Veela Ties (Harry Potter x OC x Draco Malfoy)

Part 10

"This is preposterous! How mad are they?" the Veela council gather around in the dark woods on Hogwarts ground. "They are going against us."

"Calm yourself Fenrir. Technically she is still a student of the school so half of the decision lies on the headmaster."

"Still! Lillian has every right in knowing of her real blood. We must prepare her for the war even more. We always told her the truth so why not now?"

"Just as Albus said, the news can be catastrophic with how she takes it. I fear not even her mates could stop her if her mind turns to the worst. She almost deafened half the school with the scream of her nightmare. Seeing and learning her nightmare is true who knows what will happen. We all know Lillian isn't a strong stable girl when it comes to news that can change her life forever."

"Then we shall keep the secret for now. Once they- oh my." the fire the council circles grows symbolizing a veela couple just mated. reaching their palms out they observe just who the couple is. "I guess that sums up my next statement. In three days, we will inform Lillian of her birthright. All in favor?"

"Aye." the council agrees in informing Lillian Potter Riddle of her heritage. They hope she will take it well and if not then just for precaution they will bring them to a ritual room. Its magic is strong enough to contain bursts of magic as powerful as Lillian's.

"Urgh, why does Snape have to be such a stick in the mud?" Lillian whines exiting from the potions classroom with a small parchment with the homework to be done.

"Because that is Snape, love. He will never change and if he does it might turn out to be the end of the world." Harry, Draco, and Lillian laugh and walk to lunch.

"C'mon he is milking it dry like a forty-inch-long essay on dragon blood and its uses.  Come on! I think he needs a girlfriend. The sad fact is, the potential girlfriend is dead."

"What do you mean?" Harry turns to look at his sister and mate.

"Harry, our mother is the only woman Snape ever loved. It kinda is creepy." The siblings shudder with Draco grinning at them.

"On another note, I am surprised you can walk after last night." Lillian's face flushed red raising the boy's confidence and pride.

"Don't get too smug. You guys were okay. I think Harry beat you by an inch if you know what I mean." Now it is Lilian's turn to laugh at the sad pout on Draco's face.

"We'll see about that. Get ready for tomorrow you are not going to be joining Harry and me to class."

"Skipping Ms. Potter?" The three students freeze and turn to see Minerva.

"Uh no, I am not. Draco was just joking around." Draco coughs when Lillian elbows his stomach hard.

"Yeah, Lillian needs her education even if she is smarter than us." Lillian laughs and pecks his cheek.

"Hmhm." the professor walks off to the teacher's table as the three head to sit with Neville.

"Morning Neville, how are you? Oh, is that a new plant? Do tell me all about it." Lillian doesn't wait to ask the boy questions. Harry and Draco chuckle sitting on either side of their mate.

"This conversation isn't over darling," Draco whispers in her ear knowing Lillian made Neville start talking to move away from their previous conversation.

"I hardly know what you are referring to Dragon but sure, whatever you say." Lillian sighs and listens in as Neville talks about planting the white cactus in his hand.

Throughout lunch, it was peaceful and chatty with Lillian and Neville talking most of the time. Draco and Harry talk as well and the twins joined in the conversation about quidditch. A white owl flies down suddenly and drops a blue envelope.
