A/N: Veela soulmate fic with an indepedent Harry, who's already in love, and quite frankly doesn't need the kind of emotional "healing" that "his" Veela is trying to force on him. He's not broken, and he wishes that the bloody veela would bugger off already!982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApSbjIPtDi

Narcissa was leaning against the doorframe, an adoring look on her face as she regarded her son, preening in the full-wall mirror on one side of his bedroom.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1SJm6BKDv
"I look so fine!"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0xFnE8Gnd
"Your mate won't be able to resist." she agreed.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3iXlSIDfn
"My strength will protect him."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy0WQPOFgC
"Everyone needs a protector." she seconded.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJJaU3nJUL
"He puts up such a strong act in his Auror career, but I can tell he's hurting underneath. I can offer him healing."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8LPenFNIE
"And he will be fortunate to have such a loving mate." Narcissa cooed.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQXKPTqpZE
Draco spun on his heel, watching his wings flutter, and flare, and then settle back under his skin. The allure faded, withdrawing, till he appeared normal: ravishing, delectable, and delightful, yes, but still like a normal wizard. He strode out the door, draping a cloak around his bare shoulders and dropped a kiss on his mother's cheek as he went.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FgWGnhfuQ
"I will return with my bondmate!" he called over his shoulder. Narcissa smiled, and fluttered her fingers at him in farewell.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzUhvd6gEF

Harry Potter, youngest Chief Auror in history, was demonstrating an intricate spell chain to the batch of third year trainees. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU8HNAijoo
"Now half of these are silent, and the other half are verbal, and they all link up to be especially effective with one another. The beauty of this is, that even if they get a shield charm up, some of them are area-effect spells, so be sure your protective charms are activated before you...mpppfffph!"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMSHCEi2D9
Harry whirled and cast a shield charm of his own, bouncing his invisible assailant off of him and to the other side of the room. A muffled moan could be heard, then the tips of two, shiny, leather boots peeked out from underneath an invisibility cloak. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9VhHZ3xMD
"Come out and drop your wand." Harry ordered, the trainees practically swooning at the opportunity to see The Harry Potter in action. A moment later, the invisibility cloak slid off the figure of a shirtless Draco Malfoy, rubbing the side of his head where a knot was quickly forming.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNqxPWr4r9
"Well that wasn't exactly how I planned it." Draco muttered, but quickly regained his alomb and straightened up, striking a regal pose, wings unfolding from his back and spreading out behind him. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaGQXdpmwh
"Harry Potter. My magic has quested and searched the world for a mate, and it has settled on you." he said grandly, allure out in full force. "But do not concern yourself with your feelings of unworthiness: I need you as much as you need me." he leaned forward, passionately, eyes glimmering with his view of the future. "You need a guardian: I need someone to protect. You need a Healer: I need to take you under my wings to bind the wounds of your heart. You need someone who will always be there: I need to have someone who needs me. You need a lover: I need a mate. In short, we are perfectly matched. Come, let me enfold you in my wings and bear you away in my arms."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlRL1XhCZ4
Harry Potter blinked. Twice.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjSF5ykmzo
"Er, Malfoy," he started, but Draco was already in front of him, a finger across Harry's lips.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡritpdBw5eH
"Shhhhh," he crooned, voice taking on angelic, soothing properties. "Sleep, and when you awake, we will be bonded for eternity."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L4zp15Wmm
Harry jerked away, eyes narrowing. "Now see here, I don't need guardian, healer, or a lover. I protect myself, I go to Saint Mungo's for healing, and I'm married." 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPEDvwAWyD
Draco appeared nonplussed. "You try to appear so strong, but underneath, you're bleeding. You've never had time or the emotional security to heal from the wounds of your childhood and the war. I've contributed to that, I know I have..." Draco looked away, the picture of penitent shame, "but now I'm here to make it right. It's fitting that the first person in the Wizarding World to harm you now be the one to make it right."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumXHfXtb5T
"Actually, Voldemort was the first one to harm me. Or if we're going off cause and effect, Pettigrew was." Harry corrected him. "And I have healed. I spent a few years in therapy and I'm doing fantastically now."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjT6iqzUdC
Draco's face became the picture of abject sympathy. "But I know that the Healers were blinded by your fame; wouldn't allow your problems to be truly discussed, for fear that they'd destroy the Healers' image of you. You must still be devastated by that."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3pxzBpHRw
"Well, the first Healer was sort of like that, but I never really felt comfortable talking to Dennis Creevey in that capacity, anyway. Mathilda Hathkirk was a far better option, and a highly competent one, too. In any case, Dennis promised he'd never be so blinded again after Hermione hexed him."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RsysAbMh6
Draco heaved a sigh. "And your marriage...your disastrous, failing marriage. It's all right to get divorced; it isn't a moral failing. I have already forgiven you for marrying someone so utterly unright for you."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0te3yL10iG
Harry had lost his patience. "Hermione is the love of my life!" he shouted, voice somehow simultaneously deafening while still being low and threatening. "She's a rock; utterly supportive of me, and keeps me on my toes. I adore her!"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV4CtvWm2k
"Harry, Harry, Harry." Draco shook his head. "You are so determined to put up this brave facade that you've almost convinced yourself that you are happy."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWIu3dBMdL
"I am happy!" Harry flinched away from Draco's hand which was attempting to caress his cheek.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4BJlvyGWM
"See?" Draco sighed, "You're so broken that you shy away from my touch. You need me."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjZxMsGGic
"I was shying away from your touch because you look like you're two seconds away from trying to throw me down here on the floor and shag me, not because I'm broken. Bugger off." Harry scowled impressively and stalked away. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjOTdCjsxS
"You can't go! I'll...I'll die without your bond!" Draco begged, hands outstretched. "A Veela can only choose once!"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVeWYX6639
Harry raised an eyebrow and regarded his third year trainee bunch. Half were crying, hanging on Draco's every word, hands raised supplicantly for Harry to accept Draco's suit. The other half, the ones who were apparently immune to the allure, looked decidedly unimpressed. A few were vomiting in a corner from the saccharine sweetness of Draco's statements. 982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDByoFoLIu3
"Roberts!" Harry barked out, causing one of the latter half to pop to attention.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ1uQVe4Lx
"Sir!"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MXNmmioeE
"Your mother is a Veela, what do you say?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4V6mZmM4T
"Veela are free to choose whomever they want, and often have several bonded mates at once, Sir!"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2Z8MXfuMw
"And is there a spell to break the bond?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkSWl8DlCn
"Sir, yes, sir! It's Amor Ariditatem, to be cast in a circular motion around Veela and bondmate!"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT2FI0rtzW
Draco looked horrified. "No, please...you're condemning me to a slow and painful death!"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VkyiWohgU
"Roberts?"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp0RV5JvEr
"Sir, false, sir!"982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiwyx2KBMN
"Amor Ariditatem. Thank you, Roberts."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbvdhWzRyl
Draco was weeping now, his allure fading, wings retracting into his skin. "You've killed me."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0nLLpVvhY
"I have not, you big baby. Bugger off."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDbqyXcmz2
"No!" Draco wept harder, "I'm going to die."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbH1OiXYe4
"From what, exactly? We know now that the bond breaking won't kill you."982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWBvlh3cCF
"My mother really wants grandkids!" Draco sank to the floor, sobbing and unresisting even as Harry tapped Draco's cloak, incanting "Portus". The despondent Veela was portkeyed away, back to Malfoy Manor.982Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2GNNFQIbG
