Disclaimer:
I do not own Harry Potter. I do this for fun, not for money. Any similarity to any persons living or dead is purely a coincidence. This is a work of fiction, though I believe in an element of truth with locations, so locations will be real and may be similar to current day areas in the locations. Read and enjoy!
Part 1: The Golden Phoenix
Fort Collins, Colorado
The little community at the bottom of Horsetooth Mountain was as normal as could be. There was little crime and the families were friends. No one had any issues with the people that they lived around. Taft Canyon had its own appeal to the residents and they were all involved. They had annual picnics in summer, the community yard sale day, and a small park where everyone came and just enjoyed the life of a neighborhood.
One such family living in Taft Canyon was just like all the others, or so they thought. Mark Jones, the father of the family, worked for the local Hewlett Packard plant as a line manager. He enjoyed his job and loved his family. Every morning he saw his kids off to the bus stop, and every evening he was home in time for dinner. He made a good living and couldn't wish for anything more. He had everything he needed.
Elizabeth Jones, or Liz as people called her, is the mother of the family. She worked at the local community college part time teaching Language Studies. Working only a couple of days a week, she also was able to volunteer at various organizations such as the food bank and the local library. Her family was her life and she was happy that she could do all that she wanted with them because of her schedule.
Kaileh Jones was their only child. Kai, as her friends called her, was a fiery girl who loved life. She excelled at school, played soccer, and was protective a friend as one could ask for. Anyone you asked would call her a friend if they knew her. She was the kind of person who everyone liked because she had that sort of personality.
One could say that this story beings when Kai was born, but I like to think that it starts when she turned 11. But we will begin in the middle, on Kai's 8th birthday.
June 23rd, 1988
You could hear the party from down the street. At the end of the small cul-de-sac that they lived on was the Jones' house. In the nice sized back yard of their house was everything one could ask for on their birthday, at least as a kid. All of Kai's friends were there, and being who she was she had quite a number. After the party ended, it was late enough to head to bed after the long and exciting day.
Lying in bed, Kai didn't know if she was asleep or awake. It all seemed so real.
She was in her room and right before her appeared a beautiful bird. The bird seemed like it appeared out of fire, flames licking its entire body and yet not burning it. The bird's feathers could only be described as being golden with red and black tips.
Standing in front of Kai was a Golden Phoenix.
