Mate of a Veela Siren: Chapter 9

(Disclaimer, see chapter 1, and on with the story...)

Harry, Draco, Kyrstia, Hermione had arrived to the headmaster's office ''Chocolate imps!'' Rang out while halting briefly so that the statue can open, as the cold statue had opened there were both the headmaster and the potions professor. The adults had stared at their students, ''What are you lot doing out of bed?'' Asked a concerned headmaster, ''Where is my cousin, sir?'' Krystia had asked scared, and angry, laying a hand on the girl's shoulder, ''She is a bit shaken up, however she is alright, she is with Professor Malfoy in the hospital wing.'' Came the elderly wizard.

Krystia, who looked like she was zoning out, ''No, she is not, she is with Lucius in his private rooms, the coward that attacked her hopefully this person will not be so foolish as to attempt an attack, tonight...'' Krystia had replied, while thinking then Hermione had a thought, ''Where is Peppermint?'' The Headgirl had asked, true where was Samantha's best friend? The group of students including the headmaster and the potions master, were walking down the hall ways to Samantha's and Peppermint's Rooms.

As they had gotten in the broken portrait door, it had looked like there was a definite hippogriff like mating frenzy that had happened, ''Peppermint!'' Came Harry's voice, while running up the stairs, with Snape on his heels ''Come back here, Potter!'' Harry had pulled out his wand and Severus had done the same, Peppermint's door was ajar and that alone was nerve racking; both had looked at each other and back at the door, Severus and Harry nodded heads up and down once or twice.

Harry had opened the door and flung his body out of the way so that Severus could point his wand in the girl's room, everything was tossed around, like with Samantha in the Common Room, both were looking around then Harry peered into the bathroom, and saw ''My...God...'' There laid Peppermint barely conscious, Severus soon joined Harry's side, ''Holy Merlin...'' While going her side ''Ms. Parkinson... can you hear me?'' Lightly patting her face, as he did her eyes had fluttered open and focusing her black eyes for a second ''H..help...'' Before passing out.

As she did so, Harry had wrapped his school robes around her and lightly lifting her up, ''Careful Potter,'' As the two men were exiting the room and gently carrying a battered Peppermint down the stairs. Draco, Hermione and the Headmaster were checking out the crime scene that was displayed in the Common Room, as the three looked up upon hearing the stairs creak, Hermione had brought her hands up to her mouth, ''Oh my God!'' As the group headed to he hospital wing, Krystia had kicked the door up.

The annoyed medi witch had came bustling in ''Mr. Potter!'' She had looked, ''Oh Merlin, what had happened to Ms. Parkinson?'' Draco was helping Harry set Peppermint down on the bed by them, while the school's healer was mending her bones. Severus had stepped forward, ''It appears the same thing that happened to my daughter.'' Hermione looked around, two attacks in one night? It doesn't make any sense... The schools' Headgirl, who was deemed the smartest witch of the century will earn her name, ''Hermione, you seem to be in deep thought?'' The Headmaster had asked while joining his students and his professor of potions.

''It seems a bit odd, sir, that there were two attacks in one night... I have a theory, sir, maybe Samantha had came sometime after the attack, and the person that did this discovered her going to her room after Professor Malfoy had escorted her to the portrait... Then the person probably thought that he might have attacked the wrong person, or he had attacked Peppermint so that she wouldn't try to save Samantha; he blitzed her from behind...'' That was a good theory, ''And some how, she had managed to curse him or hex him and get away, and get help,'' Completed Hermione while looking up at the room.

''Hermione, you watch way too many Investigation Discovery, but that's a good theory... obviously, the attacker is male, and could know the password the two's room...'' Came Harry's voice in thought, ''No who had been watching Investigation Discovery?'' Hermione had to razz him, Krystia just stayed quiet, ''This coward it attacking girls... I don't understand...'' Just as that moment Bill Weasley had came in the Hospital Wing, ''You sent for me Headmaster?'' Asked the eldest Weasley brother, before the old man could answer, Bill's gaze had drifted to a prone and battered Peppermint..

''What in Merlin's name!'' He had flown to her side, and holding her hand, ''Peppermint... can you hear me? Who did this?'' The red hared man had growled angrily, Dumbledore had laid a calming hand onto the man's back, ''I will personally look into this matter, my boy, tomorrow will be a fresh start... Bill, do you wish to stay with Peppermint until she is alright you may; I will take over your lessons until then, as for you lot off you all go.'' The elderly man had said while the group of people were following him out, he was right a fresh start tomorrow- who did this and why?

Meanwhile with Lucius and Samantha

The blonde Veela/Siren was laying in bed with his bed, just as he had gotten a bit more comfortable, two sets of 'Meows' had alerted him, to the foot of his bed, ''Chair,'' He had softly said while he had wrapped his arms around his mate to keep her warm and to keep her safe. His Samantha's two little adorable kittens had obeyed, with meows they had hopped off the bed and settled in the near by sof black leather chair, as his face turned from the kittens to face his mate, Samantha had opened her eyes.

