When Harrison woke the next day he checked on his weird bird only to find that it was on fire. Harrison was really scared and started crying when it turned to ashes. He was about to pick up the ashes when a small head popped out. It trilled and Harrison realized this was no normal bird. He was about to leave it alone when the bird trilled again and Harrison felt a huge surge of something explode outwards from the bird. Then, he heard a voice in his head,
"Hello, my friend."
" Who are you?"
"I am Seneril."
"What exactly are you?"
"I, my friend, am a Phoenix."
"A Phoenix? What's that?"
"We are firebirds gifted with many magical powers."
"Magic!?!"
"Yes, Magic, you too are gifted with magic although you don't know it."
"Is that how I was able to heat up and warp?"
"You are correct."
"I need to get breakfast but one last question, why are you with me? I am just an insignificant child!"
"Nothing is as it seems my friend…"
Seneril then disappeared to leave Harrison pondering their talk.
That night, just as Harrison was nodding off to sleep, he heard something outside. Their were two voices talking, "…have some fun, maybe bring one home."
"The Dark Lord would prefer us to do or job."
"I don't think he would object to some fun with any muggles would he?"
"If he is displeased it is your fault."
"Very well, let's start with this house."
Harrison heard a small rustle and then 'Alohamora'. He heard the front door open and ran downstairs only to find two black-cloaked men holding sticks walking through the door. Harrison took a step back and they spotted him. They stood in place for a second before raising their sticks and saying 'Avada Kedavra!'. Harrison however had already ran up to his room and gotten his stuff. He hurried out to the others' rooms to wake them up. He found Seneril in Jane's room and as he stepped in the men ascended the stairs. When they spotted him they shot red beams of light at him and Seneril told him to touch him. Harrison felt a wave of heat wash over him and they disappeared.
With a heavy heart Seneril ghosted through Harrison's mind shielding some thoughts from view. Sad that he even had to do this he returned again to sleep
Harrison groaned and rubbed his eyes. He was in an alleyway next to a Phoenix. Then the previous night's events came rushing back and he checked that he was OK.
When he was satisfied that he was he turned to Seneril and then realized he did not know how to initiate the mind talking. Shrugging he tried to make a tendril of his mind fly out and then immediately regretted it as he felt as if he ran into a brick wall. Then he heard a voice laughing in his mind, "That was quite entertaining."
"Oh, thanks."
"I suppose it's not your fault you don't know about Occlumency."
"Occlumency?"
"The art of protecting the mind."
"Is there any possible way I could learn this?"
"Yes, you will be with me until you are eleven."
"OK, what should I do right now?"
"Wait one second"
Seneril seemed to concentrate then a small glass vial appeared with a stopper.
"Stick out your hand"
"Why?"
"Just do it, you will see later."
Harrison held out his hand and Seneril's beak flashed leaving a drop of blood trickling down his hand.
"Put it in the vial."
"Why?"
"You ask too many questions, just do it."
"Okay, we are going to head to Diagon Alley, more specifically Gringotts."
"What is Gringotts?"
"A bank."
"OK."
Seneril had Harrison grab on to his tail feathers. With another flash they found themselves in the lobby of a huge bank. There were what looked like short, angry, and shriveled humans walking around. They did not notice their new arrivals until Seneril trilled. This seemed to lift up something and the short people noticed them. Seneril established a connection with Harrison and began to instruct him. "Go up to a desk and say you would like to make a withdrawal. Then say you don't have your key but you can do a blood test in order to recover it. Head to vault 687 and their should be some money. Take a couple handfuls of gold coins and put them in your pocket. Then ask if you could convert them into pounds. I will be waiting outside the bank."
Harrison followed the instructions and came outside to meet Seneril with the money in his pockets. He grabbed Seneril's feathers and they came up in front of a small agency that sold flats. Seneril had Harrison buy a nice but not too expensive flat (With the aid of a couple of glamour, levitation, and voice changing charms on the part of Seneril) With the key in hand Harrison had Seneril flame to their new flat.
As they entered the flat Harrison sighed and set his bags down and got out his penknife and wood to start whittling something. As Harrison took out the holly however Seneril stopped him with a shout in his mind, "What type of wood is that?"
"Holly."
"This makes things a lot easier! Harrison carve that into a stick about 11 inches long. Wait, dang it… We need a gem to focus the power."
"I have a weird gem that I'm not sure is real, could it work?"
"Get it out
and show me."
Harrison made a show of rummaging through his bag. He pulled it out and showed it to the curious phoenix. The equivalent of surprise showed up on the Phoenix's face.
"That is a very rare type of stone called a Mage Gem, wherever did you find this?"
"One of my friends gave it to me."
"Very well, in any case, continue to carve that stick and give it a nice handle. Oh and make sure you hollow it out."
After Harrison was finished he asked Seneril what he should do out loud.
"Pull of one of my tail feathers and put it inside, then put the gem on top."
"But it won't work!"
"Just do it anyway."
"Whatever."
As he put in the feather Seneril trilled and the hole sealed itself and the gem melted onto the top. "Voila, your very own wand!" announced Seneril loudly in his mind.
"What do I do with this?"
"Why, I shall train you in magic!"
Thus begin his training.
A.N.
Woot, 4 pages even though most of it is the fact that you need a new paragraph every time you have a new speaker in a conversation. In a fit of lots of inspiration I decided that Harrison in fact will be Harry Potter however I am at a loss as to how I will reveal him. Thanks to my small albeit loyal reviewers and readers!
