Flashback

Harry was very eager about the lecture. He was almost too excited to eat, but luckily Draco made Harry eat, by saying they wouldn’t even hug for a week if Harry didn’t eat. Harry had pouted for about fifteen seconds, before he was overjoyed about the upcoming lecture again. He was a Veela, but he barely knew anything about the things that came along with such inheritances.

Draco noticed Harry was off in his own world again, and calmly shook Harry’s shoulder. “Hey, can’t you wait with the daydreaming? After breakfast, we’ll only have ten minutes before the lecture starts,” he said softly, when Harry came out of the daze.

Harry smiled and kissed Draco softly. Draco dove into the kiss eagerly, when he tasted the remaining taste of syrup on Harry’s lips. Draco hadn’t found anything yet sweeter than Harry, but he enjoyed adding sweet things to Harry’s intoxicating taste.

It didn’t take long before students started leaving the tables, to get the last things done before the lecture. Many students were already sitting with their things ready, so they could leave for Hogsmeade as soon as lunch was done.

Draco watched calmly, as several students from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw were squealing about all the things they wanted or needed from the small village. It didn’t take long before the Great Hall was almost empty. A few Gryffindors and Slytherins were left only, and Draco kept an eye on the lions, just in case Dumbledore had gotten to them again.

Harry cuddled up in Draco’s arms while Lucius walked out on the temporary stage. Everyone was whispering, since a few aurors were present in the room, as well as the Minister of Magic, who was sitting in one of the seats at the teachers’ table.

Lucius looked around with his usual expressionless mask on, and the entire hall silenced quickly, except for a few whispers here and there. “Are any students missing?” Everyone looked around, but when no one answered, it was clear everyone was there, like they were supposed to be. “Very well,” Lucius said calmly. “Now, this lecture on magical creatures, their bonds and consequences on breaking said bonds, was approved from the Ministry, which is why the Minister is here today.” Lucius nodded respectfully towards the Minister, who stood up and smiled to the students. He quickly sat down again, and Lucius continued speaking. “Now, it’s a very big neglect, to find out that only those with magical creatures in their blood or their families know of these things, so I took it upon myself to tell you about these things. How many in here know of these things?” He watched as hands came up, mainly from the Slytherin table, but a few hands came up at the three other tables as well.

He wasn’t surprised. Slytherins were known to be very proud of their pure blood, which included all creature blood in their families, and to avoid bad behavior, Slytherins learned at an early age to respect the creature blood, as well as the consequences, if you didn’t show proper respect in correct situations. “This is very disappointing, I must say,” he said loudly. “After so many years of saying Slytherins are the black sheep, we just found out they at least teach their children vital information, to be used later in life.” Several students from the non-Slytherin tables started complaining about the lecture, since Lucius was merely insulting the other houses. “Now, now, don’t start a debate on house rivalry,” he said loudly, making the whole room turn silent again. “Not many of you know this, but pure blood is very hard to find, and sometimes, creature blood is tricked with potions, so the creature thinks their arranged bride or groom is their soulmate, so they will marry into a pureblood family, which makes the bloodline continue as a pure line. This has happened a lot in the Malfoy line, and even though it may sound like the creature will be okay, I can assure you it is a horrible experience when the creature blood is no longer tied to the fake soulmate. My father arranged my marriage, and since my mother was a Veela, they used potions to trick me into the marriage. Until my wife died, the potion bound us to each other, but when she was gone, I was freed from it. All the years of pain from not finding my true mate came back to me, and to all students with creature inheritances, I’d like to suggest you do not accept arranged marriages. The pain is worse than the Cruciatus curse, which says a lot.” Lucius’ words faded when a student raised a hand. He pointed at the student with his cane. “You have a question?” he asked calmly.

The student stood up. “Yes, sir, I do. I was wondering about what you said, and without meaning any disrespect, I’d like to know why you’re not in pain now, even though you said your wife is dead, and you don’t have a new person at your side?” The student sat down after finishing the question.

Lucius smiled softly, which surprised several people in the hall. “Well, that’s a good question. And if you are a bit patient, I’ll answer it quite soon. Now, sometimes the creature blood is tricked before they have a destined mate, which means their blood will seek a new, young mate, as soon as the mate is gone, which is why some soulmates may be so different in age, that they could be parent and child. An important thing to remember is that no matter what anyone says, your soulmate is the only one who can truly perfect you. And it’s actually very common to see, that many people with creature blood do not feel their mate, because they’re of the same bloodline. Since the love is already there as family love, the bond of mates is unnoticed, and the two people won’t notice they belong together. It’s often seen with parents and children or siblings, though it’s most commonly seen with twins.” He walked over to the small table set up with a jug of water and a cup already filled with water as well.

He took a small mouthful, and continued the lecture. “Now, a mating bond between people of the same bloodline is often looked down upon, which is quite ridiculous, since most of you have relatives in this room, who you never even knew you were related to. Sometimes it’s all on purpose though. If, for example, your mate is first born twenty years after you, then that means you’ll have twenty long years of pain, which will kill you or drive you insane, which will then happen to your mate as well, since they’re lacking their mate, just like you did. For these things, fate seems to make sure you get potion-bound to the fake mate, so you survive until your real mate can take their place. Sometimes the fake mate dies, sometimes they divorce, and at other times, the fake bond just shatters when the creature meets his or her true mate, forcing the first wife or husband to get the role as a mistress.” Lucius tapped his cane against the floor, and Draco got up and led Harry up to the stage.

