Chapter 9

At that point there was no such thing as the forbidden forest, it was then known as the magical hideout of all creatures both human and other forms. Fawkes along with many other students spent majority of their spare time up in the trees basking in the sunrise. The memories of summer picnics and the special treats brought a sense of contentment in Dumbledore's eyes. If his memory served him right it as Fawkes who got him into being such a sweet tooth.

Ofcourse the variety of the candies were very little compared to this day and age but he remember she always carried a small bag of sherbet lemons in her coat pocket. She would feed the birds and other magical creatures. She had her own twelve phoenixes that would follow her whereever she went, except for in classes. It was a colourful sight to see such magnificent birds all surrounding her like a queen. She had told him, that would make their twiter sweeter, whether or not that was a fact he never found out but he really liked it when he was presented with the treats from time to time , it definitely made him a lot sweeter.

They were both very young and in love but the peaceful reality shattered one day when the cloud covered the skies and the tides rose high to witness this dynamic change that would forever alter the wizarding universe. Dumbledore was in his last year then, he had been made headboy.

Everyone was quite surprised to have the most shy kid of the year get the title but no matter every student accepted him with open arms when they learnt about his magical capabilities. Fawkes was very proud of him. He remembered how he had presented him with one of her phoenixes for the occassion. This phoenix always had caught his eyes. It had the colour of fire and beautiful eyes.

" You can name him if you like... but remember think of a good name so take your time. Don't go naming it after yourself now Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore!" She had told him as she handed it to him her eyes twinkling with mischief.

It had happened that night. No one was prepared. It had caught them by surprise or maybe most students. Now that he reflected on it, perhaps the four founders new about it and therefore had given so many encouraging speeches about it. Perhaps Fawkes also had some idea . In his childhood Dumbledore had heard stories about wizards who had gone bad but was brought into the light by the good and brave people. However he had never truely seen that much of evil in the first seventeen years of his life.

But from that day on everyone knew that would be soon changing. Feelings and emotions like rivalry, anger, selfishness, power rose high it had built up for over a century and it would burst into the hearts of millions changing the way of life forever.

It all happened in a matter of minutes, they were explained about parallel universes, time turners, and other concepts that they had never been introduced to before. Godric Gryffindor had told the students that they would have to take most of the pure creatures out into another universe in order for their survival... and as he started listing the creatures his head jerked in surprise when he heard Fawkes's name...

A portal had been created for this to take place. Fawkes had tears flowing down her cheeks as she hugged him goodbye.. " We will meet again... " she said " there are tough times ahead, things will change drastically... you have to guide them , you have to make them remember... take care of uh what did you name her?" she asked trying to smile

Dumbledore was speechless all he could think of was losing her "Fawkes" he said without thinking.

She smiled "she will lead you to me when it's time" she was talking very fast now as the portal was slowly disappearing. " she will stop singing one day but will start again and it will be time again...true love of two people born in the future will bring you home.." she had disappeared.

Dumbledore's head turned to hear Fawkes sing the most beautiful phoenix song yet... " it's time " he told himself. He had to bring Harry and Ginny to Hogwarts...
