The Engagement Kiss

I hope nobody kills me but there are going to be a few more OCs… they won’t stick around to long though so don’t hate them? >.<

“Never, ever, do that again.” Harry informed him throwing an arm over Naji’s shoulders. They exited in time to see Draco race down the hall panic in his eyes. Harry and Naji glanced at each other before following the distraught Slytherin. They all entered Severus’ lab, eyes on Draco.

“Ron…he passed out and the whole room started glowing…I can’t get back in!” he explained, Harry briefly wondered why the shit had to hit the fan now all at once.

Chapter 14:

Draco Malfoy paced the hallway outside his mate’s room, distressed and confused. Damming his father with every step, if the man hadn’t made him afraid to accept his veela than he and Ron could’ve potentially realized they were mates much earlier. Which would give Draco some idea about what the hell was going on, instead he was shunted to the side and that made him very irritable. Ron was his mate there was no reason he should be kept out of the loop, worse were the random flashes of his mate’s emotions the main one being confusion. Hermione and the two strangers, Draco couldn’t remember their names, came into the hall looking at him. The tall Potter look alike had a strange look of worry and fear mixed on his face, Draco briefly wondered to whom that concern was directed. Harry and Severus came out of Ron’s room, neither looking happy.

“We can’t get in; there is a spell or something keeping us from getting more than a few feet into the room.” Harry explained dully, he was afraid for his friend. Draco sagged against the wall; this was too much for one day. How did Potter survive if his life was this hectic all the time? Harry looked over at the taller one,

“Az? You know what he is can’t you call someone to help?” He implored voice strained and nervous. Az sighed,

“I’m trying. She isn’t letting me in…” he muttered and sighed.

“Naji can you get Emmett?” he asked looking at the green hair boy who nodded, “Ask him to find Nauru and Hsia and bring them here?” he continued looking annoyed. Naji nodded and cocked his head as if listening to something.

“Neither of them knows were Hsia is they say she disappeared early this morning.” He said looking at Az with apprehension. The older boy swore and nodded,

“Just get them here then. I’ll deal with Hsia later.” He snapped Harry watched his brother with confusion. Az was usually unshakeable. Draco watched with utter confusion. Practically at the point of shouting for someone to explain what the hell was going on when a bright flash appeared at the end of the hallway. Two figures stepped out, one impossibly tall man his head was mere inches away from hitting the seven foot ceiling and another shorter man he was around Draco’s modest five eight. The tall man had deep blue eyes that resembled the ocean with its shifting colors, a strong face framed by loose strands of dark blue-black hair. The strangest thing about the tall man was the two wolf ears that protruded from his hair and the long bushy tail that was curly idly around him. His companion had honey colored hair and eyes in combination with his sun kissed skin he looked like a living sunbeam they were like polar opposites. Az strode forward and gave the tall man a brief hug and shook hands with the slighter one.

“Everyone this is Nauru,” he gestured to the tall man, “and Emmett.” He continued waving at the smaller man who glared at him.

“Is there a reason you brought us here Azar?” he demanded, Draco had to catch himself from falling. While the man himself didn’t look that old his voice spoke of ageless wisdom. The mere power in that was impossible to miss, and difficult to comprehend. AZ nodded but didn’t speak to Emmett instead he turned to Nauru.

“One of Harry’s, my little brother’s, friends is coming into his inheritance.” He’d vaguely waved to Harry while mentioning him, “His inheritance as a Kelikan Nauru.” He continued. The man looked startled glancing over to the room where he’d thought he’d felt a pup but that was impossible.

“There are no missing pups Az, and none of the registered wizarding groups reported any pups to me. How did this boy get under our radar?” he said looking again at the room eyes widening slightly, “No training what so ever…that’s dangerous for the pup and those around them. How old is he?” he asked, all business now. Az looked over to Harry for help.

“H…He’s seventeen Sir,” he replied slightly threatened by the man’s great height. There was also a feeling he couldn’t shake about him, like he could be dangerous.

