Chapter 2: Finding A Mate
Everything was going well with shopping and Harry hadn't smelled anything just yet. The golden Trio was just going into the book store when Harry froze. Hermione didn't notice as she opened the door. She stopped when she saw who was about to come out.
Draco had been reaching for the door handle and he stood frozen as Harry was staring at Ron. Ron half glared back at the blonde, his hopes weren't very high. A long fingered and elegant male hand landed lightly on Draco's shoulder and the boy snapped back into place. He turn a sneer on looking at Hermione and spoke, "So nice to see you finally realize you station Granger."
Ron blinked at the way Draco had actually spoke, it didn't have the usual hardness to it. He then really looked at Draco, the boy's figure had changed ever so slightly to make him look even more feminine. Ron gasped as that realization hit him hard and everything fell into place. "Harry? We gotta go." He turned grabbing the still motionless Nymph by the arm.
Ron pulled Harry away from the scene not hearing the possessive but quiet growl come from behind Draco. Draco however glanced over his shoulder. He noted that Severus was glaring death at Ron's backside as he pulled Harry away.
"Come Draco. Your father is expecting us." Severus managed to keep his anger from his voice. He pushed Draco gently out the door and down the alley.
Hermione looked around completely confused now. She too had heard the soft growl and seen the reactions of both her friends and the two Slytherins. She knew something was going on, and her friends weren't telling her what.

Ron didn't stop pulling Harry along until they were in a dark corner of the Leaky Cauldron away from everyone else. "Harry..." Ron's voice was shaky from both running and apprehension.
Harry blinked looking at Ron. "I think you made him mad." He said softly.
"No Harry, I think you were right." Ron said not really listening to Harry. He however froze before explaining as Draco and Severus entered and crossed to the floo. They both glanced toward the corner before flooing out. Severus had glared pointedly at Ron before following Draco through the network.
Ron gulped at the look he was given. "Harry, that was worse then normal." He whispered a bit shaken.
Harry was once more blinking at where Severus had just been. "Mate.." He murmured softly. He then started moving toward the fireplace.
Ron grabbed Harry's arm again. "Where do you think your going?" He exclaimed bring Harry out of his hazy trance.
Harry gasped softly and sunk down into the booth they had been standing near. Tears were forming in his eyes now as it really started to sink in. "Oh no... Please no." He murmured shaking his head.
"Harry, what is wrong?" Ron asked forgetting his own trouble in face of Harry's sudden panic.
"Not him please no..." Harry continued not hearing Ron. "He hates me. It can't be him." He had pulled his knees up and was hugging them tightly now.
Ron frowned as he listened to his friend. "Snape is one of your mates." He gasped at the thought and then suddenly pulled Harry up. "Come on Harry." He pulled him to the fireplace and tossed in a big handful of floo powder. He focused on the last connection made before calling out "Malfoy Manor."

"You are back early." Lucius commented dryly as Draco steeped out of the floo. He looked up from the paper when there was no reply. Draco was currently holding Severus up as the man threatened to collapse.
"Your other Mate has come of age. He became aggravated when my Mate pulled him away in fright." Draco finally spoke at the look on his Father's face. Lucius was by them with seconds and pulling Severus into his arms tightly.
"I've made such a mess." Severus spoke so softly he was just barely heard.
Lucius' eyes flashed not used to this from his mate. "Draco explain." He ordered knowing better then to push Severus right now.
It was then that the floo flared to activity again. Ron and Harry tumbled out in a jumble of limbs. They looked up at the sound of growling to see Lucius now holding Severus back. Harry was frozen once more from the heavy scent filling the room. Ron was the first to move and that was to shove Harry at Severus and Lucius. "He is all yours. I'm so sorry I took him away."
Harry stumbled toward them, drawn closer by their scent. Lucius now completely understood why Severus was so upset. "Come here, Harry, we won't hurt you." Lucius beckoned softly, Severus had stopped growling the moment Ron let go of Harry.
Ron had taken several more steps back not even noticing that he was getting closer to Draco. Draco was very pleased with this turn of events and he was smiling brightly. He had completely dropped his pureblood Malfoy mask and his veela traits were really shining through. Harry blinked at the two men in front of him. He was lost in his own mind now, not understanding how they could be his mates. He looked at his feet, not sure if he could believe Lucius.
