He opened the door and standing in the doorway was Mrs Figg! She was staring at him and admiring him with a loving look, Harry noticed that he was now the same height as Mrs Figg as he had grown quite a bit over the last few months.
'Mrs Figg?'
'Hello Harry, I sure you know that Dumbledore has sent me to collect you,'
'But, said Harry, that means you are a Witch!'
'Yes Harry, I am a witch, I have stayed here in Privet Drive to protect you ever since the night, when your parents were murdered.'
Replied Arabella.
'But why did you never tell me?'
said Harry slightly angry and confused.
'Well Dumbledore thought that it was best you see.'
but she was cut of she looked around and down the street and quickly pushed Harry into the house then quickly came in behind him, she closed the door and pulled out her wand. 'Harry get your wand' Harry quickly went over to his trunk and pulled out his wand, he went back over to Arabella and said
'What is it?'
'Death Eaters'
she replied quickly she was watching through a corner of glass and Harry saw in the glass four people dressed in long black robes with long hoods come down the street. Arabella told Harry to put his wand up his jumper and to walk past the large sitting room window.
'Why? If there are Death Eater's out there shouldn't we hide?'
asked Harry
'No! They will report back to Voldermort and if they think that you are still here they will go and come back later, but if they think that you have gone they will inform You-Know-Who and he will come now!'
she replied hastily.
Harry quickly tucked his wand up his jumper and walked into the sitting room and saw his uncle, aunt and cousin watching the television, Harry went over towards the window and pretended to pick something up from beside the window, he looked up and saw the death eaters look at him but he pretended he had not seen them and walked over to the sofa and sat down and watched the television.
'What are you doing? I thought you were leaving?'
shouted Vernon.
'Shhh'
snapped Harry, his eyes flashing with rage; they shut up immediately and very wisely as Harry still had his wand with him. Arabella quickly walked in looking very relieved.
'Hello Vernon, Petunia, Dudley how are you? I am just here to pick up Harry'
she replied.
'Why hello Mrs Figg, how. you what! You are here for Harry!'
Petunia snapped wildly
'Yes, I am here to take him to his new house for the rest of the summer holidays, then he will return to Hogwarts'
she smiled at Harry and then looked at her watch which Harry spotted to be an astrological clock, he had used on in Astrology classes.
'Oh my how tempus fugit Harry we must go'
at this she glanced at the Dursley's and smiled then glanced at Harry and walked out of the room.
'She's a witch'
Vernon spat he was glaring at Harry as if he had known all the time and just not told him that they had mixed with one of his sort.
'Well bye'
said Harry and at that he quickly walked out of the sitting room ignoring the open mouths of his uncle, aunt and cousin. Harry closed the door behind him and wondered if he would ever see the Dursley's again and wondered if the next time they saw him would he be dead! He quickly dismissed these thoughts and walked down the hall towards the front door. Arabella was already standing at the front door looking out of the window for any sign of death eaters, when she saw him, she waved her wand and his trunk shrank to a small enough size that would fit in his pocket, Harry picked up the shrunk trunk and placed it in his pocket and picked up Hedwig who was half asleep in her cage. As he began to stand again he grimaced as pain flooded through his back and throughout his body.
'Are you alright Harry?'
as Mrs Figg a very concerned look passed over her face..
'Yes its just my back it's a bit sore nothing really'
Harry smiled at her and walked towards the door.
'All right if you are sure are you all set?'
she said is a warm tone,
'We just have to go to my house there Sirius is waiting for you!'
'Great'
Harry he was looking forward to seeing his Godfather who had not seen since the incident with Voldermort at the Triwizard Tournament. Harry and Arabella stepped out of the house and came to the top of the drive. She gave a last glance down the road and then said,
'Okay, all clear, lets go'
at this they made the short walk to the house across the road. Arabella came to the door and said,
'Dehisco'
and the door swung open. Harry had barely stepped in the door when Sirius came running in from the sitting room and hugged Harry tightly. Harry grimaced with the pain in his back but covered it quickly and smiled. Harry almost fell backwards with the force of Sirius' hug until Sirius released Harry from his grip. Sirius stood back from Harry and smiled at him with great almost fatherly pride and said,
'I missed you so much, I am sorry I had to leave you like that the night after the Triwizard Tournament I really wanted to stay but I was on an assignment, well I still am actually!'
at this Harry cut in,
'Well how come you are here?'
said Harry questioningly. Sirius shuffled his feet nervously and quickly said,
'Well would rather I not come and look after you?'
