Harry Potter and the Prince of Slytherin

85 Essence of Veela

"Dude! wake up it's me." Draco said dodging a punch. "I know you can get away from his control, I know you can-- okay stop trying to punch me you, idiot!" Draco said punching back right in his face.

Draco quickly got up getting the chance, "Theodore, it's me, your best friend, your childhood friend-- remember all the times we spent together, remember Pansy, Daphne, and all our other friends in Hogwarts-- Wake up Asshole! I know you can." Draco yelled.

Theodore stooped in his tracks trying to get back control. His emotionless eyes started shining a bit. Draco knew this was working, "Remember the time when we first met and I forced you to become my friend even if you didn't want to-- you looked so annoyed but deep inside I knew you were happy."

"Don't listen to him!" Pius yelled crazily, the rope had already come off but he was similarly struggling like Theodore, trying to get away from whoever was controlling him.

"Shut up!" Theodore said taking out his wand and shutting Pius's mouth shut with a spell, dropping on the ground. He had finally woken up. Draco sighed in relief, "You are back!" Draco smiled.

"What the hell happened to your face?" Theodore said weakly laughing, but out of nowhere Pius suddenly grabbed the random wand on the ground and pushed Theodore out of the hole that Draco had made previously with a non-verbal spell.

Theodore who was pushed away was sent out the wall flying but to his surprise, Draco blinked, he didn't know why but he decided to trust him, a yellow ball came flying down with him. Theodore realizing what the ball was quickly caught it and squeaked it, as he was about to nearly fall on the ground, Fluffy caught him with his teeth hanging out by his robes. Theodore sighed in relief, he didn't even mind the saliva that was dripping on top of him from Fluffy's mouth. Fluffy slowly put him on the ground and to his surprise, Draco's suitcase was there, which had a small note on top of it, that read:

You see those four poles surrounding the mansion, destroy it and let the vampire's outside in. Also, the suitcase is unlocked, put Fluffy inside it for me, would you.

Theodore looked at the gate to find people in robes staring at him, 'Vampires really?'

At the same time, a vampire came rushing in towards Mordred as the person bowed in front of him, "King, some wizards have arrived and they have the princess's blood printed handkerchief with them."

Mordred nodded, "Let them in."

---------------------------------------

Up inside the mansion, Draco rushed to pick up his wand as Pius threw a sofa towards him, "Cave inimicum" Draco quickly chanted conjuring a shield protecting himself. Draco had to admit that even after his mouth was shut sealed and one arm missing Pius was still not giving up without a fight.

"You win this time." Pius said opening his mouth with his wand, "Make sure to read the letter--" He said throwing a letter to him.

Draco caught the letter in surprise but as he looked back at Pius who was madly grinning, Draco felt something was wrong.

"--If you survive this." Pius completed his sentence, self-destructing, a huge blast rose up, Draco blocked the flames with the shield but he was still sent flying by the force. Theodore who had just destroyed the poles looked at the flames that were rising up, "Shit!" Theodore said quickly sending Fluffy towards him, trying to catch Draco.

Similarly, Elanora rushed quickly to save the falling Draco after the formation was destroyed, but both of them were too late as Draco's body fell on the ground with a loud thud.

"No!" Theodore yelled rushing towards Draco as he jumped up off Fluffy, He checked Draco to see his wound filled body, with burnt marks on them and some bones clearly broken. Theodore hurriedly checked his breathing and luckily Draco was still breathing but it was very weak.

"Don't worry buddy, I will save you." Theodore said quickly trying to heal his broken bones, the bones healed but the situation wasn't any good.

"It's no use." Mordred said appearing behind Theodore, Theodore looked back to see a pack of vampires who looked indifferent and a girl who was on the ground her eyes wide open in shock. "It's a pity he could have been a great war--"

Before Mordred could finish his sentence, Theodore yelled at him, "He is still breathing so shut up!"

Everyone was shocked as to how Theodore spoke to Mordred.

"Humans really don't have any manners." Raymond snorted as he grinned looking at Elanor, "So little sis, I win, right?"

Elanor looked at Raymond with eyes filled with anger, as she was about to say something an explosion suddenly rang out, throwing Raymond far away. The vampires shocked looked at the perpetrator who attacked Raymond as it was none other than Theodore, "You Fuckers shut up or I will kill all of you!!" He yelled madly as he turned back again at Draco again, trying every healing spell he knew.

"Sigh! What a sight!" Victoria said, "One tries to save the other and the other one does the same as well, even though they have no familial connections between them, wizard-- no humans are really weird."

"I've got it." Elanor suddenly said quickly rushing towards Draco.

Theodore looked at Elanor with vigilance, "I know him and I can save him." Elanor quickly explained to Theodore.

Theodore looked at her for a while and went back to doing his own thing.

"You shouldn't make false promises, Ela." Mordred said.

"It's not a false promise father." Elanore showed him a vial which shined brightly.

Mordred eyes lit up, "Is that--"

"Yes, Father I managed to get it from the Veela's."

"And you want to use it on a human?" Victoria said with her eyes wide open, "We don't know much about the potion, his normal body may not be able to handle it let alone his injured one."

"We know that it is said to even bring the dead back to life," Elanor said with determined eyes. "And he can survive it if I mark him."

"Have you gone mad?" Victoria said, "What are you--"

Mordred raised his hands stopping Victoria, "Are you sure?" He asked looking at Elanor.

Elanor nodded without any hesitation.

"You were the one who found it so it belongs to you, so do whatever you want with it."

"But Father--" The other Vampires said but Mordred shook his head,

"It's her choice."

"Let him drink this." Elanor said to Theodore who was glaring at her, "I am the only chance at saving your friend here or else he will just die."

Theodore knew she was right, nothing was working and this was the last chance at saving him, "I will torture you to death if something bad happens to him." He said walking aside.

Elanora nodded and fed Draco the potion. As soon as she did, Draco's body started shining brightly, engulfing him in light, the scars on his body visibly started disappearing, his hair was turning completely white and his facial structure was changing,

"What the hell was that?" Theodore said shocked seeing what was happening.

"The potion is something called, the essence of Veela." Mordred explained his eyes still on Draco, "The potion is said to have the purest essence collected by every Veela queen open her death. The potion collects in the form of drops so one life of a queen is only worth a single drop of the potion."

Theodore stood there in shock, "What are its uses? Can it really save Draco?"

"I don't know about that but as for your first question-- no one knows about its uses other than the queen herself but the potion as mentioned before is said to have an abnormal healing factor, along with beautifying the person drinking it."

"Beautifying you mean--"

"Yes, It is said that the person starts becoming more and more like a Veela, but to what extent and how that I don't know of."
