-Chapter Eight-
The fight was over. To Harry's surprise the whole thing hadn't lasted more than 15 minutes.
Harry told Draco what had happened between him and Kain, and Draco told him a bit about what had happened while he was gone. None of them noticed Hawkins coming up behind them until the man cleared his throat for the third time.
"Yes?" Harry asked, sounding so much like a Slytherin that it was scary.
"Where's Kain?" Hawkins asked.
"Down the corridor," Harry replied before he turned back to Draco. "You think I should check on Dobby and the rest of the House Elves?" the words were barely out of his mouth when Dobby himself popped up.
"Mr. Dumbledore sir sent Dobby to tell Harry Potter sir and Draco Malfoy sir to come down to the Great Hall."
"Thanks Dobby. How are the other Elves doing? Are they happy with their new task?"
Dobby's face broke out into a huge smile.
"Oh, they like to watch the secret passages for Harry Potter sir!" He squealed happily.
Draco was about to go after them when someone put a hand on his shoulder. He turned and stood face to face with Hawkins.
"He's friends with the House Elves?" the older man asked in a disgusted tone. "And they actually listen to him?"
"He's friends with lots of creatures that you wouldn't even consider looking at." Draco growled to the Commander while walking down the corridor. "Don't try to understand him Commander, and don't underestimate him. That could prove to be fatal."
-------------------------
There was complete chaos in the Great Hall. Nearly everyone in the room were injured and spells shot through the windows and bounced off the walls. It looked like a battlefield from the World Wars.
When the two boys entered they saw Commander Nowels running towards them, ducking and jumping away from spells that came flying.
"There you are! Hurry up! This way!" The Commander ran back again followed by Draco. Harry walked calmly through the spell rain, not being hit even once.
A minute later the three of them were in the room behind the teachers table. Ron, Hermione, the twins, Neville, Snape, McGonagall and Dumbledore were hanging over the Marauders Map.
"Here they are, Albus." Nowels said upon entering.
Dumbledore turned and mentioned Harry and Draco over to them.
"Thanks to Mr. Longbottom's bravery we have discovered that the group of Black Snakes that you and Commander Nowels saw, Harry, only was the first squadron, to put it in military terms. We need to send someone to the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix with letters for help. It seems as thought the Black Snakes are using every agent they have on this attack." The Headmaster said.
"Where do we two come in?" Harry asked.
"Well, Mr. Weasley here," Dumbledore nodded to Ron. "Told us that you two are Animagus and that you can transform into phoenixes."
Harry and Draco looked guiltily at each other then nodded.
"You know the way phoenixes can pop around without apparating, if you follow me? Well, one of you could 'pop' to the Order of the Phoenix and the other to the Ministry of Magic." Hermione said all this extremely fast.
Harry thought over this for a moment.
"Alright, I'll go. Draco?"
"Do I even have a choice?" Draco asked sarcastically.
Harry concentrated and began to glow white. He shrunk, got feathers, wings and a tail. In his place was a pure white phoenix with green eyes. Harry took a round room to try out his wings, then landed, to everyone's surprise, on Snape's shoulder.
"Show off." Draco muttered, making Harry glare at him. The blond boy concentrated and began to glow silver, and a second later a silver phoenix stood in his place.
Draco landed on Snape's other shoulder after a round in the room. The Potion Master glared at the two birds but didn't say a thing.
//Where are you going?// Harry asked Draco telepathically.
//Well, the Ministry's kind of out of question 'cause they would've kicked me out before you could say Quidditch if they found out that I'm a Malfoy.// Draco replied. //What if we meet somewhere in the middle and join our groups together? That would give us some time to plan too.// He continued.
//Good idea. We'll meet at the Stonehenge. If one group isn't there the other waits, deal?//
//Deal.//
Dumbledore held two parchments as he turned to the phoenixes.
"Harry," he said. "This letter must be delivered to Commander Brian Calloway, and only him." The only man gave the letter to the white phoenix and it was gone with a pop.
Harry felt like he was riding the wind; no, he felt as if he was the wind. It was wonderful and relaxing. There he could see the Ministry. It was extremely large, looking a bit like the Empire State Building.
As Harry popped up in the Aurors part of the Ministry, several of the people there gave a yell of surprise, jumped out of the way or tried to curse him. One or two even fainted.
