What we do for our Selfs and for our love

Being an omega wasn't easy for anyone. Especially for purebloods, they had a specific
and detailed lists for rules regulations and customs to follow deviating or simply thinking differently for that always ended in dishonour or being quietly married off to provincial high lord. If lady luck is on your side, they would send you to a convent at any temple of goddess Hecate and simply forget about you. Muggle omegas would never know the tight rope of customs and tradition pureblood omegas had to walk the rest of their lives. Marriage could not even save omegas sometimes; alphas were fickle and short to anger. Even the most perfect of omegas have found themselves on the streets. Draco had plenty of examples on what would happen to him if he dared think about moving his foot an inch out of line. Aunt Andromeda = disowned and living in poverty according to Aunt Bellatrix and being beaten half to death every night. [this is bs by the way)

Aunt Bellatrix own omega-Rudolphus black nee Lestrange, unable to birth alphas so onto the streets he goes and straight to the whore house. It had been scandalous for
the Lestrange family one of their own tossed out. Good thing high lord Lestrange had empathy in his heart for his child and so he went back to France in distress and dishonour. His children at school had been gobsmacked by the news and wrote letters to their sire Bellatrix to ask her what it meant for them and are they still blacks in which
Bellatrix replied that even she won't throw away her offspring if they do their duty and behave proper.
Most would think that cruel but for purebloods that gentle and most loving on Lady
Alpha Bellatrix Black.

Enough ramblings about the summer and its news. Tomorrow he would board the train at platform 9 ¾ for the last time it's his last year, most purebloods would be with child
or nursing one with another on the way. But since the is over and the Malfoy name is the toilet and the blacks are socially ruined nothing can be done to secure him a match, good match not a pity or cover up match, like all the others. His dam had been very adamant much to Bellatrix's dismay. “His worth will go down; this family is already ruined would you have him rot an old maid “; those were the words he overheard from Aunt Bellatrix shout from the drawing
room when he walked past earlier today. His dam [mother] had been steadfast in not selling him. He was confused. Marrying him would solve half or a quarter of the problem but not the whole of it. At least they would look upon his family calmly
instead of pure hate. he should sleep instead of worrying about it though before the end of this he will be wed that he knows. The train starts to whistle signaling its movement.

Pansy sits next to him in comfortable silence same as it's always been and yet it looks newer somehow. Suddenly the train car exploded in thunderous applause. The saviour harry potter was entering. Harry potter was a fine alpha and overall human being, and not only did he have a rugged beauty to him he was also selfless. Everything an omega wanted in an alpha. Everything Draco wanted in an alpha, but he knows harry would never be his. He would want for
Harry’s touch like as the as the wave want for the moon always pulled but never held. Draco has loved Harry more so after the events of the war. Harry sat down in the compartment closer to the door and on the outer seat, Draco had perfect view of Harry potter, his Harry potter........... But harry would never be his. He knew that and he accepted it. He was also a good omega. He would never covert what is not his. Not even if it's the one thing that he needs.
Draco, Draco! Wake up, stop dreaming about Saint Potter, his with the weaslette and happy. Pansy went on. And I doubt his looking. His not your grandfather, hoarding omegas and all, Pansy chuckled.
Of course, Draco grandpa Cygnus Black had a hoard of omegas pureblood and halfbloods he didn't discriminate of course very progressive some called a whomping 22
omegas who met their end on the streets, some as temple nuns or living quietly as muggles in other countries. Being a single omega wasn't rear only heavily scrutinized
and looked down upon but not rare.
“I am not thinking about him only just think”
“Right”
“I heard Ron’s an omega “
“Hogwash, can't be. He doesn't have a gentle or omegan bone in his body and no one would ever choose to marry him. Plus, I bet they won't even take him as a consort.”
“I know, the weasel is doomed.”

Pansy and I fell into another comfortable silence. This time for the rest of the ride until he reached Hogwarts. I occasionally let myself dream of being the one Harry is laughing
with-smiling towards looking at with undying affection and love. But i am not it's the damned red head who doesn't have half my charm, half my wit or half my money.
In the middle of my rambling harry eyes fell on me. Harry Potter.................my Harry Potter. His eyes they don't shine the same they just look contempt, beige no coloring, even his green doesn't sparkle. They don't have hate nor do they harbor love. he nods at me, only a nod i nod back. I owed after all. I looked towards the window, it hurts to look away but also eye contact with him hurts worse. I don’t want peaceful contempt to look at me but undying love. The love he gives the weaselette.

Entering the great hall felt different, harder, heavier one might say. The first thing he saw were portraits small portraits but with heavy meanings. They were of the fallen.
Every victim of the war was floating up in the air with the candles.
Draco bowed his head in remembrance and most of all in shame. He felt shame. The mark was still on his arm. Dark shade and a stain on his arm and no matter how many times he tried to pretend that it's not there he couldn't.

After the welcome speeches and moments of silence for the forgotten. The feast finally began. Draco sat next to Pansy and and to his left sat blaze. As if it was written in the stars.as soon as he sat up and looked straight ahead--Harry Potter was in his field of vision. His Harry Potter was staring at him....., but he wasn't. Harry was looking at Ginny who was telling him a funny story, he think and hus laughing. How could his Harry laugh at anything that red annoyance has to say. But a deeper part of him knew that Harry and Ginny would end up together. That was what the stars had written and who was Draco to argue with the will of the heavens.

Draco wanted nothing more than for red annoyance to be a framed portrait floating with the candles.
Draco stopped his thoughts when the food appeared, yes he will hate and plot on the weaselette but not now. Now Draco will eat.

"Zabini"
"You're a sight for sore eyes, where were you".
"Pansy, can I sit down".
"My stomach is howling at me"
Draco chuckles at his friends reply, at least one thing had not changed. Blase was looking dashing as always, it's like he had grown handsome but his Harry was still champion.
"Draco, still pinning on Potter the saint I see"
Aren't you the spying owl. And I am not pinning on Potter just staring at what's infront of me"

"Of course you are, and what's infront of you just happened to be Potter ay." Blaise and Pansy burst into a charming laughter. This sense of normality was confronting towards them. Since Blaise left before the battle of Hogwarts for his stepfathers funeral. He had written to anyone yet. Probably Mrs Zabini's instructions. You can't fault tye poor mother.

But his back now and that's what matters. They are gonna be here for each other now. However short their time is doesn't matter. They are gonna make the best of it.

After dinner the are sorted in their rooms based on secondary gender instead of primary. Omegas with omegas and alphas with other knotheads. In the Slytherin dorms Blase shares a dorm with Theodore Nott and Two others.
"Ayy Zabin'i did ya hea, the Weasley cunt is an omega."
"Oh yes I heard."
Do you think he a crier
"Don't know but I do want to know if the curtain matches the drapes, if you understand me"

"Ohhhhhh ,Zab ye re dirty dog Aren't ya"
"Of course he is " Nott chimed in. Man's got to pop a knot no?
"Ahhhhh, Nott how didnr your fancy arse not in Azkaban"
"Thought you liked that mudblood business?
"Mhmmm don't know"
Lady luck was on my side I guess.
The room bust out in laughter.
Blaise was busy fixing his pillows when Nott asked a question.
"So Zabini, who has a better cunt Parkinson or Malfoy". The room went quite. The three boys waited in baited breath for Blaise's answer.
"Your mom, she cries alot though I might say". I like my birches quiet and grunting.
The two boys looked back at Nott and laughed themselves half to death.
"Very funny Zabini" Blaise only smiled nothing more nothing less. Blaise recent step father was Notts third uncle they close he heard. To bad the man loved a widow and so he left her as such. Maybe his still sour about the death Zabini thought to himself. Who cares. If he was smart he wouldn't have tempted a black widow.

"So back to Weasley," yelled Blaise. "Do you think Saint "Potter is cracking the sorry ginger".
"No way isn't he with the sister."
"I heard they broke up " Blaise looked at the boys suprised The weaselette and the Saint broke up. Lady magic might favor Draco after all.
"Where did you here that"
Siter in first year said one of the boys. Apparently Ginny was seen with Luna Lovegood. In the stall, which is scandalous considering the lunatic was an alpha. How that one became an alpha the maybe due to Lady Magic's sense of humor.

Draco fixed up his bed and kneeled on his shrine in devotion to Lady magic hands clapsed tight together he said a prayer in his heart.
"Lady Magic, Goddess Hecate. Hear me your child I pray to you please. You know what's in my heart and you are merciful. Please give me the magic and strength.

Draco stood up and Pansy was right behind him.
"Perfect little omega"
"Sod off Alerie".
"It not Draco's fault you decided to act like a muggle omega, "you knew what you were doing"
Alerie Prewett same year as us. In 6th year she decided to fall in love with a muggle from a boarding school near her house. Turns out muggle alphas are the same as pureblood alphas. Not her fault her fell for a sliver tongued snake. Instead of marrying her. He went about his life. Aunt Bellatrix had thrown a fit over the matter has Alerie and Draco were in quiditch together in 5th year. Thinking that Alerie's "loose morals" would influence pure innocent Draco. Unbeknownst to her Draco had been in makeout sessions with older omegas from hufflepuff. Both of them were purebloods so merlin help either of them if it got out.

Alerie was used and no longer pure according to Bellatrix. But Draco saw no wrong in what she had done, the poor thing fell head over heals in love. It could never be him though
"Lets go to bed"
"Damn you Malfoy" she sniped.
Draco ignored her. He had a lot of thought on his mind. First how would he deal with the red head annoyance from hell and second he prayed to Lady Magic that Aunt Bellatrix found him a match not from hell but a good alpha who will love him and cherish him and who looks like Harry Potter.

He knows his asking for too much.
Atleast he has his dreams. His dreams bring him comfort

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

Ron could not for the life of him believe it. He was an omega not that theirs anything wrong with being an omega but he already knew his role and himself and what he was supposed to do. But that all changed after the war ended. And his brother died. He wasn't okay no one was okay not Harry not him, mom nor Ginny.

But now he was more confused than ever, its easy being a beta, no rut nor heat envoled just neutral scent and relaxing ride on the easy street of life. But now their's protaocal, honor, dresses blundy dresses. This was easy for someone like Malfoy some who was born and the first thing people saw was an omega and straight away put him in those omega wellness and Our Immaculate Honor classes they throw those poor omegas in to fix them up.

Not Ron no ,no he was roughhousing with alphas and Kidwonder Eementary School for Magical Children. Now he cant go out with out a chapperone, he cant trust anyone and has to be aware of everyone he has to go to Our Immaculate Honor classes hosted by the pinnicle of wizarding world stereotypical omega Dumbledore.
These classes are hell. The only nice people there were Ginny and Neville. Poor Neville tho engaged to that Slytherin prat Nott. But this isnt about him.

The omegas their dont even help me calling me a failure and wierdo and all. But atleast i have Ginny.
"I can't believe we are sharing a dorm"
"Me either"
" I am ano omega now and were family, so it makes sense"
" yeah"
Ron replied but he wasn't happy. Ginny looked at him with a saddens but she knew Ron would make it work. He would find a way to get back to himself again.
"Ginny i am glad i am roomin with you"
"Same Ron"

"Its not bad you know"
"What"
"Its not that bad" ginny replied. She took a breath.
"Being an omega. Its not that bad. But you know its not easy. Nothing is easy anymore."
" You're struggling with your new secondary gender "
" I am here Ron "
"Good night "

Ron didnt answer the tear just flowed. Ginny heard the sniffles and decided to keep quiet. Ron had to do this he had to cry it out. The world wont be kind and ignorant to his behavior anymore. They would scrutinize and break him down and he needed to be strong. She felt bad for him. Brother and sister, they love each other but would rather burn themselves alive than say it out loud.
Neville's snoring broke Ginny's train of thought. Wierd that he was here. Ginny thought once omegas got engaged it was finished and they would just stay at home but she guessed Neville's Alpha was progressive in a way but she knew by this time next year Neville will be popping out a babe and a month later carrying again. This was the wizarding world and Neville was a pureblood like her, like Ron and the other omegas expect some half bloods and most if not all muggleborns.
Ginnys eyes started to feel heavy. She closed her eyes and thanked Lady Magic for looking after her and her family and her dear brother Fred.

Chapter Text

It's one thing to return to school after the war. But it's another to return and be hopelessly head over heals enamored by a death eaters daughter. Harry says it's fine and too look past it. Hermione does but come on no Slytherin wants to lock lips with the chosen ones best friend. Harry and Hermione were Alphas and true too Alpha fashion. They were roomed together with Seamus and one of the Partil twins . God forbid you ask Harry which one is which.

Hermione kept thinking about her dilemma and what that meant to her. No she thought that she couldn't do that to Ron. With his brother and all.

"Good night Harry"
"G' night Mione". The lights were off maybe tomorrow it will be better. Mione thought to herself.
Harry work up once he was certain of Hermiones deep sleep. He stood up went to his dresser and in his back hid a small sack in the sack he pulled out a couple of allergie pills. Harry wasn't allergic to anything. He read the back.
"Causes Drowsiness"
He took two. And then lay awake in his bed. Despite the smile and the glow in his eyes. Harry found it difficult to sleep. Particularly if he keeps seeing dead people in his sleep. His fallen allies. He still felt guilty about it. The war. He still felt that it's all his fault.

His alarm rang and he could hear a blow dryer in the the distance. Probably Seamus. Always fusing about his hair and such. Hermione might already be done. And book ready for the day to start.
The sorry man was just getting out of bed. Harry threw himself slowly of the bed.
"Rough Night--Potter".
"Yeah Partil"
"Where's Mione"
"I think she went down. Talked about going to the library to double check something".
That's mione allright.
Harry finally stretched and stood up. Took his toiletries and off to the eighth year bathrooms he went. The showers were still hot, must be one of the perks of being either year. Harry's routine was simple. Shower shave a little. Dash some lotion and a fragrance. Then perfect. His hair .., he let in hair dry. Harry was done.

Hermione came back the bursting through the door. She must not have gotten what she was looking for in the library. Who could blame her.

