Chapter 6
Harry was released from the Hospital Wing just before dinner, but he and Draco thought it best to go back to their room to eat, both wanting to avoid the hubbub of the other students. They already had Headmaster Dumbledore's permission to go back there to eat without the worry of being tracked down by well wishers and other's worried about why they didn't show up for the meal. Sirius joined them for dinner, wanting to spend some quality time with his Godson, and get some answers as to what was going on. When dinner was served to them, Harry asked Dobby to deliver a note to Hermione, who did so quite happily. The note simply said that he had been released, and that he and Draco decided to go to their rooms instead of eating in the Great Hall. He didn't want her to worry.
"OK, now that everyone is settled in and not in any sort of pain, can someone please explain everything to me?" Sirius asked once had had had their fill on food, an overly confused expression coming over his face. Harry and Draco looked at each other, both wondering who should be the one to tell him. Receiving a nod from Harry since he understood everything much better then Harry did, Draco was nominated to explain the ordeal to Sirius.
"Well, Mr. Black, it's like this." Taking in a deep breath, Draco steadied himself, continuing on with what he had to say. "I am a part-Veela, as you know, and they become attracted to someone by their scent. For the last few months I have felt a pull to either Harry, here, or Weasley or Granger. I couldn't tell which since they were always together, and I couldn't ever get seem to find them apart from one another. Quite annoying if you ask me." Smirking over at Harry, Draco turned back to Sirius, attempting to finish what he was trying to say. "Yesterday was my 17th birthday and I came into my inheritance. Dumbledore had the three of them come to his office since I knew it was one of the three. I sniffed Granger and Weasley and nothing, no reaction at all, meaning it was Harry that had the scent that attracted me. We spent the entire day together yesterday getting to know each other better; at best right now I'd say we have the start of a good friendship. I refuse to push him too harshly, and I will never stand to see him hurt and never will I harm him in any way. He hasn't shut me out, and that's the best I can hope for considering our history together." Getting a very serious look on his face, Draco then said, "I suggest you don't hurt him as well, otherwise it would be very bad."
"Like I would hurt my godson." Sirius replied, grinning like a Cheshire cat at Harry. Unlike Harry, Sirius knew what would happen when Harry bonded with Draco. He knew that Harry would be stronger in all aspects. He also knew this would keep him from getting hurt by people breaking his heart because they wanted "The-Boy-Who-Lived", not Harry Potter, the boy who just wanted to be loved for who he was. This way was actually ideal for Harry. Granted, he wasn't thrilled it was a Malfoy, but he knew that Malfoy was loaded, so Harry would never want, nor need, for anything. He knew that because Harry was Draco's mate, Draco would do anything for him to be happy.
Harry had just plopped down in a chair when Sirius started grinning at him. Rolling his eyes at his Godfather's childish antics, Harry said, "What Siri? You like this arrangement don't you?"
"You know Harry, you could have done a lot worse. Granted I knew his father, but from what I have seen, Draco here's on the up and up. Plus, being part-Veela, he can't harm you. I only want you safe and happy, Bambi, thats all."
"OK," Draco interrupted, "Why are you calling Harry Bambi?" Looking pointedly at Sirius.
Before anyone could say anything else there was a soft knocking at the door, and then Headmaster Dumbledore entered. "Draco, I just got word from Mr. Parkinson that Miss Parkinson will be returning this weekend. I know the situation between the two of you is odd at best, but I thought it best to warn you since it is Thursday. She should be arriving around lunchtime." Draco's face d atd at the news. Pansy, he'd forgotten all about her, well he hadn't, but he had hoped she wouldn't be coming back to Hogwarts after her brother's funeral. He had gotten killed in a raid; he was a Death Eater and had been on the wrong end of an Auror's wand. Albus smiled sadly at the boy, then bid goodnight to all and departed.
Harry watched as Draco paled, he was concerned for him. Sirius saw it as well, he watched the interaction between the two curiously, wondering how this news would go over.
"Draco," Harry cautiously started. "This isn't going to be good, is it?" Draco looked over at Harry grimacing, and shook his head in the negative.
