Uncovered identity
Ron and Phoenix lingered to the library. Ron felt strange, he was never fond of the library and the only time he ever bothered to turn up was when Hermione dragged him, to do one of her researches. 'So why exactly do we need to find out about your name?' asked Ron quizzically.
'Well not my name exactly,' replied phoenix scanning her eyes through the shelves.
'Oh.' Was all Ron could say.
'About Phoenix.' continued Phoenix.
Ron and Phoenix scrutinized through shelves and shelves of book. 'There is only so much my precious eyes can scan through for books,' complained Ron, rubbing his sore eyes. 'Why don't we just ask madam Pince? Suggested Ron. Phoenix's eyes widened with excitement. They both jolted up and rushed to the professor. 'Professor Pince where can we find information about Phoenix?' asked phoenix eagerly.
'Hmm...No student has ever touched that book. Its quiet an extraordinary topic. I would love to meet a Phoenix...' drifted the professor.
'You have,' said Ron simply.
'I don't mean the bird Phoenix. There are witches and wizards that are Phoenix. It sounds strange but the book should give you a closer look into the topic...' She broke off as she picked a book from the top shelve at the end of the library. 'Here you go.' She handed the book to Ron and strolled off. Phoenix and Ron struggled to get the layer of dust that had nested upon the book. After a long dreadful 5 minutes of trying to establish the front cover of the book Ron read out loud the metallic writing in carved on the front cover of the old brown book.' Everything about Phoenix's.' Ron flicked through the huge book.
He seemed almost positive it was an encyclopedia in disguise of a book. 'How can anyone in there right mind read this junk?' asked Ron baffled. Phoenix smiled and said nothing. 'Look here,' said Ron abruptly. Phoenix leaned towards him and gazed at the page. Ron was unable to concentrate. Her jet black hair rubbed gently against his freckled face. The smell of sweet perfume that lingered from Phoenix wrapped itself around Ron... 'Ron...Ron...' came Phoenix voice. Ron pulled himself back to reality and away from his peaceful daydream. 'If this is boring you, you can go,' recommended Phoenix.
'No,' mumbled Ron, feeling foolish.
'Shall I read it out loud?'
'Yes,' replied Ron.
Human Phoenix also known as The Beyonders are witches or wizards that have powerful powers beyond imaginable. The comings of these powerful creatures are not known. Over the billion years Beyonders have been spotted however
when the dark lord came into power he killed each and every one of them because they were a threat to his throne. To distinguish a Beyonder they
have a birth mark below there neck, a shape of a phoenix. The Beyonders
breed within themselves but if for some reason or other they breed with
either a witch or a wizard their child will have unimaginable power.
Their powers
As well as any witch or wizard they have the ability to use wands as their shield and practice magic. They also have few other powers that no other witch or wizard has, these include: Telekinesis (move objects with their
mind)
Parseltongue (the power to hear the language of a snake) The most dangerous and powerful power they posses is their voice. On a full moon if they sing it can kill up to 10 vampires but this power also draws dementors. The dementors feast on their angelic song as the music gives out
senses of happy and joyful.
Dangers
Although The Beyonders tend to be good sometimes their instinct is not clear and evil can easily astray them to the wrong direction. The dark lord tried to get allies with them but after failing miserably he felt he didn't
want them and they became extinct. Never the less a Beyonder has never
become evil.
Phoenix finished reading the page and shut the book causing a bad odor to escape from it.
'Wow, you must be powerful!' said Ron, his mouth wide open.
'Well not really,' uttered Phoenix.
Ron frowned and said 'Were you paying attention to what you were reading?'
'Yes.'
'Exactly.'
'Well for a start I don't sing and secondly if I could move objects with my mind why would I need a wand?' inclined Phoenix
Ron considered this and said 'You need it for other things.'
Phoenix opened her mouth and closed it again after realizing she had nothing to say to these wise words.
'Come to me...come to your master' came a horse voice. 'Since when did you become my master?' wondered Phoenix glaring at Ron.
