Hi everyone I don't own Harry Potter so I can only borrow him for this story. I'm not making any money with this so don't sue.

The phoenix transforms

Later that night Harry was performing his usual ritual of looking at the clock until it turned to twelve. He was lying on his bed counting down the last seconds before he would officially be sixteen. As the clock turned twelve a red light surrounded him. He started to feel pain, it started as a light twitching deep down in his bones but was slowly becoming stronger until it was worse that the crustasius curse. He was screaming his lungs out but now one could hear him since the red haze was protecting him from anything attacking him from outside, and also keeping noise in.

After ten minutes of pure pain, Harry finally fell into unconsciousness. He started dreaming; he saw a young man come up to him and telling him to follow. He led Harry to a clearing in the middle of a forest. It was the greenest forest Harry had ever seen. He looked around and saw that he was surrounded by many creatures he didn't know really existed.

He heard a flutter of wings and looked up, what he saw was the largest Phoenix he had ever seen. It was twice the size of Fawks professor Dumbledore's phoenix. It landed in front of him and bowed.

"My Lord Phoenix, I am happy to see you made it safely. Welcome to the Emerald Forest."

"Why have I been brought here, and why are you calling me Lord Phoenix?"

"The reason why we brought you here is to give you your heritage and powers that you were born to receive on your sixteenth birthday. And as to why I called you Lord Phoenix is because you are now the Phoenix Lord of the light. You are the most powerful magical creature on earth; only one other will become your equal. It will take a few weeks for the Unicorn Lord to join you, but at the moment no one equals your power."

"Why me?" Asked Harry, he always seemed to get himself into the worst situations. Now he would never have any peace.

"You were chosen at your birth because you are pure of heart and soul. You already are a powerful wizard; this will increase your powers tenfold. You will have the power to heal with your tears. You will be able to become an animagus with a bit of practice. You will experience a burning day once a year. Basically you have all the powers of a phoenix."

"Let me guess, my animagus form is a phoenix."

"Yes my Lord, but you must keep your new powers secret. Only when you join the Unicorn Lord will you be powerful enough to fight the evil that is Voldemort. The Unicorn Lord is your soul mate. You two will be the only ones to know of your powers. No one must discover this until it is time to fight your enemy. The Unicorn Lord's identity will be revealed to you when he also turns sixteen in a few weeks. Until them be careful, you will both ground each others power. Your power will be a bit unstable until you can join with one another. Once you bond, you will need to find a hiding spot where you both can practice using your new powers and your animagus forms. In time your body will change to reflect your new powers. I suggest using the chamber of secrets at Hogwarts for your training. Don't worry the Unicorn Lord will know how to get in. Now young Lord you must rest, it is almost morning. You will be waking up soon. I bid you good day, enjoy your birthday with those who love and care for you, but remember do not tell anyone of this. I will contact you again soon. Goodbye my Lord. Be safe."

Harry woke up not long after the dream ended. He tried to get up but found that his arms and legs were stiff, like after a good workout. After a few minutes he was finally able to sit up in his bed. He placed his glasses and frowned "What the hell!" everything was blurry. Thinking that his glasses were dirty he took them off. He looked around and realized he could see without them.

"Bloody hell, so it wasn't just a dream. This must be part of the changes that my body will go through."

He got up and made his way to the bathroom. He was looking at himself in the mirror but didn't see any other physical changes. "Oh well he did say it would take time." He took his shower and changed to some of his new clothes. Feeling rebellious he decided to wear his black leather pants, dragon hide boots and a silk green shirt he had found in muggle London. He tried to fix his hair but soon gave up it was a lost cause. He had let his hair grow a bit that summer so now it went down to a little over his shoulders. He tied it in a pony tail with a leather piece of string. With his hair tied you could clearly see his earring, the gold lightning bolt catching the light every time he turned his head. "I think a few people will be surprised." He chuckled, thinking of Mrs. Weasley's reaction to the earring.

With a last look at the mirror he decide he was ready to go downstairs. He felt confident and powerful all of a sudden. "It will take me a while to get use to these new feelings." He was also thinking of something else the phoenix had told him. He would find his soul mate soon. "He said it would be in a few weeks, I can't wait to see who it is, I hope it's someone I like."

Shaking himself out of his thoughts he made his way to the kitchen for breakfast. When he got there he didn't hear any noise and though that it was strange, usually there is always lots of noise coming from the kitchen with the Weasleys around. He took his wand out and made his way to the door. He took a breath and slowly opened the door...
