A/N: You asked for it: Here's the sequel! Thanx for all your reviews, and sorry I messed up on the first one in a lot of ways: Yeah, Nicolas is A LOT older than him, but I thought he would make a nice character, so let's just pretend he's Dumbledore's age, now shall we? And I also messed up what he looked like, but don't worry, I won't mention his looks anymore. Also, I'm sorry whatever other mistakes I made 'cause when I was writing the first part, I was in a hurry. So anyway, just pretend for the sake of the plot! Enjoy!
All through Care of Magical Creatures, Albus couldn't get the mysterious egg out of his mind. What could it be?? Who could it be from?? Whatever it was, Albus couldn't wait to find out. Throughout the day, Albus and Nick kept running upstairs to check on the egg, but they were disappointed every time, until Saturday Afternoon, during the Quidditch Match: Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw. Nick was on the team; he was a beater, since he excelled at any sport, even muggle ones that Albus had never heard of. Instead, Albus and Cornelius were stuck in the audience, sharing Corn's binoculars.
"Corn! What's going on up there?" Albus asked desperately, poking Cornelius in the Ribs, hoping for a look.
"Just a minute, Al, don't call me corn!" He replied, almost resentfully, and set down the binoculars to glare playfully at Albus. Albus, who was, you could say, obsessed with Quidditch, used this opportunity to snatch the binoculars out of Corn's hand. "Thank you!" Al said, as he glanced into the sky, searching for the snitch. Suddenly, Cornelius cried, pointing to the ground frantically, " Albus! Look down there… It's a… bright gold, thing!!!!" Albus grinned to himself, and ignored him, figuring that Corn was just trying to get the binoculars back.
Over the loudspeaker, the announcer yelled, "Wow, great comeback from Ravenclaw… Wait! What's that? On the ground! Is it the snitch? Binoculars, somebody! What's down there??" Al's heart leapt as he desperately began to search the ground.
"There it is, Corn! Look! It's not the snitch… It's a-a bird? Holy smokes! It's a baby phoenix!!!" Albus cried, remembering his care of magical creatures class. Albus handed the binoculars back to Cornelius, and Dashed down the stairs of the bleachers to get a better look. Everyone, including the players, forgot the Quidditch game as everyone ran down to the field to get a better look. Albus was breathing hard as he ran down the bleachers, wondering where the bird had come from. As he reached the field, he slowed down, not wanting to scare the phoenix. Then he noticed something about the bird, it had a bit of eggshell stuck to his wing! Oh No! Albus thought. The Egg must've hatched, and the bird must've gotten out of my room! Albus took a deep breath and ran out onto the field, and snatched up the phoenix in his arms, and began to jog off the field, embarrassed.
"Why hello, Albus! What's this?" The headmaster, Professor Bulgrean asked, pointing to the small, shivering bird. Albus's heart leaped at being addressed by the headmaster. (Albus was very shy) Realizing that Bulgrean was waiting for an answer, Albus stammered, "He's my phoenix—I guess" Bulgrean raised one eyebrow in amusement,
"But it's only a little baby! Did you know that it is illegal to possess a phoenix without a license?" Albus's heart jumped into his throat, choking him in disbelief. "I-but-I didn't…" he tried to say, mind racing. "I believe we need to have a talk in my office, Mr. Dumbledore…" The headmaster said sternly, and beckoned Albus into the Hogwarts building.
Albus desperately searched to mob of students for Nick or Cornelius, but they were nowhere to be seen. Shaking, he gave up, and slowly followed Bulgrean, with bird cradled in his arm, to the Headmaster's office…
A/N: Sorry this was kinda short, but if I kept going, I'd have to make it REALLY long before I'd have another good stopping point. Same as last time, tell me if you want a sequel, and if so, I'll give you one, if not, I won't. Thank you for anyone who was nice enough to review my other stories, it really encourages me! So, I'll get the next part posted soon if you want it and Have a nice day! (I warn you, I won't be posting as often anymore on account of the fact that my break off of school ends tonight L) Please R/R!
