Harry's eyes snapped open when his now sensitive ears heard the sounds of someone whimpering, he quickly stood up.
'I think it's coming from Hermione's room.' Zeo said, Harry nodded,
'You should check it out. You still haven't gotten the house warded by the goblins.' Dato said Harry silently headed over towards best friends room.
"Ron... please... stop..." Harry froze. What did she mean, he slowly opened her door to see her tossing and turning her face scrunched up in fear. Harry's frown deepened.
'Zeo, is there anything I can do?' The white dragon hummed in thought,
'Put your hand atop her head. This will let us see what is happening, and tell us if we can to settle it.' Harry nodded and placed his hand just above her head.
'It seems to be a memory.' Zeo said making Harry frown even more.
After leaving the memory, Harry's frown shifted into a scowl as his magic swirled around him in the form of shadows and light.
The memory was of when Hermione was petrified, Ron had come in, said that Harry had everything so he would take what he wanted, he had started to grope and fondle her before Poppy had come in, causing him to stop, he had made up an excuse of checking on her. Neither of them knew that she was aware of everything around her.
"That bastard." Harry seethed his eyes glowed green, Zeo and Dato growled as well, then he heard another whimper causing him to halt his rage. Harry looked back to see that Hermione had unconsciously clutched his shirt in her sleep.
"Harry... help..." She was unconsciously calling for his help. He gritted his teeth.
'Zeo, Dato, is there anything you two can do to help her?' He was pleading with them to help her.
'We could go into her mind and try and repress the memory, but with a brain like hers it could end up hurting her.' Dato said, making Harry scowl.
"I've never felt so helpless." he murmured as he held onto Hermione's hand.
He didn't let go until the following morning.

Hermione for the first time in a few nights didn't wake up in a frenzy, instead, she woke up peacefully like she used to before the incident with Ron.
"Hey..." Hermione nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard Harry's soft voice she planted her hand over heart trying to calm herself,
"Jesus Harry! Don't do that!" Said boy simply chuckled she cuffed his arm lightly.
"Prat." Harry faked a wounded expression before his expression turned serious.
"Hermione you had a nightmare last night." Hermione's eyes widened, she looked down at her lap.
"Why didn't you tell me Ronald did that," Harry asked, Hermione, winced at his accusing tone.
"I didn't want it to ruin your friendship." She felt his hands grab her shoulders forcing her to look at him.
"Hermione I couldn't give a rat's ass about his view of me. What I do care about it that fact that he took advantage of you, he did something that is inexcusable that means that his 'association' with us is over." Harry said Hermione had tears prickling at the corners of her eyes but nodded none the less.
"Good and Hermione if he does anything or tries anything let me know, cause if he does." Hermione gasped when she saw his eyes become an absolute green.
"He'll feel the dragon's wrath."

The next few days were fairly uneventful until Hermione noticed that Harry was getting taller at a faster than normal rate.
"Harry, why are you getting taller?" Harry winced at her tone. While she had said it like a question her tone said that it was a demand.
"Well... Remember when I told you how I was bitten by the basilisk and then Fawkes cried in the wound?" Seeing her nod Harry continued.
"Well Basilisk venom is one of the only known substances to be able to counter Phoenix tears, so I have both running through my veins." Hermione gasped, Harry started waving his frantically
"Don't worry they are actually doing more good than anything." Seeing her confused expression he decided he needed some help.
'Just bring her into your mind and we can tell her. And also talk to her about the memory. To do so just bump your fists together.' Zeo said,
"Umm, to describe it better we'll need to bump fists." Hermione lifted an inquisitive eyebrow but decided to believe her best friend/crush, she held out her clenched fist Harry brought his own to harmonize it.
'Heh Harmony.' Dato just had to get the last remark in.

Harry's Mind
XXX
When Hermione opened her eyes she was expecting to see her living room.
Not a massive dragon's head.
She screamed.
The dragon started laughing
"Oh man! That was great! I didn't even have to do anything! HAHAHAHA!" The black dragon was sent to the ground by an equally large white dragon.
"Sorry about Dato he's a tad... strange." Hermione nodded absentmindedly, she jumped when a hand was placed on her shoulder, she turned to see Harry amusement written on his face.
"I had a similar reaction." Dato snorted,
"Anyway Harry brought you in here for us to explain the situation," Zeo said before taking a deep breath.
"Due to the unique combination of Basilisk venom and Pheonix tears, Harry's magical core was forced to evolve in order to compensate, which leads to us being created as manifestation's of Harry's new power." Hermione'smind was working overdrive.
"Then is that why he's getting taller? His magic is fixing his physical faults?" Harry pouted,
"Way to make it sound like I was ugly." Hermione panicked.
"No that's not what I meant at all! You're really handsome and-!" She cut herself off when she realized what she just said, the two teenagers both blushed furiously while Dato gave another loud laugh.
"Way to be true to your feelings, kid!" Dato laughed, causing Hermione and Harry to blush brighter. After Hermione's mind rebooted she thought of something.
"I thought you said you were created from Harry's magic? If that's the case then how come you know about things from before you were created?" Zeo smiled
"I was wondering when that was gonna come up. You see while our bodies were made by Harry's magic, our minds existed prior to that. We lived our own lives before this, in fact, I even met Merlin and the first goblin king." Both teenagers eyes nearly popped out of their skull. Dato snickered at their expressions.
"Anyway, we would also like to talk to you about the incident with the red-haired weasel." Hermione tensed up at Zeo's words
"What about it?" She asked hesitantly, Zeo leaned her head down to Hermione,
"While neither Dato or I can repress the memory without harming you. We can, however, create something to do it for us." Seeing Hermione's confused expression Dato took over.
"She means that if Harry injects some of his magic into you over, say the next two months, it will create something like us. though it might not have been something that had its own life before hand, it will help to repress the memory."
Both wizards eyes widened.
The Dragon's grinned at the gobsmacked expressions
"Well? What are you waiting for? Get to it!" Dato promptly threw them out of Harry's mind.

Both mages eyes snapped open, before making eye contact instantly.
"Hermione? You all right?" Harry asked seeing her unmoving expression. Hermione shook her head,
"Yeah, I'm fine, I just thought of something though." Harry raised an eyebrow.
"What?" Hermione gave him a deadpan expression.
"You made up that whole 'Dragon King' prophecy."
Harry gave her an impish grin.

What should be Hermione's mental being, and should she get some form of magic from it?
