Guess Who's Back? Back Again?
The Funeral was scheduled for a week, over 100,000 witches and wizards from all over the world were coming to attend. Hermione almost never stopped crying, and even Fawkes was dismal. He gave beautiful cries loud enough to be heard through out the castle and the grounds. He flew out to the country side and didn't return for days. Ginny feared than now that Dumbledore was gone Fawkes would die for good. The day of the funeral arrived and all of Hogwarts was dismissed to go out to the country and attend it. Clothed in black dress robes, the school took the carriages out through Hogsmead and in to a vast, magnificent field in the country, were Thousands of black robbed wizards and witches all stood tear eyes and weeping, as the Hogwarts parade approached the weeping increased. For behind the school carriages there was a long black carriage containing Dumbledore, The students got front seats and Dumbledore was laid on a large pile of hay. Suddenly, before they lit the hay, someone spotted something in the sky.
"Look!"
A huge red cloud was approaching. Then a part of the cloud swooped down, it was Fawkes! The cloud was made of phoenixes! Fawkes Landed beside Dumbledore's body, let out a note, and cried a tear which fell into Dumbledore's mouth. Then one by one the phoenixes followed suit, each note created a song, and with each tear, Dumbledore began to look more and more alive. Finally when the last phoenix had sung its note, finishing the song and cried its tear, Dumbledore slowly opened his eyes and sat up. He was alive, again.
