Chapter 5

'Hi' Hermione said as she opened her apartment door.

'Hi.' Draco replied with a smile.

'Come in.' She said as she opened the door fully and welcoming him in.

'I hear you had an interesting meeting with my Father.' Draco said as he closed her front door then following her into her grey and white kitchen.

'He told you then?' She replied as she continues to cook the pasta on the hob.

'Of course he did.' Draco replied as he leant against the worktop. 'He was quite amused and impressed.'

'Impressed?' She asked raising her eyebrow.

'Apparently you are quite something. That was his words.' Draco replied with a smile. 'It takes a lot to impress my father when it comes to business and money.'

'Just doing my job.' She replied. 'Have you had dinner?'

'No.' He replied.

'Would you like some?' She asked.

'If you don't mind.' He replied.

'Is your father a Veela?' Hermione asked as she started to dish up the pasta.

'No.' He replied as he grabbed the bowl off Hermione putting it on the table. 'My mother is. It comes from the Black line.'

'But you're mother's sisters weren't Veela's were they? And Sirius wasn't.' Hermione said as she grabbed two plates.

'No. Only my mother.' He replied taking a seat at the dining room table. 'My Grandmother was a Veela. She had three daughters and my mother, the youngest child was the only Veela.'

'So your child or children could be Veela's?' Hermione asked.

'Our children could be.' Draco replied with a smirk.

Hermione coughed and took a seat opposite him at the dining room table. 'So what happens now' she asked. 'I mean between us.'

'Well I suppose we date.' He replied. 'We know we are destined to be together and know that one day we will be married but I suppose I should woo you.'

'Woo me?' She replied with a smile. 'I never thought Draco Malfoy would be wooing me.'

'Well believe it.' He replied taking hold of her hand.

Draco rubbed his thumb over the back of her hand and smiled at Hermione.

'You know at the moment we can just about manage 4 days apart. As we get to know each other and be around each other more we will have to see each other more. The connection will want us to…' he stopped staring at Hermione.

'Will want what?' She asked already knowing the answer.

'To mate, to make love, to have sex.' He replied staring into her honey eyes.

Hermione blushed and look down.

'Your parents….how long can they be apart?' she asked.

'A few nights as long as they have….as long as they have re-newed their bond.' He replied feeling slightly sick at the thought of his parents having sex.

'Have you always known you were a Veela?' Hermione asked.

'No.' he replied as he let go of her hand and reached for the bottle of wine Hermione had put out. 'I found out on my 18th birthday.'

'That must have been a shock.' She replied. 'How come you've only found out about me, about us now?'

'I believe the Veela in me awakened when I saw you on Diagon Alley about a month ago.' He replied.

'You saw me?' she asked.

'Yes.' He replied. 'You were in the bookstore. You brushed past me as you left.'

'I didn't notice you.' Hermione replied.

'You were too engrossed in your book as usual.' He replied with a chuckle.

They finished dinner and made there way into the living room. Hermione sat on the sofa and invited Draco to sit beside her.

Hermione curled her feet under her as she turned her body towards Draco. 'What do your parents think about this?' she asked.

'They're accepting of our situation.' He replied. 'They know better than anyone what it is like to be bonded.'

'I'm sure they do but they are both Pureblood. I'm not.' She replied.

'Don't you worry about that.' He replied reaching for her hand. 'Blood means nothing to me. You matter to me.'

'Are you sure?' she asked.

Draco moved towards Hermione placing his hand on her neck. He pulled her towards him and placed his lips upon hers. He kissed her passionately and lovingly.

'Did this show you that it doesn't matter to me?' he asked as he broke their kiss.

'Yes.' She whispered as she leaned in to kiss him again.
