DRACO
The three Slytherins entered potions class with curiosity, some hoping that draco was wrong about his mate being one of the golden trio and others wondering how his mate would react when he was told. Draco reminded himself to breathe when the smell of his mate reached him, it wouldn't do him any good to try and jump his mate. He looked at the area the scent was coming from and found Potter and Weasel sitting next to each other. Hopefully he would get partnered with one of them so he could find out who it was. Draco and Blaise sat in the back of the class and waited for Snape to enter, as if on cue the door opened and silence fell upon the class. Snape walked to the front of the classand began to lecture them on the brewing of healing potions .
He began to assign groups, "Weasley, Nott Longbottom, Zabini Granger, Parkinson Potter, Malfoy..." and so on. Draco was to nervous to pay attention to the rest of the class as he approached Potter who had already began to set up the equipment. He nodded towards Blaise and stood next to Potter. The moment he did his senses were assaulted with the smell of the other boy. It was deffinitely Potter. Draconcleared his throat, "Professor Snape, I must talk to the Headmaster about an issue." He said looking the man in the eye. Snape nodded and Draco fled the room.
When he reached the statue in front of the headmaster's office he paused to compose himself, he couldn't rush in there and declare his mate was Harry Potter.
He looked at the statue before saying the password ,"Pixie sticks" Draco was curious as to what the muggle sweet tasted like since Dumbledore had changed it to his password. He shook his head and entered the oldman's office. Dumbledore was sitting at his desk when Draco enetered and the oldman offered him a smile. Draco nodded in acknowledgement.
"I have found my mate."
"I have already contacted your father an dhe is on his way."
Draco was confused, how had the oldman known he already found his mate? He hadn't told Severus and his friends wouldn't have approached the headmaster about Draco's private life. He resigned the mystery to be found out at another date when his father entered the office.
"So who is it?" he asked with a smile.
"My mate is Harry Potter."
The room was silent except for the sound of the pheonix giving a surprised chirp. "Well how about we have Severus and Harry join us?"
Lucius nodded, " it will be for the best that we tell the boy now."
"alright, I shall send for the two of them and then we shall sit down and have a talk.
HARRY
Harry had just finished making the potion Draco and him had been assigned before Severus recieved an owl. The man quickly read over it before he stood and cleared his throat. Everyone looked up to see what he had to say.
"Mr.Potter and I have been asked to go to the headmaster's office, when we return I expect all of you to be working on the potion or to be going over your notes, if not there will be...consequences..." the students shuddered at Snape's warning and quickly got to work.
Harry followed Professor Snape out of the classroom and towards the office. Snape practically growled the password which sounded a lot like pixie sticks and made Harry smile at the headmasters idea of a password. Harry breathed in and made sure he looked like what everyone assumed he was, overly confident and average intelligence. He hoped thst whatever the reason he was called to the headmaster's office that it wasn't for doing something he shouldn't have.
The first thing he noticed about the room was the two Malfoys sitting in front of the desk and Dumbledore was smiling as he looked at Harry.
"Harry, there are many things we have to discuss today but first I want to know how your summer was."
"It was alright, I helped my aunt with chores and did most of the cooking." He smiled at Dumbledore. Harry didn't blame the old man for what happened in the summer, even though he knew that Dumbledore was responsible for checking up on him.
"good to here my boy. As I have learned over the years it is better for me to not hint at the topic ofnour discussions so if you would, please sit down so we can begin."
Harry nodded and sat down in the chair to the left of Malfoy senior. The eldest Malfoy offered him a small, polite smile which Harry returned.
"Harry, Draco is a veela. I am sure that the subject of Veelas has never been touched in any of your classes so I will explain how that effects you. Veelas are magical creatures and like many magical creatures they have destined mates. You are Drcao's mate."
Harry turned his head towards Draco and looked at him for a moment, he was attractive, Harry knew that much but he acted like a total git all the time. He reminded himself that maybe Draco did it because he had to , just like he hid himself from everyone else. Harry leaned back and sighed. "So...what are we gonna do? Hermione told me that if a veela gets rejected or if there mate dies then the veela dies, and we both know I am not going to live through this war." He looked at the head master and dropped parr of his mask, the part that kept people thinking he was nothing but an idiot. "we both know Dumbledore, unless you are hiding something which is probably true, I. AM. GOING. TO. DIE."
The headmaster was no longer smiling when he stood up and walked over to Harry. "We do not know if you are going to die or not, the prophecy might not mean it that way Harry." "Neither can live while the other survives." Harry ran a hand through his hair, "we both die in the end." The headmaster mumbled something under his breath as he began to pace. Harry looked up at the oldman, waiting for him to say something. "I talked to Sirius recently, he wants to see you sometime. How about we get the two of you settled into seperate quarters and then I contact him?" Harry gave him a small smile "can Remus come too? they are together after all." Dumbledore nodded and smiled at Harry, "let's go see about your rooms, yes?" and with that, they were off.
