Draco Malfoy Book three Burning Desire #Wattys2016

Chapter five Drumstrang's and Beauxbaton's

Astoria's P.O.V

I looked around the room and saw that everyone was waiting with baited breath for Dumbledore to continue speaking then all of a sudden an awful storm started and my eyes fell on a little blond Gryffindor sitting next to Seamus Finnegan, Joesy Lupin was currently whispering something to Seamus that made him flush a brilliant red. They were the explosive couple that happens to blow up whatever class they we in. I had become close to the little blond fluff ball over the summer and we had a healthy correspondence and she considered me a sister. Then my eyes landed on Violet who was giving George loving looks and Neveah was making sexual gestures to Blaise, so all in all a normal Monday. Things were about to pick up though because the doors to the great hall opened and in walked a man with a bad limp and an automatic eye and I heard Draco cough beside me and say, "Professor Peg leg it is then" I elbowed him in the side and said, "That is one of the most famous aurors there is. That's Mad Eye Moody and he is going to be the new defense against the dark arts teacher." Draco simply rubbed his arm and continued to watch the proceedings while Blaise was stuffing his face. Dumbledore then began to speak in a thundering tone and said, "Please welcome Allistor Moody our new defense against the dark arts teacher." There was a round of applause and then silence as Argus Filtch ran up the middle isle and whispered something that brought a smile to Dumbledores face and he said, "Please welcome our first set of guests The Beauxbatons and their lovely headmistress, Madam Maxime.

The doors to the great hall swung open and in cartwheeled girls dressed in pale blue outfits their skirts were beautiful as were the little hats they wore. Little blue magical butterflies were flying around and giving a elegant air to the performance and in walked the tallest woman I had ever seen she was even taller than Hagrid. She had short brown hair and seemed to be a kind hearted woman Dumbledore took her hand and kissed it. The students took seats at different tables and after they all got settled Dumbledore began to speak again and said, "Now welcome our brothers from the north, the Drumstranges and their headmaster Igor Karkaroff." The doors swung open once again and in stormed an army of staff wielding fur clad gentlemen. Viktor Krum shot me a small smile and I felt Draco tense beside me, it looks like he's not immune to jealousy." That's when a man who I assumed to be the headmaster walked in, he had a scraggly brown beard and was dressed in fine furs. I had heard this man was a former death eater who sold out his comrades to the Munistry. That's lovely not only is he evil he's a evil coward. He took a seat by Professor Snape and then all of the Drumstangs stated picking tables.

Viktor walked right over to my table and sat right between Draco and I, Blaise got up and went to sit on the other end of the table, but who could blame him most of the table felt the anger and disgust pouring off Draco. It was quit intoxicating really. Draco was beautiful when he was in a happy and kind mood,but he was raw sexual energy when he was angry. Viktor took my hand and kissed it and said, "You are beautiful my dear vould you care to take a valk" The minute those words left his mouth all of the glasses on the table exploded, Draco was one of the few who's magic was linked directly to their emotions, so they must be in control at all times and I realized if I didn't do something quick the whole great hall might go up in angry green flames. My tone was soft and firm as I said, "I'm sorry Viktor but your a little to old for me but I think Hermione was giving you looks." I then pointed and he was off like a rocket, whew crisis averted now no one had to go to Azkaban." Draco scooted closer to me and wrapped his arms around me and said in a very gentle tone, "I'm sorry he was making you uncomfortable love, but everything is alright now." I took in the smell of the air around me and Draco alway managed to smell like a spring day combined with warm spice it seemed to warm my very soul. He then said something that caught me completely by surprise, "Love I think your my soulmate, I hope that doesn't scare you" Well my mind is now broken so I said the first thing that came to mind, "I have to use the loo."

I managed to slip out of his arms and make it out of the great hall and down a couple of corridors, I looked behind me to check if anyone was following me and there was no one, so I leaned back against the wall while my breathing and heart rate returned to normal. Draco had just said the unbelievable, I was his soulmate but how is that possible? I know Veela have human soul mates all time it is actually necessary for their existence if they don't find one by a certain age they will die. I don't think it will be life threatening for Draco though since he is only a quarter Veela. Still though to come out and talk about the most important bond takes incredible courage and devotion to the person you love. That's when it dawned on me I can't keep running forever especially if I'm his soulmate and if I am he wouldn't just toss me aside when he found out the truth would he? I have decided to give it until Christmas if he still acts totally in love with me I will tell him the truth. It was time to get back to the great hall and see what mischief the boys had gotten into while I had my break.