“Hmm. That’s on the older side for coming into their powers for a pup. Not unheard of though. Had he ever shown any ah…un-wizarding skills?” he asked, trying to phrase the question the best he could, it was hard to explain to an outsider.

“I don’t think so…Ron… he’s never really been good at spells or potions or well anything at school. Not to say he’s stupid!” Harry tried to explain. Nauru however nodded his blue eyes understanding,

“That’s a common ailment for Kelikan children with wizarding roots. Our powers aren’t exactly utilized in the same way, much as your Ander powers aren’t. You’ve no need for a wand with your natural powers right?” Harry nodded, “Same for Kelikans we just instinctively have trouble with typical magic.” He said with a smile, then turned serious again, “But if he’s never shown any signs than someone was keeping him warded, that’s extremely dangerous to a pups development.” He said looking at the room again. Harry glanced a Draco, was that what the blonde meant when he said he was suppressing his veela? Self warding himself?

“Something must have happened to weaken the wards.” Nauru commented, looking down at Harry, way down at the boy. Draco piped up,

“Would finding a mate change anything?” he asked, looking at him. Nauru sniffed carefully and then looked at Draco,

“Veela, yes it could have. Though only finding one mate wouldn’t trigger this active a reaction. Unless the meeting of one triggered recognition of another…” he murmured. Draco looked up at the tall wolf-man cautiously,

“What do you mean one mate?” he demanded. Nauru smiled down at him.

“Male Kelikans’ can have more than one mate, my brother has three. I think the highest on record is seven.” He replied with a knowing smile, “What will you do if your mate wishes for another too?” he asked, Draco cowered he would do what Ron wanted, that was what his veela demanded. However the Malfoy in him refused to share.

“I can’t help until the shell is gone, but I think perhaps the situation is less dire than it appears.” Nauru said cryptically and they all turned to glance at the door.

RWRWRWRWRW

It was bright, that was the first thing he noticed once opening his eyes. A bright blinding white yet he felt no discomfort at the intensity just a mild annoyance.

“Have I died then?” he asked aloud, his voice sounding flat and dead to his ears. A soft chuckle responded to his voice, the light directly in front of him bending and warping. A well formed woman stepped out, her simple dress falling just below her knees and hugging every curve in between. Her hair was a dark auburn several shades beyond his own, his eyes however caught on the wolf ears that were situated there and her wagging tail that was the same dark auburn color.

“Didn’t your mum teach you it’s rude to stare?” She inquired cheerfully. He blushed slightly but didn’t avert his gaze.

“What are you?” He asked softly, curiosity getting the best of him. She smiled exposing sharp canine teeth.

“I am a kelikan, as a are you.” She replied, “Most call us the lost cousins of the werewolves but we are nothing like those brutes. We are simply a different evoulutionary chain than humans, resulting in our similarities and differences. But our time is short and you need to unlock your powers if you want to live to keep that pretty little veela mate of yours.” She continued. He nodded, waiting for her to explain.

“Good pup. This is most likely going to hurt.” She warned before he felt her slam into his mind. Searching out the marks of the wards and removing them, while also supplying him with bits of information to help ease the change. He knew now that Kelikans’ had an inborn talent with their powers, to understand and control them when they awakened with only a small amount of training. That he could potentially have several mates, Draco would love that he thought ruefully aware that Malfoy’s did not share well. As she released the last ward he doubled over in pain. Years worth of growing was accomplished in mere seconds, he also acquired ears and a fluffy tail that matched his fiery hair. She watched whispering calming words once the pain subsided, Ron had sprung past his original tall height of nearly six feet to an impressive six foot five.

“Earth, Stone and metal, that’s an interesting combination of powers pup. Use them well.” She said looking up, “Come on, before your mate hurts himself trying to get through the shell.” She said extending a dainty hand. He accepted and they were rocketed back to the solid realm of Snape Manor. Draco was indeed standing outside the shining wall and Ron could feel his mate’s desperate need to make sure he was alright. With a small smile Ron had to think, the ferret had a heart after all. The woman waved a hand and the wall vanished. Draco ran in, completely ignoring Ron’s new appearance and buried his head into his mate’s chest. The others followed, with two new people accompanying them another Kelikan and, Ron inhaled, and another Ander. He was amazed at his new sense of smell and enhanced hearing, able to hear Draco whispered threats when he never would’ve caught them before.