"Shall we go down then"
"Yes". Harry after Hermione. The walked down the stairs. Good morning Harry and Hermione. Was all they heard. Harry greeted back of course. "I can't believe the classes have finally started". Mione voice had a plea in it that maybe things will go back normal. If that was possible.
They made they way towards the great hall. As if rehearsed the hall was quiet and had a mournful atmosphere. The floating portraits. He looked up and saw Fred's then he looked down again. The guilt.
Harry felt a hand on his shoulder. It was Ginny. She was smiling at him. A soft smile almost telling him it's gonna be okay. He didn't know how Ginny could do it. How she looked almost okay despite everything. Deep down Harry knew Ginny had her own struggles. 

As the students gathered in the great hall for breakfast and the receiving of mail from fretting parents and such. Draco walked in to see Harry-- his Harry staring at that poor bred red annoyance. He hated Ginny for the small fact that she had Harry's attention. Harry's according to him. 

Draco scowled at the back of Ginny's head. Harry felt someone looking at him. He raised his head up from Ginny and saw Draco. He looked different his hair was longer and he was still short. Harry gave him a nod a small smile and sat down with Ginny at the Gryffindor table. Draco felt angry, robbed and overall powerless. He knew that Harry Potter would never be his and that was that. Draco found his seat and began eating across from him was Pansy who looked like she had taken a dive of the astronomy tower. She looked frazzled. "Pansy what happened to you". She looked up at him and looked down on her food then looked back at Draco. "Nothing" . 

Nothing, thats it thats what she said. Nothing. Draco didnt believe that. "Did one of the Alpha students." Draco trailed of but didnt say anything more. Blasie frowned and looked at her. Awaiting her answer. "No, merlin no. I just bumed into Granger". Pansy said it with a little chuckle but they weren'tconvinced,  its not rare for a for a Alpha to take an omega without said omegas consent. "She nearly made he snog the floor in the hurry she was." 

"Did she apologize". Blaise asked. The question was laced with a promise to pronce on Granger if the answer was not an yes. She apologized you guys everything is fine. Pansy gave a soft smile and told Draco to drop it or she'll tell Potter about Draco's crush. 

Pansy turned around and her eyes locked in with Harmione's eyes. Shyly she looked away and began eating her breakfast. The owls come in with mails, they are finally getting their letters. 

Draco got his and as expected, one from Azkaban, another from Aunt Bellatrix and non from mom. She must be busy or something. 

Dear Bellatrix letter read the same thing she always rambles about. 'Be good', 'stay pure','dont humiliate us further'. He just stared at it if she has nothing to say why write at all. The one from Azkaban, from father, he wrote to just wish him luck and happines. Draco smiled upon the letter. It eaised his heart a little. 

First period was about to start and Draco rushes to potions. He quickly takes his seat and finds out that he was little bit early. So he could take a breather and unpack his potion making instruments. While the rest of the students slowly filled the class. Professor slughorn enters the class in an less than cheerful mood. Nobody blames him. 

Potter comes in late, even though he wasnt late for breakfast."Mister Potter" . Slughorn said it with an exhausting sigh the made no sense for the first period they were in. "So sorry Professor". Harry scanned the room looking for an empty seat his eyes found one next to Malfoy. 

Poor Draco was taken aback by the swift manner Harry had taken to claim the seat next to him. Draco looked at Harry. Then softly, "Harry". 

Harry looked back at him. "Malfoy". Draco was still Malfoy to Harry. He was Malfoy. Draco held his tongue and focused on his work. On the other end of the class Neville sat screen the new textbook they had for 8th year. Quietly interested in the context of the book. 

Unaware that Nott just switched seats and now he was seating next to him. Nott took his hand and sheepishly held Neville's thigh. Neville did not like this. But he held his tongue. The courage he had during the war was no more.he couldn't summon it for some reason. He just looked down and didn't say anything or breath a breath of relief until Nott removed his hands. "Why so solemn" he wrote it down on a piece of parchment. Neville took a quick glance at him and then whispered quietly "nothing". 

Neville Longbottom. Pureblood Omega. He was raised by his grandmother, common sense can help you figure out her views on omegas. The Longbottoms being the last few pureblood families. Neville's grandmother was for tradition and old pure blood customs. So when Neville turned 14 she was on the hunt for prospects and she found them. Grandma Longbottom, was engaged at 10 married at 14 a mother by16 and a grandmother by 36 due to the torture and dead of her son by voldemort. Life hadnt been kind but she got the last laugh as she would say. Her husband dead, his money was now hers and she was using it to her hearts content. This didnt not mean that she would be progressive in her views. 

Omegas still had to get married, thats the only way for them to be proper in society. Those were grandmother's view and that was her will. Ever since he was fourteen Neville knew that he had to marry and bare pureblood heirs to his Alpha. Being engaged was not the hard part. Being engaged to Theodore Nott was like an Azkaban sentence waiting excution-his wedding day. Its not that he hated Nott, no omegas must not hate their Alphas. Its just that Nott was not kind or caring or a good human being. He mad crude comments no omega should hear. Touched him when he shouldn't have. All honor ruining things. If an Alpha does these types of things he can also force an omega to submit and then...... 

Neville didnt want to think of such horrors, dishonouring his grandma and being put out. Oh no. All he can do now is go through with it maybe he can be like his parents an arrangement that grew to a loving marriage. 

"I want to touch your cunt"

Nott whispered  such crude words in his ear. This was beyond hellish.

Chapter Text

Neville hated him. No he clearly didnt understand the Alpha. Omegas could not hate their Alphas. No omega could it was scandalous to even think like that.

"You okay Neville". Said Dean.He only nodded and blurt out a yes. Dean wasnt convinced tho. Why would Nott of all people sit next to Neville. He was an omega, but he was still Neville.
Dean let it go and packed his bags heading to the next class. Neville was quietly following but that was wierd because the next class was herbology and Neville was bonkers for this subject. He would ask later at the dorms. Right now did not seem like the time of the place for such a conversation.

Second period was muggle studies. Which had become a requirement after a the war. The muggleborns and halfbloods dont typically struggle but for purebloods, some thought it was a humilation ritual. You would wonder why they thought this way. Did they side with Voldemort, some of them did. While others Voldemort was a halfblood and despicable.
The common attitude among the purebloods was the war should have never happened if bloodmixing did not happen. To them their was no need for interblood marriages why cant people stay in their own lanes. Nevile's own grandmother had thought this way.

The seating arrangements in this class was wierd as well. Very known member of a pureblood family sent with a muggleborn in class. And so...Pansy Parkinson was sat with Hermione Granger. Pansy felt nothing , she thought this was just a formality, a punishment if you will.

Hermione was battling an internal conflict. Being cordial was one thing but being friendly. A whole other ball park.
"Morning". Granger said quietly. Pansy only nod back and smiled while the Professor explained the why the class was a requirement as if the students werent aware. Pansy payed her no mind. Not as an Alpha nor a person. A small part of Granger knew this and it hurt a little--she was determined though, that omega will see her as a potential mate. Too bad the omega didn't care for the muggleborn.

Class was over and Hermione thought this was the perfect time to strike up a conversation. The first step to getting her crush. "Parkinson".She turned around. Eyes narrowing, mind not caring and wishing she coud be else where. "Granger". Hermione swallowed, nervous. "Want to be study mates". It was like Pansy didnt hear her right. Study mates. Now this must be the end of the world. One of Saint Potters disciples, was asking her pureblood Pansy to be study mates for a class that she had no interest in other then meeting a quota.
"Uhm, that would be agreeable". Harmione's heart had stopped beating like drum. Parkinson agreed and thats all that matters now to step two of the plan. Make her a friend.
"Thank you, the library table 4 every Thursday".
"Thursdays i have Our Immaculate Honor classes". Oh shoot how could she forget Ron had those same classes, she didnt prepare enough. "Okay then fridays". Pansy nodded yes and that was that.

Hermione was ecstatic. Now she had to catch to Harry and tell him of her amazing feat today. Hermione walked out of the class in jmping happiness. Pansy was more reserved, her mind rushing and wondering what the muggleborn was planning. Is this a spy plot from the the Wizerdgemont to keep an eye on the purebloods. It must be. Pansy had her self convinced. Another trait she shared with her best friend Draco. An overthinking mess. Always coming up with their own conclusionsand never fact checking anything.

Pansy walked to her next class in shock, maybe after this they could reconvene at lunch. The normal year pansy wanted was no on life support. She had to tell Draco of this. Speaking of Draco the poor thing is still in shock. From Harry sitting next to him two hours ago in first period. The poor omega was a red blushing mess you would think he was in heat. Atleast he wore scent patches or else every Alpha in his raidus would have a plausible defense in court.
At least it would be lunch soon.

_____________________________________________

Lunchtime, Everyones favorite part of the day. Pansy sat with her friends at lunch and began to detail her classes. The same as all the years before honestly. Boring a bit bland, oh wait. Granger. "So something weird happened".
She started. Look towards her friends who were scoffing food down. They only looked at her. "Granger invited me to a study group for our muggle class". Both of them looked at her like she spoke a dead language while simultaneously growing two heads. "When". They asked. Still eating and gawking at her. "Thursday". Draco still gawking told her she can't. "Thats our OIH days, Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays 'member Pans". Pansy had a sour expression on her face."I know that Draco".
"I told her Fridays, and you all are coming". Their eyes widened. .

"Don't rope us into this". Pansy looked at Draco and then smirked. "Draco dear, you know where ever Granger is ...........Saint Potter is bound to be there as well right". Draco just quietly looked her down. "Pansy dear, where Granger is , is where Potter is and also that red head annoying weaselette".
Draco didnt want to hang out with Harry if that Ginger was there. He would rather just stay in his room and study by himself.
D
"Draco come to one session".Pansy begged him. Draco thought it throught for his friend. "Okay just one".
Pansy then looked at Blaise who had been awfully quiet.
"Blaise, you're in ... right".
"Of course, only if Ron is there". The two omegas looked at him and rolled their eyes. "Blaise , are thinking about making a pass at Ronald Weasley". Draco asked with pure fascination. Blaise only smiled. Of course he was.

They prayed for the poor boy onces Blaise was done with him. Because even if Blaise was like a brother and friend to them. He was still an Alpha and the other omegas were free game. This wasn't the first time Blaise plotted on an omega. He was expert in this game of love, thank to Mrs Zabini. Blasie didn't hold mating an marriage in high regard those were businesses to him so to say and Blaise was a prodigy in this game.

"Blaise, he just presented give him time to adjust then have your fun. Blaise only looked at him. "If get close to the Weasley omega, I can make an opening for you with Saint Potter". Draco kept quiet as if he was contemplating it. "Draco no!
"We were taught that only honorless omegas steal an Alpha from another Omega". Draco heard her but she didn't listen to her. This was the luck he prayed for. The chance he didn't not deserve and Lady Magic had answered.
Blaise promise me you will succeed in your twisted plan. Pansy couldn't belive it. Her friends were absolutely mad.

Announcement:
All members of the Our Immaculate Honor club are to meet today after classes. They will be exempt from study time. Thank you.

As if on cue all omegas sighed. Nobody liked the OIH. It's mandatory and not skippable for all omegas. "I can believe this" . Some said frustrated. That club upheld everything wrong with society for omegas. Any omega who like it must be completed off their rockers or on meds, omega go good meds. The worst kind. The pills make you docile ,'agreeable' and overall the perfect omega.

This eating was going to be torture and every omega felt it specifically Ron. This would be his first school meeting. The boy was sweating. What would they do to h there. "Ron , it's a welcome back meeting not an interrogation at Azkaban". Ginny voiced out.
"It's just formal stuff and introductions, I can understand your worry some omegas won't be kind, but others will". Ron's heart beat steady after that. But he was still nervous. He did not want to be at that meeting.

Neville hated these meeting, his probably gonna be told to focus on his appearance then herbology and he did not like that. Plus the instructor was always prudish . He hoped news of his engagement had reached the instructor, who was he kidding it already has. Such a thing was hardly kept under wraps. Engaged omegas received some special treatment but they will be asked when the wedding is. How's your dress gonna look. Whose the Alpha, what's he like. All that sort of crap. That was what his holiday was like for the past years. He thought that with the recent war, his relationship status would change. Other couples had protected each other but Neville had been alone.Nott had ignored him to hell and back. Probably had another omega. He wasnt blind they were rumors, but granny said thats how Alphas are and they need to get it out of their systems before marriage so he did as she said and paid no mind. .

Chapter Text

Harry enjoyed lunch. Who didn't enjoy food
He also enjoyed seeing his friends happy and Ron didnt look happy. He knew why, fred, him presenting all the things that made Ron restless all day everyday. "You good mate, i can help skip the OIH club if you want". Ron felt as if Lady Magic herself had come down and granted him the knowledge of Merlin. "Of course mate, anything for you. Ron smiled at Harry.
This was perfect. But he had promised Ginny and Ginny was looking at him while chewing loudly. She swallowed and drank some orange. "Really Ron".
"Sorry Ginny". He looked at Harry and Harry understood immediately and the issue was solved.

The period after lunch was about to start when. Ron double checked his schedule and saw that he has a free period. Just what he needed on the first day. Hermione disapproved though. Saying he should come to advanced Astronomy. It was separated from herbology in 5th year. Hermione simply said that Ron should use this time for studying, Ron will not he doing that. He didnt know what he was gonna do he would figure it out. Harry and Hermione left the great hall to their respective classes and Ron was left with the others sitting alone. His mind was racing when a figure suddenly came up to him and hovered over him. He lifeted his head up. And then saw Zabini. That prat thought Ron come to stare and gloat probably.
"I am not so childish". He looked at him dead in the eyes and shocked to his core. He read Ron's mind the prat read my mind. "I can't read minds but i know what you would think seeing my self trying to socialize with the likes of you". The last part had Ron confused. "Likes of me". He repeated atleast Zabini was still well Zabini.

"Leave me alone". Zabini stared at him like he was mad. The great heir Zabini had spared time to greet this person and Ron tells him to leave. "Weasley your manners need polishing". Ron looked up at him and calmly in Ron's own fashion. "Zabini i will polish my shoe down your throat". Zabini smirked at him.
"Huh you are fiesty". Like a muggle omega Zabini thought. He would like Ron. Maybe invite the poor fellow to his family estate in italy. Merlin knows the poor omega never experienced such finery and class. Look at the way he speaks.

