Chapter 1
When Harry came back to life after being AK for the second time he felt different, he didn’t know how he just knew that something was wrong about him but at the same time it seemed ever so right like it had always been there. However, nothing seemed physically wrong he didn’t lose or gain any appendages and his magic was still pulsing vibrantly. It wasn’t until later that he realised what it was. 2 months into rebuilding the castle and not to long before the start of term Harry couldn’t sleep he’d spent the last few nights tossing and turning getting less sleep each day until he felt it something big was going to happen tonight and he didn’t stand a chance of stopping it. Just after midnight a fire burnt through his veins burning through him making more room for itself as it filled him. Un known to Harry in his now unconscious state his screams of pain had attracted the attention of Ron who was sleeping in the bed across from him whilst the worked on the school. Ron unable to wake him sent a patronus to hermione who ran in only a few moments later her curly hair frizzed out liked she’d been electrocuted. When both tried to wake Harry they sat back feeling helpless as to what they could do, a few minutes later they didn’t have to wonder any more as two ebony black wings torn out of his back shredding through the old shirt he was wearing and wrapped around him protectively blood covering both his back and the newly formed wings. Hermione realised that this new development made Harry a veela rather quickly but she didn’t understand how because none of his family were even known to have any form or creature inheritance.
The next morning Harry was shocked by the new development he didn’t even know what a creature inheritance was until know let alone how he was one however he didn’t overly mind because it just felt right. It felt like this was how he was meant to be and he thought back to how he’d been feeling after he died and realised that this was how he was meant to be this was what was right for him. That day Harry spent all day in the library, hermione and Ron stayed for a few hours before making the most of being able to leave the castle freely and going to hogs Meade for a date. He leant a lot that day about who he was and that he also had a mate which explained the giant hole he felt in his chest as if something had been stolen from him. After he recognised that feeling the Veela in him started screaming trying to force him to go find the one who is theirs before others could claim them. He managed to bribe the voice saying that he needed to learn more about who they were and what they could do so that they could prove themselves to their mate and make them want to be his. Who knew that’s what it took to calm it, through it still sat there, crying pitifully for their mate not allowing him to forget for even a second the promise that he had made.
By the end of that week everyone was returning back to the castle some didn’t return as the castle held to many memories of those they had lost and instead accepted job offers going straight into work. The castle was still full of life with the new first years as well as the returning eight years, so much so that it was decided that all eight years would share a tower to promote inner house unity. Instead of being in dorms rooms were shared and males couldn’t get into the female dorms just like any other set dorms however there was one slight change that was made by the head mistress hermione alone was allowed into the male dorms because of the nightmares the three shared and how she was one the few smart enough to help with the Veela. No one was to know of this though as bias would be called.
Everything was going well until the night of the welcome feast with all the returning eigth years sharing a table. It was then that Draco malfoy himself walked in none of his usual confidence about him that the golden trio realised they were going to have a problem. As Draco walked into the hall Harry was talking to the others however when he realised Draco Hermione and Ron both noticed Harry’s fingers turning to claws and the small growl of ‘mate’ that followed before they all bolted upright and grabbed Harry’s arms with a vice grip as they practically dragged him out the hall.
Unknowingly leaving a whining Draco behind as he felt his mate abandon him.
