Chapter 1: Fawkes

The funeral of Dumbledore is over, everyone is devastated. The sky is almost black in the day, clouds heavy with tears, air strangely suffocating, the whole scene seems changed not a bit like the welcoming presence of Hogwarts.

It is as if the very core of the Hogwarts is weeping for the loss of magical world.

Hagrid hasn't stop crying since the funeral started. Hermione is trying to make him feel better with Ron besides her looking like he don't know what to do, he probably not. Ginny is trying to get his attention but he keeps avoiding her, looking everywhere but at her.

McGonagall had tried to speak to him but he just didn't want to talk, what is there to talk? Voldemort is getting stronger and stronger and now they don't have their leader, who can tell them what to do, sure he had his issues with Dumbledore about not giving him information about him that may very well result in changing his whole life like prophecy, but he didn't wanted to lose him, How is he supposed to defeat Voldemort now ?

"Harry "Hermione is waving her hand at him like she is trying to get his attention for some time now. He looked around and noticed Ron and Remus are there as well, he was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even realised when they joined him.

"Sorry you said something Hermione, I didn't hear you."

"I asked if you wanted to come with us for a walk" she said, looking nervous like she was afraid that he will refuse.

Apparently their worry about him has reached the level where they could no longer leave him alone. He really didn't have any other option did he? They won't leave him alone unless he give in.

"Sure, where do you want to go?" he asked nonchalantly.

"Astronomy tower " Ron replied hurriedly, he looked uneasy like he couldn't wait to get away from people and harry couldn't fault him.

"Okay, lets go" harry can feel the stares of Ginny and Remus as he walked away.

"So, How are you?" Hermione begin.

"I am fine" Harry replied quickly, too quickly. If the huff of frustration was any indication.

"Come on mate, you dont have to pretend in front of us" Wow Hermione is rubbing on Ron.

"Really guys, there is nothing to tell, yeah I feel a bit down but don't you all?" He tried to convince them.

"You know you are not alone, right?" Hermione asked, if only she knew how lonely he felt right now .

Harry was saved from answering by Ron.

"Is that Dumbledore's pheonix ?"Ron asked looking out of the window.

"Yeah, Fawkes. But what it is doing? " it was flying towards lake which was frozen, was the bird thirsty?

"Phoenix takes birth from ashes . why it is flying towards frozen lake? Harry asked aloud.

"Phoenix is a magical creature which bond for life, they don't take it well when their Owners die an unnatural death, there are some theories that say they die after such an occurance other say they simply leave never to be seen again, but No one have ever able to prove either theory with enough evidence-" Hermione said almost talking to herself like she do when she tries to come up with most logical conclusion but Harry was not listening to her anymore. His mind was working on its own, faster than he could cope, he didn't realised he was running until he heared his freinds calling him to stop. But he didn't, he couldn't. He ran as fast as he could, 'Pheonix bonds for life and Dumbledore was dead, Pheonix is a magical creature born from fire, it was flying towards frozen lake, was it trying to die to meet Dumbledore? Dumbledor hadn't seem worried when Fawkes died in his office from fire, while harry panicked. Was it because he was alive and well back then and nothing could happen to a pheonix as long as their owners is well and nothing injured them badly. Do they die if something happens to their owner? he certainly seemed like it is trying end its life. Is it why pheonix are so rare? Because they don't live without their witch or wizards?

His legs were aching, he was gasping for air but he ran, he was on the grounds now running with all his might.

Dumbledore will not want his familiar to die out of some twisted loyalty will he? He just has to talk with Fawkes and convince him, he will do it for Dumbledore.

He could see him now, he ran, he was so close, Fawkes was almost about to touch the ice.

"Fawkes -" he tried to call it when he tripped over the root of a tree and fell over Fawkes just when Fawke's wings touched the ice of lake. He could vaguely hear his friends shouting his name, they were still following him.

Suddenly there was a blast, so powerful, that he flew backward by the force of it and landed roughly on the ground and then there was only pain and darkness.

A/N: what do you think so far?
