A/N; ok people this is my second chapter. I am sorry i didn't post it earlier, i started writting it but my comp went wack on me and i kept having to restart writting it, but i finally got it. I tried to encorperate everything that people told me so thanks to everyone who gave suggestions especially lionesseyes13. Well i hope you enjoy=)
From last time;
It smells like vanilla and lavenders mixed with berries of some sort. I concentrate harder and feel the presence build till I could feel that somewhere on the train the smell was coming from, I started to feel my Veela side become elated with the news of its, our, my, mate being a student at Hogwarts and not being able to wait to know who it is. I concentrated more and let the presence start to become more centred and feel closer. The presence was closer than I had ever imagined and I started to feel excited with my Veela side. Then it came to a stop and I knew who it was.
My mate is…
Malfoy's POV
…I can't believe my mate is…Hermione Granger. I have to see Blaise after this; it's a good thing we have the prefect meeting right now because otherwise I might tell her without meaning to.
I can see the inquisitive look on her face that makes her look all the more beautiful, wait where the hell did that come from? I ask myself but also knowing that if we don't move soon she's gonna start asking questions I don't want to answer…yet.
"I am curious about whom it is but if you do not want to tell me then you do not have to, but right now we should get going. The prefects meeting is supposed to be started soon," she said standing up, waiting for me. For a few seconds I just sat there, watching her stretch. Her lean body, slightly bending back, showing all her wondrous curves even through the thick robes.
Then I noticed her turning around and quickly looked away. Making sure she wouldn't notice, because something I do know from the years is that she IS smart and will very likely figure it out if I am not careful in the least. "Let's go then," she said walking towards the door, momentarily waiting for me to quickly get up and follow.
On the way to the prefects meeting compartment I walked slightly behind Hermione, always watching but being careful she would never notice. Silently we made our way along the long corridor, finally reaching our destination.
From outside the door we could hear the noise of at least a dozen fifth to seventh years talking and laughing. As soon as the door was opened the room went deathly silent.
I inwardly chuckled and let the smirk slide back onto my face as I recalled the reasons for their silence. Hermione is widely known for her compassion but also for her stubbornness, and her temper. It takes a lot for her to lose her temper but when she does I suggest running. I was on the receiving end of her anger in third year and ended up being slapped, and let me tell you for a girl she can throw a punch!
Also they fear my reputation, the Slytherins respect me and fear me but the rest of the school is under the suspicion that I am a Death Eater. Which thank you very much I am NOT. My father wants me to but I agree with my mother on the fact that its just stupid, I mean come on Voldemort's always going on about "pure blood" when seriously he's not even on.
As we walk to the front of the room I look into the crowd of people. I can see Pansy sending goo-goo eyes at me, ugh that girl is creepy. I see Potter and Weasel and silently laugh when I think of what their reaction will be to the Golden Trios bookworm being my mate. Those two are really dimwitted, I can admit that Potter has some skills when it comes to DADA and Quiditch but when it comes to common sense the both of them are lacking. I know this year I will get that snitch before Potter does, I have to.
Everyone is silent watching us as we walk in front of them. Finally coming to a stop Hermione immediately starts.
"Hello everyone, I hope your summer has been good. Now it is time for another school year. All of you have been given the honour of Prefects, please do not abuse it. Malfoy and I have been made the Heads so if you have any questions or suggestions please come to our dorm and talk to us at any time." She said all of this with an air of authority that just made me admire her more for. "Malfoy and I will make up the schedule tonight for the week, but for tonight we will have three prefects patrolling. Parkinson will be patrolling the north tower. Since this is his first year as prefect, Ron will accompany Harry on his round past the Great Hall and Library. Luna will go with Ginny down towards the dungeons. Does everyone know the rules for prefects?"
The group let out various yeses, all agreeing.
"Ok then it seems we are done here, Blaise come here," I monotonously add trying to cut the meeting short.
Blaise walks up to me as Hermione walks away over to the remaining two of the Golden Trio.
"Hey, you wanted to talk?" Blaise says, quiet enough no one else could hear.
"Yeah, but not here, in my compartment, Her-Granger wont be back for a while," I say turning on my heel before he can notice my slip up.
Blaise follows me silently and as I pass Hermione I once again catch that mouth watering scent beckoning me to wrap my arms around her and kiss her senseless. Shaking those thoughts from my head I walked out the door with Blaise right behind me.
Soon we have entered the Heads compartment and set a spell on the door to let us know when the door was going to be opened.
I decide to just go right out and say it not beat around the bush with small talk.
"Ok I wanted to talk to you because I have a problem," I looked at him and he nodded, telling me to continue. "I am a half Veela; do you know what that means?"
"You have a mate," he states simply.
"Yes but it's not the fact that I have a mate that is the problem, it's who it is," I say finally sitting down and motioning for Blaise to join me.
