A/N: Sorry it took so long to update this! Tell me what you think! :)


Hermione got up at 7:30 to start getting ready. She got her things and got into the shower. She let the hot water calm her nerves that were threatening to explode. She was nervous. She had been on dates before but she was still nervous. She sighed and got out. Wrapped in a towel she walked back to her room and laid many outfits out. While staring at the clothes she knew it would take awhile to choose what to wear so she did her hair. She dried it with a simple spell and let it fall down her back. She pulled some from both sides back and pined it. She put on a bar and a pair of panties and walked back to the clothes in a robe. After about ten minutes staring at the clothes she decided what she was going to wear. It was supposed to be warm so she put on a pair of dark blue jean shorts and a Slytherin green long sleeved shirt. She put on a pair of black sparkly flats and a sliver bracelet. She had to admit she looked good in green. She put a little eye liner and a little bit of lip gloss on and looked at her reflection. She smiled and looked at the time. It was 9:15. She walked out of her room and to the portrait whole and to the Great Hall for breakfast.

Draco was nervous. He woke up early and walked to the Slytherin common room to see Blaise. He said the password and walked in. Not that many people were up this early but he knew Blaise would be. And Hermione He thought. He heard her close the bathroom door softly, but with Veela hearing he heard it. He saw Blaise in a blue button up shirt with long sleeves, a pair of khaki shorts and tennis shoes.

"Why so dressed up?" Draco asked as he had a Slytherin green button up shirt, khaki shorts, and black tennis shoes. He didn't do anything with his hair.

"I could ask you the same." Blaise replied looking over Draco's outfit. "We are almost wearing the same thing."

"I should go and change then." Draco said.

"Nah, you'll have all the girls over you anyway. So, who are you going with?" Blaise asked.

"I am going to ignore you about the girls and I am going with Hermione. Who are you going with?" Draco asked.

"I am going with Luna." He said. Draco nodded.

"Well, I'm going on down to breakfast. See you at breakfast." Draco said and walked out.

"See you mate!" He heard Blaise say before the door closed.

Hermione walked in and everyone looked at her. She saw the guys eyeing her. Well, wearing green can get people's attention. She thought. She walked straight to Harry and Ginny who were also staring.

"What?" She asked as she sat down.

"Why are you wearing green?" Ron asked harshly before Harry and Ginny could say anything. Ginny glared at Ron.

"I felt like wearing green Ron. Is that a problem?" Hermione asked. She wasn't going to put up with his crap today.

"It's the snakes color." He said.

"Some snakes aren't bad." Hermione said and turned to Harry and Ginny.

"Well, I must say, you look gorgeous!" Ginny said. Hermione and Ginny started laughing. Harry just rolled his eyes.

"You do look good Mione." Harry said and Hermione was glad Draco wasn't in here yet. She knew Veela didn't like the same gender as them complimenting their mate.

"Thank you Harry." She said and saw that Harry was in a pair of blue jeans and a red t-shirt. She looked at Ginny and saw her wearing a pair of short khaki shorts and a red polo shirt and a pair of red converses that looked too big.

"Ginny, who's shoes are you wearing?" Hermione asked.

Ginny giggled. "Harry's, I asked him if I could wear them and he let me." She said smiling.

Hermione smiled.

"I'm just glad I had another pair of shoes. She looked so cute with puppy dog eyes I couldn't say no before I checked." Harry said and the three of them laughed.

"It's a girl's best weapon." Hermione and Ginny said. Hermione looked down at her watch and it showed, 9:50.

"I have to go." She said while getting up.

"Where are you going?" Ginny asked.

"Library." Hermione said. "See you two in Hogsmeade!" she said and walked out.

Draco was watching and listening to the whole conversation or what he was in there for. He saw Hermione looking over Harry and Ginny and asking who's shoes is Ginny wearing. It was a pretty normal conversation. When she got up is when he really noticed what she was wearing. Slytherin green long sleeved shirt, dark blue jean shorts, and black sparkly flats with a sliver bracelet. He watched her walk out and out of the corner of his eye saw Blaise bouncing up and down.

"What's with you mate?" Draco asked.

"Nervous." Blaise said. They both looked up when they heard McGonagall stand up.

"Those who have permission to go to Hogsmeade you can go. Just be back before 9 please." The Hall busted out into talk and people getting out of their seats.

"Well, I have to go to the Library. See you in Hogsmeade mate." Draco said. He got up and went to the library and saw Hermione in there ready Hogwarts: A History. Her back was to the door so he walked up behind her and put his hands over her eyes.

"Guess who?" said a musical voice. She felt the calloused hand and knew it was Draco.

"Hmmm, Harry?" She wanted to see how possessive Veela could be. Hermione heard Draco growl deep in his throat

"No one will touch you." He said. She giggled that is going to be something I can play with. She thought. He stopped growling and it turned into something like a purr.

