Chapitre 2

Hogwarts 12:20 AM

Dumbledore stood in his office with a pensive demeanor. He was pacing his study floor when he glanced over at his window and saw a white speck flying over the midnight sky.

He knows was the only thought that crossed his mind in that second. As he saw that the owl was fast approaching he strode over to his window and opened it. A minute later a ball of white feathers hurled into the room and landed gracefully on top of his desk. As he reached for the letter he noticed that the owl had a somewhat knowing look in her eyes. When he finished untying the letter the white owl flew over to Fawkes perch and shoved him over to which Fawkes replied by shrieking and giving her a glare that would make the potion master proud. Smirking he opened the letter:

Professor Dumbledore,

Just a few minutes past midnight I received a letter from my mum and I think you have some information to explain to me.

Phoenix

The letter confirmed his earlier suspicions. He let out a deep sigh. Something tells me I won't be having any sleep tonight, I hope Har-Phoenix takes this well. Dumbledore walked over to his bookshelf and removed an emerald colored sack; he reached inside and took out a hand full of floo powder. Next he proceeded to walk over to the fireplace.

"The Burrow" he cried out. Moments later he found himself looking at the Weasley's kitchen.

"Albus? Is something the matter?" asked a worried Arthur.

"Nothing dangerous Arthur, I was wondering whether you would do me the favor of picking Harry from Privet Drive. Then would he be able to wait for me and my son to pick him up?

"Yes…of course" replied Arthur though it was clear he still wasn't done processing what Albus had said.

"Splendid, I'll be there in about two hour's thank you again."

"Wait Albus you said your son!?" Arthur looked as though he had just been told he was having a set of twins.

"I'll talk to you soon" said a smiling headmaster. With that he popped his head out leaving a bewildered looking Mr.Weasley in his kitchen.

Ok now to deal with Phoenix

The headmaster sped over to his desk and took a quill and piece of parchment and started writing when he was finished he quickly read through it again, nodded and then walked over to Fawkes and asked him to take it to Phoenix Aris Dumbledore. The bird nodded and if you looked closely into his eyes you would see little twinkles, much like the headmasters, reflected in his beautiful eyes. Meanwhile Hedwig puffed up indignantly to which the headmaster said "I thought you would rather rest as your flight was pretty long and you arrived here rather quickly." That comment seemed to calm the ruffled bird and she contented herself with eating Fawkes food.

Next he went over and grabbed another handful of floo and threw it into the fireplace again.

"Severus Snapes Room"

"Yes headmaster "came the surprisingly calm voice of Snape lacking his usual venom.

"Its time" came the grave answer of the headmaster. Snape nodded and stepped into the Headmasters office. "Hope this night doesn't have the amount of teenage theatrics I have been imaging over the years" growled the potions master.

Dumbledore's only response was a huge smile with eyes twinkling madly.

Privet Dr. 1245 AM

Phoenix had been shocked to suddenly see a flame of fire and then a majestic looking Fawkes in the middle of his room. That's the third time tonight I almost died of heart failure thought Phoenix sarcastically.

He took the letter from Fawkes, who quickly disappeared in a wall of flames, and quickly read through it.

Phoenix,

You are quite right my child we do have a lot to talk about. However through a letter isn't the way. Mr.Weasley will be arriving for you shortly and you will be staying at the burrow until I come pick you up which may take an hour. Ill see you soon my child.

Yours truly,

A.D

After reading the letter Phoenix quickly ran all over his room collecting his things and putting them away neatly [yeah right in his trunk. What would normally take at least thirty minutes took him five and he was left with only one thing to do; wait. At this he started thinking about the unusual letter. I wonder who Alexander Dumbledore is…Is he alive…did he know all along…does he even want me?

Pop.

"Harry is that you?" called out Arthur as it was quite dark as Phoenix had turned of the lights.

"Yeah" came the quite reply. Weird, thought Arthur, that voice sounded drastically different than Harry's, it was deeper, and seemed to have a soothing feel to it.

