AN: This is written for The Golden Snitch, Halloween Costume Contest, Dress-Up Challenge. The prompt is: Cheerleader-Write about a character falling for a Veela. My school and house are, Hogwarts, Slytherin.

This is VeelaDracoAU! This is set at the end of seventh year, right after summer starts. There is no Voldemort at all, so a lot of people are still alive. Harry is not famous, and Lily/James are still alive. (That is not a major part of the story, sorry!)


Draco and Hermione were sitting at Harry's house, with Lily helping them find a flat in the Wizarding world. They would have had Draco's mother help them, but seeing as they haven't come out to his parents yet, that was pretty impossible. It also helped that Lily was a Wizarding Real Estate Agent.

They soon settled on the perfect flat, that contained two bedrooms, living, dining, bath, and kitchen. It was medium sized and perfect for the number of books that they both possessed. Thanking Lily for her time, they signed the lease and left, promising to come back soon for dinner.


They both went to their respective homes the night before, and the next day, Hermione was fretting about dinner that night. She was going to formally meet Draco's parents, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy. She tried telling Draco to wait longer, to give them more time, but he would have none of it, they had already been keeping their secret for over three years now, and he figured now was as good a time as any to let them know that Hermione was who he wanted, and if they didn't like it, they could shove it.

Luckily for them, they knew that things would work out, since they had already been together so long and confronted Hermione's friends and family head on. The only problem that any of them had, is what would Lucius Malfoy do?


Once Hermione was ready, and Draco had picked her up from her parents' house, they arrived at Draco's family home, Malfoy Manor. Before they headed for dinner, they settled in the family parlor, awaiting Draco's announcement.

"I am terribly sorry to sound rude, but Ms. Granger here, is not pregnant, is she?" Interrupted Narcissa.

"Oh, Merlin no! That's not why we wanted to talk to you all about, but pretty close, actually. Hermione and I are seeing each other, and-"

Cutting Draco off, Lucius got straight to the point, "No, you absolutely cannot see Miss Granger!"

"No, you don't understand, I don't care that she is Muggleborn, or that if we marry and have kids, the Malfoy line will not be 'pure' anymore, I don't care. I love Hermione, and I wish to be with her as long as she lets me."

"That's not the point, son! I knew I should have told you sooner, but I kept putting it off. Now, I wish I had, it would have saved us all, a lot of trouble, and inevitably, heartbreak."

"Get to the point, please, dad?"

"To put it bluntly, since you lack patience. When you turn 20, in two years' time, you will come into your inheritance. Your Veela inheritance. You will have to find your mate, and get her to accept you. We are one of the last Male Veela lines in Britain, and since Male Veela are rare, we keep it quiet. So, Miss Granger, anything you hear today stay's in this room, understand?"

"Yes sir, but I don't understand? Veela's are usually only to have sexual intercourse with their mate, and I'm sorry to be crude, but Draco and I, have been partaking in the sport for a long time now," Hermione added.

"Then that could only mean one thing, dear, you are Draco's mate. Welcome to the family!" Butted in Narcissa.

With Hermione and Draco coming to terms of the quick acceptance, and the shocking bit of information that his father revealed. Draco and Hermione were able to settle into their life easier than they expected, and soon married. On the eve of Draco's birthday, he had the strong sense to mark Hermione as his, after doing so, they continued on with their festivities, and 9 months later welcomed their first child of many.
