"Among my stillness was a pounding heart."

Madam Pomfrey was woken up at midnight to groans and shrieks of her only patient of the night. She reached Hermione's bed thinking the poor girl was having a nightmare. Nothing seemed to work as she saw her usual methods and spells to wake the girl up being rendered useless. Lost and desperate Madam Pomfrey tried to recall all the various illnesses, curses, and spells which could have put the brunette to such a predicament when suddenly lightning struck with a roar of thunder as Madam Pomfrey's mind got stuck on one very possible cause. 

"Oh dear Lord!" escaped the old nurse's lips as she started rolling the sleeves of the agonized and unconscious girl, even stripping her of her woolen sweater so that she could get much better access to the skin searching for only she knows what. As Madam Pomfrey turned Hermione a little she saw what she was looking for.

Green ink was spreading agonizingly slowly just a little beneath the lower region of her neck, swirling and shaping up to form the image of a majestic dragon.

(Your choice. Imagine the dragon to be a mixture of green and silver.)

Madam Pomfrey marveled at the sight she was seeing, clearly a first in all the years of her working at Hogwarts. She had heard great legends about Veelas and their mates and from what she knew and was seeing she could tell that miss Granger was a mate and that her Veela needs to be found immediately. Millions of thoughts ran through her mind concerning the possibility of the Veela being someone from Hogwarts or any other corner of the magical world, as she hurried to put a wet cloth over the burning forehead of her patient and another one to try and soothe the blistering red rashes forming around the magical tattoo.
There was nothing else she could do except watch the girl suffer and uselessly try to lessen her pain for it was not in her hands. Only Hermione's Veela mate could free her of this pain. Madam Pomfrey couldn't even fathom if Hermione was in this much pain what must her chosen Veela mate be going through. Not forgetting to inform the Headmistress she sent a quick word with the infirmary owl asking Professor Mcgonagall to come at once.

Her head snapped towards the sound of doors being slammed open followed by hurried footsteps as a disheveled Zabini came into sight, still in his nightwear, an agitated and deathly pale blonde floating behind him. 

Madam Pomfrey stood up leaving Hermione for the time being and focused on her new patient, gesturing towards the panicked boy to place his best friend on an empty bed.

 Zabini placed Malfoy on the white bed before speaking, "He... he just started screaming out in pain in his sleep thrashing around violently. I dunno... what happened to him?!"not hiding his troubled expression and concern for his friend.

'Could it be.....'

Madam Pomfrey moved towards Draco before starting to unbutton his shirt giving a silencing look to Zabini who tried to speak puzzled by her actions.

'I can't believe it. It's true.'

She grew grave faced but just as awestruck was she as the now wide-eyed Zabini who couldn't believe what he was seeing.

For the second time that night the doors were slammed open as the headmistress hurried inside with a worried inside. Facing Madam Pomfrey she gave her an urging look questioning upon the urgent calling but the old nurse just pointed towards the left chest area right above the heart of the pale blonde where a beautiful phoenix tattoo could be seen being formed. 

Madam Pomfrey sucked in a sharp breath as she stared warily at the strange magical tattoo

"Looks like we have a Veela and  a mate in the school headmistress."
