Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix
By Maddy
Chapter 28
A/N Yes the last few chapters have been *very* short I know! You'd expect them to get longer so would I but for some reason that I can't quite explain they're getting shorter, I have a feeling that this chapter will probably be shorter and I will spend time trying, trying being the important word to make it longer.
Suddenly a horned Eagle owl (is there such a breed?) came flying through the window and circled them both, before quickly landing on Harry's shoulder.
Harry then felt a tugging at his navel and found him self in a grassy field with the owl still on his shoulder. The owl then changed into Nicola. Harry stared at her, "Nicola?"
"The one and only."
"I thought only inanimate objects could be port keys."
"Yes, that's the theory but I don't practise it. We at the order of Phoenix don't always go by the book. If you're wandless magi you have more magical power therefore enabling spells that normal magical people could not do. I decided to save you and turned myself into a portkey, sounds near impossible probably because it is and flew to you."
"How did you know where I was?" asked Harry dubiously "This could be another trick that Voldemort is playing on me."
"Harry you were speaking in parseltongue all I had to do was change into a snake and listen to you, afterall I understand the language if I'm the animal. Surely you know that?"
"No."
"How much of those diaries have you read?"
"Umm, about 10 pages."
"10? You're meant to read them as fast as possible."
"I now, but I've been spending time with Sirius and I sort of forgot about them."
"You forgot? The order is your whole life now, don't you realise that? You won't be able to get a normal job it has to be advanced; you know how lucky Dumbledore was to get a job at Hogwarts? My mum can't work under her name any more. Have you heard of (the name of the person that wrote unfogging the future, I can't find her name in my books at the moment)? My mum has to write under a different name because people are in awe of people with more power then them."
"Great, another thing that I can add to the pill of no's." replied Harry dryly.
"I never asked for it either, now we need to get back to Hogwarts."
"Where are we?"
"The place that I turned myself into a portkey while flying, so absolutely no idea, we're about half an hours flight as the crow flies, but I had to fly across the forbidden forest and if you walk through it that adds a day. Look you need to change into a phoenix, it can't take that long how much have you practised?"
"Umm, I tried once, got frustrated and gave up."
"That really helps, sometimes I just give up on you. Ok you need to sit down on a chair preferably."
"We have no chair."
Nicola waved her hand. "You have one now. Close your eyes and clear your mind."
"That's a little hard."
"Harry! Just concentrate. You're sitting on a tree."
"I've never done that before."
"Harry!" Eleanor exclaimed teeth clenched. "You're sitting on a tree, the wind is blowing at your feathers."
"Feathers?"
"Are you a phoenix or not! The wind is blowing at your feathers, the sun is out and the oranges of the autumn leaves are falling to the ground. You are quite down; it's near your burning day. Then suddenly a twig nearby sets alight, you spread your wings and land on the twig, and you burst into fames and turn into ashes. You are now small, alone in the world, unfurling your wings you fly you soar through the air the wind as your guide you are free."
Nicola opened her eyes, she was now a phoenix but Harry was still a human being sitting in his chair his eyes closed. Nicola changed back sent a fire hex at him, changed back into a phoenix and sang. Harry stayed his eyes closed not noticing the hex. 'At least he's cleared his mind, he can no longer feel pain.' Thought Nicola.
Ten minutes later Harry still had his eyes closed 'I swear I didn't take this long' thought Nicola annoyed she was already hungry.
Just then Harry burst into flames. 'Finally, but does it have to last that long, can't he just turn into a Phoenix already, that just looks scary, or is that the effect of leaving a fire spell on someone to long?'
Harry did turn into a phoenix. "Yes!" exclaimed Nicola. "Now change back."
"Why?"
"To make sure it wasn't a fluke. Just think of you being Harry, it should work."
Harry changed back to himself then changed back to a Phoenix with a pop. "Thank god. Now we've got to fly back to Hogwarts. Just take care with flying it takes a while to get used to especially when Phoenix' are the fastest of all birds."
Nicola flew off followed by Harry whose wings were flapping jerkily. They eventually arrived at Hogwarts, which looked like Hogwarts yet unfamiliar due to the fact that one of the towers was missing.
They flew into Dumbledore's office knowing it was a bad idea for two Phoenix' to fly into the Gryffindor common room. "Ah Miss Johnson and Mr Potter, so glad you're back in one peace."
They popped back at once. "Nicola, you should have told us you were going to get him you got P. McGonnagal worried."
"But not you? I'm offended grandfather."
Harry coughed. "Oops I wasn't meant to say that." Exclaimed Nicola
"So how did you save Harry then?"
"She turned herself into a port key."
"That's very dangerous Nicola!"
"So was Harry going with Voldemort, which I haven't had a chance to lecture him about yet, he still did it."
"So, it was better then getting the whole house killed."
"You gave him your wand!"
"I'm a wandless magi!"
"That's not the point, you shouldn't have gone off on your own with the dark lord."
"If I had my choice there would be no dark lord but due to the circumstances we are in I thought it was the best thing to do!"
"No it was the stupid Gryffindor thing to do."
"I'm a Gryffindor literally what do you expect?"
"I expected you to use your brain for once. Honestly did you forget to put your one in this morning? First you run off with Voldemort and then it's 'Feathers? I don't have any'"
"Hmm, now you need to tell me what happened." Broke in Dumbledore
"Professor! Are they back yet?" asked Hermione opening the door. "Thank God!" she said walking in. "I still can't believe it was P. Vector!"
"Vector?" Asked Nicola
"She let Voldemort in, she's a death eater!"
a/n so there you go it was longer.
Googoo4you: yes you are very blunt
Acree: Popcorn? I wish I had some popcorn, it's lent I'm not allowed to have any. :(
So the next chapter is the last I might post it later today, once I've written it. I like the next chapter *grinning* it's very funny.