Harry’s confusion was clear on his face, which made a few giggles appear throughout the Hall. “Thank you, Draco,” Lucius said calmly. “As you have seen recently, Harry and Draco are very close. This is because they’re both part Veela, as well as they are mates. Now, how many in here knew they were together because they are mates?” A few Slytherins raised their hands. “Alright, then how many of you knew there is a third part in their bond?” The room was deadly silent after that.

Harry couldn’t help giggling when Draco nipped along his neck. “Draco, please wait with that. It’s not why you’re here.” Draco hugged Harry, so the raven haired boy’s back was against his chest, but he didn’t tease the younger boy any more. “Now, Draco and Harry are both strong, and since Harry is one of the strongest wizards we know of, since he is said to be You-Know-Who’s equal, it’s almost obvious that he’s bound to have two mates. This brings us back to the bond in bloodlines, since I am very proud to say I am the third part in the couple.” Gasps and outraged whispers spread in the Great Hall, and Lucius calmly waited for silence again.

He tapped his cane against the floor to get the attention back from the students. “Silence!” he exclaimed. “The lecture is not over yet! Now, when my wife died at You-Know-Who’s hand, I was lucky enough to manage to get home before the bond properly snapped. Since I had suppressed the search of my true mate for so long because of the potion, I was quite ill for a long time. When Draco got his inheritance early, like all Malfoys, who get them before they start Hogwarts, he was very proud of himself, and since he grew up learning that he was part Veela, he quickly accepted the Veela blood. Since I had been held back with the potion, my bond with Draco hadn’t progressed as it should, since the potion affected me to be more calm and cold, as all Malfoys are known to be. We never got the proper family bond, so when the potion’s effect was gone, as well as Draco had his inheritance, we both felt the bond. Draco and I spend a lot of time together, and even though I told him what the bond meant, we both felt something was missing. When Draco told me he had been drawn to Harry at the train, I knew we had found what we missed. But since Harry never heard about these things before, we did our best to let him get used to the Veela blood first. Draco wasn’t very good at staying away, as you can also see now. The teenager hormones often get the better of people when it comes to their mate. Draco, will you please tell everyone what consequences there are, when people try to break up destined mates?” Lucius smiled towards his son, who let go of Harry and stepped forth.

Lucius stepped a bit back, and Harry snuggled into the older man’s arms, while Draco spoke. “A Veela is allowed to kill a person who tries to harm the Veela, the destined mate or the bond, and no one can press charges. If a Veela is merciful, the person may survive and get a trial and prison instead, though I’d like everyone to know that’s not the case for our family. Malfoys are known to be very protective of their possessions, and that is something I’d like to confirm. We Malfoys do not like when something or someone we consider ours is harmed. And we have clear proof that someone within this room has tried to break our bond. This person did not only try to break a magical bond, but he actually used spells to make people try to do it for him. Madam Pomfrey easily confirmed this, when we brought Harry in for a check, and found his most independent and usable magic sources were blocked. So now, with the Minister as witness, I accuse Albus Dumbledore of mistreating a child, abusing his power as Headmaster, trying to break a Veela bond, and worst of all, use of an illegal curse, that could have killed Harry, if we hadn’t brought him to Poppy.” Outraged whispers started spreading among the students, and soon after the entire hall filled with yelling and protests.

Dumbledore was as calm as ever, and everyone thought he was innocent. After all, it was a Slytherin who was accusing the headmaster! Several students yelled that Draco was lying, and that Harry was the only one to tell them the truth.

Harry broke out of Lucius’ embrace, and stepped forward, and everyone thought he was going to defend the headmaster, so they cheered. They all went quiet when Harry spoke, to hear what he had to say. “I know you all find it hard to believe, that Dumbledore could do anything wrong, and so did I for the longest time. Before I got my inheritance, I followed him blindly, thinking he could do no wrong, but I was wrong. Draco was being nice to me, but since I didn’t feel the bond, I thought it was a trap, so I stayed away. When my friends abandoned me because of some spell Dumbledore had put on them, I was welcomed by the snakes, since Dumbledore hadn’t put any spells on them. He hadn’t thought I’d even consider befriending the snakes, which was another reason I got closer to Draco.” Harry looked at the time. “I think we should end the lecture soon. This is a lot of information to take in. But before we go, I’d like everyone to learn one last thing; though I suggest those of weak minds or hearts should leave right now and first come back for lunch…” Harry took a calming breath, while he watched some students leave.

When the doors closed, he closed his eyes. After his magic had been opened to free use, he had found out some of the things he had had trouble with earlier on, actually was natural talents within his magic. He captured every single mind in the big room with his own, and he easily recalled the memories and the feelings of his most hurtful memories. He made sure to tone down the emotions, since he didn’t want anyone to get hurt because of his memories. When he finally released all the people in the hall, he noticed many of the students were trembling, and several girls were even crying a bit.

Draco was about to wrap his arms around Harry as support him, when the younger boy fell to his knees, crying out in pain. The entire Hall stared in shock, as his hands pressed to his scar. He fell to the ground, and Lucius instantly noticed the reaction he’d seen so often when the Dark Lord had used Crucio. Harry was crying and screaming for several long, agonizing minutes, before he finally passed out. Lucius picked up Harry, and started walking towards the doors, hurrying to the Hospital Wing with the unconscious boy.
