Mate of a Veela/Siren: Chapter 8,

(Disclaimer, see chapter1, on with the story...)

Samantha and Lucius were sitting out in an enchanted outdoor restaurant having brunch, where the climate is comfortable, talking laughing as her hand had traveled to where the silver expensive necklace was hanging, Samantha smiled. Lucius caught it, the necklace had brought his mate joy, he felt himself flying never before had a girl like Samantha affected him in such a way. True there was her 'very' over protective father the blonde wizard would deal with his long time friend, making sure there will no knives present, or maybe cast a binding charm on him?

Samantha giggled at that one, he loved her laugh, reaching up and tucking of her fallen raven hair behind her ear, ''May I ask your hand, for a dance?'' Lucius had cordially asked her, while extending his gloved hand, she smiled and said yes, as he got up he then walked the space between them, and held his arm for her. Samantha took his larger arm, and they made their way to the floor, placing her hand on his upper bicept, and the other locked rightfully with his. Bringing his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him to so that their bodies can mold themselves together, and clasping her hand and bringing it to his warm lips and giving the back of her hand a kiss.

The young woman blushed very hard, she had tried to nibble on her bottom lip and look down, Lucius wasn't having any of it, tipping her chin up to meet his brooding intense stare, ''Angel, do not look down from me...'' As they began to dance, their eyes speaking, their lips meeting, without them sensing or knowing pictures were snapping quietly, ''I never want this day to end, Minamoto...'' Samantha had said while laying her head upon his chest to hear his heart beat... it matched her's?!

It had hit her, he was made for her, she was made for him! They were like two pieces of a puzzle becoming one, Samantha had never been in love before but this feeling... what is it? Somehow, in someway, it had felt right in every sense of the word, was it deeper than 'love?' was it more personal? More spiritual? As Lucius spun Samantha across the dance floor, she laughed and enjoyed this feeling, immensely.

Their lips had met again and again, after the song some of the patrons there were clapping at the beautiful couple out on the floor, he kissed her hand and then he grabbed her and spun her around again. Samantha and Lucius were actually happy he kissed her again, the blonde man could do this forever, his mate was by him... his heaven... his angel... his everything.

They had left, with Samantha's arm twined with Lucius's, sadly they had to go back to Hogwarts, they would see each other daily however he wouldn't be able to kiss her or touch her; that pained him-and his inner Veela/Siren. Lucius always wanted his mate near him, ''Angel?'' She had looked at him from her looking at the window watching things pass by, ''Yes,'' She had responded.

''Have you thought about my offer to take you to the Holiday Dance?'' The man had inquired to her, ''Yes, I have, and the answer is yes!'' He had cupped her face again and kissed her cheek and temple. Samantha smiled, as he continued on the other side of her face and then her forehead, ''Samantha,'' They both had made eye contact with each other, ''Yes?'' Holding her hand, ''What do you what to do after you graduate?'' Lucius had asked her while the smooth carriage ride was journeying on to the famed magical school known as Hogwarts.

''I don't know, I have a lot of options, I could be a professor like my father; knowing my luck I'll get the Defense Against the Dark Arts Post, and knowing papa like we do, he may skin me alive... or a Qudditch player with Toni and Sid, but I fear that me poor knees are not what they used to be... I have been thinking about going to the University that was created in honor of Merlin, before he was a fall down drunk... Why?'' Samantha had counter asked the man, ''I want you to move in with me, Samantha, think on it...'' Lucius had asked her while the carriage pulled up to Hogwarts.

As Lucius got out, he had helped Samantha down, the day was blissful in about another hour or so it will be dinner time; as Lucius and Samantha walked in the halls of the school not paying any type of attention to the people with the Prophet in their hands whispering. Samantha sighed as she had felt Lucius's hand twine with her's again, ''Do not acknowledge this...'' He had muttered against her ear, sending her to shudder.