"Hmm, is it Draco?" She asked. He removed his hands and turned her chair around. She saw him smiling.

"Are you ready to go?" He asked. Hermione nodded. He reached for her hand and she took it.

"You look lovely today." Draco said. "And we sort of match."

She looked over his cloths both were wearing green shirts, shorts, and black shoes.

"We do match, though you pull off the colors better than me." Hermione said.

"Trust me; you look great in Slytherin colors. I want you to officially meet Blaise today." Draco said and looked over at Hermione.

"Is he against muggleborns?" She asked.

"No. He was always mutual. Besides if you don't like Blaise you can hang out with Luna. She'll be with him." Draco said and saw her relax.

"It can't be too bad." She said as they walked out of the doors and onto the grounds. Hermione sighed with happiness and looked up at the sky with a smile.

Draco could feel his mate's happiness. He was looking at her with a smile.

"Where do you want to go first?" Hermione asked.

"Where ever you want to go to first." He said. She smiled. "Bookstore?" She nodded and they headed to the new little book store with muggle and wizard books.

Blaise was waiting for Luna in the Great Hall. Everyone had mostly cleared out to leave or some stayed since they were younger. He saw Luna walk in wearing a blue polo and sky blue shorts and yellow flip flops. Her dirty blonde hair was normally half way down her back but it was pulled up into a high ponytail.

"Hello Blaise." She said when she approached.

"Hello Luna. You ready to go?" He asked.

"Ready when you are." She said with a dreamy smile. He reached out his hand and she took it easily.

"What do you want to do first?" Blaise asked. He looked around at the many shops and spotted Draco and Hermione coming out of the new bookstore.

"Let's go see Draco and Hermione." Luna said. They started walking towards them when it got all quite, cold, and dark. Blaise put his arm around Luna and pulled her closer.

As soon as it got quite Draco wasn't the laughing, playful Draco. He was now protective and alert Draco. He pulled Hermione to his side and saw Blaise do the same with Luna. Draco saw the younger students looking at the prefects and Draco and Hermione. He saw Harry come out with Ginny under his arm and looking alert also. It was pretty much tied who looked more serious. The-boy-who-lived-and-seen-many-things or the Veela whose mate could get hurt. The prefects were looking at them when he heard Hermione talking.

"Prefects, take the younger ones back to the castle. Make sure everyone is there. Sorry to cut the trip short." Hermione said. "We'll try to plan for another one soon to make up for this one."

She heard some mummers but no one objected. She saw Blaise, Luna, Harry, Ginny, Draco, and herself were the last ones. Everyone else was walking up the path.

"Come on." Draco said and pulled her along then they all froze when they heard a voice.

"My Draco, what are you doing with this group?" They all turned and saw Lucius Malfoy with a group of people looking at them all.

Draco pushed Hermione behind him and stood protectively in front of her.

"Father, thought you were on the run." Draco said. "Last thing I knew of you was at the end of the battle you left Mother. I honestly didn't care you were gone."

"Is that anyway to talk to your Father?" Lucius asked.

"What Father? And you could have told me earlier about our little problem." Draco said.

Everyone was just looking at them. Hermione was scared for Draco. Ginny, Harry, Luna, and Blaise were all just looking thinking whether or not it would be good to run and get help or stay.

"Ah, so you know of the Veela heritage. Yes it runs in the Malfoy line. But you see I am a very rare Veela, I have two mates. You won't have to mates, just me. And now, for being a bad son I will take what is most precious to you." Lucius said and his eyes flickered over to Hermione and back.

Hermione saw Draco's eyes darken to a deathly black and a dark burgundy red.

"You will not touch her!" Draco said wings coming out and blocking Hermione out of the way. Everyone knew to not and try to get Hermione from behind Draco's wings. His claws were very sharp and they didn't want to turn to shreds.

"You will stay away from her, mum, and me." Draco said darkly. Hermione couldn't see anything except black wings that looked really soft, but she was scared if she touched them Draco would get distracted.

"You see son this is where you are wrong." Lucius said and pointed his wand at Draco. "Crucio!" And Draco hit the ground withering in pain.

"Draco!" Hermione screamed and fell beside him trying to help him in any way possible.

"Stun the rest. I just want to punish my son." Lucius ordered and Hermione saw them all trying to protect themselves but they were out matched. They all went down after 5 minutes of fighting all that was left now was Draco who was withering in pain and Hermione who was crying and trying to help Draco.

"Get the girl and apperate to the forest." Lucius ordered and they all came at Hermione. Lucius let up on the spell but Draco was still weak. She saw he was trying to get up and help but he couldn't.

"Draco!" Hermione screamed. "Anyone help!" Someone covered her mouth preventing her from screaming. They had Hermione in ropes and was holding her close. Right before they apperated away she saw Draco's face. Anger and sadness all over his face; and his eyes were still the dark black and burgundy and she knew they would stay that way till he had her back.


So... what do you think of Lucius? Please review!