Ron stared at him and groaned grabing his bag and books to go to the library. Zabini watched him walk away. He had a free period too as Lady luck would have it. Wow Ron and him are destined even if Ron needs reeducation in the class department.

"Ahh Weasley, look at that I am also going to the library". Ron groaned in annoyance. Its true what they say Alphas are allergic to leaving omegas alone. "Do what you want". Was all Ron said making his way to the library. Zabini in tow. He must write to himself was what Ron thought.

As they reached the library looked for an empty table settled diwn and just sat in silence. "What do you want". Ron broke the silence. Zabini looked at him. Smirked again and said nothing. This irritated him to no end. He wanted to leave but found himself being lazy and it was the first day. Merlin help him. "Are you spoken for". Right to the point. Thats Zabini for you. "No". He looked down when he said that. A hint of embrassement maybe. Poor or nor Ron was an omega in the wizarding world. And there are certain things omegas his age should have done already. "Why not".
Zabini pressed. "I've just presented mate still getting comfortable in my own body before i get hitched". That was fair. But Ron's family were poor and also disgraced its surprising but Zabini thought there might be an muggle Alpha on the side. "Not even a muggle". Ron just stared at hime blankly. "No".
"Do you want to speak for me". Ron just smiled at him. This wasn't so bad but he still thought that zabini was a prat.
"Yes I do". This suprised Ron and also angered him. Was he making fun of him. He didnt know what to think but he knew the boy wasnt genuine. Only a wanker would trust a Zabini in matters of the heart. The prats own mother was widowed more times than one should and he wont be Zabinis first victim no sir he wont.
"Are you having a go at me mate".
"I wouldnt dare". As he said that the free period ended and the acutally had class this time divination.
"We should sit together".
"Buzz off mate".

_______________________________

Harry was taking Advanced astronomy, his something new for the new year. A new skill younwould say and Draco was also in this class. This was not suprising to Harry though as he thought Malfoy was always intelligent even though he acted like a straight arse half the time. But this time Malfoy is different. His changed but war does that to people. Its not uncommon. Oh mayhe Harry thought he was growing into his omega urges or something.
He sat next to Hermione for comfort sake and Draco was in fornt of him. Class went off without a hitch but Harry knew he would have to study extra to reach a passing grade. " Hermione can study with me " . Hermione knew this class was challenging. Half why she suggested it. "Are we still on for tonight. We got to study the histroy of magic together with ron". Harry had forgot that Ron would be in that meeting. He hopes Ron's okay being alone on his freebie like this and no one bothers him. Harry Potter was oblivious to alot of things bit not to the things that affected his friends.
But Ginny would be with him. Ginny and him broke things off mutually of course. Shes with Luna now. They make an odd pare. But they are happy and that is what matters. "Mione , do you think I will date again". Hermione was shocked partly because Harry had no issue with his singleness before. "Of course you just havent found them yet they could be walking in front of you". Harry thought Harmione was a good friend just what he need to hear. But in front of him that was funny, because the only person that was infront of him was Draco.

Draco was in shock, Harry Potter was single again and he had to act fast. If word got out every single omega in Britain would have their own go at him and Harry was his. Not theirs .His, his Harry.

Chapter Text

This was a sign that Draco needed one sign and this was it. Everythings as if by divine intervention was working in his favour. Harry wasn't with Ginny. He was single. This information sent him into a spiral. All he needed now was a chance and he remembered Pansy study invite. If Harry was going to be there then so was he. "Pansyy!!!". Draco screamed in sing song. "You are Godsent". Pansy knew what brought on this new change in attitude.

Draco's dear Saint Potter was now single. Guess the rumors were true. Pansy knew about the rumors but fidnt say anything towards Draco. She didnt want the poor boy to spiral. Merlin knows he already does just by making eye contact with Harry. Pansy couldn't care less about Potter. She had to think about her future now. Her Mother had sent a letter detailing that an French Alpha was interested in her and wanted to make a meeting so one was sent for the 4th day of the Easter Weekend. She wasn't thrilled nor scared it was just duty to her.

"I got letter of interest Draco". This suprised him really. "From who".
"A French Alpha". His name was French she didn't try to remember it at all. She'll deal with it later. Now she has school to worry about. "Don't worry I am sure he is kind". "Sure", was all she said. Draco didnt think Pansy was all interested in marriages and mating at all. He thought after before the war that she was the type to get sent to the temples in Rome. But now her family has had a change of heart. Pansy had to Wed. Her sister had made a run for it with a muggle and rumor has it she dead now. To say theirs truth in those rumors would be stretching it. Oh what did he know anyway. Aunt Bellatrix was cooking up a match for him and he knows, all he prays is that his a bit progressive in his views and isn't like Aunt Bellatrix.

Thinking about Aunt Bellatrix was exhausting probably because he didn't like her. Oh right, he thought to himself Harry was now single and he had to act fast. He couldn't wait for Friday to come. That's all he wanted a chance to make the first move. He knew if he didn't someone else will. Draco would sometimes wonder if he told his mom and aunt about his feelings for Potter, would they help him. No even he knew that was to foolish. Bellatrix would probably lock him up in Grimmuald place and marry him off far away for even thinking of being with a halfblood like Potter. Why couldn't Potter be a pureblood.
Things were just unnecessary hard for him. Fir all omegas he supposed. He had that stupid meeting tonight he already forgot. Guess his got to prepare for that.

__________________________________________

Our Immaculate Honor had a dress code. You had to be modest and wear your robs and hair had to be neatly styled, preferably long. But things were different only a few Omegas had long hair. Draco cut his during his father's trial. Bellatrix had been livid. His mom not caring like she's been given the unforgivable curse. Pansy's cut hers after Draco did. Neville was growing it out, probably because his engaged now. Ginny's was mid length. Ron's same Draco and Pansy too short. He had been told to grow it out but in protest cut it again during the break.
Most girls and boys left it long but not Victorian long like their mother's and grandma and grand-dam.

"So omega of Hogwarts, I welcome you to the first meeting of the OIH".
"Here you will learnhow to be the proper and perfect omegas for the future of the wizardingworld". Their was a lack positivity in the room. Some rolled their eyes and others slouched not caring at all. "You all will sit perfectly posed". The instructor cast a spell making us all sit in a circle away from the round tables, she was in the center of course.

"Omegas, do you have news to share".She asked like she didn't know. This was going to be a long meeting and no one wanted it to be a long meeting. "Neville Longbottom, I heard you got a match and you're growing out your hair". Everyone looked at Neville. Neville did not want people to look at him especially not for this reason. "Come now speak up. Tell your fellow omegas whose the lucky Alpha". He really didn't want too honestly, he knew they would pity him so he just mumbled incoherently while everyone was look at him still. " Don't be shy it's, a good thing for you should I say it. She asked permission so that counts for something he guessed. "Our fellow club member is engaged to none other than Theodore Nott isn't that fantastic". The room continued to look at him. Wow this was. Really uncomfortable for him. "Good for you mate". Ginny was the first to speak. Ron looked at her. He didn't know much about Nott but he knew Neville and Neville was not Notts type and he didn't even know Nott personally like that. It was obvious though. "Yeah what Ginny said". Everyone just nodded along. The Slytherines had a wierd expressing on their faces. As if saying poor him in a way. The boy didn't know what kind of person Nott was. But compared to other pureblood Alphas he was well the same as Blaise or the rest of them.

"Omegas you need to be more like Neville". After this statement eyes were narrowed at Neville and he so wanted this to end. "His quiet, protects his dignity and honor, Alerie you could learn a thing or two". Alerie just scoffed, the widowed old bat didn't know a thing about her yet she was speaking about. Ron couldn't believe this. Was this a way to keep them in line he dreaded his turn that's for sure. If she found fault in Alerie who Ron considers a perfect omega what more him. He would rather face a whomping willow again. "Omegas need to be pure, that's why Nevile has a fiance and some not all will be lucky if you get any". This was as expected no one was suprised except Ron. These meetings were 50 percent passive aggression, 40 percent fear mongering and 10 percent gossip. Atleast the gossip was juicy. Who told her all this lord knows but people do talk.

"Ginny you and Potter are over I heard". Oh Ginny what did you do wrong. You should have tried better or made him happy more. This lady was off the rockers Ron concluded. She doesn't know what happened and she immediately blamed the omega so typical. He hated this." Ginny didn't do anything, it was mutual". Ron was not going to let his sister be painted as the bad guy by anyone and certainly not this loony witch. "Oh Ron, we raise our hand to speak". She had that smile, so passive but you can tell she meant something else. Like Umbrigdes smile. That's right it's that twat's Umbridge's smile, so sinister. "Sorry, I meant that's not what happened". Ron couldn't understand for the life of him why his overly confident sister was quiet. "Ron, stop".
"Continue Ron". The instructor told he to continue, but he didn't want to anymore. "It's nothing miss". The instructor was really pressing this issue. Why was she so interested in personal relationships. She got Neville, that had been posted that he was engaged but not to who buy the Daily Prophet.

"Ron I understand that being an omega, a late bloomer is hard but their are rules you have to live by now". Ron bowed his head and apologized for his behavior. He didn't want to. Now he just embarrassed himself in front of the others, those other omegas are gonna discuss this like front page news. He learning.

"You won't get an Alpha by acting like this and I suggest you find omega friends no Alpha wants an omega with two Alphas for best friends". This came as a shock to Ron. Its one thing to pry into personal relationships and being a passive aggressive Sod. But telling him to ditch Harry and Hermione, no this had gone to far and he won't stand for it. "Understood Ronald". She said it in that baby's voice instead of the Dolores Umbridge voice. This one was worse. "No Miss". This seemed to shock the room. They all looked at him now. "Ron don't, this isn't worth it". Ginny tried to whisper her argument. Ron ignored her and looked her in her dead eyes. This women was the type of omega let Alphas do everything they want and still blame it on omegas. Heck an Alpha could tell her the bloody sky is green and she would believe it even while looking at a blue sky. She was a complete Sod.

"Ron, you should behave in this class". "Punishment will be severe". Ron faced off against death eaters , helped fight Voldemort, a omega missing braincells wasn't going to do anything to him. " Of course miss". Everyone in the room could pick off on the sarcasm. A few chuckled and giggled. But most knew what was coming. The instructor fought her battles with words and gossip a proper omega.
"Okay then since this is humorous". Oh no they knew that tone. "Ron, you should have been quiet". Ginny whispered. She couldn't save Ron now.

"Stand up Ron". Ron looked around and slowly stood up. He thought nothing of it. Even scoffing. "Draco come up as well". Draco did not want this. This 'exercise' was made to foster competition in omegas by making them see each other as competition. Good omega bad omega was the official name.

"Good, good". This was not good everyone knew this was not good
"Omegas". She screeched. This was definitely not said in a nice way. "What's wrong with these two. Mmh , anyone." No one said anything. They didn't want to but they had to, everyone one knew.
'Well, Our Draco here is a perfect example for an omega. Draco bowed his head. "Thank you Miss". That's what he said. Wow he hadn't changed as much as Ron had thought. "Ron here is well unfornate looking. His the type of omega, Alphas well use for their rut". Ron simply looked at her with anger. How could she. How could you say something like that about a person. But it was something he already knew and he hated that he knew this. Now it's confirmed.

"Mouthy, red headed, freckles good lord. Maybe those two Alphas will take pity, but I doubt. Don't you think so too right". This was why no one liked to be here. Some felt sorry for the poor bloke. The first year's and those die hard puritan omegas could see the reason for Ron's dissection like this. He should have kept quiet and listened. But Ron's family couldn't afford a Governess or nanny for him. Plus he's a late bloomer. Already doomed. Draco felt sorry for him though. No one deserved this. No one should be compared to anyone. He can't imagine the hurt Ron's feeling. But to Draco, Ron should have held his tongue. He hoped Blaise would train him well. Atleast he was trained.

Ron just stood there. He heard whispers. 'Should bit his tongue'. 'Untrained'. 'His poor what do you expect'. Ron's focus was Ginny he didn't carr for the whispers. Is this why his siter looked defeated all the time. Why she kept her head down. These rich prats. "Maybe since the Saviour Harry Potter is single, he'll take you".
Pansy giggled. Draco shot up and looked at Ron whose eyes were on Ginny. Never he would never allow it. Best friends or not. Harry was Draco and that was certain if not he will carve it into truth. "Parkinson, what funny". "Nothing miss, just a sore throat". Ron's pain was funny to them he thought. The giggle just know to Ron felt like a slight against him, of course she found this funny, she's rich like them with all the proper training unlike him.

Chapter Text

Ron didnt know what he expected to be honest. That they would be kind and sensitive to his situation maybe, why would they be. They were not his friends at all. How could they be. "Don't be down Ronald all you need is a magical tune up then even some like you will be irresistible". Ron knew that was bullocks though. "Like Draco here, beautiful even with that horrid hair and some chubbines". Ron looked at Draco. If Draco was chubby then he was a cow being an omega wasn't easy at all. Draco looked at Ron and mouthed sorry, he doubted Ron would appreciate it though. "Yes Miss", Ron said this with his last bit of dignity and self-esteem. The instructor saw that he was defeated and then told them to sit down. Standing in the middle of the semi circle she began yodling on about how they were they future of the wizardingworld and have to set examples to the younger years and such. Everyone was absolutely done with this women." Okay ,youre all dismissd". Remember the schedule is not changed you need to be here on given days. Ron dear, stay a bit". Ron obliged.

"I know youre having a tought time adjusting to your new secondary gender and all ever since your presentation. Thats why your mother wrote to me, asking me to prepare you for the world Ron. This is all for you understand." Mom had written to her Ron thought. She is trutly worried. He cant disappoint her no matter what. He couldn't do that to mum. "So Ron you understand why i have to be strict with you. Good talk".Ron nodded and thanked her. Everyone had quickly escaped and he was left in the room. He walked to the door and saw Neville and Ginny waiting for him. "Ron, mate you okay". Neville asked him worried. I guess he would be. "Don't listen to her and dont take it too heart".
"The instructor is always doing such slimey shite". He made his case so the other omega wont be too affected but even he knew that the dameage was already done. "Ron we're sorry, she's abit to much and she covers for Dumbledore sometimes." Ginny tried to get threw to her brother. But she could sadly see that this was to much even for him.

