Flashback
Harry was very tired when he went to breakfast. His dreams had been haunted by two people, but they had been all shadowy, so he had no clue as to who it could be! As soon as he entered the Great Hall, silence fell upon everyone, as if they could feel how tense he was, and shut up. Harry went over to the Gryffindor table, sat down, and looked at the food. He wasn’t really in the mood to eat, and he’d mainly come to breakfast to spend time with Ron and Hermione.
They hadn’t been in the common room, Ron hadn’t been in the dorm and they weren’t at breakfast. Harry couldn’t help but wonder where they were. They couldn’t be in the girls’ dorms, since Ron wouldn’t be allowed in, and it was a school day, so they couldn’t have gone to Hogsmead. The only place left to look was the infirmary, but he would be late for class if he went to check.
The hall was filled with laughter and talking again, yet Harry instantly noticed someone sat down next to him. “Why aren’t you eating, Harry? Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” Harry tried to ignore Draco, but failed when Draco started caressing Harry’s arm with gentle, slow movements.
Harry moved away from Draco. “I came to find Ron and Hermione. I didn’t intend to eat any breakfast; I’m not in the mood,” he growled low at the blonde.
Draco just moved closer to Harry again. “Oh, come on, breakfast is important. Besides, on the way to breakfast I saw the weasel and the mudblood making out in an alcove. So how about you spend the time with me, instead of them? They don’t seem to care much anyway.” The whole room turned silent, the only sound heard was Harry’s hand slapping Draco; leaving a big, red mark.
Harry got up from the seat, glaring at Draco. “You will not talk like that about my friends! You only care because my inheritance gave me better looks!” With that, Harry left the Great Hall and walked towards the infirmary. He needed to get a calming draught, and he surely wouldn’t get one from Snape. Especially not after Snape saw Harry slap Draco from the head table!

Harry sat on the hospital bed. His first class had been Potions, but Poppy had demanded he stayed with her, so he had a legal excuse to avoid the dungeon. “Harry, as far as I can see from my tests, you’re not just upset. You’re also very tired and exhausted. The exhaustion is normal, since your body is getting used to the Veela genes. But haven’t you slept well lately?” she asked softly.
Harry knew she wouldn’t tell his story to anyone else, so he told her everything. About the summer, finding out about his inheritance, the Slytherins on the train, Draco’s sudden change of heart, and most importantly; the mysterious people in his dreams.
Poppy nodded in understanding, and smiled softly at him. “Well, Veelas usually dream of their future mate or mates just after they get their inheritance. From what you told me, I think they must be of the same blood, since it was one person who split up. Normally two mates are just shown as two people. When it is one person who split up, I am quite sure it means they’re family.” She looked through a cupboard and found some vials.
She gave them to Harry, and made sure he drank them. “You’ll need another Pepper-Up potion after lunch, but otherwise, you should be fine. You can stay here and rest for now. I’ll wake you so you have plenty time to get to your next class.” Harry nodded, and soon after was asleep on the bed.

Harry sat down in his usual seat in the DADA classroom. “Harry James Potter! Why weren’t you in Potions?” Harry groaned. He had forgotten Hermione would flip when she found out he wasn’t in class.
He looked up at her, and noticed Ron walked right behind her. “I was in the infirmary, which you’d have known, if you hadn’t been too busy making out with Ron.” Hermione and Ron both blushed, and Harry knew from Hermione’s confused and embarrassed expression that she would want to know where he knew it from. “Draco told me he saw you two together,” he said calmly, happy the calming draught still worked.
After hearing that, Ron got angry and took Hermione’s hand. “Draco, is it? So you leave us for that prick now? Well, since you don’t need us anymore, we might as well just go to our own seats!” Harry watched as a furious Ron dragged the equally angry girl along to the front of the class, as far from Harry as they could be in the classroom.
Draco walked in and stopped next to Harry, though he didn’t sit down. “Well, why aren’t you sitting with your friends, Harry?” Harry didn’t even respond to Draco, so Draco sat down carefully next to Harry, while the other students hurried to their own seats. “You know, I wouldn’t abandon you like that, if you accepted my friendship…” Draco carefully said, before his father walked in.
Lucius walked out in front of his desk and looked around. “I’m Lucius Malfoy. I’m the new Defence professor, and I will let you know, that I won’t accept any inappropriate actions in my classroom. Understood?” Most of the students nodded out of fear, though a few nodded out of respect. “Good. Now, I’d like everyone to take out a quill and parchment. You’re going to write a one foot essay about your three biggest fears, and how you can use them to your advantage, in case you would be set up against them in a fight or a duel, it’s good to know how to control your fear.” Everyone took out their quills and the parchment and began writing.
Draco couldn’t help but stare as Harry wrote. His movements were so soft and smooth across the paper, and his writing was clear and easily readable. Draco couldn’t help but look at Harry’s essay.
My biggest fear is to be alone, with no friends or family to rely on when I need support. Family is important, and life without a family to love and be loved by is tough, especially when your friends abandon you at the mere mention of a disliked person’s name.