"Harry... you should listen to them." Ron said seeing the unease in his best friend. Harry looked back at Ron and saw Draco just behind him. He realized this was how Draco really was and that he'd been wrong about the blonde boy. Harry took his glasses off and turned back to his mates. "You've never really lied to me." He murmured, "Please don't start now."
"Never." Lucius answered letting his own mask fall as well before nudging Severus to do the same. Lucius' though long to start with became longer, while his angular features became sharper. Severus was more reluctant but did let his true self show after another nudge from Lucius. His changes were far more noticeable than Lucius'. His nose, which was his most dominate feature, shifted and shrunk to a normal size and shape. The grease that usually clung to his hair cleared up while it grew out past his waist. He lost a good six inches off his height. The sharpness of his face softened dramatically.
Ron gasped and took another step back, and bumped into Draco. He panicked and looked to see what he bumped into only to pass out from the shock. Harry didn't pay Ron any mind as he watched. He was in awe by the sight of the two men who were his mates. He didn't notice his feet moving him closer to them. Lucius put his free arm around Harry's shoulders and pulled him into them. "We will never hurt you young one." He murmured reassuringly.
Harry looked up at them with a little smile. "Okay." He answered and nuzzled into Lucius' chest. He breathed in taking in both their scents. Severus was still weary but was calming down because of the way Harry was excepting them. His feline tail flicked around to wrap around one of Harry's wrists. His ears even came out of hiding within his hair, as he tilted his head to the side watching Harry. Harry looked back at him confused completely by what he was. Instinctively Severus turned into Lucius hiding his face from view, because of this he didn't see Harry's free hand move. Harry was reaching up to scratch one of Severus' ears. This caused the frighted creature to jump but purr at the same time. He reluctantly looked at Harry again while Harry continued to stroke his ear.
Draco frowned as he moved to Ron's side. He sighed as he checked his mate over before levitating him over to the couch. Draco sat beside Ron watching his father's mates now as he waited for Ron to wake.
"You two both need to calm down." Lucius said softly pulling them as close as possible. "We've all said things that should not have been said and done things that shouldn't have. There is very little we do to change that." It was Harry this time to hide his face in Lucius' chest. "Harry, please try to understand." Harry mumbled something into his chest. "I do not hate you, only what that manipulative old man had you doing."
Harry pulled back a little looking up at him. "Really?" He asked softly.
"Albus has forced many people into the roles they play in this war." Lucius answered, "He has made his last mistake. The Dark Lord will see an end to this war."
Harry blinked at the last statement. He pulled away suddenly to pulled his mother's letter from his robe pocket . "Why?" He asked showing Lucius the seals on the envelop. He had forgotten the dark mark being there after reading the letter until that moment.
Lucius's eyes widened seeing the dark mark beside the Potter seal. "I don't know. What is this?"
"A.. a letter from my mother." Harry answered uncertainly. "She... she said about you." Harry blushed lightly as he remembered that part of the letter.
"I thought she might know. Sev sometimes let's it slip." Lucius answered.
"I did not." Severus retorted pushing away to pout at Lucius. "She just knew."
"Shush I'm not mad love." Lucius pulled Severus back. "I will speck to my Lord about it, but we should be getting you and Mr. Weasley back before they notice you are gone."
Harry frowned shaking his head and clinging to them. "Don't wanna go."
"Harry, it's only a few days longer. We will know if you need us." Lucius said softly holding him closer. "You will have us both once school starts. I am to take the Potions position while Severus takes the Dark Arts post. You will be safe."
"Ron is still out Father. Let them stay." Draco spoke up from his spot be Ron's side.
All three looked over at the pair. Harry broke into a giggle fit at the sight. "He has a huge crush on you."
"Oh..." Draco looked back at Ron smiling softly. "Dose Granger know?"
"Not really." Harry answered with a shrug. "I'm the only one he told."
"So you tell him." Came a grumbled response from the not so unconscious red head.
"Ron have you been faking the whole time?" Draco pouted at the red head as he sat up.
"No just since Harry opened his big mouth." Ron answered still grumbling. "The only way you'll talk him into leaving is if you actually mark him in some way. Just a feeling I have about that." He shrugged, "I really didn't mean to pull him away like that, we had no idea who his mates were. Plus it was a bit of a shock to see... Draco. Sorry, we had been talking and I really didn't think anything would come... I do really like you Draco." He grunted as he was tackled into the couch by the exuberant veela. This caused the other three to break into laughter.