'Of course I want you to look after me, where is Remus, Dumbledore said he was staying with you and . '
but Harry stopped and looked around and quietly said
'and eh. Snape'
Sirius smiled faded slightly as he said,
'Yes Harry, Snape is with us, he is at home with Remus.'
Harry wasn't to pleased about this as he didn't like Snape and knew that Remus and Sirius didn't either. Harry looked up and saw Sirius staring at Arabella who still looked very concerned.
'What's the matter Arabella?'
asked Sirius. Arabella was still watching the glass in the font door and was surveying the street; she suddenly spoke in barely more than a whisper,
'Death Eaters were just here, they still think that Harry is next door so we have to move quickly, they will be checking on him regularly and any abnormality and You-Know-Who will be round faster than you can say aparate, we have to move quickly You-Know-Who won't wont to wait to long to get Harry especially after last night.'
Sirius moved towards the door and also looked out of the door and nervously said, 'Are you sure they didn't see you come here?'
Arabella said,
'Yes, quite sure but I think we should be moving on to the house now, we must move quickly.'
Sirius looked up and nodded in agreement, he pulled a bag out of his pocket and turned to Harry,
'Dumbledore gave me this, it's very difficult to use only a few people in history have been able to use it but he says that you will be able to use it easily'
at this point Sirius looked very apprehensive but continued,
'We won't be able to travel by floo powder as its to dangerous as you can be tracked and you don't know how to aparate yet so this is the safest way. Anyway Dumbledore gave me this and said that only you can read it so here'
Sirius handed Harry the small bag and a piece of parchment. Harry took the letter from Sirius and began to read it,
Dear Harry, This bag contains phoenix dust it can only be used by very special people with a certain special gift which you will soon realise you have. You take a pinch of the dust and sprinkle it over your head and think of a place or person where you wish to be. Say the place in your head and you will be transported there instantly. Anyway Good Luck and I will see you soon. Albus Dumbledore.
Harry folded the parchment up and placed it in his pocket, he then took the bag of phoenix dust and opened it suddenly an image rose out of the dust of a golden phoenix. Harry looked in the bag and saw that it was full of golden dust. Harry closed the bag and the phoenix image disappeared, he looked up at Sirius and Arabella who had stepped away from the door to admire the phoenix image and said,
'Okay I know what to do'
Sirius smiled at him and wondered what Dumbledore had said and hoped that the dust would work. Sirius broke his chain of thought and said,
'Okay I will aparate back home and wait for you there, you will then use your powder and you will be transported to our house then Arabella will aparate to the house once you've got there okay?'
'Yes I understand don't worry it will be fine'
said Harry. Sirius smiled, and picked up Hedwig's cage then said 'Aparato'
and disappeared Arabella then turned to Harry and said,
'Right Harry, you now.'
Harry opened the bag and again the phoenix emerged. Harry was just about to pick up some phoenix dust and sprinkle it over himself when the door was hit and the door blew of its hinges. Outside the door where standing three death eaters, there faces couldn't be seen as they wore long robes with hoods.
One of the death eaters stepped forwards and said,
'Don't move Potter, the Dark Lord is waiting for you, you have escaped him before but not again. Stand aside Figg, we just want the boy.'
Harry recognised this empty and hollow voice to be that of Lucius Malfoy's.
'Malfoy'
Harry whispered. The death eater looked up and turned to the other death eaters and said, 'Tell the Lord we have him' but before he had time to finish his sentence Harry decided that he had to act quickly. He grabbed his wand, which was still up his jumper and pointed it at the death eaters and shouted
'Expellarmus'
an immense white light flew out of Harry's wand and the three death eaters were thrown out of the house with immense force. Harry lifted his arm as their wands came flying towards him. Arabella looked between the death eaters and Harry in complete astonishment. Harry turned to her and said
'We must go quickly'
Arabella looked at the death eaters and saw they were beginning to move; she turned to Harry and said
'Yes quickly we must go.'