Draco didn’t read any further. That small bit explained why Harry was far from his friends in class. Harry had mentioned someone the two others didn’t like, and now they had left him all alone! Draco instantly felt guilty, since he could easily figure out it was his name Harry had said.
He stopped staring at Harry, and started writing his own essay. He had to do a lot more than apologize, if he wanted a chance to befriend Harry. “Draco, Potter, will you two please stay after class?” Lucius’ voice cut through the silence smoothly, and Draco nodded instantly, while he heard Harry mutter a low ‘yes, sir’.
-#-#-#-#-
Draco watched Harry nervously. “You know, I meant what I said about friendship,” he said low, to try and get Harry’s attention.
Lucius walked over to them. “Alright, Mr. Potter, during class you practically had a dark cloud hanging over everyone. I’d like to know what made you this gloomy.” Lucius noticed his son was watching Harry closely, but didn’t say anything.
Harry looked straight into Lucius’ silvery grey eyes. “Without meaning any disrespect, sir, Draco cost me my two closest friends.” Draco bit his lower lip, his eyes silently begging his father not to ask in on it. Lucius gave Draco a look that clearly showed he wasn’t going to listen to his son’s silent pleading. He looked back at Harry, silently asking him to explain. “I wasn’t in the mood to eat breakfast, but I couldn’t find Hermione and Ron anywhere, so I thought I’d find them there. Draco came over to the Gryffindor table and started flirting with me, and then he insulted my friends. I slapped him, because I was already edgy after a night of barely any sleep, and then I left. I went to get a calming draught from Poppy, since Snape hates me and probably wouldn’t give one to me. She checked me, and let me sleep through my Potions class. When I came to your class, Hermione and Ron misunderstood me, when I told them Draco had told me he’d seen them make out in an alcove, and then they left me. It’s bad enough I’m suddenly a Veela and I know nothing about Veelas, but now I’ve lost my two closest friends as well! And to top it off, his flirting and friendship request first came after I suddenly became good-looking! How can I trust someone like that? I have no one left!” Harry’s breathing calmed down after he was done raging, and he soon after was as calm as when he came to class.
Draco stared at the ground, feeling guilty that he’d done these things, and Lucius knew his son wouldn’t let go of this easily. “Harry, did you ever consider, that maybe they aren’t good friends, if they left you and didn’t listen to your explanations? And I know being a Veela can be confusing. I’m half Veela myself, so I know exactly what you’re going through. If you would like to, I can tell you more about Veela, maybe even teach you some important things only Veelas can do? Draco is only a quarter Veela, but he still needs to learn these things as well,” he offered calmly.
Harry wasn’t happy about spending time with TWO Malfoys, but the thought of learning to use the Veela blood properly, instead of having the effects confuse him, would be great. “Okay. I just don’t know when. I’m still on the Quidditch team, so with training and homework, I don’t know how much time there will be,” Harry said nervously, hoping he wouldn’t end up missing out on something important when he was going to learn about Veelas.
Lucius stood deep in thought for a moment. “Well, I can’t take you aside during class, and it’s not correct to take you out of your other classes. How would you two feel, if we meet here at five, and then I teach you and we eat dinner here?” Harry nodded a bit. “Good. Tomorrow afternoon at five, you will come here and we’ll being. Harry, you may go. Draco, please stay here for a while, I need to talk to you.” Draco nodded, and Harry stood up and hurried from the room.
Lucius watched Harry go, and almost wished he could have kept him in the room. “It’s too early for him, isn’t it, Father? But you can feel the pull, can’t you?” Lucius nodded a bit, before turning to Draco and hugging the boy. “I never knew my school rival would turn out to be our future mate…” Draco leaned into his father’s embrace.
Lucius smiled softly. “Don’t worry. The training will help him accept the Veela blood, and once that happens, he will feel the pull just like we do. It’s going to be okay, as long as you don’t upset him. Try to befriend him. If he does not believe your motives to be good, just tell him you promised me you’d try to get along with him, to make the training easier. He has to accept that.” Draco nodded, letting a smile play on his lips. “Good. Now, you better go to the Great Hall and get some lunch. It’ll be a long time till dinner, if you don’t eat something now. I’ll see you later.” Lucius let go of the boy, but they shared a soft kiss before Draco left the classroom. Lucius exited a few minutes later, after putting the essays to be read in a neat pile on his desk.
Harry snuck out of the room, happy he had brought his invisibility cloak by accident. He hurried towards the Gryffindor dorms. He couldn’t believe what had happened. Draco and his father were mates, and they seemed convinced Harry was the missing person in their relationship. Harry suddenly remembered what madam Pomfrey had said. ‘When it is one person who split up, I am quite sure it means they’re family.’ The sentence kept running through Harry’s head.
He put his cloak away in his chest, as the meaning of the words dawned to him; he was destined to bond and have sex, not only with his school rival, but also with said rival’s father! Harry wanted to scream, but only one word passed his lips. “…fuck…”