"Who is it then," he says after we sit for a few seconds without saying anything.
"Hermione," I simple state, watching the emotions play across his face. Confused to surprise to wonder finally settling on grinning. "What are you grinning at?"
"You," he says still grinning like a maniac. "You've liked her since first year, the first time she fought you, but you also hated her ha how are you going to approach this? What does she know about Veela?"
"Um...how about everything!"
"Ha true it is the bookworm- don't look at me like that at least I didn't call her Mudblood for the last five years- of course she knows everything about it."
"Yeah and she even has made it easier for me too. She's giving me lessons about them AND she helped pass a law that states no one is allowed to not be with the Veela if they are the mate," I say grinning at the thought.
"Ha really?" as I nodded he couldn't help laughing a bit. "Wow this is gonna be easier for you, so when are you gonna tell her?"
"After I find out everything about Veela's form her cause if I tell her she may never finish."
"Yeah true, but seriously give the girl some credit, she hangs out with Potty and Weasel she doesn't scare easy."
"You're right but I am still going to wait," as soon as I finished the sentence the spell we set went off signalling Hermione was back.
I quickly silenced the spell and as she came in both Blaise and I sat silently, with minor checking out on my part.
After sitting down Hermione picked up a book, leaving the two of us to our silence. About five minutes later Blaise stood up and said he was going back to the Slytherin compartment and left.
As soon as he left Hermione marked her page and set the book down, looking up towards me with her beautiful brown whirlpools.
"So what is it that you want to know about Veela?" she asked, her inquisitive eyes brimming with knowledge wanting to be shared.
"Um ok what are the marks?" I ask looking for the most important information my mind can think of in her presence.
"The first marking is done by the Veela on the mates neck on the right side. The second is done right over the heart again by the Veela. The third and final is done by the mate. They will, for the point of the marking, grow fangs. The mate will bite the Veela over the heart as well proving their love and willingness to be together till they both die." She says all this with out her expression changing.
"Ok so is it easy for the mate to figure out that they are the mate of a Veela?" I ask hoping the answer is no.
"No," I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. "Not unless they expect it which is really impossible, so unless they have had a seer tell them then there is no way to know until the symptoms are shown."
"Will I get extra powers?"
"Yes, once you find out who your mate is you will be able to read their mind and talk to them through it, but they can learn how to put up mind blocks to keep you out. After the first bonding they won't be able to put any blocks up and you will be able to read their emotions. After the second you will be able to teleport to where ever they are at anytime even in Hogwarts or other un-aporational places. Right now even, if you were made mad or your mate was put in danger you could change into a monster. It has wings and talons but still retains its human features and unnatural beauty. You will be able to seduce all woman except your mate although it will cause you pain unless you have innocent reasons for it. You will also be able to fly without a broom, and of course your senses have all been heightened by 10x."
"Ok I know being a Malfoy and all I shouldn't do this but, that's awesome," I exclaim before I can stop myself and not really wanting to stop myself in front of her.
"Ha your right it is pretty cool." Her face turned to pondering and she said, "You know Malfoy we will have to deal with each other for the whole year and we are getting along pretty well right now. How about we call each other by our first names…Draco?"
Hearing her call me by my first name sent shivers of longing down my back, remembering her question I quickly answered, "Of course, Hermione." Seeing her face light up with a smile I couldn't help but start smiling back.
"Good, so what else do you want to know?"
"How is the mate chosen?"
"Its always someone you've harboured a secret longing for, but also someone capable of the same things as you. So yours will be someone smart, intuitive, stubborn as hell, and able to keep up with you jibes. Blood in this case doesn't matter in the least; she could easily be half blood or muggle born."
Yeah I figured that out already. "Ok, so if my mate is hurt will I be hurt?"
"No, only if it was you who hurt her."
"Ok, thanks for this Hermione."
"No problem you needed help and I could give it. If you have any questions or need help with anything just ask. If you just want to talk I'm here too, Harry and Ron aren't very good to have an intellectual conversation with." She smiled wryly, and I had to laugh at that.
Oh I will definitely be taking you up that offer, although I just might want to do more than talking hehehe. "You know I might just take you up on that, its hard to find someone to talk to at all in Slytherin." I look out the window and notice that we are coming up to the train stop. "And we are here, it's a good thing we don't have to deal with the first years now, some of them are cocky little buggers." She raised one of her perfect eyebrows at this. "What?"
"You do realise that you were like that in your first year too, right?"
I quickly think back to my first year, reviewing it, then start laughing as I see the truth in her words. "Ha your right I was, oh well lets get to the carriage."
I lead the way through the crowd this time brining us up to the Heads carriage and holding the door open for Hermione.
Third Person POV
Little did our two Heads notice; someone was watching the whole encounter. Someone who quickly became jealous and plotting revenge against the one who stole what was "theirs" away…
