Professor Dumbledore led Harry into his office, and the first thing Harry noticed was Fawkes, Dumbledore's giant pet Phoenix. He had always favored that bird; it was a great help to him when he needed it.
"So Harry, I take it you got my message?" Harry nodded again. He wished that Dumbledore would just say what he had to say. "Well, Harry, what I have called you in here is difficult to discuss. You see…"
