A few days past since the little encounter Draco had with Xandra, he of course knew that it wasn't a dream, but he professed that it never happened and acted the same way with Xandra.

His transformation was almost finished; he's become stronger, taller, his shoulders got broader and his shaft grew almost double the size from its original size. This part he enjoyed quite a bit and not to mention it was already big from the beginning. He too started receiving subtle hints about whom his partner might be. The first hint came from one of his dreams. In his dream he saw a girl wearing Slytherin robes in the common room; he tried to focus on the girls' appearance to see who it was but sadly his dream was being an arse to him and he unfortunately couldn't see his mate. Recognizing that his partner was a pureblood and in Slytherin, he felt relieved. He didn't desire to end up spending his whole life with a mudblood, who will bring shame to his well respected family.

"Draco aren't you supposed to be with Pansy right now." Goyle snickered, stuffing sweets down his throat.

"I have better things to do than going anywhere or doing anything with that petty girl." He shudders in disgust as a thought of him and her snogging appeared. Not a month ago, he would find it quite a pleasure to do, but now it disgusted him to no end. He took this as a hint of whom his mate could be, he was positive that Pansy wasn't the one.

Draco was preparing for the last phase of his transformation both physically and mentally. He knew that it was going to hurt, but the end result will make up for it. He will find his mate, at first he disliked the thought of being bound to one girl for the remainder of his lifetime, but the thought of taking in a mate grew on him. He will have a woman to love him for whom he was, he can shag her as much as he desires; using the excuse that veela's are sexual creatures to do so. He will have full control of the relationship, as a man should.

As Draco silently watches Goyle stuff his mouth with sweets; he heard the door of the common room slide open. He turns to see who had entered, it was Nott. He didn't understand why Nott's presences bother him, only that he dislike him for a reason he doesn't understand. 'Bloody hell!' He mentally cursed as he saw Nott heading toward him and Goyle.

"Hey, Draco. Have you seen Xandra?" Nott questioned as he sat across from Draco. Draco didn't know where she was but if he did, he wouldn't tell Nott.

"No, I haven't seen her since the morning." Draco responded as he looked almost glaring at Nott. This did not pass unnoticed by Nott, but he paid no attention to it.

"Miss Graveyard, such a magnificent job you did on the regeneration potion!" Professor Snape uttered. "30 points for Slytherin!" He shouted.

"Thank You Professor Snape." Embarrassed she covers her face with her hand, as she felt some eyes on her.

"It seems Mr. Malfoy finally has a competitor now Miss Graveyard." He walked off, to check on the other students potions. Xandra always enjoyed the concept of brewing potions and testing them out on people, she found it a stress reliever, and she really enjoyed it. She enjoyed it so much that she took an extra Potions Class instead of having a free period.

As she was cleaning and putting materials away, she remembered that Nott was going to help her study for the upcoming astronomy exam. 'Damn, there are still 30 minutes of this class. I hope Nott does not become furious with me.' She thought to herself as she watched other students fighting to finish the task Professor Snape assigned.

After class was dismissed, she teleported herself in front of the entrance to the dungeon. She muttered the password and ran inside, heading to the common room.

"Nott, I'm here! Sorry I took so long." Xandra apologized to Nott as she found him sitting across from Draco. Xandra went behind the couch to where Nott was sitting and hugged him.

"You're not mad, right?" Xandra softly whispered in Nott's ear as she hugged him. Draco watches this interaction with irritation. Draco coughed to get them to stop and to remember that he was also sitting right in front of them. Luckily, that made Xandra stop hugging him and she sat next to Nott and stared at Draco with a grin.

"Hello Draco, do you also need help in astronomy? Nott here is going to help me. You can join us if you want to." Xandra knew that Draco was excelling in astronomy, but she felt it would uncomfortable and embarrassing if he simply just watched them study.

"Hey Xandra thank you for the offer, but I don't need it." Draco took out a book out of his bag and began "reading".

Xandra felt Draco eyes on her throughout the whole study session with Nott. She never had this sort of attention from him before. Xandra was confused, but she ignored it maybe she was just paranoid. Every time she looked up from her quill to see if Draco was staring at her, he wasn't he was just reading.

Later the night, Draco awoke with pain piercing through his whole body. The agonizing pain was the same way his father described it to him. It was worse than the Crucio curse itself. Draco was screaming in anguish as the pain rippled through his body, the pain was too much to manage even for him. He was glad that he was handed the key to the head boy's dormitory days ago, and started sleeping in the room. He wished for someone to be there, but his father and mother told him he must be alone when it happened. They pronounced it will be very unsafe if someone was with him, he might hurt someone. His back was burning, as if somebody was pouring hot lava on too him, he could feel his skin along his back tearing, bones cracking and reforming. After of hours of pain the pain went away, but left him raw. He was so exhausted that he passed out.

He dreamed about his mate, but this time he could ascertain who his mate was it was Xandra. Draco finally understood why he disliked Nott so much and He realized why he paid so much attention to Xandra these couple of weeks. He unconsciously knew who his mate was, but he was too ignorant to notice. As Draco tried to come closer to Xandra in his dream, she seemed to get further away. When he was close enough to her, he tried grabbing her by the arm but he woke up.

Draco stood up and took in his surroundings and realized his bed was drenched in blood. He began to worry and was checking himself for any injuries, but then he got flashbacks of what happened the night before, and calmed down. 'I must contact my mother and father immediately, to inform them of the events that occurred and about the identity of my mate.' He though to himself, as he wrote a letter to his family and minutes later sending it.

A sweet smell hit Draco's nose, it was something he has never smelled before. It was intoxicating, he was positive he could become addicted to it. He already recognized who that delicious aroma was coming from, it was from his mate. The more he thought about his mate the more he wanted to see her.

Draco quickly dressed for the day in front of him. He headed to the great hall as he opened the door to the great hall. The mouth watering scent hit his nostrils with full power, causing his mouth water in anticipation.

As he headed to the Slytherin table, he gazed at his mate as she talked to the friend of hers, laughing and tittering. He gazed at her in hunger, he needed her. He sat down at his usual sit but didn't speak with any of his friends he just watched Xandra throughout the whole breakfast. If she ate, he ate and if she drank, he drank.

"Drakey, why aren't you paying attention to me?" Pancy whined as she clung to his arm. Unpleasant shocks come from the arm Pansy was holding onto. Draco hissed in pain as he felt her skin against his own. He pushes her away rather quickly making others stare at him. They all knew Draco disliked Pansy, but they all knew he would never humiliate her in front of others.

"Don't touch me!" Draco hissed.
