Author's Note: I know that it has been a long time since I have updated and for that I am sorry. Unfortunately it was unavoidable as my youngest has been in and out of the hospital and so have I. I also went on vacation and then my cousin has been in and out of the hospital. I do hope that this update was worth the wait.

Severus quickly handed little Severus to Remus and rushed over to catch Hermione right before her head hit the floor. He sank down to the floor and put her head in his lap. "Come on Hermione wake up. You need to wake up. You are scaring your son and daughter."

Minerva had her hand up to her mouth as she demanded "What just happened? Why did Hermione faint when she saw Draco?"

Brooklyn sighed and said "If I'm not mistaken Draco is her mate. Hermione found out years ago that she is a Veela and that is why she left. She left after Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley tried to corner her close to graduation. As everyone knows an unmated female Veela can attract all unattached males that do not have mates. She left so that Potter and Weasley wouldn't do something to her that they would regret. A year ago her luck ran out and she was attacked which is how she came to have Severus Anthony and Serena Rose. Brianna, Bella, and me have been with Hermione since we found her shortly after she was attacked. We have made sure that no male has been able to harm her again."

Minerva gasped and tears filled her eyes. "That poor girl. I'm glad that she has had someone with her that cares about her wellbeing. May I ask how you all came to be with Severus and why Hermione has named her son after Severus? Also who are you three?"

Brianna chuckled and stepped forward. "I am Brianna. The blonde with no highlights is Bella and the one with blonde hair and purple streaks is Brooklyn. We are all three witches but we also have Gypsy blood in is. We also have some Seer capabilities which is why we knew that it would be safe to come back here. We knew that Severus would help us keep Hermione safe. As for why Hermione's son is named after Severus it is because Severus is Hermione's uncle. Hermione's birth mother was Severus' sister and her birth father was of the Gryffindor line."

Remus' eyes widened and he said "Sweet Merlin Hermione's been through hell. Why didn't she tell me that she had been sexually assaulted? I would have been to her like a shot. I knew that she was leaving and she would send periodic letters to me letting me know she was okay because I could tell that she was a Veela but by that time I was mated myself so I didn't hold any attraction towards her."

Brianna nodded. "She debated with herself and with us on telling you or not about her attack but she knew that if she did that you would come to her and she knew that your wife and son needed you. The thing that matters now is that you are here for her now."

Remus nodded. "I'll help in any way that I can."

Draco who had been listening silently to everyone talk as he watched Severus try to wake Hermione finally spoke up and said "What does it mean if I am her mate?"

Severus looked up from where he was trying to wake Hermione up and said "It means exactly what was said Draco. You are her mate. Now that she found you she will finally feel whole for the first time in five years. When a Veela finds her or his mate it means that they will only ever want that person and nobody else. The Veela in them will want to claim you eventually but unlike with male Veela's where they want to do so right away a female Veela will work up to it. You may be Hermione's mate but until she marks you and then you mark her she will still be in danger of other males trying to harass her."

Draco sighed and asked "Why can't my life ever be normal? I finally just got Father and Mother to agree to let me pick my own wife out instead of marrying me off to a person of their choice."

Severus gave a bark of laughter and said "Draco your life has never been normal. I am only going to tell you this once and if you don't listen to my word of caution then you will have me to deal with and more than likely you will have Remus to deal with also. You will treat Hermione with respect. She is still getting over her attack and I will not have her pressured in any way, shape, or form. You will also treat her son and daughter like they are precious to you. If you hurt Hermione, little Severus, or Serena I will not hesitate to kill you. I do not care that you are my Godson. Do I make myself clear?"

Draco swallowed and nodded. "Yes, sir."

Severus nodded and then stood up after placing Hermione's head gently on the floor and bent back down only to lift Hermione into his arms. He looked at Brianna, Brooklyn, Bella, Albus, Minerva, and Remus. "I am taking Hermione to the infirmary so that Poppy can check her over. I would appreciate it if you would all keep an eye on the babies for now. I'll let you know what Poppy says."

Remus nodded his head as did Albus, Brooklyn, Brianna, and Bella but Minerva and Draco said at the same time "We'll come with you."

Severus just nodded and then decided to walk to the infirmary instead of using the floo. He led the way out of the office with Hermione clutched to his chest tightly and with Minerva and Draco following behind him. He was worried even though he didn't say anything because Hermione should have come around by now. He looked down at her as he made his way through the main hall to the infirmary. As soon as he pushed the doors to the infirmary open he bellowed "Poppy."

Poppy came running out of the potions storage room and her eyes widened when she saw that Severus was holding onto someone. "What happened Severus and who is that?"

Severus walked over to the closest bed and placed Hermione down gently on the bed. "This is Hermione. She fainted after her eyes met Draco's. You see Hermione is a Veela and Draco is her mate. She just gave birth about three months back after she was attacked and couldn't get away fast enough. She should have came around by now but she hasn't."

Poppy gasped and pulled her wand out and ran it over Hermione silently. "She is slightly malnutrioned and she is still healing from where she gave birth. Do you know about the circumstances surrounding her birth Severus? From what the tests show it was a hard delivery."

Severus shook his head. "I don't know but I know someone who may know. I'll use your fireplace and have Brianna come through."

Poppy nodded and watched as Severus walked over to the fireplace at the other end of the infirmary. She looked at Minerva and then at Draco before looking back down at her patient as Severus knelt down to talk to someone. She ran a couple more test as she waited for Severus to walk back over with a woman that she didn't recognize.