“Hsia!” Exclaimed Az looking at the girl, but not before Ron caught the relieved glance the older boy sent his way. Ron’s mentor of sorts smiled and waved,

“Hiya Az, sorry, I couldn’t reply while in someone else’s mind.” She replied pointing at Ron accusingly. While they bickered; Harry, Hermione and Naji joined Ron sitting on the edges of the bed.

“You alright Ron?” Harry asked nervously, his friend’s eyes shone with an intelligence that hadn’t been so visible before.

“I’m great Ry. I feel like I’m whole, like I was broken, incomplete without realizing it.” He replied cheerily, pulling the distraught veela into his lap. Harry stood patting his best friend’s shoulder.

“You had us worried for a second there; try not to do it again?” He said, Ron laughed and nodded, with a yawn. They all left him and Draco alone, Draco defiantly didn’t want to be separated from him and Ron had fallen asleep holding his mate in an iron grip. It had been a long day, Harry retired with Severus, they’d taken to sleeping in the same room ever since Severus kissed him goodnight. But Harry had something on him mind; he needed to talk about it but at the same time didn’t want to bother Severus.

“What is it?” the man asked sitting beside Harry, his coal black eyes soft.

“I…Ander’s live for a really long time Sev…I…I don’t think I’d be able to go on if I had to watch you all grow old and leave me alone.” He whispered. Severus wrapped his arms around the smaller boy,

“That’s stupid Harry.” He informed his mate dryly, “You may watch us grow old, possibly die but we’ll never leave you alone. I seriously doubt that all of your friends are going to remain celibate for ever Harry. You’ll have our kids, Draco’s brats; yes male veela’s can bear children too, and whoever else decides to procreate.” He admonished softly, smirking gently as Harry’s green eyes grew wide. Severus leaned in to steal a kiss while the boy was pondering the possibilities, he wouldn’t be alone and he would watch his own children grow up maybe his grandchildren! It would hurt to have to watch Severus leave him but he would never have to forget him. Mollified Harry responded vigorously to his mate’s attention, mewling desperately. Severus smirked and ghosted his talented fingers over Harry’s pert nipples; it was the boy’s fault for never wearing a nightshirt he reasoned. Harry gasped and arched into the touch, whispering his mate’s name reverently. Severus’ hands moved downwards stroking Harry’s inner thighs, while he suckled and nipped at the buds his hands had left.
Harry moaned his body fire with sensation, needy and lovingly he gasped out Severus’ name hissing the end. Much like he had in their first encounter. Severus growled, moving up to re-claim the boy’s lips, and brining their erections together to end with a hearty session of mutual masturbation. No matter how much Severus wanted to claim Harry, the younger boy wasn’t ready not yet. With a whispered cleaning spell Severus pulled the blanket over himself and his already sleeping mate. With a small smile he placed a kiss right beside Harry’s scar and settled in beside him.

A.N. Smutty tasticness for all my lovely reviewers! Although I think Nikite is conspiring to make me fat with all the chocolate and cookies I’m getting. Just kidding! It is much appreciated. So! On with the questions? XD I hope this chap helps clear up why Draco couldn’t sense Ron earlier, he had essentially stripped himself of his powers until he stopped warding himself but due to the prolonged time doing that he suffered some lag and it all came back at once. Sometimes I forget that not everyone can read my mind and it doesn’t always make sense. My apologies.

So what do you think of the Kelikans? I think perhaps it might be too many unique characters in one story but it was too good to pass up. And it was rather fun writing Nauru and Hsia older, their much younger in their own stories which have no reference to anything magical. XD I made up the conflict with natural powers and Magic cause I hate how Ron is portrayed as a dunce. I also hope that I’m doing ok with keeping characters in character, I know Draco is a little out of character but he has to be. His world was sorta upended on his head. I’d be a little lost myself. XD anywho! Ta for now! I’m late for English cause I wanted to finish this chappie =P
