Chapter 36:

Daphne's father, Paul Greengrass sends an owl to Mars, requesting a meeting with him. The next day Mars and Enyo sit down with the imposing wizard.

"What can my wife and I do for you, Mr. Greengrass?"

"I've come to talk to you about young Draco's behavior towards my daughter. I would like to know what you plan to do about it." The large graying man folds his hands into his lap, thinking that he has the upper hand. If he could get one of their sons for his girls he would be happy. Think of the opportunities; say over any of their dealings in the wizarding world.

"I hope Daphne is getting better, Mr. Greengrass. As to Draco's behavior; he has shown nothing but the utmost respect for her while she stayed here. I observed them in school and even though they wind up sitting next to each other a few times in the hall and during classes, he has never sought her out. Daphne was asked here to stay as a friend to Hermione. They did dance together twice at the Halloween dance because of a class project. He accompanied her to the club because they knew each other from school."

"Astoria told me that they were intimate all this year. That Daph spent time in his room here unaccompanied. " Paul sputtered.

"Astoria has been chasing after both of my sons and my nephew all semester, like a dog in heat. I actually heard her plotting to slip them laced chocolates with the Parkinson girl. Pansy on the other hand, wised up and realized that she wanted them as friends more than as boyfriends." Mars raged.

"Draco is a Veela, we are still trying to find out who the poor boy's mate is. He hasn't had his dream yet. He is completely off society's radar until he mates. He and his brother are screened for potions and curses, at least twice a week." Enyo explains.

The shrewd glint of greed fades as she continues. It then hits her why he's there, to blackmail them into a match between one of his girls and their son. "As much time your two girls spent either talking to or stalking Draco, he would've figured out if either of them is his mate. Another thing, if there were a marriage between any of your girls and our son. Your family would need to swear allegiance to the Houses of Black, Potter and Mars, seeing as the House of Malfoy is under the House Black and Potter is Black's biggest ally. "

Paul Greengrass was at a loss, he could not go against the other first families because of the pact. With James and Sirius back, Potter and Black are back in charge. If they are allied then he would have no say in anything if his girls were married off to them.

Dobby pops into the office. "Dobby is sorry to interrupt Lady Mars, but your grandmother is here with your aunt Katie?" The elf sounded confused delivering the message.

"Please excuse me." Enyo ducks out of the room to greet her aunt.

Katie Gardner was the daughter of the goddess Demeter. She had sable brown waist length hair that was slightly curled at the ends. Her slim figure was clad in stonewashed skinny jeans and a Camp Half-blood tee. The young woman's wheat colored eyes took in everything around her. They finally rested on Enyo. The older woman liked to tease her, calling her Aunt Katie, which in truth she was, even if she was eons younger.

"Krustalos, I brought Katie here because she had a visit from the Oracle." Demeter stated. She hoped that if she went along with it this time, she would have a better relationship with this daughter.

"What did Rachel have to say?"

"I am to meet my soul mate here. I figure you might be able to help, if not Apollo's here to explain what he meant." Katie sighed.

'Hmm. Maybe that's why Drake hasn't mated. Katie is intelligent, kind and outspoken. Just like his brothers' mates. Even Luna fits the bill.' If she wasn't a daughter of the harvest goddess, Enyo would've sworn that Katie was Athena's.

"Well then, let's get you to your room. Come here, I need to sort you into a house." Katie walks up to her and stops when Enyo says to.

"Katie when you get to school, you will be in the Ravenclaw house. They are known for their intelligence."

"KATIE!" Clarisse screams as she runs to one of her oldest friends.

"RISS" Katie jumps up and down with the girl. The rest of the "kids" come running at the sound of the girl's screams. They slide into the room wands drawn.

"Enyo aside from the prophecy she also needed to be near her friends again. She hasn't admitted it to me but she has been having nightmares about the war. I was hoping that being with "Riss" would help. I know she will end up being in another war here but, so aren't the others." Demeter looks over to her daughter being hugged by her friends. Katie and Clarisse are both in tears. Yes, this was the right idea.

Draco opens his eyes to see Harry and Hermione asleep by his bed. "Guys what's going on?" He manages to wheeze before his body is wracked with pain. Harry runs to get Apollo while Hermione holds onto Draco's hand.

The god of medicine runs in and runs a hand down his nephew's torso. "It's the rapid withdrawal method. Drake was given some dangerous potions. One to fool his senses and an amortentia type love potion. He will need to rest for the day.

Miss Greengrass was and is not his mate. He will still need to keep looking. Now that his Veela is stronger and has more control, it should be easier for him to find said mate. I am sorry Draco." The healer leaves after patting the young man's hand.

Draco waits until he leaves before breaking down. Hermione has never seen him this way. "Draco, you need to rest, your mother is talking with Mr. Greengrass right now. Apparently Daphne was imperised to act like your mate. Mr. Greengrass said that they still want to be on the light side. Daphne is in St. Mungo's to fight off the curse. She is really a nice girl. Her sister on the other hand, was polyjuiced the other night to be her. Apparently, Astoria was under the impression that you and Daphne were intimate, she was hoping for some action with you," She pats his hand. "Bella is also going to finally tell us what our call signs are obviously yours is Dragon and I'm Brains." They chuckle at the names.

"I'll be down a little later, 'Mione. Thank you for telling me the truth and for sitting with me." She smiles at him. "I have to be nice to you; you're my brother in law, as well as being my uncle."

"What?"

"My mother was Snape's little sister. Remus is my father." Hermione grins at him with a crazy look in her eyes. "Hmm, Uncle Draco, that does have a ring to it. Don't worry I think it's weird too. I can't do that, it would mean thinking of my husband as my uncle also." She shudders at the thought.