"I have snacks im my cheat back at my room, do you want a cookie Ron". Neville looked up at his friend and get his hopes up atleast candy always cheered him up. Maybe it will do the same for Ron. "Sure Neville". Ron ,Ginny and Neville made their way the Gryffindor tower and sat on Neville's bed each with a peace of chocolate and quirtly biting into it this was nice. After that disastrous class, this was one of the worst first days ever. Ron thought. At least dinner was soon.

That was a typical class for other omegas but Draco and Pansy thought Ron was traumatized right about now. Poor bloke couldn't catch a break but they both agreed that he should've made the smart decision not to get snarky." Atleast my Harry is up for the taking now". Pansy rolled her eyes. He was still on this. She cant say didnt expect it. "So you're gonna make your move on Potter ".
Of course he was why was she eveing asking.

"That instructor was bonkers, imagine Harry going out with Weasley. " Harry snicked. His Harry had standards after all it didnt matter that they were best friends. Draco outclassed the redhaired by the looks alone. Lets not even talk about his wealth. No competition. Pandy looked at her best friend. No matter how progressive she thought the blond he would still revert to his internalised pureblood ideologies. Maybe he couldn't help it like Blaise. Who know maybe living with Bellatrix Lestrange was partly to blame. " Draco you know Harry doesnt see you that way right". Draco stopped in his tracks and kept quiet. Head bowed down. "He will, i have to try".
She smiled at him atleast loving Harry was his choice and that was better.

"Do you think Nevilles pregnant". Pansy and Draco turned their heads. This was new. Neville not a virgin. Maybe that's why Nott's with him. Because everyone with functioning eyes and ears--saw and heard what did. It was not kept under wraps.
"Cant be , but also it could be..."
This was really juicy stuff. But they couldn't spread such rumors. It wasnt nice. "We should make our to the hall. Dinner soon you know." Draco followed suit he wanted to hear the gossip too.

"So... you and Nott". Ginny wanted to start conversation. Neville just took a breath and swallowed quickly. "Yeah, granny arranged it". "Congratulations mate". Ron had spoken his the class ended. They were making their way to the great hall now. "I know youre not first in our year but youre the first one i know to get engaged. My mum says it's amazing being in engaged and in love and such".Neville smiled weakly. "Its okay i guess, they just told me about it and last break i spent it with him and his family". Ginny and Ron were interested in this more than he thought they would be. "Well i think you deserve it, a loving Alpha." Loving Nott? Where in blases did they get that idea. "Notts not loving, his doing his duty as am I".He explained and their spirits went down.

"Neville is he acting like a wanker towards you". Ron was now asking in a worried tone. He what regained his energy after being quiet all this short time." No his stopped sleeping around actually, granny said he needed to do that, so he doesn't step out when were married. " This did not make the Weasleys feel at ease. Did he promise to stop. How could Neville trust him. "Uhmm ..... i dont think you should believe that. Once a Sod always a Sod".
"Look guys i get it, its Nott and i cant excalty leave him or break it off. My granny will be disappointed or worse". The two Weasleys understood the word disappointed. They thought about thier mother. Neville's situation was sad, but what could he do. His granny was all he had and she was a hard supporter of traditional omega values. If Neville decided to break off the engagement then well, even worse things than Nott would befall him. "Lets look on the bright side here, its dinner time". All of them chuckled Neville sure knew how to make people laugh. Ron hoped Nott could see Nevilles good side. " Your wedding will be beautiful right". Ginny spoke as she was sitting down. Neville just nodded, to be honest he didnt know what his wedding would be like, Notts mom had no omega children and his grandma had planned plenty of weddings including his parents maybe they would work together. Who knows its dinner.

"I dont think they allow me to have any input". They laughed at him because it was true. Wizard wedding were planned by parents. That was tradition. Even progressive wizards would let go of that one.
"Whats funny". Harry and Hermione sat down. Coming from study hall maybe. "Oh Nevilles wedding". Oh Harry had forgotten about that. But he was happy for the bloke. "So whose the lucky Alpha Neville". They all looked at him. Did Harry truly not know whose the Alpha. "Its Theodore Nott". Harry slightly turned his head to Hermione. "Whose that. Everyone was shocked. Harry you dont know Nott. How could you not know. It was in the paper Harry. The gossip columns. " Ginny explained. Hardy explained he doesn't read the prophet. Understandable for him. But the news was spreading by word of mouth too and there were rumors about Nott. "Sorry i dont keep up with gossip. Just quiditch and school, sometimes writing to Andromeda to ask about the baby". This was shocking to say the least. Who peaceful was Harry's life now. It was a sight to see.

"You must be ecstatic Neville. Is he handsome, which house is he in?. Harry protecting his peace was a given but this was too much. "Slytherin". Neville quickly said . "This suprised Harry. As long as you're happy then". Harry had group up it seems old Harry would have told him how rotten those Slytherines were and he needed to end it. Infact Harry would end for him. Now his calmer and sensible. Neville gave him a smile. Only Ron and Ginny knew the pain behind that smile though.

Ginny wanted to held right now, in a hug a warm hug with arms that smelled of lavender and mint with a scent she cant recognize. Thats how she liked her hugs feom Luna. Luna was a good alpha and a good girlfriend. She looked for Luna, but she wasnt in the hall. Its weird, it been two days since Luna has had dinner in the hall. She would go look for her after dinner.
"Ginny, i am sure she's being herself somewhere in the castle". Ron liked Luna not counting the girls personality if he would say. He like her honest and maybe preferred her to his own best friend Harry.
Dinner was served, Ron loved Eating amongst other things." Hows OIH tonight". That, that topic could ruin his appetite but it didnt, it could but it didnt. Why would he ask this. "Horrible". Neville answered while dishing up some more salad. Was he on a diet. Wedding stuff maybe. Really, Ron mate that bad. He only looked at Harry and said yes. "Now drop it i would like to it and any mention of the torture club almost makes me full". Harry immediately dropped the topic and shared a glance with Hermione. They would definitely talk about this after. "Oh guys, friday study group". They all looked at her. On the first day it could only be Hermione
Everyone other than ginny said they'd join. Ginny was in one with her year mates, so it wouldn't make sense for her to join them. "Pansy and her friends will be joining us as well". "Pansy who". Ron asked, like he expected a different answer. "Pansy Parkinson , Ron". Ron only hummed and Harry was focused on his rice, Harry was beginning to like the rice here. It was nice. "And when you say friends you mean Draco and Blaise". Hermione scrunged her lips. "Yes Ron". Be nice to them. "Cant imagine how they feel since well they're being looked down upon already".

"Okay". That's all Ron said. Hermione didnt want to press the matter further so she dropped it. She looked at Harry. Harry offered her the peas. She nodded no and he dropped them. "Do you want the mixed veges Mione". Hermione rolled her eyes. "No thank you". Something happened in that class but omegas won't discuss anything happening in the club like they made a life binding vow.

Chapter Text

Looking for Luna after dinner and skipping desert wasn't on of her favorite things but she had to nonetheless. Who knew where her white haired Alpha went. Luna has always been peculiar. Thats what drawed Ginny to her in the first place, the things she said never seemed to make any sense, and that was hard to so to a wizard. But here Luna was, confusing the heck out of everyone all the time. "Ginny, come here ". There she was, of course she was ..... Ginny had no clue of what her Alpha was doing. "Luna". She recognized that voice, her partner was being stern again. "Yes. What happened to your arm why does it look like this". Ginny didn't know how to describe it, it was. Molten, no burned. Who knew. "Lunaa". Before she could worry or scold her. She just dragged her to madam pomfrey. No words spoken. Luna understood that maybe she should have extra carefull. "You can't be seriously skipping dinner for this". Ginny said this after they arrived in the medical bay. Ms Pomfrey was busy examining Luna while ginny was scolding her. "I need you to be.... oh forget it ". Shes not gonna do this. Not again. Luna, since they started dating had been expeirmenting with spells this one was supposed to make her into a painting or be able to make her go into a painting, ahe didnt know all she knew was it didnt work and Luna needed help.

"Ginny I am sorry, I get carried away". And it stops today, she said to the omega." This was for father". He wanted to know what would happen the Alpha explained. Luna stood up and hugged ginny. Pomfrey was just about done and she had feeling in her arm again. "So what happened in OIU". Luna asked. She liked hearing about her omegas day. It mad her happy. Ginny only grunted. "That bad". Ginny nodded. They walked out of the medical wing and began walking slowly down the hall. "The instructor was there first of all. She picked Ron apart and i didnt say anything."

Luna knew that the instructor being there meant one thing. It was a miserable meeting. "Its okay Ginny. I am dure Ron understood your situation and why you didn't say anything. He wont hold it against you". Luna further intertwined their hands since all teachers were properly in a meeting of wherever this meant they could hold hands. Luna held her cheek and Ginny blushed. "I take it they know about us right".Ginny blushed extra red, she looked like a tomato right now. Thier lips intertwined. Ginny loved kissing. It broke out into a full makeout sessions right in the hall way. Other students just side eyed them, this wasn't rare but come on qho didn't love new gossip topics. Both of them knew that there make out had already gone platinum and at the top of the gossip ladder. "15 points from Ravenclaw and 30 point from Gryffindor. Weasley you know better. Lovegood what in Merlin. You should be mature but i know alphas will be alphas".

Of course Gryffindor had the most points taken away while Ravenclaw got away with a slap on a wrist." Weasley detention for unseemly behavior". Go on now go bed with you two. Slughorn was literally not being fair right now. "Sir it isnt fair, both of us were doing it". This was bad and Ginny knew. You vant fight your punishment as a omega. Weasley, have you lost your manners by Hecate's mercy. "2 Weeks detention and 30 more points for backchatting a teacher". She had done it now. "Sorry sir but thats not fair take her detention and give it too me instead". Slughornwas shocked. What in blases is wrong with children now snogging in the halls and omegas back chatting " No need for that right now what's done is done.

Ginny was not in the least suprised about this at all. Typical Alphas getting away with everything. She was done with this day and she could not wait for the next day maybe it will be better. The started to walk in the direction of Gryffindor tower. Luna liked walking her to the dorms. She felted proud doing it. "Goodnight love".... Luna kissed her. Ginny kissed back. "Good night love". They parted until tomorrow and that seemed so far away already. Ginny had to get ready for bed now.
Walking into the common room and everyone was siting like they were waiting for her. "60 points? Weasley even for you .....this ..is.. it's mad and first day too. Dean Thomas was first to voice his opinion. Ginny wanted to sleep. "What happened Ginny". Ron asked, he had heard what the others said but he wanted to hear it from his sister.

"Yeah you can tell us". Hermione was next and Harry was just reading a muggle picture book. Clearly not baring at all. "I was holding hands with Luna and Slughorn caught us". Ginny simply said. It made sense to others but some people were still mad tho. I heard you were snogging a voice from the back said. Tongue and all. If they knew why were they asking her. "Say that again and say good bye to you teeth".Ron shouted in defense. Let's go Ginny these people are barmy. Ginny followed her brother unapologetic about the points issue either. What?.. was she not supposed to snog her girlfriend. 'First Harry now Looney Lovegood. Whose next'. Snickering followed after that statement.

"Watch out she might come for your Alpha next. Does she have to be so open about her loose morals jumping from Alpha to Alpha". Ron narrowed his eyes in anger. Ginny stopped him for leaving their room. "Not worth it". Ron smiled at her get ready and lights out in a hour. Ron jumped in his bed and pulled out a book. They was new. 'How to be a good magical omega'. That was odd. Ginny knew what bought this about the instructor. Everyone who ever presented as an omega knew that book cover to cover , fullstop too fullstop. Oh merlin.
"Hermione, do you think I should put myself out there". Only Harry would start convocation at this time of the night. "Harry, do you feel ready. Like mentally." Hermione wanted her friends to be healthy and not jumping from relationship to relationship. That's unhealthy. "I do honestly. I am not perfect but who is you know." Hermione sat up from her bed." Do you think I have a chance with pansy." Harry laughed, he didn't know what to say. "I mean maybe. You've got good qualities Hermione". That put a smile on Harmione's face. "Goodnight Mione". Harry said goodnight back. Lights were off. They fell into slumber.

In the Slytherin dorms Draco Malfoy was losing sleep, over what pansy didn't care. It was probably Potter." Do you think Potter likes blondes". Stupid question really. But pansy wouldn't say that. "Draco, your the wizardingworld beauty standard. Shut up".

Pansy didnt answer the question Draco thought. Harry had been with Ginny--Red head. Liked cho chang --black hair. Went to the yule ball with one of the Partil sisters-- dark brown hair." Pansy , his never been with a blonde plus his mum had red hair as well". Draco thought he was toast honestly. This was horrible, his hair was a defining feature and his greatest asset. No he should think like that. Like Pansy said. He is the wizardingworld world beauty standard.

But what if he liked long hair omegas. Why in Merlin name did he cut his hair. "Draco!.. sleep , worry about Potter tomorrow". Draco apologized. Feeling silly he went to sleep, but tomorrow he would write home and ask for hair growing potion. Shhhhh! . This came from the otherside of the dorm room. Sorry head under the covers. Draco has really gone Potter mad. Pansy couldn't blame her friend. Potter was a whole snack.

She wouldnt mind getting knotted by him he looked progressive and soft alright. But Draco layed claim even thought other omegas in this castle didnt know, they would know soon enough.

