Chapter Six:
Hogwarts Meeting
Alastor Moody made his way through the familiar halls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was there for a meeting with Headmistress McGonagall and the portrait of former Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. He finally arrived at the familiar statue that led up to the Headmistress' chambers.
He gave the password, "Potter Wedding," Moody shook his head, 'Too simple of a password. Damn wedding was nearly a month ago. Does nobody maintain Constant Vigilance since Potter defeated You-Know-Who?' Moody kept all these thoughts to himself.
As he got to the top of the stairs, McGonagall was already waiting for him. "So Alastor, what was so pressing that you had to meet with me and Professor Dumbledore?"
"Yes Alastor, you did seem quite un-edged in the last owl you sent us," said Dumbledore's portrait calmly.
"Minerva, Albus, it has something to due with Harry Potter," said Moody.
McGonagall looked stricken, "What's wrong with Harry?"
"Relax Minerva, it has something to due with the bond with Fawkes," said Dumbledore, "You have apparently noticed some… interesting side effects, if I am correct Alastor," Moody nodded his head, "As I knew there would be. The Phoenix Tear is not just simply a means of resurrection, but a bonding of two souls."
"So this has happened before?" asked Moody, "and enough times that it actually has a name?"
"Well I only have record of one other time it had happened, though it is hinted that it may have happened one or two other times," explained Dumbledore, "Which means Harry maybe up for yet another adventure. The circumstances are different this time and I think Harry will succeed where the last chosen had failed.
"Chosen? Chosen for what, by whom? Harry can't possibly be going through all this again?" McGonagall was now extremely worried, "Albus, who was the last 'Chosen'?
"Relax Minerva, I am sure Harry will be fine," said Dumbledore reassuringly, "The last 'Chosen' was…" he then proceeded to tell them about the last Chosen for the Phoenix Tear, and his failure, which lead to the dark ages and the reason why witches and wizards hide and remain secret from the Muggle world.
"What does this mean?" asked 'Mad-Eye' Moody.
"Alastor, Minerva, I do not know," said Dumbledore, "Such an occurrence is rare indeed. Hopefully the answers will reveal themselves before it's too late. In the mean time I must meet with Harry before his magic changes and he loses control over his powers completely. I have a journal that was given to me by an old friend, which was written by one who had experienced the Phoenix Tear and the changes it incurred. It appears that Harry Potter is more special than we ever realized."
