Draco stretched out, breathing in the warm scented air enveloping him and then stiffened, his arm having come in to contact with something else, another soft warm body lying next to him in bed. Opening one eye experimentally it all came flooding back to him, the events of the previous night, his confession, her coming to him, understanding him, how beautiful she had looked framed in the doorway, the starlight making her glow.
He grinned to himself and reached out, pulling her close to him again. She grumbled under her breath at the unexpected movement and he chuckled. The feeling of having her in his arms was indescribable, even if this was all they did, just lay together, he felt like could be endlessly happy. Well, he hoped it wasn’t all they’d ever do, he had high hopes for the curvaceous beauty who made him harden with her every breath!

The next day seemed ordinary yet at the same time everything had changed. Everyone’s smiles were a little brighter, their laughter a little louder. Narcissa took Thea outside after breakfast claiming she had things to discuss with her and so Draco and Blaise took off to Diagon Alley for some much needed shopping, after all, the latest broomstick was due in any day now!

“So my dear, anything you’d like to tell me?” Narcissa’s soft musical voice filled the room, laughter underlying her serious tone.
“Ermm…well…Narcissa….” Thea stuttered, blushing under the gaze of the aristocratic woman before her.
“Cissa, please. And relax my child! I know, we all know!”
“What?” Thea blurted out, shock evident on her face, “how do you know?”
“Draco came to tell us this morning” the older woman smiled down at her.
“Oh Gods….” She moaned with embarrassment, reminding herself that she would need to hex Draco later for putting her through this.
“Oh Thea don’t worry, Lucius and I, we could not be more thrilled! And it’s not like we didn’t see it coming anyway, even if Draco hadn’t been a Veela, the chemistry between you was almost visible. Alonzo and Elenora agree, they’re only disappointed you didn’t turn out to be Blaise’s mate instead!” her light tinkling laugh not quite removing the slightly smug pleased expression from her face.
“Wait, Blaise is a Veela too? I thought they were all pale” Thea’s head was spinning, just living her new life was practically teaching her more than her books ever had done in the past.
Cissa mused a little over this statememt, “well they are in general but there are always exceptions to the rule, Elenora’s Latin heritage as well as that of Alonzo’s own mother seems to have reigned dominant over their genes, but I remember Alonzo’s father was as light as my Lucius, almost translucent in fact he was!”
“Now,” she continued, “I expect you have a million and one questions to ask about Veela’s and their mates so I suggest you spend some time in the library was Draco and Blaise are out today, I have separated off my own private collection for you to peruse at your leisure. It contains the usual factual books dedicated to Veelas and then some more personal diaries belonging to some of Lucius’ ancestors, so you may gain insight from the life of both a Veela and his mate yourself. Naturally if you have any further questions you may come to myself or Elenora and we would be glad to help you, you might even persuade Lucius to give up a few of his secrets!” she ended with a merry laugh.
“Now, off you go, go study to your heart’s content and I shall see you later!”

As Thea went off to study, Blaise and Draco were mooching around Diagon Alley. Having discovered the broom they were both coveting had not yet been delivered they decided to spend some time just window shopping, they knew Cissa was back at the Manor talking to Thea about the night’s events and neither of them had any desire to get involved with their ‘girl time’.
“So mate, you finally did it huh? Got the girl!” Blaise nudged Draco’s shoulder playfully
Draco couldn’t keep the grin from spreading across his face at Blaise’s words.
“So err, did you get anywhere then” Blaise wiggled his eyebrows suggestively at him, laughing at the look at shock mingled with anger that was lighting Draco’s face.
Draco punched him on the arm and felt pleasure at watching his friend stumble away but couldn’t stop a little laughter escaping either.
“No, I don’t want to rush her, she seems… I don’t know man, she seems pure, virginal even..” he hardened at the thought of this, his inner Veela cheering that he would be the only man Thea ever knew.
“Well, I suppose if we don’t know anything of her life before then we won’t know…she might have had a boyfriend before, do you ever think about who she was? Blaise said casually
Draco stopped, pausing for a minute as he pondered this. He did think about who she had been, it was a thought that crossed his mind almost every day. He spent his spare moments trying to piece things together, anything Thea might have done or said that would link her to her past life, whilst at the same time going through the muggle born girls in his year. Of course what if she hadn’t been in his year…Merlin he hoped she had been, he wasn’t sure he could stomach the thought of her being several years younger than him. She looked about his age he thought, maybe a little bit younger. He would have to ask.
A quiet high pitched noise brought him out of his reverie. A tiny soft grey kitten was rubbing against his legs, mewing up at him, its light blue eyes staring into his own grey ones. Bending down he picked it up and held it to him as it nestled into his chest, much like Thea had done that very morning.
“Where have you come from little one?” he asked it, not expecting a reply, “who do you belong to?”
He ran an ownership charm over the tiny creature but nothing came up. It was a stray, he looked at it worriedly, unsure of what to do.
“Mate, what are you doing with that thing? Put it down and we can go home” Blaise said, almost incredulously, the sight of the tall muscular blond clutching a tiny kitten not one he could quite believe.
“I can’t leave it here” Draco protested, “it’s on its own! How will it eat? Where will it live?”
“Mate, it’s a bloody cat” Blaise’s incredulity growing by the second.
“Nope, it’s coming home with us, besides, Thea might like it as a gift” Draco wrapped his cloak around the creature, allowing it to burrow down into the folds.
“Draco Malfoy, if I didn’t know better I’d say you were going soft” Blaise snorted, and with that they turned on the spot and apparated back to the Manor.