Chapter Text

Tuesday morning, Pansy hoped nothing eciting would happen today. She lazyly got out of bed. Her morning slippers made their way to her feet. Her toothbrush already prepared, oh where would she be without magic. How did the muggles do it she wondered this was a question she would ask in her muggle studies. All those years not paying attention and running away from that class and now she's being forced to take it. Pansy Parkinson wasn't a stranger to being forced to do things she didn't want oh-no. Half her life all her clothes, hairstyles and even friends were forced upon her. After every break when she returns from Hogwarts her mother , lousy alcoholic Alpha of a women, makes her take a virginity test. As if Hogwarts tests weren't hard enough. Dehumanizing, new word, from a muggle dictionary she saw in class. That's what it felt like to go through those tests. They were discouraged by the Wizerdgemont but come on those traditional wand in arse Alphas don't care. Since being back her mother, the letter she received only said.

'Be good and pure'

You Alpha sire.

She felt numb for the first time after receiving it. Her mommy didn't send anything. Maybe she pissed off that Parkinson again. I wondered what she did to deserve it. "No-No. Don't think like that". It was hard not to think like that. She's older now. But that's doesn't mean that Pansy has anymore freedom. Infact she has less. Nanny and chaperones up the arse and in her face she could hardly breathe. But she should be great full. First omega in her family to finish school. Pansy started school a year later than her age mates. Her sire saw no reason to send a omega to school, 'whoring and disobedience ' , those where the things that she she said Pansy would be taught at hogwarts. But her nanny made a compelling argument saying that Draco was in horgwarts and his dowry had already been increasing. Turns out families want educated omegas now wierd.

Upon arriving to the school she had a hard time adjusting, alphas were speaking to omegas unsupervised. Omegas backchatting and yelling back. She wasn't used to this. The biggest shock of all came from the muggle Alphas and omegas who didn't let secondary gender let anything get in the way of friendship. Some children were influenced but Pansy was a pureblood Omega of good breading and muggle ideals were a strict no.

Pansy walked to breakfast alone because Draco had to finish up some work he didn't finish yesterday. And he was doing that suprise suprise in direct view of Potter.
"Build him an alter". Draco just looked at him. Not impressed but he found it funny. "That would be weird." He didn't seem convinced and Pansy knew. She took her plate and sat down "orange juice please". A cup and an elfe popped beside her. "Student Parkinson". Said the elfe bowing his head. He went away. Not a thank you was uttered, purebloods don't thank elves they love serving either way. "You know Parkinson you should really start thanking the elves". It was too early for this. Pansy did not want to be lectured at. "Bugger off Zabini". Blaise sent down cuppacino in one hand and biscuts in another, books and bag floating behind him. "Crabby aren't we in the morning". Ge sat down with his omega friends. Or as he liked to call them little siblings. He did not know why but he had a soft spot of them, as an only child with an evermoving mother. Hogwarts was the only place he stayed at where he did not have to hold his breath and wonder if his friends were coming back. Atleast that is ehat his mother told him. But he became frends with omegas and after their first heats he was afraid to lose them again. Thats why he didnt write during the holiday for fear that there goodbye letters would come. So he hid away and prepared for the worst when he got on the platform. Seeing Draco was a not suprising-suprise. He thought Bellatrix would lock him up and ship him off to france. The Ministry would like a word if that happened Draco could leave the coutry willynilly now.

With pansy it was more nervwrecking for both of them. Sire Parkinson wasn't the most progressive, kind or caring Alpha heck even as a child, parent, sibling she was ......well....hellish. She treated other alphas like people especially her lord and savious Bellatrix Black. Parkinson would take an unforgivable curse to the heart for Bellatrix. Both of them were on the council of wizarding heritage. Dictating what omegas can and cant do. Some wizards wanted to know how they treated the omegas present in their personal lives and the answer was their own omega children saw hell from them.

Seeing Pansy warmed his heart. He thought he lost it over the war. He thought he lost them. But this was thier second chance.

Draco was more focused on Harry than breakfast his, unfinished work finished. He could eat now. But if you asked him what he wanted to eat was not on his plate but it was across from him in his robes, wearing those awful Gryffindor colours but he does not mind. His Harry made those dreadful things work and that was all that matter.
"Do you think he likes Ron". Draco was a composed person now. He was grown up. No longer quick to anger but their was one sentence that made him fume with anger. The idea that Harry can like anyone else.
"Blaise don't". Pansy plead. " Why do this so early". Draco looked at Blaise like he had utterd a secret so daming that he ruined Draco and put his father in jail. He hadnt seen such a look since............ ever.
"Blaise. Never utter such blasphemy ever again. Remember our plan. You get that weasel and i get my Harry". Blaise only laughed about it. He was joking of course. But, seeing this reaction on his little brother was worth it. Now he needed to focus on pressing matters Hogwarts Gossip express obviously. "So i heard Nott knocked up Longbottom, thats why they're engaged". The three of them burst into laughter. "As if Neville would let him... right?." But Neville wouldnt. They nodded amongst themselves. Of course not. "But Nott is Nott". Blaise brought them back to reality. Pansy and Dracos soon to be reality. Did they, as if on cue Neville walked in the hall Ron in tow. People looked at him like they knew something about him. "No wander his cheeks are chubby". Someone whispered must be hufflepuff. Gossip gits. Ron immediately noticed the shift and he moved quickly. "Lets eat mate". He grabbed Neville's hand and sat down with him facing him. "Dont listen to them. Something they did to Harry. It's Gossip thats all". Neville smiled shyly. His worried now. Knowing Nott was bad, being engaged was hell with these rumors they could destroy him and his reputation and Ron knew that. Either they break off the engagement or rush the marriage. Neville would rafher the latter. Maybe Nott would knock up an omega and the engagement would be broken upon the terms set. He could only hope. Neville , Ron. It was Harry. He wa good this morning second morning already doing him wonders. "You okay Neville. I heard...rumors". He stuttered abit. Been better but them rumors are not true. Harry shocked his head yes. "Of course they werent true. But his still Nott. And were friends and we are worried if maybe....he.uhm....?"

No Harry he hasnt tried anything. You dont slander your Alpha, Granny had said. He didnt want them to worry. Everyone had enough on their plates. Harry even more. He couldn't worry an Alpha like Harry with matters between a his promised Alpha and him. Omega matters are not be disscussed in polite company of Alphas. Granny had also reminded him.

It didnt matter that he didnt like Nott. Or that Nott touched him in class and whispered crude things in his ears while walking the halls. What he wanted did not matter. But Harry being an Alpha could not understand that. He never will. His best bet was Ron and Ginny.
Speaking of Ginny, she and Luna late as always too breakfast. Neville was jealous of Ginny sometimes. First she had Harry, the Saint Potter and now she's with Luna Lovegood. Luna loved Ginny to no end. He wanted to be loved like that. It wasnt fair. But it's no use crying over spilt milk as tge muggles say. He loved muggle sayings.

It looked like Hermione was skipping breakfast again. But Harry would always grab an apple or two for her. Harry did wwonder what she was researching but, she came to the conclusion of minding his business until Hermione had come to him with her thoughts until then he would mind his own, focus on classes and getting his social life in order. Harry had taken a liking to some omegas on school grounds but it never ends right so now he has a new approach. This new approach is too approach the local omegas the ones that do not attend Hogwarts. He was done with dating on school grounds.

Hermione heard the bell ringing class was starting and she had eaten but not enough. Ron always had some food on him, she could ask him though. She hoped this research wont be in vain.

For a while now Hermione was studying on the pureblood customs and rules one needs to follow in order to be with an pureblood Omega and so far she had two sereve things she lacked. One she was a muggle. So minus ten points. Two she was not from oppulent wealth like avarage pureblood. She was in good financial standing for an muggle omega, but for purebloods it would like a homeless person asking to marry a princess of an empire with vast wealth. Whose to say Pansybwould even like her back. She should quit but she was also not going to that.

Atleast today was a normal day in pansy opinion. No weird shit. Muggle class was enjoyable even if Granger was starring at her she was beautiful of course. But even she was overdoing it. Study time was a quiet time down time for those who liked it.
"Can I sit here". Normalcy and silence went out the window fast. Granger, i wonder what shes up too. Probably keeping tabs on me for the Ministry aye, keeping us in check and the sort. "Sure". This was a first. "I was hoping we could get some alone time before the study group on friday." This further confused Pansy. Why was Granger so adamant about her. What has gotten into her. "Granger.....alone time. Me and you".Hermione turned red out of shyness. Pansy was blunt. She's changed alot. Yeah "I dont want you to think I am taking advantage or anything, i sill leave if youre uncomfortable". She was taking her books into her hands why did she not use her magic muggles, Pansy internally rolled her eyes. You can stay Granger, i was just jestering you. There it was the weird wizard way of talking. Hermione liked it. "Just be quiet okay. I like my silence". That was all Pansy said and Granger happily obliged her. They were like this until the end of the study time.

On the side of the library, Neville was buried in his new edition of Herbology: magical plants of the Gulf. Granny had packed. With all thats happened during the break. He had forgotten that he had it. So many magical plants and their properties. He couldn't wait to grow them and experiment on himself. Despite his nervous and shy personality Neville was a goner for expeirments with herbology he had a whole greenhouse and laboratory back home. His granny built it during yule in 4th year. He had been ecstatic. "Neville". Oh-no. He disliked that voice even if he wasnt allowed too. "Nott, i mean Theodore..how are you". Theodore only gawked at him." So herbology, is that the only thing you read". He asked kindly sort off. Nott wasnt kind, this had to be a trick Neville thought.
"I like the subject thats all". Nott just smirked. This was new. But it must be a trick. "Talking back are we, when we are married". He hated that statement. "Oh you dont like that do you". Neville didnt reply he only made himself small. Head bowed and eyes down. Like he was taught. "No, dont do that. Talk to me. Do you want to get married". Neville still bowed his head. He wasnt going to fall for it. Nott wont trap him. "I.........wa....nt .... to get mar..ried."
Nott chuckled at that. "Youre the perfect omega arent you. Pleasing granny and mum. Bowed head and all, hmmm look at you all submissive and quiet". Neville still didnt say anything. It was his duty and Neville would do his duty.

"Listen I am being forced to do this too ... are you aware of that. I dont want this, but I have to do this. Same as you". That statement made Neville raise his head. Nott could not be serious. He was being forced. Theodore Nott an Alpha was being forced. "What do you know about force. You .....you are so daft. Thinking we are two sides of the same coin. "Nott if i lived my life as you i would be disowned and labeled a broken, used, mannerless whore of an omega". Neville could not believe it. This Alpha had the power to break the engagement, he knew how. He was there whem the terms were read. Nott trutly was despicable. Not feeling shy anymore but enraged and the Alpha for knotexplaing(a term he learned from the muggle omegas). He left him there. He left Nott at that table no polite good bye, nothing. He just up and left. He was gonna tell Ron about this and they are gonna have a fun time. Neville did not even look back at him he just left.

Chapter Text

Theodore was shocked, Neville had never spoken like that to him before. Where was the bumbling omega who kept their head down. Did he really just bring that out of him. This brought a smile to his face. Neville angry, the others wouldn't believe it. After Neville left the evening bell signaling the end of study time rang. He just got up and left. Dragging himself to the dungeon. He wanted to be free not getting married as soon as he had his NEWTs. What could he do. The old man and mum had threatened to take away his inherentance. That he was too wild. Too out of control. Living in debauchery they said. It fidnt matter that he was an alpha, he needed to be a proper Alpha and so they got a proper omega. Neville longbottom, pale, chubby, shy and agreeable. He was supposed to fix Nott.
Theodore knew himself and what he wanted wasn't an omega or a marriage no what he wanted was freedom to travel, be himself. Now that the war is over. British wizards are allowed to travel again. But his connections with death eaters had come back to bite him. And he almost saw Azkaban. But some character witness helped, yes he was a pureblood but the partying with muggle omegas sort. Not the kill all muggles sort.

As Pansy and Draco were getting ready for bed. Pansy told Draco about her and Harmione's interaction. Draco laughed at her. "Pansy love, she's trying to get your attention." Pansy knew that. But why, she couldn't figure out the reason. Draco said the reason was her face and hand in marriage. Lunacy, that is lunacy. Hermione Granger and Pansy Parkinson together in a relationship. Her Sire Ms Parkinson would drop dead from the thought. That doesn't sound too bad but knowing Parkinson, Pansy thought he wouldn't leave Pansy and her mum a single galleon. That's enough of that thought.

Wednesday was a quiet day. Hermione even walked her to class even. Granger insisted. She even saved her an apple, which Pansy didn't understand why Granger just did not wait until lunch to give it to her. Today, Hermione walked with her to muggle studies and brought up the Friday study session which was tomorrow with the others again. In which she again clarified that she will be there, with her friends Blaise and Draco. Hermione was suprised but since Harry was obviously going to be there what's the harm. Harry was waiting for the weekend then he would be able to go to hogsmade and look at the omegas, looking at his options if you will. Crude he knows but what could he do. Earlier Draco had spoken him to telling his looking forward to the session on Friday and what not. This suprised Harry because Draco was acting weird like he had a fever or something, his face was all red and what not. He was barely audioable to Harry and his hair getting longer and such. Draco was starting to look like Lucious Malfoy but that's a given since they are father and son. He probably shouldn't give Draco too much thought.

"So Isn't that wierd Mione". Harry had finished rambling about Malfoy and Hermione was suprised it took this long for Harry to start thinking about the omega. Apparently Harry did not find that amusing he was just listing off all the weird things about Malfoy that he had noticed. Honestly, Hermione and the other laughed at him. All through dinner even the love birds Luna and Ginny. Neville was in happy spirits but he wouldn't say put in him those spirits just that it's omega business. They stopped asking but still curious. Nevilles pregnancy rumors died down. After the omegas in OIU saw him still chubby stomach in tow and no change in scent all was well. The instructor wasnt here today which was good Dumbledore was , which was bad because he asked about the rumored pregnancy. As long as the rumors died down. New rumors of Nott dating someone new and that was the talk of the 5th years, since he was dating a 5th year. Poor girl was all Neville thought and happily skipped to his room to get ready for the night.