At this Harry picked up some phoenix dust and thought of Sirius' house then sprinkled the dust over himself. Harry looked at the death eaters who were beginning to stand up and looked directly at Harry who now was beginning to change colour, Harry looked at his hand and saw that his hand was turning gold, he turned to Arabella who looked very concerned and Harry wondered if something was going wrong he thought again of Sirius and began to feel that he was losing weight, he saw that his whole body began to disappear, he looked around once more and saw the death eaters shouting at each other at staring at Harry and then he saw Arabella shout 'Aparato' then she along with Harry disappeared from the house.
Harry felt air rushing through his hair and thought that this way of travelling felt a bit like travelling by floo powder but wasn't as bumpy and he wasn't spinning. Harry opened his eyes and saw that he was flying in the sky on the back of a huge creature. Harry blinked thinking he was imagining it and saw that he was riding on the back of a gigantic phoenix. Harry managed to find his voice and said in a trembling voice,
'Fawkes?'
The phoenix turned its head and opened its beak and spoke to Harry, the phoenix's voice was beautiful and soft,
'No, I am not Fawkes; I do however know Fawkes a very noble phoenix. My name is Tutamen Unus, I am taking you to your Godfathers house that is where you wished to be Harry Potter'
'Yes, yes it is where I want to go but how did you know that and how do you know my name?'
said Harry. The phoenix again spoke,
'You used the phoenix dust well its my dust, I must tell you that I have not had a passenger for some millenniums, you may call upon me at any time you wish. I know your name because I gave that dust to your parents when you were born, I thought that when your parents were murdered the dust would be destroyed but I believe that your parents left it with you before Voldermort came and when you were found by Hagrid he found the dust and gave it to Dumbledore who has looked after it for you.'
Harry then trying to understand all the information that he had just received said,
'Why did you give me the dust and why did Dumbledore not tell me he had it?'
Again the phoenix spoke,
'I cannot tell you yet, but Dumbledore did not tell you because you would not have been able to use it yet and you had not yet received your gifts, one of which you received the other night'
Harry then remembered what Dumbledore had said about that him receiving very special gifts. Harry said to the phoenix,
'What do you mean gifts?'
The phoenix spoke and said,
'Harry Potter you are very special you must realise that, you are the only one who will receive these gifts and they will help you in your life, they will make you stronger spiritually and magically, you will be great Harry, if you think that people think you are famous now in years to come you will be greater.'
Harry was trying to absorb all this information when a thought dawned on him,
'How come I can speak to you but I can't speak to Fawkes?'
The phoenix chuckled,
'Harry, the other night you received one of your gifts, the power to speak to phoenix's, Fawkes did speak to you he gave and released your first gift you are a phoenixia, you are the only one who can it will become very handy for you in your life.'
The phoenix stopped speaking and looked at a large house that was situated on the ground below them. The phoenix began to dive down to the ground, Harry clung onto its feathers as the air rushed through his hair when suddenly the phoenix slowed down and came to rest on the ground outside the house. The phoenix placed its wing on the ground and Harry slid of the back of the phoenix. Harry saw the door of the house open but turned to the phoenix and asked,
'If I need you again what do I do?'
The phoenix ruffled its feathers and a golden orb attached to a necklace fell into Harry's hands. Harry looked into the orb and the phoenix spoke,
'Wear this always, its my gift to you, its called the orb of the phoenix it will help protect you against evil and will tell you when there is some one untrustworthy around. It is also a way for you to contact me if you ever need me for anything. You just grasp it in your hands and call my name and I will come, I am sure that I will be seeing you soon, but your friends are waiting for you so I will go'
At this the phoenix disappeared and Harry stared at the necklace, he undid the clasp and tied it around his neck, a great shock went trough him and Harry shivered.