"Lumos…Harry?" this was definitely not the boy that he had seen a month ago at the platform.

"Yes Mr.Weasley its me although according to this letter my names Phoenix Aris and no im not a death eater or a malfoy …or at least I hope not" by the look on Mr.Weasleys face he seemed to have hit the nail on the head.

"Alright, lets go" Arthur said easily. Dumbledore sent me so I bet this has to do with what he said and why he asked me to pick up Harry.

"We'll be using a portkey har-Phoenix umm Aris?"

"Phoenix I guess" he said although he was defiantly paler than before.

"Yes, Phoenix, well hold on tight. 5.4.3.2.1" Somewhere distantly Phoenix heard Mr.Weasley say something but he wasn't quite sure what as he was focusing on controlling his breathing.

In a whirl of colors they were gone from Privet Dr…possibly forever.

Hogwarts 1:00 AM

"Are you sure he received the letter?" asked Snape for about the fifth time.

"Yes quite sure now calm yourself down child."Soothed the old Headmaster. The younger man made a face at the word child but said nothing more.

"What if he thinks that I never wanted him or that I treated him like I have because I truly do hate him? What if - "

"Child we can both stay here all night going over the many possibilities and do nothing, or we can head on over and face what's coming and at least do something. What do you propose we do?" asked a slightly irritated Dumbledore

"Fine" said Severus heading towards the door, "lets get moving, but if he starts throwing things I swear to Merlin Ill use you as a human shield, you old coot " snarled the professor.

"Dully noted my son" said Dumbledore. As he followed the professor he had a slight bounce to his steps.

The Burrow 1:15 Am

"Would you like anything to drink or eat Phoenix?" asked a worried Arthur. Phoenix was pale and was slightly trembling; obviously something had happened to the boy.

"No thank you MrWeasley."said Phoenix quietly. Cedric...Mum…da-James.

"All right why don't you sit no the couch and rest for a while. The kids are all sleeping so I'm afraid ill be your only company for tonight."

"It's alright, I don't mind and yes thanks ill sit down."

"So why the sudden change in appearance lad?" questioned Arthur softly. Something wasn't right and it was all connected to Albus.

"I I don't know. All of a sudden I changed into this and I don't know why." There were tears in his eyes and Arthur felt bad for making the child upset, after all he was still a child. Phoenix turned away and wiped at his eyes, he didn't know how but all of a sudden he didn't have much trouble in expressing his emotions. He felt Mr.Weasley squeeze his shoulder affectionately and smiled in response that earned him a small smile from the elder man.

"Would you like the new quidditch magazine? It just came out yesterday" Hopefully that would distract him for a while although Arthur doubted it.

"Sure, thanks" They stayed in silence, Phoenix starring at the articles and Mr.Weasley lost in his thoughts.

"Arthur, may we come through?" Both Phoenix and Arthur jumped at the sudden voice.

"Of course," Arthur called out," come in"

Phoenix looked up when he heard the door shut. In front of him stood the Headmaster and Snape!

"Headmaster?" questioned Phoenix with a truly confused looking expression.

"Ahh well I see you brought him safely Arthur. Thank you, we'll be leaving now, everything will be explained in the next meeting" said Albus cheerfully. Snape just stood off to the side examining the boy before him, the child was truly handsome and somehow he felt proud although he really didn't understand why.

"Thank you Mr.Weasley" whispered Phoenix and before he even knew what he was doing he had given Mr.Weasley a quick hug. Arthur was startled but quickly returned the gesture and said" Nothing to thank for Phoenix. Ill see you later, all right? He said kindly, Phoenix smiled and nodded in response.

"All right lets go. Grab on" Dumbledore held out a golden pendant in the shape of a bee. Severus walked over and grasped onto the pendant just as Dumbledore said "Bumble Bee Manor." And yet again he felt the same pull behind his navel and they disappeared in a rush of swirling colors.
