Scars: A Dramione Veela Story

Chapter 31

Draco's pov.

Two fortnights later Halloween had come and gone and frost had begun to form on the grounds. Blaise and Pansy had gotten engaged and we're going to be married at the end of the school year. Hermione and I spent much of our time reading by the fire of talking. Ginny had grown softer on the idea of us dating and had even once said that we made a cute couple. Her and I were on first name basis now and I would count her a friend.

Late one night when Hermione was doing homework and I reading 'The way wizards's wands work' when there was a knock on the portrait hole. Hermione made to stand but I nod to her and she continues to work. I open the portrait and a bedraggled Ginny steps in.

"Draco run they're out for blood!" She gasps at me. Hermione stands and walks over.

"Who?" I ask.

"Harry and Ron. I might have accidentally let it slip that you and Hermione kissed." I look at her dumbfounded.

"Why did you do that?" Hermione asks her.

"They were talking about how many people they've snogged and then were trying to figure out how many you have. I corrected them when they guessed two. Then the asked me to list them all and without thinking I listed Draco! They're super mad so Draco you need to run." She says hurriedly. I look at Hermione, where was I supposed to run?

There's another knock at the hole and Hermione and Ginny both start pushing me up the stairs. I run up and lock my door. With my veela hearing it's not hard to hear the conversation.

"Where is the ferret?" Weasley asks.

"Not here." Hermione retorts.

"Then where?" Potter yells.

"I don't know, why do you two want him?" Hermione asks.

"Because he kissed you." Weasley yells.

"He didn't kiss me. I kissed him." I wish I could see their dumbfounded faces.

"Are you sure he's not here?" Potter asks.

"Yes." Hermione says.

"Malfoy I challenge you to a duel. Winner gets to date Hermione." Weasley yells up the stairs at me.

"Ron you hardly get to chose who I date!" Hermione screams at him. I stand unlock my door and step out into the balcony. All their gazes fall upon me. I start to walk down the stairs.

"Why would I fight for something that I already have?" I say smirking to Weasley. He looks at me then back at Hermione.

"You're dating him?" Potter asks mouth wide open.

"Yes." Says Hermione proudly.

"That's not even the whole story." Ginny says quietly but everyone still hears her.

"I'm a veela and Hermione is my mate." I say. Hermione walks over to me and places her hand firmly in mine.

"A lot of people say that when you get into a relationship you lose two close friends but I would hate to lose either of you." She says boldly. They look at her then me then our clasped hands.

Weasley walks up to me and punches me right in the side of the face. I stumble backwards and hear Hermione scream. I blink several times then rush over to her. I put my hand on the place Weasley had punched me and instantly see she feels better. Then turn and stare daggers at Weasley.

"Why are you so freaking stupid? If I get hurt Hermione feels pain." I say still holding her tight to my side.

"I didn't know I'm sorry Herms." He says making to touch her but I pull her behind me away from his outstretched hands.

"What the fuck?" Ron says.

"Draco and I get pain when I guy touches me or a girl touches him." Hermione says still hugging me.

"Well this has been fun Ron Ginny Hermione let's go." Says Harry.

"See you in a little bit, this is going to require some explaining." She leans in a kisses me on the cheek before stepping through the portrait hole with her friends.
