little red and black. No. She thought. She knew his father was one but she thought it skipped a generation. She didn't say anything.

"What is the problem?" She asked.

"Hermione is in a bit of shock. And I need to ask you some questions." Draco said. He had a feeling she knew what he was.

"Of course. Just let me get a calming drought and we can talk in my office." She said and walked off. He turned to face Hermione.

"You ok Hermione?" He asked.

She nodded. "Yeah I'm Ok." He nodded. He sighed and closed his eyes. He felt a ripple of pain but it went away after he smelled a vanilla scent near him. He didn't know where the smell came from put it was helping some.

"Here you go Ms. Granger. Mr. Malfoy, me and you can go in." She said.

"What is it you want to know?" She asked.

"I just figured out I am part Veela and I am having these pains and they won't go away. My eyes keep changing. Is there any way to make the pain stop?" He asked. She looked sadly at him. She knew he was scared.

"There isn't anything I can give you. You will get a very high fever and it will just burn out the potion. During the process you should relax. I'll tell all your teachers you won't be in class today. You need all the rest you need. Take Miss Granger with you. I have a feeling she is your mate. Does she have a certain smell to you?" She asked.

"I don't know what you mean." He said.

"Well, we will figure that part out later. But, seeing as you only have two classes today and one is halfway through. You go on up. And wake Miss Granger. You both need rest. You more so." With that she walked out to send letters to their teachers telling them they won't appear in class. He walked out and saw Hermione laying on the bed. He smiled a little and walked over and picked her up. No one would be in the halls right now since they are in class. He thought. He noticed how she fit in his arms perfectly. Like his arms were made for her. If anyone saw his black and light purple eyes they would see lust and love in them.