After they had gotten to her rooms, he had given her a kiss on her hand, ''Do think on my offer, Angel, take your time... and,'' Tipping her chin up to meet his stare, ''Be proud to be with me, I am proud to be with you.'' Samantha smiled and leaned up and kissed his lips softly, as she said the password stepping in, reluctantly leaving him for a while...

With a soft smile on her face, Samantha had placed her hand on her heart, and started the walk up to her bedroom when she had heard a noise; she thought that it was either her kittens or Peppermint in her own room. It had already been ten seconds, and she missed Lucius terribly, the way that he would hold her hand with his, the way that his lips would meet her's; as her mind wondered while she was climbing the stairs-Samantha couldn't shake the feeling that there was something wrong.

Something wasn't right! She knew it, she felt it! Samantha thought that she was being paraniod from the previous night, and the war, just as her hand had touched the door knob; Samantha had felt her body being thrown back down the stairs. With a cry of pain, as she landed hard at the foot of the stairs, coughing and nursing her leg and her rib trying to get her breathing back to normal and attempting to mutter some healing charms. However she didn't even get a chance to gather her scattered wits, Samantha had felt herself being grabbed again by a tall masked teen, and tossed roughly over the black leather sofa and the coffee table had broken even under her weight.

''HELP!'' She screamed, ''No one will hear you... cunt...'' The voice had rasped while pouncing on her again, she tried to fight him, he had backhanded her, ''Bitch! Don't fight me!'' He had screamed again while she had cried out with every slap and every backhand. Pulling out the rusty death eater dagger that was used to carve into her flesh, and slicing off the top half of her dress, ''L-Lucius!'' The attacker had slapped her again, ''NO! Lucius help me!'' The attacker then made a mistake, by lighting his form off of her's for a moment to unzip his pants, in that moment it had allowed her to get her elder wand.

''Conjunctivitis!Crucio!'' The teen boy feel to his knees, clutching his eyes, Samantha had wasted to time at all, and gathered her wands and wrapped her cloak around herself as best as she could the raven hared Slytherin seventh year knew that her leg wasn't broken. But it still hurt like hell, standing up as fast as she could and gimping fastly and opened the portrait door and running anywhere ''Someone! Help!'' She continued to run in the empty hallways... hoping that Lucius could hear her...

Meanwhile with Draco and Hermione- while Samantha was escaping

As Harry joined them from his rounds, ''Anything?'' Asked The Headgear, ''Negative, general, a couple of snogging students... nothing major.'' Both looked around and Draco said ''How about we look over a few more hallways and call it a night, I am getting tired,'' Both had agreed, ''And I have to finish proof reading my Charms assignment, before I turn it in.'' Came Harry's voice, the three had decided to check down one or two more hall ways and pass it on to the teachers.

The three were turning the corner, ''Krystia! You scared the life out of me!'' Hermione's voice had came, ''What are you doing out of bed after hours?'' Draco's voice rung out, ''Samantha's being attacked!'' The three knew about the cousin's mental link, ''Where?!'' Harry's voice had rung out in concern, he cared for Samantha a great deal still, ''In her Common Room,'' The four had ran down the hall going to Samantha's room, they had seen the portrait door opened and from the looks of it, it looked like a hippogriff's mating frenzy.

''What the bloody hell...'' Krystia said while crying and running in with the three hot on her heels, ''Sam! Where are you? Answer me hunni!'' She had screamed in pure panic, as Draco was looking around until Samantha's scent had gotten caught in his nose ''This way!'' The son of Lucius and Narissca had pointed while running back out the Common Room, and following Draco's running figure.

Back to Samantha

The girl had managed to reach the Headmaster's office, ''Chocolate Imps!'' She had screamed and the statue had opened while it was opening she was looking around, to make sure that her attacker wasn't behind her; she had a bit at ease. Samantha had ran into the opening where the Headmaster's office had lied, the girl had neared the door and heard voices they sounded male, one sounded like Lucius, naturally her father and the other belonged to the elder Headmaster Albus Dumbledore.

