Blur.

That was all Harry could see as he flew through the air, reaching for the golden snitch.

"No....not now." Harry said angrily to himself. He shook his head, keeping from blacking out. The snitch flew into his face. Harry instinctively backed up, regaining his vision temporarily.

"I've got a game to win." He muttered and flew after the snitch again as it flew off. It start flying higher and higher.

"HARRY DON'T!" He heard someone below yell, but Harry didn't care. He had it within his reach. Harry flew up higher, hand out to grab it.

"Almost.....got it..." His vision blurred again as soon as he felt the cold snitch in his hand. It's wings stopped and Harry knew it had admitted defeat to him. He steadied his broom.

"Yes....I got it." He trailed off as his eyes rolled to the back of his head, and he felt himself falling.

'No.....not like this.' Was his last thought until everything went black.

"Madeline! Please, you must listen-"

"I have Albus, but what happens will happen."

"You don't understand, he will kill you-"

"Albus, you have been a fair and great friend to me, please, if you don't trust him, at least trust me."

"......alright....but please be careful."

"I will."

Harry opened his eyes to meet complete darkness.

'Wha-' he heard a snarl. He felt a light feather fall onto his face and he moved his arm to move it off. As he lifted his hand, he found a muscular stomach, hidden in what felt like wool. The touch seemed to have startled whatever was hanging over him and caused it to move slightly. Draco's face appeared in the darkness, his eyes silver.

".....Draco?" He asked. Draco growled lightly. In the dark, Harry could see a row of pearly white fangs standing out in the darkness, causing Harry to feel uneasy. Draco moved slightly and more feathers fell.

Harry was inside Draco's wings.

Great.

"Draco....its you isn't it?" Draco growled again slightly.

"Stop talking." He said in a growl like voice. Harry was taken aback.

"Harry!" Someone called his name from beyond the wings. It was Hagrid.

"Hagrid?" Harry asked confused.

"Harry can you hear me? If so, listen! You need to show Malfoy you are unharmed. He is in full veela form and will kill any of us that approach. You need to calm him down!" Hagrid yelled.

'What? Full veela form?' Harry looked confused, then looked back into the eyes of veela Draco.

".....Draco, I'm fine. I'm not hurt anywhere, I promise." Draco snarled, which startled Harry.

"You fool! If I did not catch you when I did, you would've been dead!" Draco roared.

Harry felt very frightened, but also felt a sense of relief and guilt.

"I'm sorry....I just wanted to win..." He muttered.

"You risked your life for a game!?!" Draco snarled. Harry felt defensive.

"Why do you care, we are strangers remember!" Harry argued back. Draco growled, which made Harry remember the situation.

"Look, I'm fine. I'm not dead. And I would prefer it if you let me go so we can talk like normal people." Harry said with a glare.

Draco leaned into Harry, sniffing his neck.

"Wha-" Harry blushed. Draco did a throaty laugh. He sighed in relief, laying his head in Harry's neck.

"I'm glad you're okay." He said quietly. Harry blushed harder. Draco's wings expanded, exposing Harry and him to the sun's rays and the concerned faces of the students and teachers around.

"Harry!" The twins called running towards him. They were stopped by professor Dumbledoor.

"Not yet." He said sternly, keeping his eyes on Harry and Draco. Professor snape carefully approached them.

"Draco.....must allow mister Potter to rest." Draco did an agreeable growled.

Draco lifted his head. His eyes back to normal, which made Harry assume so we're his teeth. He stood up and picked Harry up.

"Hey!" Harry exclaimed embarrassed.

"Let him carry you mister potter, unless you prefer him to have you in his wings." Snape said.

Harry blushed harder and shook his head, feeling Draco tighten his grip.

"Let us head to professor Dumbledoor's office, Harry can rest there, and we may explain your odd behavior." Snape said to Draco.

"You e really done it this time Draco, you can not wipe out everyone's memory." Snape said quietly to Draco as they walked.

'Wipe memory?'

"I'm sorry professor, Draco, what is going on? What are you?" He directed his question to Draco. Draco looked at Harry as he walked.

"I've told you, I'm a veela. And you are my mate."

'Mate? Oh what did I get myself into this year.'