"No it isn't. Our families had agreed a long time ago for Pansy and I to wed. Of course, there is a clause though that since I am part-Veela, that if she isn't my chosen, then the contract is void. She is not going to take this well at all. She's fairly nice once you get to know her, but she is wickedly possessive of what is "hers" and she thinks I am hers." Running his hands through his hair, Draco realized something else, causing him to cringe. "Damn, my father isn't going to take this well either, but at least he knows better then to try and take you away, but trust me when I say he will have quite a few words." Draco got up and started pacing. He stopped and eyed Sirius. "Mr. Black, if it's all right with Dumbledore would you be willing to stay here till the end of term? To help me protect Harry? I have no fear that I wouldnt' be able to handle it alone, but knowing I have some help would be very useful. Pansy and my father I can handle, it's Crabbe and Goyle I am concerned about. They are having a hard time grasping the fact that I am possessive of Harry; they can't get it through their heads. Blaise I'm not worried about. He can handle himself and now has an understanding of the situation. Worst case scenario with my father is I turn him into the ministry with proof he was on Voldemort's side. That alone will keep him at bay. So he won't be a problem." Smiling ruefully to Harry and Sirius, Draco said, "Pansy, well, her bite is much worse then her bite, however she does know a lot of curses. So I'll have to watch Harry's back." Harry meanwhile was rolling his eyes at everything the part-Veela said.
"You know, I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself. She is by no means a Voldemort; I can handle her, trust me." Draco's eyes narrowed.
"Harry I know you can handle yourself against her, but you have to remember what I am. I can't help what I am doing mostly. Not when it comes to protecting you anyway. I will do it, so you might as well get used to it." Draco then did something no one expected. He bent down and gently grabbed Harry's chin and got him to look up at him. Draco then kissed the tip of Harry's nose. Sirius smirked at the action; Draco smiled warmly at the dazed young man in front of him.
"Will you stop doing that to me, it's annoying." Harry said once he finally found his voice, trying to will the blush from his cheeks.
"Well it works, it breaks your train of thought quite effectively." Draco said with amusement clearly dancing in his voice. Harry just mock glared at him.
Harry had noticed that he liked the tiny affections Draco had shown him so far, even if they were just two small kisses. Thinking about it, Harry blushed lightly again. Harry was like all other hormonal teenagers; however with all the troubles of the Dursley's and Voldemort, he hadn't even thought of trying to start any type of relationship, it was just too dangerous. And now with being the mate-to-be of a part-Veela, Harry couldn't believe it. Harry had always thought that Draco was an attractive person, so long as he kept his mouth shut. That was before. Now, Draco was kind, and seemed genuine in his concerns for Harry's well being, both mentally and physically. Harry wasn't what one would consider 'gay'. He found both sexes attractive, making him bi-sexual. However, considering he was now a soon-to-be-mate of a part-Veela, he guessed he had better resign himself to the fact he was going to be the lifetime partner of a male. He found that this thought did not bother him as much as he thought it should.
The good thing about this was he could still have children. He was thankful for that. He wanted children, two or three if he was completely honest with himself, and if that meant he carried them, that was all the better, he'd have an even closer bond to them then a 'regular' father would. He wondered briefly what their children would look like and would they go through this inheritance thing as well. Well, there was time for that later. Right now Harry needed to figure out how he felt about the young man in the room that he was going to have around him the rest of his life, mate or not.
Harry knew that he could love Draco given time. He liked this Draco and knowing what they had learned about Veela's, well part-Veela's anyway, he knew Draco wasn't going to go back to the prat he had been before this whole thing started. There was still some more getting to know each other, but he felt comfortable enough with Draco now that they could move beyond 'friends', but not quite to 'lovers' yet. They could move into the first stage of starting a 'boyfriend/boyfriend' relationship. Coming to that decision, Harry grinned slyly inwardly and then made another command decision.
"All right, it does, but it's still annoying." Harry said as he got up. He, in turn, kissed the side of Draco's neck once, steadying himself wits has hands on Draco's shoulders. Then flashing Draco a grin, he walked over to his godfather. Draco was shocked that Harry had done such a thing. Once he had actually processed what had happened, a grin spread across his face. He went over and joined Harry and Sirius.
