Veela Ties (Harry Potter x OC x Draco Malfoy)

Part 8

"HARRY!" I shoot out of bed and run into my sister's room.

In her bed, she is thrashing and crying. Running over, I jump on the bed and grasp my hands in her arms. Shaking her she eventually wakes up and stares at me.

"Harry!?" She whimpers and I have a pretty good idea what the nightmare was about.

"Hey, sshh, sshh. It is okay. I am right here, you are safe." Her eyes move to the side and I turn to see Draco on the door frame with worry in his eyes.

"Are we blood-related? Harry, are we really siblings?" I frown and sigh in my mind. I knew that the dream is going to return eventually.

"Yes, we really are siblings. You are a potter just like me. Sshhh, calm down. it was only a dream." I slide beside her and hold her head to my chest, arm wrapped around her back, and lean slowly back on the pillows.

I feel a spot on my shirt get damp and I knew she was crying. Lillian always had this dream and it never leaves no matter what. It takes a whole night and day for her to snap out of this fear. I wonder what happened when she was gone all these years. Who consoled her? Did she even have these dreams?

"You are safe. I am here, sshh." I whisper to her feeling her weight grow heavy due to falling asleep. Draco enters the room and sits on the end of the bed, he lays a hand on her leg and rubs the area with his thumb. Lillian calms down and she is in peaceful slumber.

"What was that about?" I notice Draco and my wings are out. Our veela instincts got too hyped up that we got into veela defense mode.

"Since ever Lillian has had a constant fear of being alone. She always fears she will wake up and she doesn't have any siblings or family. I don't know where she got that but it has been plaguing her for all these years. We tried madame Pomfrey to get rid of the nightmares or even the fear but it didn't work." I lay my head on hers and relax.

"And does she have these nightmares when you lay here with her?" Draco asks laying down and placing his head on her hip, an arm behind her and his wings slowly return to his back. So did mine which allows me to lean back some more.

"Yes, some of the time but there still are episodes where she would thrash and nearly punch me in the face if I wasn't such a light sleeper," I recall her kicking and punching once or twice when we were little.

"Hm, that is tough." I nod and silence befalls us. It is peaceful that we soon close our eyes and fall back to sleep.

The next morning, I wake up to see Draco's head lying on my stomach and body between my legs, and Lillian's head on my chest with my arms still wrapped around her. Both are sound asleep making me smile. To think my school rival is sleeping with me and my sister. The weird things mate love can do.

Did I just say that? Love? Did I just say I love Draco? Shaking my head, I sigh and enjoy the quiet atmosphere with my mate and co-veela. The next person to wake up half an hour later is Draco who sits up and stretches. I got a good view of his six-pack and I quickly look away. Not that I am jealous, hell no am I jealous, I am the one with an eight pack. Due to training and whatnot, I am extremely fit but still lightweight due to the irregular eating between Hogwarts and the Dursleys.

"Morning." Draco groans as he stretches side to side. Lovely morning view I have to admit.

"Morning." Draco's eyes land on the sleeping angel beside me. I see Draco smile softly and have love swirling in his eyes.

"She is beautiful when she sleeps." I nod agreeing with him.

"Yeah, no nightmares, and hopefully peaceful and happy dreams are allowing her to rest." Draco's smile turns into a playful smirk. I narrow my eyes at what the blonde is thinking.

"Yeah rest before we mate." I gawk at him and throw a middle finger at him.

"Draco now is not the time." I scold him trying to keep our voices in a whisper to prevent Lillian from waking up. She needs all the sleep she can get.

"Well, it is on a to-do list and you heard what the veela council said. We must mate or we will possibly die. I don't intend to die." I agree with him for once.

"Yes we shall mate with her but at the moment we are not doing that. Not today for sure since she might be in her fearful state the whole day. It has occurred a few times in the past and mating will only increase that fear to a panic attack." Draco's smirk falls off his face and I see he is taking in the seriousness of the situation.

"Sorry, didn't know that." I nod forgiving him and look down at Lea when she rolls on her other side freeing my arm from around her.

"Shall we go for a flight? I doubt you know how to fly with actual wings." My lips turn down in a deeper frown. I need someone to be here when Lillian wakes up or she will full-on panic.

"Stay here with her for a minute while I go get someone. It is just a precaution." Draco nods and we switch places. Once we see she is still asleep, I go swiftly to the great hall and get Hermione.

"Hey Harry, what are you doing here? Where is your sister?" Hermione asks.

"She had another one," I say all I need to say in order for Hermione to jump up out of her seat and run with me to the room. I also didn't miss Neville following. Neville and Hermione are the only two that know about Lillian's fearful dream episodes and have connected with Lea that there will be no issues when I had to go do something and Lea has to be alone. 

"Why did you bring them two?" Draco asks when we enter back in Lillian's chambers.

"They can keep her calm. Lea trusts them and I do as well." Turning to face Hermione and Neville, I explain what happened. "She had another nightmare that she thinks we are not siblings. We calmed her down but right now Draco and I need to go learn how to fly with these wings so I need you two to watch her and explain where we are."

"You got it." Hermione and Neville change their persona quickly. If you didn't know them as well as I then you wouldn't believe it. Hermione and Neville square their shoulders, lift their heads and confidently sit on either side of Lea. Draco got out of bed so he can wake his legs.

"We will be outside so if anything call." It feels like I am leaving my child with two babysitters.

"Go you guys. We will be fine." Hermione shoos us away and with a nod at each other, Draco and I head to the astronomy tower and begin to practice using our wings
