It was the evening of the first day of the academic year at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Dumbledore was in his office mulling over what happened at the sorting feast earlier that evening, same could be said for a certain sixth year Ravenclaw.

/Flashback/ /Dumbledore's Point of View/

The sorting ceremony was going as well as always. There were only two students left, a regal looking black-haired boy and a nervous brown-haired girl.

Without warning a loud crash reverberated through the Great Hall, the source? The Entrance Hall. Seconds later a huge section of the huge wooden doors started glowing a bright, deathly red.

As I watched, the section of glowing wood flew across the hall towards me, trailing splinters throughout the hall, landing just shy of the staff table, making me and many others jump.

"Starting without us, are you? That's not a very nice thing to do" A deep voice emanated out through the hole in the wooden doors, quiet, but enough for everyone to hear it loud and clear, even at this distance. It was a voice that sent shivers rolling up my spine and caused my face to pale slightly, not that anyone could see as they were looking towards the door, this was going to be trouble, I could feel it.

Before I could reply to the voice, a red and black coloured Phoenix glided into the room. It was magnificent, the plumage on its head was pure red, but lines with red. The wings and body were red with black flame details on it and it legs were fully black.

The Phoenix transformed in mid-air into a human boy before landing halfway down the hall, between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw tables. The boy was 5'6 in height with an athletic build. Black hair sat on his head and his eyes were dark red. He was wearing a black t-shirt with the words 'Pyro' on the front, jeans and plain black shoes.

"What is the meaning of this intrusion!" I bellowed towards the boy.

"I thought you of all people would know why Dumbles" came an ominous voice that seemed to come from nowhere and everywhere at the same time, a gasp was heard from Ravenclaw table. A head poked out the ceiling and spoke with that same ominous tone "We are here, to enroll"

That voice that face, it couldn't be, could it?

A body floated out after the head and she could feel her legs go to jelly, it was him, the boy she had missed so dearly, her only male friend from years ago.

He had changed a lot from last time she saw him. He was not standing at 5'11 with a muscular build, his brown hair had changed to a dark green colour but his eyes, they stayed the same blue but had gotten deeper. He was wearing a plain red t-shirt without sleeves, showing off his strong arms and a pair of trackies, his look was completed by the heavy duty boots he wore on his feet.

Whispers could be heard throughout the hall as this child landed next to the first. Griffindor and Hufflepuff looked confused, Ravenclaw looked slightly scared and Slytherin looked angry.

"Come on then, let's sort you two troublemakers" I replied reluctantly.

Liam Jones, as the Phoenix boy called himself, stepped up and barely had the hat on for a second before it bellowed "SLYTHERIN" the boy in question walked over to the table while laughing and you could see the new Slytherin first years cowering away from him in fear.

The other boy, who called himself Shadow Ripper ended up in Ravenclaw, he walked over and was immediately hugged by the seventh year prefect, one Penelope Clearwater.
