Scars: A Dramione Veela Story

Chapter 22

Hermione's pov.

I watch as Harry collides with Draco in horror. I see him fall and I feel him hit the ground. I felt that fall, what the hell? I look at my arm and find a bruise forming there. What?

"Listen Cormac I need to go to the hospital wing." I say to him but he doesn't even listen. I step quickly through the crowd to the stairs.

"Ya ya see you later." He says watching Professor McGonagall elevated Draco on to a stretcher.

I run up to the castle cradling my arm. I burst through the hospital wing doors and stop. Madam Pomfry is tending to Draco's injuries. I walk up to her.

"How did you hurt your arm miss Granger?" She says taking it in her hands.

"I don't know, I was watching the match and when Draco fell I got a horrible pain in my chest and this bruise," I say looking for her reaction.

"Sit down please." She says taking out her wand. She heels my bruise and then looks up at me.

"Have you ever herd of veelas?" She asks calmly. What the hell was she getting at? I can't be a veela.

"Yes, but I'm not one." I say.

"Oh I know dear, but you have been chosen by mister Malfoy as his mate." She says. What? I'm Draco's mate? Madam Pomfrey leaves and I drag a chair up to Draco's bed. Is that why I felt jealousy when Draco was watching me and Cormac? But a veela and their mate only sense each other's emotions after their first kiss. Did Draco kiss me?

Just then Draco's eyes open. He blinks a few times and looks over at me.

"Why didn't you tell me you're a veela?" I ask as he sits up. His face shows surprise for a split second.

"Because you would have punched me." He says looking away. I put and arm on his shoulder and I feel him get tense.

"Hey we're friends right?" I say and he takes the hand on his shoulder and puts it in his hand.

"I accept you as my veela." I say looking at him. And I did I would learn to love him and we would grow old together. He feels so happy and I smile. It was odd but I'm not as scared as I should be.

"I do have one question though," I say rumbling my thumb on the back of his hand.

"Anything." He says smiling at me.

"When did you kiss me?" He blushes slightly and I laugh.

"When you were asleep last night." He replies.

Just then Madam Pomfrey hurries over holding a bottle of Skel-a-grow. Draco squeezes my hand looking at the bottle in distaste. I notice that he has a broken bone in the same spot I had my bruise. He lets go of my hand and takes the cup Madam Pomfrey offers him. He gulps down the wretched potion. I gasp as I get a sharp pain in my arm. He looks over at me worriedly.

"It's fine I can just feel the potion." He looks down at his now uninjured arm and sighs.

"Can I leave?" Draco asks Madam Pomfrey.

"Of course." She says walking towards her office. Draco looks back at me.

"Well now that you know about my, well our situation, do you want to talk? Umm back in the common room?" He says watching me.

"Sure," I say taking his hand and starting to lead him up to our tower.

Here I was. Friends with someone I thought was going to always be my enemy. Mated to Draco Bloody Malfoy. These were circumstances I would have to learn to live with. I know about veelas and their mates, that's how I knew I had to say I accepted him as my veela. We would have to consummate our relationship but not till right before Draco's birthday. I'm scared at what Harry Ron and even Ginny will say. But it was fine I had Draco he would always love and cherish me. I would marry him, become a Malfoy. I was scared but so happy it made up for it.
