Epilogue: Monday

As Draco opened his eyes he was greeted with chocolate brown eyes gazing at him.

"Happy Birthday"

"Where is my present love?" He wrinkled his nose as she shifted forwards putting her bushy hair against his nose. It tickled.

"It's right here." She leant forward and gave him a chaste kiss on his lips. But as she went to pull away Draco brought an arm up and held her head to his as he deepened the kiss. Finally satisfied he let go and pulled back to look at her flushed face.

"Love you, my mate."

"Love you too. But I think we ought to go show the professors you are still alive." Hermione sat up. Her whole body was tingling from the night before.

"Up you get."

Draco laughed, having not felt so carefree in a long time. Heaving himself up he followed Hermione into the bathroom to begin getting dressed. It was officially the best day of his life. The veela was calm, his mate was a good part of his life and he had had fabulous sex.

He knew though that the veela depended on Hermione but would now start attracting others, as if under a spell. He had to discuss it with Hermione but not yet. Nothing was going to ruin the day's mood. It was his birthday and he had lived to see it through.

After much delay and enjoyment Draco and Hermione went down to the Great Hall for breakfast holding hands. Stopping just before the doors they both mentally counted to 3 before pushing open the doors with their free hand. The reactions they received were quite diverse.

The whole hall became pin drop silent. Instinctively Hermione looked towards the Gryffindor table seeking her best friends out. They both were ignoring the looks of astonishment they were getting from their fellow housemates and were smiling broadly and giving Hermione thumbs up.

Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw didn't seem to know how to react. They were shocked initially but now curiosity had set in and both tables had already began to whisper to one another in speculation. They were trying to be quiet but the rest of the hall being silent meant they appeared quite noisy.

Slytherin, generally, all seemed to have a permanent smirk on their faces. Blaise Zabini actually had a genuine smile on his face for his best friend. He had known all about the Granger infatuation but was clueless on the veela part of the story. Draco knew he would have to catch him up on it. Blaise could be trusted to keep quiet. Then Pansy broke the silence.

"Drakey Poo, why are you touching the mudblood?" she screeched in her high-pitched voice. Many people sitting near her winced.

Draco went red with rage. The hand that was holding on to Hermione did little to calm him and he hissed angrily at the one of the few blood prejudiced people left in the wizarding world after the war.

"Miss Parkinson. I would advise you never to insult a veela or his mate. Your life could be in great danger unless Miss Granger calms him. Insulting her is not a great thing to do."

Everyone gasped. A veela. Though they never knew exactly what a veela was many had learnt the basic facts in their lessons. It explained everything and things calmed.

Snape glanced at Hermione and then sneered at Pansy. "Do not make me take points off my own house." Then he nodded at the couple before making his way back towards the Head Table.

Hermione and Draco slowly followed after him, ignoring the whispers that had grown again. Pansy was sitting rather pale at the Slytherin table jumping with fright at the look Draco gave her. The couple made their way to the Head table and both saw the shock of the veela revelation except for Snape, Dumbledore and Mcgonagall who was mildly surprised. Dumbldore smiled knowingly at Hermione.

Stopping in front of him the pair smiled back.

"Thank you professor. Your message was received loud and clear." Hermione said. "I'm going to do it again. So please excuse me."

The questioning glances at the headmaster blurred out. The hall's whispers faded and Hermione focused on Draco.

"I'm following my heart."

And she sealed it with a kiss.