''Lucius...'' Pressing herself closer to him, ''Sh, I am here now, angel...'' She started to cry softly into his bare chest, he hated to see her crying, ''My mate...'' Nuzzling her his inner Veela/Siren was still in chaos, it was calming down, Samantha reached and hugged Lucius's middle, 'Mate, needs us...' He inwardly groaned his inner creature will be a constant annoyance, and he would be unstoppable until he had bonded fully with his dainty witch that was laying by him now, ''Lucius,'' She whispered, with his keen hearing, he could hear her perfectly.

''Angel, what is it?'' He had asked while making eye contact with her, ''Lucius, I love you...'' Samantha had declared while cupping his face and kissing him, after they had parted, pressing his forehead to her's thankful that it was the weekend, and she will remain here with him until she graduates. After then, she would live with him at his manor, then marriage, oh their possibilities were endless...

The next morning...

Cherry, Samantha's personal house elf that followed her everywhere that she goes, had popped in the room that her mistress was in, Lucius had opened one eye to see the small house elf, ''Master Lucius, forgive Cherry for Cherry's interruption, but Headmaster Dumbledore, wantses to sees both Mistress Samantha and you Mister Lucius.'' The house elf had informed the man while bowing to him as if she was saying that she knew that Lucius was with her mistress; so that meant that he was her master too.

''Very well, Cherry, inform Dumbledore that Mistress Samantha and I will be up in his office soon...'' Cherry bowed again, ''Cherry do, what Master Lucius says...'' With a pop she was gone, turning himself from where the small house elf was, and placing his attention back upon his dainty raven hared mate. It pained him to have to wake her up, however the old man wishes to speak with both of them, ''Angel, wake up,'' She was talking a bit in sleep, Lucius had found it adorable. He tried again, ''Come on love, we must get out of bed,'' She growled for a second and pulled the covers over her head; Samantha was not a real early riser on the weekends- not that he could blame her.

''Samantha, come one angel, we must rise the Headmaster wishes to speak with us immediately,'' She was starting to wake up, ''Hm?'' Her breath taking ocean blue eyes were still fluttering open, Lucius had taken those few moments to look at her eye lashes even they were perfect- Samantha his Samantha, was perfect for him. As her haunting even beautiful ocean blue gaze had opened up to meet his cold blue silvery one, ''Good morning, my love, are you alright?
We must go, love, to the Headmaster's office as soon as we can; I believe that he wishes to speak to us.'' Seeing the questioning look upon his mate's face, ''I have no knowledge about what he wishes to see us for,'' As Samantha slowly sat up and gotten out of bed.

She had looked down to notice that she was in a white dressing gown from the hospital wing, suddenly the memory hit her, she was going up the stairs from her Common Room to her own that lied behind the portrait... Then someone had attacked her from behind and threw her down the stairs, and attacked her, hurt her, tried to... Samantha had lowered her head and started to shake it from side to side, and running to the bathroom and getting ready to go see the Headmaster. Samantha had Cherry bring down her clothes and things until further notice, as the raven hared ocean eyed Slytherin girl, quickly showered and got ready in a simple black and blue plaid skirt that reached her mid thighs, putting on a white oxford styled blouse, and a pair of black knee high socks.

As she had put on her black platform boots, and brushing her hair out, and walking out of the bathroom after putting a bit of makeup on; Lucius, who was ready dressed and ready to go, took Samantha's sight in... his mate looked so ravishing. Those boots made her short stature a bit taller, as he watched her walk to him, conjuring a black cloak and holding out to her, ''Come love,'' He commanded, as she walked towards him and stepping in to the cloak, she then took he offered arm and escorted her to the old man's office.

The hall ways to their destination, were empty, pretty much, as they had passed the warded off Common Room that Samantha and Peppermint... wait a minuet! The girl had stopped dead in her tracks and halting Lucius ''Angel, we must not be late,'' He seemed to notice her stare, ''Where is Peppermint?'' That was a good question, Peppermint could've been attacked as well, or she could be with Toni! Samantha was really hoping that the second was true however she knew something had happened to her long time childhood friend. After Lucius slightly tugged her along, Samantha had quickly fallen into time with him, ''Chocolate Imps,'' The History of Magic Professor had drawled out, as the statue had opened they both had stepped in and walked up the stairs.

Samantha's body wasn't really hurting, ''I healed your wounds last night my love, while you were passed out.'' She had felt his lips press into her temple softly and lovingly, Lucius had opened the door, to see Dumbledore at his desk, Draco, Hermione Severus and Harry all were waiting for them. Samantha had walked further into the room while Lucius was closing the door, ''You requested to speak with us, sir?'' Samantha had asked as Lucius was guiding her to the old man's trademark desk, to which he smiled as Draco, Hermione, Harry had greeted the couple.