'I didn't say anything,' alleged Ron. Phoenix looked at him puzzled.
'So you didn't say, come to me...come to your master?'
'What do you take me for, You-know-who's assistant?' asked Ron.
'Snake!' shrieked Phoenix.
'Where?' jumped Ron.
'No, I mean according to the book it said I could understand Parseltongue right?' said phoenix.
'Yes?' Ron expressed not quiet catching where her conversation was heading at.
'There must be a snake around here,' said Phoenix scanning through the library for anything that might be slithering across the floor.
'It turned up quick!' voiced Ron.
'What do you mean?' requested phoenix.
'You read out the book and the next thing you know you're hearing snakes,' he assumed.
'You think I'm lying!' snapped Phoenix.
'Shh,' came professor Pince Voice.
'No,' interrupted Ron.
'Or may be you think I'm hallucinating!' screeched Phoenix. "Harry can speak Parseltongue. Lets see if he heard anything!' she yelled and stormed out of the library.
Ron strolled behind her trying to keep in close contact. Phoenix walked into the Gryffindor common room. Dean and Ginny giggled at each other. While Harry and Hermione sat crouched discussing about something. A stern expression fixed on their faces. Ron walked towards them and Phoenix fell behind. 'Harry what's the matter?' solicited Ron. Harry was about to say something but as soon as he saw Phoenix he closed his mouth. 'Did you hear something?' asked phoenix looking at Harry in the eye.
'Yes,' he replied simply, his voice came out as hoarse and vacant.
'You see I'm not hallucinating Ron. Anyways thank you for coming with me to the library,' said phoenix. 'I'm sure I'm interrupting an important conversation.' She continued and walked back out of the common room.
'No one ever seems to be able to talk to her for more than couple of seconds,' pointed out Dean. He gazed at her jet black hair and the movement of her black velvet robe floating. 'Ron, me and Hermione are going to see Hagrid after sunset,' said Harry. Ron nodded and took a seat beside him.
Ron, Hermione and Harry hid underneath the invisibility cloak that Harry had inherited from his parents. Although the cloak hid them it didn't guarantee to keep their voices unheard. Mrs. Norris, Argun Flinch's cat lingered quietly across the deserted castle. After Mrs. Norris found no trance of intruders did she walk back to her master. Ron exhaled while Hermione sighed. They were almost out into the grounds when Snape turned up. As though the potion master could smell their hot blood he stood still. He looked around the isolated corridor. After he was sure that there was nothing to be seen did he let his guard down and walked past them.
Harry knocked on Hagrid's house. The giant opened the door. Fangs barked in the background. Harry took off the invisibility cloak and made his way into the house. The fire blazed and kept the house warm. 'What bough' yeh here?' asked Hagrid, Preparing tea.
'We think we might know who might have been behind the break in,' said Hermione.
'Yeh do?' inquired Hagrid.
'I must tell you Hagrid I'm not with them,' defended Ron.
'We think its Phoenix,' murmured Hermione.
'Yer bein' silly,' grinned Hagrid.
'No Hagrid, it all adds up,' uttered Harry.
'Meself an' Dumbledore don't see her as threat,' mumbled Hagrid.
'but...' began Harry but he was cut short by Hagrid.
'She's myst'ries but not bad.'
'But she understands Parseltongue,' said Hermione.
'Yea' she's a beyond'r,' whispered Hagrid.
'A what?' asked Harry.
'Now Harry if you bothered to listen to what I was trying to tell you, earlier, instead of yelling your absurd idea that Phoenix might be allies with you-know-who, you might have actually understood what Hagrid was talking about.' Hermione stared at Ron. Seeing him speak so serious caused her to blink her eyes.
'I trust Dumbledore's decision. Now run along if any o' the teachers see yeh out and abou now yer goin' to be in trouble,' said Hagrid. Harry, Ron and Hermione stood up and headed towards the door. They tip toed back to the castle and into their dormitory.
'Harry you forgot to tell Hagrid about what you heard today,' whispered Ron.
'I'll tell Dumbledore tomorrow,' yawned Harry.
