Draco sat in his room at Hogwarts, this was the beginning of his eight year at the school. Everything felt different now, some of his friends had decided to come to the extra year at the school and so did he. What else should he have done? His father was in Azkaban and his mother was at this moment going through a divorce so that she could move away. Her plan was to leave the country and move to France. She had offered Draco to come with her but he knew what that would have led to, his mother was an alpha so she didn't have any problems leaving her mate. His father was also an alpha so he wouldn't feel anything about breaking their contract in marriage. Slowly Draco sat himself down on his bed and started unpacking his trunk. There it was, a small golden box. In it was pills that suppressed his ranking. As embarrassing as it was he Draco Malfoy was and would always be an omega. He still remembered when his father had told him about his birth.
The day of his birth his mother had been so happy, receiving her first child. But even if she had been happy his father had been furious, that child that she had in her arms was an omega. First he wanted to scream and tell his wife that she most have cheated and that the child was not his but that hair on the baby's head was the exact same color as Lucius hair. A sad day was what his father often said when he referred to Draco's birthday. But now you might wonder why they didn't get more children that were easy to explain. Narcissa and Lucius was both alphas so they had more difficulties getting pregnant than other couples but somehow they did. Narcissa was the only one that referred to her son as a miracle.
Well these pills that was specially made only for him was so that he could suppress his omega rank and pose as a alpha. But as his father was now in Azkaban and wouldn't come out ever again Draco didn't receive more pills. Well he didn't want any either, now that the war was over he just wanted to forget about his sad childhood and continue with his life. But even if that was the truth he was dreading the day when his omega smell would be strong so that others would feel it too. He had been so horrible during all those years and he just knew that the alphas of the school would torment him. But well he deserved it, all of it. Luckily he had his wand that he could use if the alphas got out of hand. But the wand wouldn't be able to stop him if he was ordered by an alpha to do something. A shiver went down his spine.
"OMG Draco, you are here!" Blaise said as he ran through the door. "I was worried that you would change your mind about going to school." With fast movements he was by Draco's side and looked at the object in his hands. "Oh, suppressing medication?" He was one of those few who knew about Draco's ranking.
"Yeah." Draco lifted the lid of the box and it was empty.
"What? Where are the pills? Have you ordered more?" Blaise stood up and looked with huge eyes at Draco.
"No, I am done with hiding. I will stop pretending to be an alpha just to make my father who is never coming home happy." Draco closed the lid again and put the box carefully at his desk.
"Wow that's really brave of you, or foolish." Blaise was impressed by Draco's decision as he knew that Draco thought it embarrassing to be an omega. The omega craved contact by its mate, they were often weak, small and was always in the receiving part in mating.
"Yeah I think so too, it is foolish of me but if it goes bad you will always be there to protect me, right?" Draco sneered at his friend and Blaise knew that if anyone was brave enough to do something to Draco they would need stitches all over their body. So he was sure that if anyone needed protection it sure as hell wasn't Draco.
"Of course, your my mate!"
"Yeah but not your mate mate!" Draco said and this cause Blaise to laugh. Only Draco could say something like that with a stern expression on his face.
"No even if you are good looking for a guy I still like my beta lady." Blaise smiled as Draco raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean? Wait have you met your mate?" Draco was jealous of Blaise, he also wanted to have a mate to share his life with.
"I just started to well find a certain woman, well,,, sexy as hell." Blaise looked down in the madras and didn't dare to look Draco in his eyes.
"Who?" Draco asked suspicious.
"Pansy Parkinson." He whispered low. Draco felt a huge relief as he heard that answer. Pansy really liked Draco and used to call him his. But he had tried for so long to show her that he didn't feel that way for her and then the war came. She sadly heard something she just shouldn't have heard. Draco had stood in the cambers and muttered "Why fucking him of all bloody people? Why that damned Potter? Couldn't it have been someone else? Did he have to come and save me? Fuck! Why do I feel so?! It only makes it more difficult to hate him! I hate- fuck- I ha—hat—hate,,, why is it so difficult?" And then she had heard Draco whisper "I love you Potter" into the wall. This had made her fall from her where she had been hiding and well they had met and talked it over during the summer. She was now another person in school that knew his ranking. It had been a bit of fun to hear that she wasn't that surprised to begin with and that she actually had been thinking that I was gay for some time and well because of my drama and meek body she started wonder if my ranking really was an alphas. Draco thought as he started unpacking some of his clothes.
"Well it sounds great that you like her! She might give you a chance." Draco said and pulled up a shirt from his trunk.
"Sure and that she have been crushing on you for the last five years is nothing?" Blaise said and laid down on my bed.
"She knows about my ranking so I think you will be okay." Draco said as nonchalant as possible.
"Wait what?!" Blaise sat himself up in record time and looked at Draco. "How, when?"
"I told her this summer." Draco started pulling at one of his socks that was without its pair. "Where is that damned sock?" He looked deeper into the trunk.
"And your telling me this now? You should have told me before!" Blaise hurried to the door. "Wish me luck I have to start the courting now!" Then he disappeared. Draco let out a heavy breath and looked at his room.
It was a single bedroom, with a separate bathroom. They was often divided in grades and ranking. The only ones back to the eight year was all betas and alphas, then it was him so he got to sleep alone in his room. It was the best because the scent alone especially during his heat could drive any alphas or betas insane. That was why the school had rooms for each grade so that the classmates could sleep together and then rooms that divided people into their ranking to make sure that omegas slept in the same room as omegas etc. But because he had been taking pills till now he had also been staying in a room with the alphas in his class.
It felt good to be back. Then his thought took a turn, he started to think about when the affects of the pills would wear off. When would he start to smell like the omega he was? Oh dear Merlin what would Potter think? Harry bloody Potter he was the alpha over the alphas. He had the strongest scent in the school and he had even stronger alpha than any of the teachers. Potter could have anyone he wanted in this school, anyone. Someday he would smell a scent coming from an omega or beta that will capture his attention and then he would be hooked. Yeah someday Potter would feel the scent that would drive him insane if couldn't mark that person at that very spot. What if he already had marked someone? What if he now in this moment was telling his friends about his mate? Draco shook his head, why was he thinking of Potter now? He should be concentrating on unpacking and getting ready to move to the great hall for some food. I wonder if I will meet Potter on my way...NO what am I thinking?! Draco decided to stop what he was doing and take a quick but needed shower to cool his head.
At the great hall there was lot of pupils already sitting down and enjoying their food as Draco, Blaise and Pansy walked in. Almost everyone stopped talking the minute they saw Draco and some even called "Death eater!" Draco felt shame running through him but was surprised when Potter stood up from his seat and instead of killing Draco on the spot he yelled, "The war is over Malfoy has as much right to be here as all of you!" If many went silent before it was nothing compare to when Harry had spoken. Not a single sound was made in the room and everyone looked in shock to see Harry Potter defend his enemy.
"I don't need you to fend for me Potter." Draco said as he walked into the room.
"Nice to see you too Malfoy." Harry said and started eating again. Ron looked at his mate and started saying that he shouldn't be nice to such a git as Malfoy.
Draco hurried to a empty seat at the Slytherin table with both Blaise and Pansy after him.
When they had sat themselves down and started to eat Pansy leaned in towards Draco.
"So how are you feeling hun? Having your prince charming defend you in front of all these people?" She smiled and gave Draco a nudge on his shoulder.
"Shut it Pansy!" Draco said right before he started to chew on a sandwich.
"Feisty this morning aren't we?" Pansy laughed and turned her attention towards Blaise. My prince charming? Don't make me laugh!
