Angel Breath- Ziam

1: Rejected

A/N: okay, so I've had this stuck in my head for ages now, and this entire story is complete. So I'm going to post all the chapters today. Everything will be explained in the chapter, And Enjoy!

Ps. Oh and there will be a small mention of rape, very small and the word isn't even mentioned. So yeah. Tiny warning there.

Zayn's POV
I took a deep breath as I settled into a compartment on the train. I was waiting for everyone to arrive, seeing as usual I was the first to get to the platform.

Oh, sorry forgot to introduce myself. Zayn Javaad Malik, at your service. Seventh year Slytherin at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Yep, I'm a wizard. But also I was something else, something only 7 people in the world knew.

I was an Angel.

Blessed by the Goddesses of the Moon, Earth and Magic, the small bit if Angel blood within me had matured into a full blown Angel. The second most powerful, a Cherubim. Wings, the extra abilities, everything. It was awesome, but also a huge stressful situation. You'll understand why later.

My mum didn't like the fact that I was an Angel, and had drilled into my head that I was a freak. Dad and my sisters thought it was amazing, and encouraged me to explore my abilities, but it was hard.

The only other 2 people who knew was the DADA teacher, Jasmine Lane, and my closest friend, Belle.

She was a muggleborn, but also a Slytherin. I had told her during my third year when she had caught me crying about a letter Mum had sent me. She supported me, stayed by me, and defended me. Without her, I don't know what I would have done.

"Hey Z! How was summer break?" a voice broke into my thoughts. I looked up and my heart twisted. Liam James Payne, fellow Slytherin but way too soft hearted to be they typical stereotype. Also, he was my mate.

Yeah, remember when I had said being an Angel was stressful? This was why. Liam was my best friend since our second year when I had stopped a couple of older Slytherins from bullying him. It wasn't until our 4th year when I fell in love with him, and then 5th year when I realized he was my mate. But unfortunately, as far as I knew, Liam was straight.

"Zayn, are you going to answer me or just stay and stare at me?" Liam asked and I blinked. "Oh, sorry man, I zoned out. My summer was fine, pretty dull. Just flew around some on the pitch behind my house, took care of my sisters and read a bunch of books, how about you?" I said in a rush, avoiding his eyes.

Liam opened his mouth but before he could say anything, the biggest couple in the school walked in, Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles. Louis was a Slytherin too, Harry a Gryffindor. It was a really strange relationship they had, but it was still beautiful.

"Hey lads! How was your summer?" Louis said excitedly, sitting down and pulling Harry into his lap. It was funny to see since Harry was about an inch or two taller, but it was how they worked.

I zoned out as Liam and Harry started talking about their summers, they'd voices over lapping like usual. I looked out the window to try and find Belle, wanting to tell her something. I had turned 17 the previous January, and the closer to 18 I got, the more nervous I became.

I came into my full inheritance at 16, by time I turned 17, it was telling me I needed to get with my mate. If I didn't by time I was 18, I would die.

Joyful.

Belle knew Liam was my mate, and knew that I needed to be with him. She didn't know that if I didn't get with him by time I turned 18, I would die. That wouldn't turn out so well. She would most likely flip out on Liam and he would be with me just to keep me alive, out of obligation. I wanted him to be with me because he loved me, not because of obligation. I didn't want him stuck with me, burdened down because of me.