"Neville Longbottom , what's gotten into you". Ron was first to ask. Ginny was changing her clothes. And Ron was helping himself to some chocolates that Ginny got from Luna earlier. "I told Nott to sock it". Ginny was first to react since Ron's reaction was to Ginny's chocolates. "Really, well what did you say. Tell us Neville, Ron don't finish them." Ginny took the box from him atleast he didn't finish all the good ones there were still some left from him and Neville. "So what did you say to the bastard, actually start at the beginning". Ron went to his bed after eating the tasty chocolates. Neville began explaining how Nott came to him in the library no doubt he was snoging someone in there. How he told Nott that he was also forced, which he called bull. "Neville, you actually know how to the break it". Ron asked suprised. "Most omegas know the terms Ron". He admitted this suprised him he didn't ask the follow up question of why he doesn't break it and he knows why Neville can't do such a thing or even think it and Nott has the power to break it off even though he claims he doesn't, so selfish of him really. "I told him to put a sock in it and that he was so selfish. I honestly don't know why his doing this". Neville finished his story off. Ginny could only laugh, happy her friend has finally stood up for himself. No longer shyly bowing his head. Ron just told Neville that the Alpha deserves it and they started discussing the session tomorrow.

Ron admitted to being nervous. When asked why he just said Blaise. He then came clean about thier interaction. Neville thought it was great and that he should be extra careful omega friends or not. Alphas were still Alphas, Nott and Zabini were basically the same coin. Though progressive Zabini wanted one thing from omegas, submission and open legs same as Nott. But Notts reputation was tainted by bulling, sneaking out multiple omegas claiming to have slept with him. Again it did not matter that he had slept with half of Hogwarts, Nott was an alpha and Neville was not so the best option was head down keep quiet and mind your business.

Maybe he likes you said Neville. He defended his statement by saying Blaise has a reputation of approaching omegas with the intent to date them not make friends like Harry or Hermione. Ron hated this, making friends was an extreme sport now. Alphas didn't speak to omegas with out wanting something in return and he knew that Ginny, Mom everyone had warned him about that. Bullocks it didn't make any sense, why would Zabini, rich , syltherin Blaise Zabini even want to with him. Maybe Neville was right, he always is about omega matters.

Chapter Text

Ron Weasley was okay looking he knew that. By beta standards he was good-looking perfect body and all that nonsense. By Omega standards he was.....well not that good-looking. Hair wasn't long enough, he wasn't the perfect mix between cute and sexy. His body too muscular for a good omega. And this was making him spend more time looking at a mirror more then he would've last year.

His mind suddenly drifted to his conversation with Zabini, Blaise. Maybe Blaise was actually being genuine. Maybe Neville was right. No he should not get his hopes up. Ron looks at the mirror again. Freckles, eyes, hair-longer atleast and arms too long. Why was he now noticing all these things. It was friday morning for merlin's sake. He should get to breakfast and maybe break that bloody mirror.
At breakfast, Ginny is being nauseating with Luna, and Ron feels like its too much already. "Ginny its breakfast time you want to eat pancakes or Luna's face choose". The table was silent for a few minutes and then laughter broke out. Luna just looked at him while still laughing only to pick up her fork amd start feeding Ginny the pancakes while kissing her cheek after every bite. Ron felt like he was going to scream. He didn't, it was nice his sister being loved. Ginny had been an omega longer than him after all. It was too early for this. Suddenly laughter burst out from the Slytherin table, he turned his head to see what the commotion about. He didn't expect Blaise to be the comical one. The Alpha was always so suave and smooth and his type well Zabini's money was his type anyway. As if Madame Zabini will let him get a lick of that money. What was he even thinking about. Ron chalked it down to just being hungry, that's it that's all. He was not thinking about Blaise Zabinis money.

"Are you guys ready for tonight. Remember study group."

"Yesss".

Everyone said in unison, Hermione thought they were gonna bail on her. We'll she wanted them sort of. But none of them could point out the reason as why she would want to be alone with a bunch of Slytherines until they saw her gawking at pansy a few times a day. Ginny might have figured her out but the rest especially Harry and Ron were positively clueless. More-so Ron then Harry. Ron had a lot on his plate now. Harry looked like he didn't care or was really just plain clueless.

Blaise noticed the Gryffindor table and all the other tables looking at him. Ron looked as well. This was great for him. Atleast he had an excuse as to walk with in the halls ahead of thier study session tonight. "Harry is expositional looking as always".
Pansy rolled her eyes no ways. How could Draco be thinking about Potter, the day just started. Unbelievable, his friends were being unbelievable right now. What's wrong with a little crush.

Saved by the bell, the both of them should be glad honestly, judging him for a little crush. He was gonna be Harry's new boyfriend. And everyone was gonna suck it. Draco was aware of his looks, platinum blond with grey eyes please he was fantasy made reality. Even the dark lord wanted him. Harry would too. I mean Harry saved him twice right. He would love to love Draco.

He decided that today he was gonna speak to Harry. In astronomy, which hazzar-was first period. Or they could walk together but Harry already went. Doesn't matter they sit together so obviously they would talk today. He convinced himself, today marks the first steps to being Harry's omega. A bit sad really all this education just to become a househusband always barefoot and pregnant. What could he do, it not like and portions master would take him on as an apprentice. Snape would, but his passed on. Snape actually fought for him to get an education thats why he excelled the way he did in potions and his other subjects. So they dont pull him out and he doesn't become a waste of space at hogwarts.

Draco reached class and walked to his seat. Harry was already seated wow his Harry was really serious this year. Of course he had too. War hero and academic, this Alpha was really the full package.

"Morin Potter", Draco spoke shyly. Like he had been taught. (No Alpha likes a deep voice). Those stupid lessons came in handy once or twice. Harry smiled greeted him back Draco felt as if he drank fire whiskey. Cheeks red and all.

"So Ha...rry..........is that fine or Potter. I stick too Potter".

"Whatevers good".
"Ohh, uhm...Harry..i..Uhm. like this topic we are closing off on".

Harry only hummed. This sent Draco spiraling the second time in 5 minutes. If Harry knew his power over Draco.

"Do you find arabic magical constellations difficult".
Harry had started this conversation not Draco Harry did. Wow. This was really progress. Pansy could sock it, she was sitting at the back. And apparently not interested in this drama as she calles it.
"Not really, mum sort of an expert of all cultures of constellations. Being born a black and all. She loves the stars".

Harry had a soft smile on his face. A smile while listening to Draco talk. He smiled while listening to Draco ramble on about himself and his mum. Should he write to mum and have her ready his dowry. Or maybe father and tell him not to worry his baby boy has found true love with the most gentlest of Alphas and he was going to be well taken off. He was going to be free of Bellatrix. "Thats awesome, Draco. Maybe at the session today you can help somewhere I don't quite get yet".

Harry Potter the boy who lived twice was asking Draco to tutor him, this was like those romance novels his cousins read. Where the omega meets an Alpha through some mundane activity and that becomes their thing and fall in love in the process. Oh merlin , thank you. Draco Lucious Malfoy-Potter, if was perfect. Everything was perfect. The name fit. Now all he needed was the ring, his dowry and a dress. Father's blessing of course and a Townhouse in an elite muggle area, since Harry was raised muggle he would want to be surrounded by them.

"Of course Harry , i would be glad". The omegas heart was jumping for joy. The professor handed out a test. Too test their understanding of the subject and as expected Draco scored highest in the class. Harry clapped for him. His Harry was celebrating him and his achievements. Harry would be such a good alpha. Most alphas would tell the omega to not try so hard but Harry. His Harry is clapping for him.

"Well done Malfoy, too smart for an omega aren't ya". This made Malfoy bow his head. Sort of ashamed for his intelligence. Its not like he will need after all. Marriage and all.
Harry bent his head. "You did good Malfoy, I really want you to tutor me if you have time". As if Draco needed another reason to keep loving Harry. Kind and secure in is Alpha hood, a rear Alpha indeed. How could anyone hate him.
"Thank you". As if rehearsed pink blush appeared as if Faries hexed him but it was Pansy behind. Revenge she called for being ignored. Pansy couldn't understand why Draco thought Harry would save him and become this knight in white armour for him. "Sorry love, thought i should show your true self". She said this while snickering and giggling. Harry giggled too.

"It suites you Malfoy". Malfoy huh. He was still Malfoy. Of course he was. Did he see him as Lucious's son or just Draco. Draco forced himself to smile.
"It does, doesn't it". Pansy agreeing with Potter this was the confirmation he needed that Potter was made for him. Draco Lucious Malfoy soon to be Potter was going to look on the brightside. Potter was changing his view towards him. "Not funny Pans". He took his wand and undid Pansy's joke. "Its plenty funny love".
Harry just looked between the omegas back and forth. He liked this exchange between them. Deep down he wanted to see if they had changed. Changing because of socital pressure is one thing. Changing because of goodness or a new way of thinking is another. And Harry needed to see that in Draco. Nevermind his mid-length platinum hair and those diamond grey eyes. Draco really was a great beauty. Always has been and always will be.

Harry knew omegas like Draco, pretty omegas as well as those raised in pureblood culture look for something Harry is pretty sure he lacks. He should not be thinking about Draco in that way. Its wrong and discrimination to think an omega is only worth thoer looks and background. But Draco was pretty too pretty. His hair shown like the moon. He had seen pretty omegas but Draco. He was another level of pretty. The bloody standard he was, thats what Alphas said in first year and now still in the bathrooms and locker rooms. But Malfoy was a prude, nobody got close to him plus he was a snob and arrogant. And a bully, even though he stopped after 5th year. He really grew into his looks. From cute angel to mythical fairy angel creature with dangerous intelligence.

Draco was out of Harry's league, he should stick to his muggle counterparts. Draco was the type to marry princes and what not. "Harry.... are you coming to Hermiones session". Pansy Parkinson asked. "Of course, since i grew up mostly muggle. Hermione thought i would give context to alot of things textbooks might not explain in a way you get it." That made sense right. Yeah of course.
Draco told him that was kind and very harrylike. He did not know what that meant but he said it smiling and still pink so it must have been a compliment.

Chapter Text

Making a fool of yourself infront of your crush was something everyone experienced. Your friends doing it to you was a right of passage. Pansy had a ball making sure Draco showed his trueself to Harry. Even if Draco did not appreciate the gesture, crude and nasty he called it. Whatever, he needed to toughen up. To Pansy, Dracos crush was pointless to be honest, it not like they will be together in future. This thought had occupied Pansy's thoughts the entirety of lunch. After that she had three more classes and then free time till study time.

Neville had not seen or thought about Nott for the better part of the day until lunch. A letter from granny, but for some reason he felt uneasy. Took the letter from the barn owl, the letter was normal looking nothing out of the ordinary. He opened it slowly cautious.
Dear Neville............

It has come to my attention that allowing you to continue your studies at Hogwarts was a mistake on my part. .............................
.... I have taken the liberty to inform you that you marriage to Theodore Nott has been fast forwarded to the 4th day of Octobers week long holiday.

Your Alpha has expressed his eagerness to marry as he fear that the attitudes of untrained omegas, tainting you. Because of this worry. We have all decided that it is better for you to marry soon.

Be good,
Love grandma

Neville was defeated. How could he-that Nott, forcing him to marry quickly because Neville put him in his place and stood up for himself, so this warrantied punishment.

It was clear to his friends that Neville had received some worrisome news. "Nev, you okay mate ".

Ron was first to ask, the two omegas had grown quite close. After receiving no answer than a small head shake. Ron took the letter in nevilles hand. Scrunched face and all, he looked towards Neville with compassion and hopelessness." I am so sorry mate".
This further confused everyone else. Was his granny okay. Did his mom finally.........no it couldn't be. Having had enough of the suspense. Ginny took the letter. "His getting mar....ried during the October break. Some nonsense about improper company and Nott being worried about his purity". Neville had gone quiet as well as everybody else. What they feared is now coming to pass. Neville was leaving and they had no say in it. He himself had no say in it.

"It's all my fault, if I hadn't stood up for my self, if i hadn't....."

"Nonsense, his trying to get to dont let him okay"

"How, no more school, no more you guys no more freedom".
He started to choke up on the last sentence. His tears finally made an appearance. Ron hugged him whispering to him that its gonna be okay all. Everyone looked at him sorrowfully, they felt sorry for Neville. The poor bloke can't say no to the marriage. Nor can he cancel it. Neville was inconsolable the whole day. In his classes he could barely pay attention. His friends had ran out of ways to make him smile. On the other side, Nott was unaffected by this why should he evens.

Notts attitude pissed Ron off. How could he be so selfish and ignorant. Neville was crumbling and he was enjoying the autumn breeze. Frolicking with his Slytherin pals. Before fourth period, he had enough. "NOTT! You have some balls, I will give you that. Enjoying your time huh". This outburst caught everyone's attention. Especially the Slytherin. "What you on about". He just had lunch and learned off his impending nuptials now an omega was being annoying. He just wanted a quiet Friday but it seems he won't get that even.

"Weasley, to what do I owe the honor of this outburst".

"You know what you did".

"I promise you, I don't remember ever slighting you. If you dont count talking behind your back".

"I am talking about Neville. His falling apart, since lunch, his been distraught".

"So, it's longbottom his always distraught". One of notts lackies felt the need to add that into the conversation.

"Not talking to you". He raised his voice abit.

"Listen Weasley, what's going on between longbottom and I is our business not yours. Or do they not teach that in you omega classes". This earned Notts some appluses and snickering with the Alphas in his group and those listening in.

Maybe he wants you all to him self. Never had Ron heard such a ridiculous statement, him and nott. Death was a better alternative. I would rather be in Azkaban.
This earned him some ohhs and ahhs with the crowd. Ron didnt care about that, he wanted Nott to pay, how he didn't know. But nott will pay.

"Mouthy omega aren't you".

"His poor and no home training wha' da expect from him".

I am right here you bloody knothead. And don't speak over me. This lack of respect was honestly astounding. He knew they would treat him differently but this.... this was a whole another issue. " His mouthy".
Again with that statement. "Mouthy omegas have good cunts". This was kill shot. Ron didnt have anything more to say, like they took out his tongue. Nott realized and went for the attack. He got closer to the red head. Cupped his face and then with one hand grabbed Ron's hair from behind and pulled it making him look up. "Look me in the face".
His tone was deeper and more sinister. Ron suddenly realized that he was alone here. None of his friends were outside on a free period. Fiesty them poor ones always were. Ron had forgotten he was an omega.
"Let go".

