the veela life

Chapter 7: finding her

Hermione POV

He was staring at me again across the potions classroom. He sat next to the boy who's father once owned this room, now replaced by professor Slughorn. The buzzing in my head was mild. I sat on the table with Harry and Ron. Today we went over the ingredients of a Amortentia potion.

'Now now class.' Called Professor Slughorn getting us to settle for the lesson. 'Who remembers what a Amortenia potion is?' We went over this potion a couple years ago briefly. Before I could shoot my hand up ready to speak the answer, as I always do, another voice spoke.

'Amortentia is the most powerful love potion in the world. It is distinctive for its mother-of-pearl sheen, and steam rises from the potion in spirals. Amortentia smells different to each person, according to what attracts them-' Melvin said as I glanced at me with a smirk at the corner of his mouth, '-Amortentia is one of the most powerful love potion in existence. Despite its power, Amortentia did not create actual love; as it is impossible to manufacture or imitate love. The person under the effect of the potion would only hold an obsession for the person who administered it.'

'Very well done Mr Snape, learned from your father I presume?'

'Something like that.'

'I wonder what that means.' Harry mumbled towards me.

'Oh, well erm. 10 points to Slytherin.' Professor Slughorn turned back to face the class. 'Tomorrow you will make your own Amortentia potion. This is a very difficult potion to brew and can take a many times to perfect. This potion will be in one of your potions to brew in your final examinations NEWT. Now please turn to page 67 in the book potions by Severus Snape and examine the ingredients.'

Everyone turned to their books with slight frowns as many expected to start brewing potions today.

'So why was Melvin with you?' Harry asked as he dipped his quill into some ink.

'Oh erm, nothing much. He was in the library this morning and we walked to class together.'

'You talked right?'

'Well I guess.'

'What do you mean 'mione, you 'guess'?'

'Well we didn't talk much! Why is it any of your business!' I snapped.

'He seems interested in you, that's all.'

'What do you mean?' I asked with a subtle surprise.

'Well I dunno. He looks at you but once he notices Malfoy's glare at you and stops. Like... he knows something.'

I look over to the Slytherins and there he was looking at me and back at Malfoy who eyes where fixed upon me, his book unopened. Arms crossed leaning on the table. His stare was soft, unlike previous years where he would scowl at me. This time he looked at me differently. His shadowy eyes gazed into mine. I forced myself not to get lost into them again, preventing the buzzing in my head to get any worse. I turn back to Harry who looked at me confused.

'What?' I snapped picking up my quill.

'Nothing.' He said as we fell into silence for the reminding of the class.

'I'm going back to the library.' I said as we left the dungeons.

'Alone?' Harry asked as Ron stood next to him not looking at my direction. I looked to Ron and back to Harry. 'Yes' I said.

'Back again Miss Granger.' Said Madam Prince as I sat down at a table pulling out Magical creatures languages.

'I missed the peace and quite of this place.'

'Understandable.' She said and left putting more books away.

I open the book and sure enough it was as dusty in the inside just as much it was in the outside. I looked through the pages and found a section called Languages of Bulgaria. The second page had a small paragraph about Veela languages.

The Veela language is used to help find one another's mate. It's only used when the Veela and the mate are unconscious and not yet found each other. This language however is rare to unfounded mates. If used of this language means that the Veela and the mate have a strong love or hate relationship already.

'Love or hate relationship?' I mumbled to myself. But what could that mean?

I returned the book of magical creatures languages confused of what I had found out. Maybe I'll have another connection with them tonight?

I walked down the corridors out of the Hogwarts entrance. I didn't know where I was taking myself. I wondered around the grounds trying to clear my head without realising the time. I found myself at the black lake, alone, not a single movement from the water that rested before me. The air was colder and the light was fading. I sat on the damp grass admiring the pink and orange colours of the sky before it became a black blanket with stars that's filled the night sky.

Draco POV

I was stood in the black endless pit again. The unknown angelic voice called for me. I looked around me till I saw a speck of light in the distance. At first I hesitated to go see what it was but then voice called. Help me said the fading voice. Whoever it was they where in danger. I walked forward to the light. As I approached I saw a strip grass and a mass of water, however a bushy haired girl rested, unconscious on the strip of grass. She was peaceful but yet she called for help. I look around to see what could be the danger. CRACK. A tall black hooded figure appeared on the other side of the water.

I awoke suddenly from the unknown reality. This wasn't just a dream. I thought to myself. I grabbed my wand from my bedside table and but on my Slytherin robs. Carefully without waking up my roommates, I snuck out of the dorm running out of the common room. As the portrait closed behind me, without hesitation, I walked out of the dungeons. The doors where left open to the castle. I walked out unknowingly where to go next. Remembering the mass of water she rested by. I hurried down the the black lake.

There she was rested peacefully without, what it looked like, any danger surrounding her. The buzzing in my head was thumping louder than it has ever been before. I picked up Granger and carried her back to the castle. There was no sign of the black hooded figure insight. Maybe it was just an illusion to help me find her from the icy cold air? I carried the cold Gryffindor back into the castle making my way to madam Pomfrey. I held her in my arms protecting her.

I wanted her to know it was me, that I was her Veela, however I fear that after all these years of tormenting her she will reject me. Leaving me alone to die.
