Here's Chapter 10. I won't say any more because I know you're all DYING to get an explanation. Hehehe. I'm so evil.
Chapter 10
"What do you mean I was a phoenix?"
"I got up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water," Ron explained, "and when I walked by your bed, a phoenix flew out of it, then it went out the window. You weren't in your bed, so I waited for you. A few seconds ago, the phoenix flew back into your bed, and suddenly, you're back in it as well. You were the phoenix."
"There must be some other explanation," Harry said.
"Well how do you explain the fact that you were having a dream about being a phoenix at the same time?" Ron shot back.
"Coincidence."
"Harry, I saw it with my own eyes! It happened!"
Harry sighed. "Okay, I believe you."
"Maybe Hermione would know why this is happening," Ron wondered aloud.
But the time didn't come right away, as she was chatting excitedly with Ginny about Care of Magical Creatures class.
Harry wasn't focused on the lesson at all in History of Magic, but this wasn't anything new. The teacher, Professor Binns, was a ghost, but his monotone voice was even deader than himself.
Somehow, Harry managed to make it through two more classes.
The common room was, as usual, filled with kids doing their homework or playing a game such as Exploding Snap or Gobstones. Harry could not tell Hermione about what had happened that morning, but he didn't feel like doing his homework either, so he played wizard chess with Ron. Hermione tried to help him as usual, but he still lost, despite the fact that Ron said that he was "improving slightly".
"I'm tired," Hermione yawned. "I'm going to bed."
"Wait," Harry said. He had to keep her there until the rest of the Gryffindors left. "I need help with my homework."
"What do you need help with?"
"All of it."
And for hours, Harry pretended not to understand the purpose of the 1902 Unicorn Convention, and that he didn't know how to do a Speed Spell.
When Fred and George finally packed up the proximity dungmines that they hadn't planted, and then went to their dormitory, Harry had to interrupt Hermione while she was instructing him on how to pronounce 'Fasium fudimus'.
"Hermione."
"Yes?"
"Something very strange happened this morning."
"What happened?"
Harry opened his mouth when Ron cut in, obviously tired of being left out. "I was getting a glass of water when all of a sudden a phoenix flies right out of Harry's bed and out the window. Harry wasn't in his bed. So I waited for him. The whole night. Without getting ANY sleep." He glared at Harry. "At about eight o' clock, the phoenix comes back through the window a goes back to Harry's bed. Two seconds later, Harry is also back in his bed, and says that he had a dream about being a phoenix."
He said this very quickly.
"Are you sure you weren't having a dream?" Hermione asked skeptically.
"YES I'M SURE!" Ron was very annoyed.
Hermione bit her lip, but then her eyes lit up.
"Wait a sec!"
She ran up the stairs. A few minutes later she came back down, only barely hanging onto a book that must have been a foot thick. The title was Abrum's Encyclopedia of All Things Magic.
She sat down and flipped through it.
"Yes!" she exclaimed. "I've got it!" She pointed to a spot on the book.
Animadus- the descendant of an Animagus whose blood produces molecules of the potion that turn a wizard into an Animagus, which makes them like an Animagus themselves. An Animadus will discover that they are an Animadus when they transform into their certain animal in their sleep. They will view this event as a dream, and may never know what they are unless another is there to witness it.
Harry looked up at Hermione. "So you think that I'm an-?"
"Animadus," she finished.
There was a long moment of silence.
"Harry," Hermione said, "think of what it was like when you were a phoenix."
"Okay."
Harry shut his eyes and remembered the wonderful feeling of flying. In a few seconds, that memory again became a reality, and he was flying around the common room.
"Harry!" Hermione called, "You can be a human again now."
Harry thought of being his normal self, walking around in the now seemingly insignificant world. His feeling of flying suddenly tuned into a feeling of falling- literally. Lucky for him, he landed on the couch.
"Smooth, Harry," Ron chided. "Remember to land next time.
"Well, now that my job here is done, I'm going to bed," Hermione said. "Oh, and remember Harry, you have homework to do."
So that's the chapter. It was going to be longer, but I took a big part out of it because I figured it would fit better with the next chapter. And remember, if you'd like to read any of my other stories, I would recommend Tom Riddle and the Spellbooks of Slytherin.
And with a smile, she walked up the stairs and into her dormitory.
