A/N Hey guys I am so so so sorry that I haven't been active but here is another chapter for you. I just want to say I know the birthdays are really messed up and not accurate but I kinda stuffed them up at the start so basically, it's Draco's birthday first then Harry's a week later. Okay, cool, enjoy!!!!! And again, sorry.
The next day all of Harry's friends were surprisingly cool about the whole situation. And as Pansy had said it was "Awesome."
Harry and Draco were currently sitting across from each other doing homework when Draco randomly said, "Hey Har, my inheritance is coming up."
Harry looked up and met Draco's eyes before Draco shifted his eyes back to his homework.
"Yes of course I know Dray, Veela right. Are you scared?" Harry asked placing his homework next to him and taking Draco's out of his hands and doing the same.
"A little." Draco replied quietly looking at his palms.
Harry gently grabbed his chin and tilted it up so he was looking Harry directly in the eyes and said, "Dray I will be there for you no matter what, right by your side the whole time. And nothing could keep me away."
Draco smiled slightly before replying, "Thank you Har."
"Anytime Dray," Harry replied as he let go of Draco's chin.
At that point a owl that Harry recognized to be Narcissa's pecked at the window.
"Midnight?" Draco asked as he went to let him in. The owl flew over to Harry and dropped a letter to him.
He turned it over once before opening it.
"It's from mom." Harry said absentmindedly before zoning out reading.
Once Harry finished he looked up at Draco mortified.
"What?" Draco asked concerned.
"Mom's coming!" Harry exclaimed.
"Huh?" Draco asked confused.
"Mom's coming, as in coming here! He read the letter and I quote 'No one threatens my baby like that I will come and show him a piece of my mind.'
"Shit something like this happened in primary and mom literally made the principal cry like no kidding! This is going to be a disaster!" Harry exclaimed in a rush.
Draco couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What! Dray this isn't funny!" Harry yelled.
"I'm sorry Har but it kinda is, she made your Principal cry! Omg I love your mom!" Draco said in between giggles.
Harry couldn't help but snort, "Well I guess it will be funny to see Dumbledore's face. Maybe then he will get the message not to threaten my loved ones."
"That is true, when is she coming?" Draco asked.
"Uhhhh." Harry scanned the paper again before saying, "A day after your inheritance and -"
"And what?" Draco asked curiously.
Harry then burst out laughing and pointed to a small message at the bottom of the page.
Draco snatched the paper and read aloud, "P.S Draco your Mom's coming with me seeing as it involves you too, and we expect to hear every single detail during and prior to your inheritance."
"What does that mean?" Draco asked.
Harry couldn't stop laughing and Draco was getting frustrated, "What!" Draco yelled and Harry continued laughing but tried to form a sentence. "For once I'm not the oblivious once." Harry burst out laughing even harder at that and Draco pouted.
Once Harry was finished with his fit he said, "What it means is that, they want to hear every detail of your inheritance including who you now want to claim."
Harry raised an eyebrow and Draco went bright red in the face.
"Oh." Draco simply said which made Harry laugh.
----------------------------------------------------
It was now the night of Draco's inheritance and Draco was lying on Harry's bed shaking slightly. Harry was holding his hand in support.
"Har?" Draco asked.
"Yeah, Dray?" Harry asked softly.
"I don't want any mate, I only want this one person." Draco said quietly.
Harry heart fell a little when he said these words, "Who do you want Dray, you never know you may get them." Harry said sadly.
"But Har, I don't want to live knowing they will be with someone else, I want them." Draco said looking up into Harry's eyes.
"Have you told them?" Harry asked sadly, afraid to hear the answer.
"I am now." Draco said softly and Harry looked up from his hands.
"M-Me?" Harry asked nervously.
Draco smiled slightly and nodded, "It was always you."
Harry's face broke out into a wide grin as he cupped Draco's face in his hands.
"And it will always be." Harry whispered "I am forever yours, mate or not."
Draco smiled a small affectionate smile before wincing.
"Is it starting?" Harry asked concerned.
Draco could only nod as he was trying to contain his screams.
Harry sat right next to Draco and Draco instantly curled into him.
"Shh it's okay, i'm here." Draco whimpered and Harry said, "Try get some sleep, Dray it will be all over in the morning, just sleep." Harry whispered in Draco's ear as he rubbed Draco's back, careful as he knew wings would emerge soon. "I'm not leaving Dray just try sleep." Harry whispered once again as he saw Draco falling asleep.
Harry hoped that Draco was asleep during the inheritance because he knew how painful it was suppose to be.
Once Harry was certain Draco was asleep he rolled him onto his front so there would be no problems when the wings emerged.
Harry then, grabbed Draco's hand and sat there, waiting for the night to pass.
----------------------------------------
The next morning Draco woke up to a warm body next to his. He knew before he opened his eyes that it was Harry. He couldn't help but replay the words from last night over in his head "And it will always be you, mate or not."
Harry would never fully know how much those words meant to Draco. Even if he left him alone in the dark he would get through with those words.
Harry moved slightly in his sleep and Draco gazed down at him. He felt a pull at his heart and he thought he was his mate, although he wouldn't be sure until he through his inheritance.
Thinking about inheritances Draco decided to go to the mirror to see what had changed.
He tried to move but instantly hissed in pain, withing seconds Harry was awake and jumping into action.
"What hurts, i've got a potion, here don't move." Harry rushed out.
"Harry slow down I can't understand." Draco whispered, his voice felt hoarse.
"Sev gave me a potion to give to you for the pain." Harry said as he handed Draco a bottle.
Draco opened it and sniffed it cautiously, his face scrunched up before he sculled it all and gagged.
"Ugh that's terrible." Draco exclaimed.
"But it works, you shouldn't be in pain anymore." Harry chuckled.
Draco chuckled and nodded, "Yeah I do feel better now."
"You might want to look into the mirror, a few things have changed." Harry said smiling.
Draco nodded and walked over to the mirror.
His mouth dropped as he gazed at his new appearance.
His hair was even silkier than normal, if that was even possible. His eyes were more sharp and misty than they were before, illuminating his natural mercury colored eyes. His facial features were sharp and elegant. He had big black wings that spread out around him as if protecting him, he moved them around a little and was mesmerized. They were so black and shiny it was an amazing contrast between Draco's pale features. The tips of the wings were colored a pale green. They were marvelous.
Harry wanted nothing more than to touch them, but he knew better. No matter how soft they looked they were razor sharp to anyone but Draco and his mate. And as much as Harry wanted to be him, he wasn't sure that he was, not until his inheritance at least. That is how it worked with Draco's type of Veela, they only knew for certain who their mate was if they go through their inheritance. They do feel a small pull towards them but at least Harry only had a week to wait.
He looked down right beautiful, marveled Harry.
"Woah," Breathed Draco.
"Yeah, woah." Agreed Harry quietly.
Draco turned around and smiled widely at Harry which made Harry's heart do a few flips.
"It's the day after my inheritance, do you know what that means Har?" Draco exclaimed.
Harry shook his head as he couldn't get his mind off how amazing Draco is, even after a painful inheritance he just bounced back.
"Almost time to see a certain Headmaster cry." Draco stated happily and they both burst out laughing before getting changed and running down to the Great Hall, in wait of Petunia and Narcissa.