"What"

"I said let go. You're hurting me". He said so softly, plightly and scared of whats to come if he angered the Alpha anymore.

"Submissive, just my type".

He felt another foreign pair of arms hugging him from behind, His heart dropped to his feet.

"Let him go Nott. Touching another Alpha's omega. To much even for you".

Blaise.

Zabini. He had saved him.

Slowly Notts arms were no longer on Ron. Blaise's arms now resting on Ron's hips. This was a signal to all alphas in the room. Mine. Do not touch. And they got the message. He removed one hand the other still firm. Ron shall we. He didn't reply just followed silently. Zabini took them to a quiet spot. The snogging spot they called it. It's okay now, Zabini was very relaxed about the matter.

Ron didn't say anything still. He was shocked. He looked at the groud for a few minutes. Ron? You awake sweetheart.

"Don't call me sweetheart. I am not your sweetheart. Well that seemed to wake the omega up. Of course not. Not yet atleast".

"So what were you doing riling up Nott".

"I wasn't. I wanted him to own up and to stop making Neville feel like miserable.".

"So you failed because he made you feel miserable as well ay".

"Please don't. Not right now".

Of course darling. Unamused he stared at the Alpha. Why even bother anymore he wants himself. He wasn't Ron the Alpha he was Ron the omega and that was noticeable. He now knew it. The respect he carried wasn't there anymore. Nott had threatened him grabbed his hair like that. They called him Mouthy, said Mouthy omegas were the best too make submissive. He looked at Blaise. Blaise was at a distance not like not. He touched him to save from Nott. Not to scare him. And he called him sweetheart.

Was Zabini the nice guy. "Thank you". He looked down as he said it. This was a new habit he had developed. He always looked at the floor when he felt unsure or confused. No need. Can I touch you. Ron was hesitant what was the need or reason to touch him. "Please sweetheart, if your not up too it then fine".

He kept still, his omega was yearning to be cuddled to make a nest. To hide under the blankets. To be hugged. Yes. He said quickly. The Alpha took his held his right hand with both arms." Nobody will bother you again. I promise".

"Don't promise nonsense. Omegas can only be protected by thier chosen alphas".

"I will be your Alpha".

Ron made a face. Is he taking me for a ride. Because I am emotional now he wants to take me for a ride. Work me up and open my legs then dump me. Zabini don't play with me. There was sincerity in the sentence.

"I don't joke Ron. Me and you together".

He said together. He said him and I. But he didn't say forever. A relationship maybe.

"No forever".

"I can't promise forever".

"Bugger off then. Stupid wanker".

"Come on Ron"

"Let's have fun. I will spoil you".

"I can't believe....... I really am I fool. Let me go". Zabini stood still. He wanted to make his argument. "Do you not like me".
How can he ask that. Ron didnt answer. He did not have too anyway." A date then as thank you for saving you since Nott would have taken your pretty arse then and there".
Now his pushed a button. Ron went back to looking sad. I am sorry. Ron still didn't reply. Tomorrow me and you.

"I have omega classes".

"After then or skip"

"Okay I will skip. You're paying tho".

Chapter Text

I can't believe I am doing this. Stalking Harry Potter is one thing. Stealing longing glances and muttering silly and shakey good mornings is another. Study group where Potter will be sitting across from him is something else entirely.

Draco knew he had to dress down, but not that down. Potter had horrible sense of fashion but he might appreciate so classical style. Khaki pants with an oversized brown sweater, his hair in a low ponytail, its long but not as long as it should be. Cute, classical and easy. He was bound to get Potters attention or a look. "DRACO! For Merlin's sake hurry up or we will be late to Granger's study group". Pansy cared about her looks to a degree, Draco thought she could have cared more being a Parkinson and all. "Almost done, sheesh".
Pansy couldn't believe it. All this effort for a egghead Saint who doesn't him or better yet, would rather not date a pureblood with deatheater connections. But she wasnt going to knock her friend down for trying.

"Have you seen Blaise".

"No, last saw him with Ron. They were acting wierd . Something about a date".

Ron and Blaise huh, he really was a miracle worker. If Blaise could update his style thought Draco, then Ron Weasley might get some of his family's former reputation. But alas one could dream now to face Potter. Pansy and Draco made they way to the library. Finally it was time for the muggle studies study session. For some reason Pansy felt uneasy like she couldn't pinpoint where the uneasyness is coming from. She should probably ignore it. New year, New bonds and frendships or whatever slosh the headmistress was blabbering about.

"Calm down Mione, they're maybe late, you know how Slytherins are. They like to be fashionably late". The amount of drama these Slytherines have. Harry wasn't actually t6o worried about them, show or no show. Hermione looked like she was gonna comburst, why go through all this elaborate mind games, why not ask her out plainly. He knew the Alpha wasn't into easy things, if he like someone he would simply ask them out. If the person was a person who would actually want to be with him.

Harry turned his head to the entrance. As if on cue, a fashionably late blonde was walking towards. Was he alone thought Harry, no way right. Pansy must have been there but for some reason Harry couldn't see her. He must be under a spell or his going barmy. Draco was wearing a simple outfit, khaki pants and a brown sweater a bit too big on him, but it works. He looked cute. Harry could feel a blush working its way up to his cheeks and honestly, he didn't mind.

"Hey..Potter?"He wasnt sure if he should greet him, Potter looked lost almost. Whatever, he was still....well dressed he thinks. Potter is lucky that his handsome, when they get married that wadrobe is gonna need a revamp.

"You're here". Hermione was only talking to one of them. Draco knew. She knew. Potter....... who knows with him. Pansy didn't understand the atmosphere but nevertheless, she was here to study not whatever Dracos doing. Hermione Granger as radiant as ever, smiling like shes merlin and discovered a new brand of magic. Merlin how does she look so happy and carefree all the time.

Pansy immediately reminded her self thag she is an Omega and Granger is an Alpha. Her kind, alphas not muggles had no struggles whatsoever. Thats a sentiment she learned from Alpha Parkinson, her sire. Who for the week only contacted her once. Something was brewing.

"Of course Granger, I am mean Hermione. Sorry stil getting used to the first name bases and all". Draco gave her a look. She was gonna ignore that. "Lets start". Okay, yeah I mean". They sat down books open and ready to broaden their own knowledge. That's what pansy thought they were doing, she was unware of the trap, the Alpha sat in motion.

"So Granger, you and Pansy here are on first name base......huh. Pansy caught the tone used, what it meant and where the other was going.

"Yes Draco, we are.

"I just find it wierd that there are four of us here and only two of us are on first name base" . Now Granger caught it. Harry was still lost. This was hilarious, Draco and Hermione were one in the same. The only difference is Hermione is a stepp ahead in her plan and Draco, merlin help isnt anywhere.

"So Potter would you mind if I called you harry". Brave omega. Hermione realized that the omega was on the same game she was on and she respected it. If Harry could, they could speed up this situation and close it fast.

"Uh....huh? Did you say something? Draco".
Dear lord, Harry was a louse. Focusing on on himself to the point where he doesn't realise when a top tier omega, if not the prettiest omegas in the school is hitting on him. Hermione realized if her plan depended on harry then she would never be with Pansy.

"I think we all should be on first name base, dont you think Harry?". She could salvage this, she had too. "Sounds good". Harry wasn't really thinking about what this means at all, really. Them getting close with Pansy and Draco meant Hermione would get Pansy and interhouse unity. Not that she cared for such but she needed a cover for her plotting.

Draco felt like his soul was being burned slowly amd then rejuvenated in the same second. He has never been happy to hear Gran-Hermione's voice. And Harry said sure. Dreams do come true. After this his definitely writing to mother. She can start, fixing his inherentance and dowry, if Aunt Bellatrix didn't take it away. He promised himself a goodtime. His gonna have a good time.

"Harry". Thats when he thought he heard it all. Who was this person with the angle voice. Where was the banshee that tortured all these years ago. He really was going barmy. Draco has always been pretty heck he was jaw dropping and awe inspiring beautiful. But now he really grown and mythical looking. He wasnt real, harry tried to convice himself of that no the platinum haired beauty was real. Hearing his name from Dracos mouth was well, amazing for lack of a better word.

"We are on first name base now. Harry.

Oh yeah, Mal... Dr..Draco.

"So are you guys done with thw descriptions and functions. Lets move on"

"Yeah".

Draco heard Harry call him by name. This had him elavating. He should no he must right home. Draco has been given a sign. Harry said his name. D.R.A....CO, he said it, a little hesitant but still. And he looked at him. Draco knew that, Harry staring at him when he entered meant something. Oh how he loves Lady magic. Praying really does help. It making sense why mother always does it.

"I had fun, I mean I learnt alot of material. Really helpful. Thank you Gr..Hermione".

"You're welcome, I want to do this again. If you want too".

"I would. Like ....that."

This exchange was painfully bland. But draco wasn't focused on that right now. He and Harry were on first name basis. He liked that alot. Harry was still......in his mind but that's okay. He had alot to deal with. "I had a good time Harry, did you?".

"Yeah sure Mal,.....Draco. sorry getting used to first names is kinda hard". Draco eyes just grew and became sparkly for some reason." Yeah, I guess".

Draco felt an ache deep in his heart. But he couldn't rush Harry. The war just happened and as long as harry has been in the wizardingworld he still didn't know much. That was evident and his view on omegas is examplerey but would get him hanged and ridiculed by other alphas. So he would wait for Harry. One look and a decision made. Draco always knew what his future held for him eversince he had his first heat. The best thing he could do was choose who he fell in love with. The only choice he would ever make in his life and he has chosen to wait.

Maybe lady magic would hear more of his cries and when he gets mated the Alpha would be kind hearted.

"Bye Harry".

"Bye".

He didn't even say Malfoy. He didn't say it. Draco walked faster he needed to get to his room. He felt overwhelmed and too vulnerable. Pansy. He said softly. She understood. Okayy. She replied.

The two walked faster. Pansy for all the teasing she's done to Draco about his crush on Potter and his plans. She felt sorry and envious of him at the same time. Pansy wanted to dream about her Alpha and her amazing love life to be. But she doesn't because she knows how the world looks like. Her sire made sure she would learn. None of that, omega rights nonsense as he called it.

No one would come and save her and she knew that. Draco knew that but he was burying it, he knew he had a chance at life not just wife and motherhood. Sure he wanted those things but after he his own thing. But name one pureblood alpha that believes in equality and she will show you the sun rising from the south. But she admired him for it, he thought the saviour of the wizardingworld would save him. Pansy thought that Draco was starting to see it. Harry wasn't coming to save him no was not him not them not her mother no one was coming.

And when Draco realizes, she will be there to comfort him. This is an Alphas world and omegas are toys in it.

Chapter Text

"Blaise you will never believe what happened yesterday. Harry and I are on first name basis". That statement shocked him. He wasn't gonna lie. Atleast their was progress. Breakfast was never a quiet affair at this table. Draco and Potter. Pansy being Pansy. Nott and his group of degenerates. A quiet one would be a dream.atleast things were fun yesterday.

Ron was warming up to him. After their little lunch, the red head was a little less rude to him. He would take it . They both skipped out on the study session to talk or as Ron puts it to gather his thoughts after rigorous mental torture. He just doesn't want another hour studying, it was friday. That was his argument anyway and Blaise was not one to argue.

They never got to speak about the Nott issue. Blaise didn't press and Ron said he was fine. He took him to a place only Slytherins know, a first really but not for him. The place was really his spot, where he took his dates. Ron was none the wiser, and had his guard up almost all the time.
He finally let him self relax and they spoke about quiditch, who knew they shared a favorite team. Ron got really interested when Blaise revealed that he had met the captain of the chudley cannons. This made the red head practically jump on him buzzing with questions. He liked that he can insite that type of happines in the omega.

"Blaise".

"You there, buddy"

"Yeah sure". He wasn't there he was thinking about Ron. Why was he thinking about Ron.

"So hogsmade today. You guys ready".

"Yes"

"I don't know".

"Why not Draco".

"Not feeling well i guess".

"Stay behind then".

"I will". That was all he said. Blaise and Pansy were really worried about him. Wasnt one to get too sick or fall sick at all. After breakfast they, went to sign the sign out sheets. Draco went back to bed. He must really be unwell. Pansy wanted to stay but Draco wouldnt let her. Go enjoy he said, he will be fine and all. Pansy reluctantly agreed.

Hogsmade was all the same as they left it. Partially because the muggles there helped build, and the community isnt so divided. But one thing was evident some people werent too kind too known deatheater sympathizers. But people didnt know the difference between pure blood purist and pure blood wizard. To them they were one in the same actually. So slythrines for the first time in there lives were subjected to bullying. The same bullying other houses had been facing.

Pansy wasnt feeling all too sure about being in hogsmade. She wanted to stay behind, but also she needed to buy somethings for her self since Blaise has gone to Merlin knows where. Ok, she said to herself. Quick in and out. Pansy entered the first shop, the atmosphere was what was expected.

She picked up her items and made it too the till. Abit of a line but manageable. When it was Pansy's turn, the chasier turned her nose up and told her that, her blood money is no good here. Pansy tried to bargin but that made things worse. "Get out you evil thing". With that Pansy left. She stood outside the shop for a minute and started walk back to Hogwarts.

Blaise had found his target. Ron was staring at the menu he had stared at for years and it remained unchanged. He thought he would get a coffee and some biscuits nothing new.

As he was just about to order Zabini is all his glory was walzting in like he owned the place he probably did but that's neither here nor there for Ron. "Blaise", he said with a sigh.

"Missed me".

"Not really", Ron said. He was half joking he felt a type of way about him. But he wouldn't say that he outwardly missed though.

Blaise only laughed at the omegas attitude, he found it cute to say the least. This was gonna be fun for them honestly.
"What did you order?".

"Coffee and some biscuts".

"Good, good".

"I will have a cuppacino then".

Your stomach mate.Ron did not care what the other was eating. They sat down in silence and waited for their orders. Ron wanted to say something, but he wasn't sure what to say.

