The phoenix was bored. It had lived and died, lived and died about 76 times by now. He had seen it all, heard it all, felt it all, tasted it all, smelt it all, and done it all at least twice. It had experienced the end of the worst Wizarding War and the start of the first Wizarding War. There was sure to be more, but what was the point of doing anything now the Dark Lord was defeated? Was there yet another wizard with such extravagance as his? The phoenix did not like Voldemort, yet he was an amazing wizard like his owner. But the "Boy Who Lived", as they call him, was definitely the end of Voldemort's reign of terror. Dumbledore had died only two years ago, as the phoenix remembers. He was in the office when Harry came up to see Dumbledore in his second year. Harry saw him die. Harry saw him be reborn from the ashes. Harry was foolish and thought that he had accidentally killed Fawkes. Dumbledore reassured Harry that Fawkes was okay. Fawkes and Dumbledore were very close. Fawkes was in the office when Harry came up to use the Pensieve last year. Fawkes had followed Harry, secretly, in to the memory of Severus Snape, the current headmaster. Severus had loved Lily Evans, whom Fawkes had met before. But Lily fell for James Potter, who Fawkes had also met before. Later in the years, Lily and James got married and had a child by the name of Harry James Potter. When Harry was just a baby, both of his parents were killed by Lord Voldemort. Voldemort attempted to do the same to Harry, but failed miserably. His powers were lost, and nobody knew where he was. Some said he was dead, and that the Potter boy defeated him, but Dumbledore knew better. Dumbledore told everyone that he was going to come back, but nobody listened.