The girl was shaking and scared but she thought that the coward that was trying to do God knew what, would be coming soon, she had barged in and fell on her knees crying, ''Ms. Snape!'' The elder man had ran from his desk, her father was shaking his head in disbelief, Lucius was in a flash gathering his mate in his arms. The blonde had taken off his trademark robes and slid it around her cold form, a shaking Samantha had wrapped herself around Lucius crying loudly, ''Lucius!'' He was soothing her, who did this to his mate, would pay a very painful end; the headmaster had flooed the nurse.

Poppy had came in her typical nurse's uniform, ''Albus you called?'' Guiding her to the distraught girl in Lucius's arms, as Severus knelt down to try and comfort his crying child, ''Oh Merlin!'' The nurse had screamed while hustling to the three, ''Child, what happen to you?'' The headmaster had kindly asked in a grandfatherly voice, shaking looking up at him ''I..I don't k-know...he he wore a mask...he...he...'' Samantha's cries tore at Lucius's heart, her arms were shaking and wrapping themselves around him.

''Lucius, help me get her to the hospital wing,'' Poppy had gently asked him, while he was helping his mate up, ''Samantha,'' Her father had called to her, her tear filled ocean blue gaze had looked at him ''Papa...'' She had fearfully whispered, ''Come here, daughter,'' Reluctantly leaving her boyfriend's arms and briefly going to her father's, ''Severus, come with me to Samantha's Common Room, both of us will personally see to this matter, my dear, *she looked at her headmaster* what else had happened tonight in the room?'' He could tell.

Samantha had got out of her father's hold and ran to Lucius's arms and cried harder, what was going on with his mate? The girl was heaving and hyperventilating, ''He...he tried...tried to rape me!'' Crying harder on Lucius, who had tightened his arms around her. Severus was trembling with anger, Dumbledore stared in shock; Lucius was twitching his inner Veela/Siren was in chaos... who ever did this would pay a very high price... As the blonde wizard gathered her bridal style, and carrying her to the hospital wing with the school nurse.

''Lucius,'' Her hoarse and uneven voice had called his name, ''Angel?'' He replied, ''What about Peppermint? She's there in there!'' He had assured her that Peppermint will be taken care of they had followed the medi witch to the hospital wing; and he had placed his mate down on one of the beds. Samantha didn't want him to leave, holding onto him tightly, 'I need him...' The raven hared soon to be 18 year old was crying, ''Ms. Snape, release Professor Malfoy, just for a moment while I spell something on you.'' Poppy didn't yell at the girl, she was traumatized which was natural.

Samantha had reluctantly released Lucius's middle shakingly as the medi witch closed the curtain for a second and spelled on a simple white gown, and tucked her in the bed, ''Lucius come back in, Samantha is decent,'' The girl had sniffled, as he came around the curtain, and sat at her bed and started to hold her hand and kissing her temple gently, she wasn't flinching...

''Stay with me, Lucius...'' Samantha had whispered before the last of her adrenaline had passed- Lucius watched as she passed out... he had tightened his hold on her hand ''I will never leave you, angel, Poppy give me what she needs to heal her physical wounds, and I will see to her needs in my rooms, she is not safe here. Whom ever did this, may be back, or may target someone else, I will not hear anything else Poppy.'' Lucius had drawled out his order, Poppy did as he ordered her to against her own better judgement.

With that decided and done, Lucius had picked up his mate and carried her to his rooms without anyone noticing him, ''me nigra sum, cobra,'' He had whispered against her temple as he tucked her in his bed that was big enough for two, '' Stroking hair hair from her battered face, feeling the anger rise even more, he couldn't even get a scent! Samantha needed him! That was more important, besides making that sorry sod pay dearly for what that bastard had done to his dainty and delicate mate; leaning forward, ''flavaque pulchra corvum Angeli, Oculos tuos, et dulce mihi somnia volare, Ego ero yourside...'' Lucius had whispered while spelling his night clothes on and cuddling up to his mate, holding her bruised and battered body.

''I will kill who ever touched you...'' He had growled in anger... in vengeance... Samantha would move in with him during her remainder of the school year, there will be no questions about it...