''Ms. Snape, if you are up to it, I would like to ask you some questions,'' She had said ok, ''Is Peppermint alright, sir?'' Samantha had asked, as she had taken a seat by Lucius, much to her father's dismay, and crossing her legs, ''That I fear my dear, it has seemed that Ms Parkinson was not lucky to manage to escape...'' Seeing the look on the girl's face, ''She is it the hospital wing well tended, if I may my girl, may I ask what else you remember?'' Before Samantha could open her mouth, the door had busted opened and there was the newly re unstated Fudge, and Umbridge.

''Cornelius, Dolores, what can I do for you?'' Dumbledore had asked while placing his elbows upon the arms of his chair and placing his boney finger tips together, while nibbling on a piece of candy, ''Albus!'' In came Professor Mcgonagall in her teaching attire, ''It is alright Minerva,'' Dumbledore had said while looking at the annoyed deputy headmistress, ''Cornelius, what can I assist you with?'' Samantha had a bad feeling as she stood up and no sooner than she did, Lucius had done as well, ''Albus, we have come to collect Ms. Samantha Snape.'' The girl's heart was beating faster and cling onto Lucius tightly, he in turn, wrapped his arms around his mate to convey comfort to her.

''What are the charges? Am I to presume that she is under arrest, on her own birthday?'' Lucius had asked coolly as if inquiring about someone's day, true today marked October 31st meaning that as of today Samantha Angelina Snape is 18 an official adult, the two Ministry workers, had signaled for the two big aurors had came in to collect the terrified girl, who was shaking her head side to side and clinging onto Lucius's middle ''No! Don't let them take me!'' While she cried loudly, ''We have received word that you Samantha Angelina Snape had used an unforgivable curse last night... Do you deny it?'' Asked the Minister angrily.

''No, but I was being attacked...'' Dolores shook her head side to side ''Cornelius, it is clear that Ms. Snape is not telling the truth.'' Harry and Hermione stepped in front of the couple while Samantha was begging Lucius not to allow them near her, no one but Harry, Draco and Hermione saw the blonde wizard's eyes glow a red in a warning. Harry looked at the older man, ''Harry, son, please stand down, you two as well!'' Ordered Fudge the three were shaking their heads side to side ''Minister Fudge, in all respects, who accused Samantha of this crime?'' Harry had asked with his wand trained on the older man.

''It was Anonymous,'' Fudge had puffed out in an indignant manner, almost like a petulant brat, ''If you wish to drag Samantha out of this school kicking and screaming you have to go through me,'' All four angry people had looked shocked, ''And you can not do this to a girl! Under section 56 artical 23 in the school rules 'If a female student is under attack, in the school grounds, then that means she can use any method that she can think of in order to defend herself' so your argument is invalid.'' Came Hermione's voice while Dumbledore was standing in front of his students smiling with great pride.

''I apologize, for this waste of time Dolores and Cornelius however Samantha acted in self defense, there will be no punishment giving to her. However for the guilty party that attacked her and another student, will receive punishment,'' Lucius had interrupted the old man, ''As of today Fudge, you will not have my backing, harming an innocent you woman that did no wrong to anyone, if I catch you anywhere near my mate again you will regret it.'' Lucius had said while not leaving his mate's side, it was clear to everyone that had a brain in their skulls, one didn't have to be a genius to look at Samantha's face to see the evidence of her attack last night.

As the four re treated angry that they were showed up by a muggle born! The remaining people were getting their breathing back Harry actually stood up to the Minister of Magic! Sensing their looks, ''I took on Voldemort, and lived to tell the tale, but if I were in your shoes last night Sam, I would've done the same thing that you would've done. And besides, I am glad that you found someone that can make you happy, you like me, deserve to be happy,'' Samantha smiled and dried her eyes, ''Thank you, Harry, that means a lot to me,'' While clutching Lucius's waist but not as tight, his hands were soothing her fears away.

''What about Peppermint, Headmaster?'' The elder man had turned to her and the girl's hand, ''She is fine, Bill Weasley is tending to her needs,'' Samantha nodded 'yes' ''Was she, forced?'' Dumbledore shook his head no, she had breathed a sigh of relief, as the Headmaster handed Samantha back to Lucius, to which he had taken custody of her. Severus couldn't believe his childhood friend, after he had warned him, and now it seems that his darling daughter- Samantha has fallen under Lucius's lure- a supposed spell if you will...

As Lucius received permission to take Samantha back to their room, after breakfast in the Great Hall, no one was muttering- well not too much, but the stares and the points were ramped, Samantha had seated herself by Draco and Toni, thinking that would be safer.

After dinner Samantha was talking to Draco and Hermione soon joined the two with Toni and Sid flanking Hermione at that moment there came Harry and Krystia- who have been in a relationship during the few weeks- as Lucius came and collected Samantha, with their hands twined with the other's they had walked down his rooms for the evening... as the group watched the couple go down the hallway they knew that tomorrow Samantha would see Peppermint sometime then... wondering who had attacked the two and why?