'And those people call themselves Aurors? No wonder Voldemort's got such a strong hold on the Wizarding Community.' He thought.
Harry let his senses guide him to a door labelled 'Conference Room'. He could hear voices from inside. He used the Element of Air and made the doors open then flew in. The room was deadly quiet.
Harry spotted Calloway right opposite the doors, at the other end of the table. He flew over and gave the letter to the man then settled on the table.
Calloway read it then jumped up, barking orders.
"Hogwart's being attacked by Black Snakes!" there was a gasp in the room. "Talbot, get your squadron ready and into this room at once! You too, Merrick!" the people room quickly got up and ran to their tasks. Calloway looked back at the phoenix that was sitting at the middle of the table. "Very well. You'll have to wait here until I come back and then lead us to the school."
Calloway stood up and left the room, the letter was lying forgotten on the table. Harry flew over to it and read it.
'Commander Calloway,
Hogwarts is opened again but, unfortunately, under attack by the Black Snakes Order. We ask for your help as the situation is rather hopeless. Follow the phoenix, he knows what to do and use brooms.
Albus Dumbledore.'
'This makes it a lot easier than I thought. Wonder how Draco's doing?'
-------------------------
Draco, who had had a longer way to 'Ride-the-wind', as he called it, had just arrived the Order of the Phoenix's Headquarters.
He was a silver beam of light because of his speed and people threw themselves out of his way, not caring if they had to pick up a huge pile of papers afterwards. The silver phoenix let his instinct lead him to Doctimus Dorimus. In the end Draco almost collided with the man.
"What the Hell is going on?!" Dorimus yelled angrily. Draco gave him the letter and watched as the Commander of the First Squadron read it. "Wayans! Watson! Get that damned First Squadron on their feet, and into their uniforms! Hogwarts is being attacked by those slimy, sniffling, slithering Black Snakes!"
The people in the corridor just stood there for a moment then were off to find the members of the First Squadron. Dorimus looked at the phoenix who had perched at his shoulder.
"The letter says that you're our guide." He said. "Hope you're up to it."
-------------------------
Harry was at the moment flying in front of 40 Aurors on brooms. It was late at night but since it was late in July, it wasn't so dark.
There he could see the Stonehenge. He couldn't see Draco anywhere so he began to fly lower and lower, in the end landing on a stone in the middle of the circle. The Auror's looked stunned at Harry as he found a good pose to sleep in and put his head under his wing.
"Well, the letter said to follow the phoenix." Calloway said. "If he stops here, we stop here."
Half an hour later the tents where put up and several bonfires were lit. The Aurors where sitting around them talking about this mission and why in heavens name they had stopped here of all places.
Suddenly Harry snapped his head up.
//Draco?//
//No, it's the tooth fairy!// came the sarcastic reply.
//You wouldn't have happened to see a silver phoenix up there, would you ma'am? Or have you only flown lost?//
//Ha, ha, very funny Wonder Boy. Now get your ass up here and help me with this bunch!//
//Coming, no need to bite my head off.//
Harry spread his wings and took flight. The Aurors had no time to get their brooms and in the next minute they saw about 100 people on broom in the air above them. They were about to fire spells when one recognised the crest.
"Stop! That's the Order of the Phoenix!" the man yelled.
The Phoenix Agents landed outside of the circle of tents then walked into the middle of the circle. Harry and Draco where seated on the rock there waiting to see what would happen now. Calloway and Dorimus met a few feet to their left.
"Dorimus! You sure gave us a fright." Calloway said, shaking the other mans hand.
"Calloway, old boy. Good to see you. What are you doing here, by the way?"
"The white phoenix came with a letter telling us that Hogwarts was under attack. You?"
"Same, just that the silver one delivered the letter. They seem to have planned to meet here."
Everyone's eyes were on the two phoenixes.
//Ready to give them a shock?// Harry asked mischievously.
//You bet!//
In front of the Aurors and the Phoenix Agents eyes the two birds began to glow silver and white. A second later two young men stood there instead.
"Th-that's Harry Potter, the Gamemaster-" Calloway said in disbelief.
"And Draco Malfoy, Slytherins Silver Snake!" Dorimus cut in.