"So....", both of them started. You first said Ron. He was quite embarrassed actually. Blaise was making him shy. Ron wanted the ground to sallow him. There orders came to them floating and remained in the air. Well that was magically unnecessary.

"So , how are you holding up. Since our last meet up I mean".

"Good. Just had a passing hangover".

"Ahh same".

"I was thinking.....we should meet up during break. Go to Spain or Mauritius. We have a house there".

A house, in Spain or Mauritius. But this was zabini probably both. Ron kept quiet and sipped his coffee. "Uhmm.........look Blaise, I would love too. But my mom you know".

"Won't she allow you". She won't he answered.

If it were last Year then maybe. Now he wasn't allowed to go to Diagon alley alone. Let alone Mauritius or Spain, both he had never been too. Being an omega was to restricting.

"Ron, its okayy I get it".

"Ohh you do". Ron scoffed. He hated getting sympathy for his new secondary gender. Merlin it was suffocating. "Stop Zabini. Don't".

"Ron I am sorry, okayy. I didnt mean. Not like that".

"Its okay. I am leaving. I need fresh air".

"I will go with".

No stay. Ron took himself and left. Anybody could tell that the omega was frustrated. So they stayed out of his way. Blaise finished his cuppacino, and hurrdly left the establishment, he gave Ron a head start but he knew where he went.
When he caught up the omega was huffing and puffing in frustration. A typical description of Ron.

"Ron, wait. Let me explain".

"No need. Go away!".

I" didnt it like that. I know you're sensitive and still coming to terms-"

"How could you know how I feel. From person to porcelain. I am not longer human Blaise. Just a dainty piece of porcelain". He started to laugh. Blaise didnt move. He felt sorry for the boy. And some sympathy for him and as if on que Ron turned around and yelled at him while shoving snow in his face. "DONT YOU DARE PITY ME!".

"It's sympathy Ron".

"I dont nee-d".Ron broke. He started crying. The first time since he presented. As he started wailing, past emotions and buried brusies came onto the surface.

"I was supposed to make mom proud. I...I...I...am a.....a.failer". Ron increased the volume to his crying, this caused Blaise to go to him. Blaise kneeled beside him and embraced him. You're not a failure.
Never think like that again.

Ron looked up at him and didnt not say a thing. The autumn wind was truly chilly. He hadnt felt this before. Blaise wiped his tears. A first.
Let's go back he said. He helped Ron up. Half hugging they walked back to hogwarts. People stared and whispered started. While they were, walking Harry saw them and quickly rushed to Ron's side. Hermione was no where in site.

"Whats wrong Ron. You okayy. What happened. Zabini, I swear to Merlin and Jesus if you......."

"I did nothing Potter. Ron got emotional. I only helped him".

"Okay. Give him to me then".

"No. Ron said. Continue with your day. Dont bother. Harry was stunned. What's going on here".

"Ron come on mate. Let me help".

"Don't bother Harry. I am fine".

"You're not fine you look like you were crying, if he did something".

"He didn't". Ron snapped at him. He didnt want to bother Harry, he had enough on his plate.

"No your my mate let's go back. Dont argue Ron". He didn't , both alphas escorted him back. And people saw what they wanted to see. Ron Weasley was a slut with two Alphas. That was the general consensus among the students.

Ron's walked back to Hogwarts had gained unwanted attention. Looks and whispers from people who used to fear getting on his bad side now they call him all kinds of things.

"Let go. He told Blaise. I can make my own way back".

"You sure".

"Yes".

Okay then. Blaise let go and Ron walked up to Gryffindor tower with Harry following behind. He entered his room without a word off goodbye to Harry or anyone. Harry couldn't follow him into the room. He was an alpha and the charms didnt allow him too. But he could follow Zabini.

"Zabini, what's up with Ron".

"Not my story to tell".
"I know you to are getting close but don't try anything you hear".

"I only have good intentions with Ron, our dear Saint Potter". Blaise said that intentional disrespect and Harry knew.

"I am just saying. Find someone else to get your dick wet". That was a threat and he knew it.

"Mhmm". Blaise smirked. What the hell was Potters problem. "Why......are you obsessed with him. I thought you liked the sister".

"Ginny and I are none of business and Ron is my best mate. So don't even think about hurting him".

"None of my business you say. Then leave Ron and I to our business then".

This prick was all Harry thought. "Whatever". Blaise said and began walking away. Oh Harry was gonna make sure whatever Blaise is planning not to take fruition. That he promised.

Chapter Text

Harry was beyond annoyed. The fact that Zabini was being an asshole had him furious, he cared about Ron more than anyone he felt for the poor boy. now he needed to find Hermione and lucky enough he knew where she was. the astronomy tower. To his surprise Hermione wasn't alone, Parkinson, Hermione was with Pansy Parkinson. Alone in the astronomy tower. To say Harry was shocked would be an understatement, he knew of the Alphas liking with the other omega and he had advised to his friend to stop being a chicken and just go for it, he didn't think she would this fast in such a short time.

"Uhmmm, i can back.... If you want."
"Out Harry!".
"Sure"; Harry stumbled out of the tower almost tripping over himself. Wow they were truly immersed in the activity. Hermione Granger making out with someone on school grounds. This truly is a new world. After a few minutes Parkinson ran out of the tower, avoiding eye contact of course. Harry didn't know if it was because she didn't like him or the fact that she didn't want to be found out being a pure blood and all.

"So you and Parkinson huh, quick moving".
"piss off". He could sense that she didn't want to talk about it, so he dropped the conversation. "Harry. What did you rush over here to talk about". She was vexed. "Ron and Zabini. They are closer than we thought". Hermione couldn't believe what she was hearing, because there was no way Harry was this bothered about Ron and Zabini. "Look Harry, Ron can take of himself and Zabini isn't Nott so I literally have no idea why you're even stressing about this". To Harry, Hermione's statement sounded like she was calling him too invested.

"Don't you think you're fantalizing him".

"In-fantalizing him, me, Hermione I am looking out for him. He looked like he was crying. His eyes were red"

"Okay, then where is he. Since you're here with me".

He didn't expect this attitude from Hermione. He gets her being annoyed at him for messing up her special time with Parkinson but why was she dismissive of Ron's problem. "Hermione! Our friend might be in danger and you're busy being annoyed at me for messing up your snogging time". Hermione couldn't believe her ears, how could Harry accuse her of being a bad friend to Ron. "I am not doing this with you right now. Where's Ron".
"In the dorms".
"Thank you".

"Congratulations on snogging Parkinson".

"Shut up harry".
The two alphas were back to their cheerful self. Hermione and Harry made their way too the dorms, since they could not enter the omega dorms they stayed in the common area and asked a third year omega if they can call Ron down. They had to wait a bit for Ron to come down to the common area, he was half asleep when he came. Ron knew what they wanted to talk about, but sadly he wasn't in the mood. " I know what you guys want to talk about, can we just drop it".

"You see that". Hermione spoke but harry wasn't hearing it. "Ron we're worried about you damn it". This made Ron mad. He didn't ask them to be worried and the only reason they are worried is because his an omega now. If he was a beta they wouldn't give a rat's ass, he told himself. "Harry he clearly is perfectly fine and the crying earlier was just an early sign off heat". Ron couldn't believe his eyes how dare she say, minimize his experience and emotional breakdown to just heat. "Fuck off Mione". The alpha wasn't apologetic at all and that bothered Ron. "She didn't mean it like that Ron". He was lying of course he knew that Hermione meant every word but Harry was trying to do damage control. "Are you in pre heat Hermione". That question came as a shock to her. "No I am not". Then the stink is coming from the ghosts then huh, Ron said that with all the attitude he could muster without gagging at the Alphas stink. "I am going to bed". Ron went back to his bedroom to sleep but that proved difficult, he left the alphas standing there, he couldn't handle Hermione's pre―rut.

"So instead of a preheat it was a pre―rut huh".
"Don't get cheeky Harry". Harry wanted to laugh but knew that pre―rut Hermione would send him flying across the halls and he doesn't fancy that flight. "I am going to the cooldown rooms". She said quickly and made a turn. She felt stupid not seeing the signs of her pre―rut, if Harry hadn't interrupted her in the tower she and Pansy would have been in real danger, well more danger for Pansy. She chuckled at that thought, and didn't feel guilty. Pansy liked her and she liked Pansy so going all the would not be that bad anyhow.

When Harry reached his room, he just fainted on his bed, what an eventful Saturday and this was just the first Saturday back at Hogwarts, more were coming and there's nothing he could do to stop them. He didn't even change and before he knew it he was fast asleep.

Pansy ran out off the tower, not even making eye contact with Harry, she did not want to acknowledge him standing there because that would mean she would be acknowledging that she lost control and with Hermione no less, an muggle or in her sires words a mudblood. The omega made a beeline to the dungeons and straight to her dorm. Draco was already in his pajamas ready for bed. She was not. Draco saw something wrong with the other, obviously she would be so frazzled, she's Pansy not some stupid first year. "Everything alright Pans".

"Uhmm, no. I just,......uh......uh......snogged Gr.......an..ger." Draco was awestruck, shocked no gob-smacked maybe smacked in the face. Their was no way that his best friend in the whole world was telling him that she made out with an alpha on school grounds, certainly not. It was a prank. He stood there saying nothing. "Okay Pans, good joke almost got me there". Pansy looked at him, eyes wide. He mouthed and oh. So it was true. Draco sat pansy down, if he was reacting like this how the hell was she taking it. "Lets get you in your pajamas okay. Off with the outside clothes".

"okay". Draco helped her undress and get dressed as well. He started brushing her hair, this always seemed to calm her down with this action even though her hair is short now. "We were talking about astronomy and one minute later I was looking into her eyes and.......we snogged. Like really snogged. And i was loving it". Pansy began to breakdown, in-between her sobs she became incoherent. Draco felt bad, he began crying too. What they didn't know in there heart to heart was the two other roommates were listening in from the outside. And little did they know everyone will know by breakfast tomorrow.

The door opened and Pansy quickly wiped her tears, the two just went about their nightly routine. They didn't acknowledge each other only went to sleep and
nothing else. Draco told pansy not to worry and as long as people didn't see her with Granger she's fine and no rumors would stir.

"Did you hear Parkinson snogged Granger, such a slag".
"She one of them loose ones now".
"Oh Merlin, everyone has lost all morals".

Oh Dear , was what Ginny thought. She saw them together for barely three seconds and the rumors are already swirling, heck by the end of breakfast she will be with child according to those loonies. She felt for the girl truly, she knows what it means to be the topic of gossip in Hogwarts, heck she and Harry were prime from the time they started dating to when they broke up to when she and Luna got together.

"Hermione did you hear".
"Hear what". Of course she didn't know, for some reason rumors started up alphas never affect them nor do they reach them, but the omega merlin forbid, she doesn't take accountability for her actions. "The others in the bathroom are saying that you snogged Pansy Parkinson, bloody nonsense right".
Hermione didn't say anything. She just looked at her breakfast. It was the first fucken weekend of the first fucken week. She wondered how this got out, probably Harry's stalking fans. She sent an accusing eye to a already confused Harry.

"You snogged who". Ron really knew how to have a private conversation. "Pansy Parkinson answered Luna, this earned her a soft shoulder jab from her omega Ginny." I am not gonna ask. Ron suddenly announced". Hermione stopped eating her breakfast. she clearly did not want to talk about it, her rut still in being present but tamed by oppressors. The suppressed aggression did not make her the best candidate for small talk right now and everyone knew it. after she was done eating Hermione left the great hall, on her way out she saw Pansy coming in, head down. like she was ashamed of them and their kiss.

She did not not care for this nor did she want to honestly. Pansy saw her and yet she did not raise her head still. She was beyond ashamed in her opinion. Her reputation was down the drain and soon her family would hear, her sire would hear, and when she does, Pansy would be properly punished for this. All she had to do was wait. Breakfast ended as it began, with whispers and hushed insults all targeted at the prime time topic of the day, PANSY PARKINSON.
She heard all the words she once used to describe girls in her thoughts never out loud, she was better than that but the ones she had iced out or simply ignored were not doing the same.

"uppity slag".

"Don't listen to them". Pansy did not reply, she ate too little of her breakfast and left the hall and back to her dorm. she did not want to deal with the outside world right now. A ghost came in to the dorm," ALL MEMEBERS OF THE IMMACULATE HONOR CLUB TO MEET IN TEN MINUTES". Oh no, she sobbed, not this not today, an emergency meeting like this meant one thing the rumors had made their way to the teachers. as if it begin the trending topic wasn't enough, now she's a cautionary tale.

"Pansy, you okay, I can make up an accuse."
"Thank you, but you know the old bat wont allow it".

"Omegas, you are the future, you need to be an example to others, your peers and your younger schoolmates. Now I don't know what has gotten into you all but I am disappointed and your sires and dames would be too. Snogging, walking alone with alphas, alpha and omega relationships. You all need to do better, some of you come from noble and prestigious families these actions will shame them and you. NO ONE WANTS A USED OMEGA."

Pansy felt small and she only felt this way when her father berated her, hearing the old bat croak made her want to tear up. she took a deep breath in and exhaled a chocked cry. For those who didn't believe the rumours at first this was a confession, The great Pansy Parkinson, snogging alphas at school, now this was a new low now Draco was the only well behaved omega left the example will all need to follow. After the endless croaking and berating, they were dismissed.
Pansy and Ron were asked to stay. She knew what coming next.

"Pansy, you are not acting like you usually do, snogging Granger and causing her to go into heat. Its just not right."
" Yes ma'am, sorry ma'am"
"Ron as a newly out omega, i know you still struggling. But please be careful, an alpha like Blaise Zabini will never be with an omega like you he is just playing you, please see that you keep your dignity no alpha likes sloppy seconds of another one. an omega that takes more than one alpha to bed is a used object no one respects".
Ron did not reply he wanted to get out of that room quickly, he did not know how anyone with a functioning brain can internalize this nonsense. Pansy's thoughts
polar opposites too Ron's. she was internalizing it, and crying regretting ever being alone with Hermione in the first place, she wanted this guilty feeling to be over, to go unnoticed again, to live in her head. it was safer there.
