A few weeks passed by, Harry felt he was in the midst of a whirlwind with everything happening so fast. Between quidditch practices, extra workload, and Ginny he felt he had no time to breathe. However he could never remember at any time in his life, being as happy as he has been lately.
There was a flash of fire, and Harry briefly saw Fawkes. Harry reached over to pet Fawkes, but he flashed away in a sudden bust of flames. Harry looked down at the floor, and noticed a pieceof parchment that was slightly charred on the edges. Harry bent over to pick it up. He recognized the slightly familiar loopy handwriting. The note was from Dumbledore. Harry let out a sigh, before bending over to pick up the note. He hesitated slightly before opening it.
Harry
Please come to the head masters office I must
Speak to you before you go to classes
Headmaster Dumbledore
Harry sighed and he got dressed in his school robes, he noticed a chill in the air so he also put his cloak on which pinned with his phoenix pendant. He hurried down to the great hall and grabbed some toast. He left the great hall and went towards Dumbledore's office. He was hurrying along and not paying attention to where he was going.
He went around the corner, and crashed into Ginny.
"Oh my gosh Ginny I am so sorry," Harry exclaimed.
"Don't worry about it growing up with six brothers I'm kind of used it, besides I like getting knocked off of my feet it puts a different twist and its so delicate as getting swept off your feet", Ginny retorted playfully." Where were going anyways," she asked.
"To Dumbledore's office," Harry replied glumly
"Can I come too, and maybe cheer you up?" Ginny asked giving the sad puppy dog look, that she knew that Harry couldn't resist.
"I suppose you can but we go to hurry." Harry agreed slowly. They reached the gargoyle, "canary creams." Harry called an instantly the gargoyle sprang to life and moved aside to reveal a long winding staircase.
As the entered Ginny commented, "who would have ever thought my brothers invention would become Dumbledore's password." Harry looked over her and smiled and together they entered Dumbledores office.
"Well looks like you brought Miss Weasley along with you today Harry." Dumbledore said with his eyes twinkling underneath his half moon shaped glasses. "I just wanted to let you know that Professor Lupin is back at Hogwarts, and I want you to help him with the DA. Class." Dumbledore continued while looking at Harry expectantly. "Ok" Harry heard himself slowly speak. He couldn't believe that Dumbledore wanted him to help teach a legal class.
Harry looked coyly at Ginny and slyly said, "I guess I'll be able to tell you what to do now."
"In your dreams," Ginny retorted back while swatting in the back of the head.
Dumbledore just watched them with an apparent amusement, they reminded him so much of James and Lily. Also there was a little bit of Molly,and Arthur in them too. He had to shake himself to make sure that it was Harry and Ginny. While he watched them playfully argue, he saw something flashed on Harry; he looked closer to make sure what it was. He saw a small phoenix pendant that seemed to burn with a life of its own. "Harry where ever did you manage to come across that pendant?" He asked with a tremble of anticipation in his voice. The room went silent, as Harry and Ginny stopped wrestling each other and looked at Dumbledore with surprise.
"I got it for my 16th birthday from Ginny." Harry answered while he was wondering why Dumbledore was making a big deal over a pendant.
"Where did you find it Ginny?" asked Dumbledore.
"I found it in a muggle antique shop not far from my house," Ginny answered with a look of bewilderment on her face. Dumbledore went silent, and looked down as if he were in deep thought.
When Dumbledore looked up, he had a small smile on his face, but his eyes were bright with hope. "What I am going to tell you doesn't go beyond this room ok." Dumbledore said seriously. "Ok" Harry and Ginny agreed in unison. You both will be excused from classes this morning because this will take some time.
" Long ago there was a great war between the light and dark," Dumbledore began. It was about the time Hogwarts was founded. There was a great wizard by the name of Galen Gryffindor. He had with incredible powers, but he only used it for good only.
One day he was taking a rest in the countryside to get away from the endless efforts he was using to win the war.
He saw a dark hooded figure bending over something. The dark hooded figure tuned around, Galen saw something gold dribble from the dark hooded man's mouth. He instantly recognized it as phoenix blood, he dueled, the man in the dark hood was losing his strength, because Galen casted a curse on him which causes fatigue. Before he could banish him. The man in the black robes threw his hood back. Galen recognized him It was his cousin, Marius Slytheryn.
Galen felt betrayed by his family, Marius used Galen's element of surprise against him. Marius pulled out his
Wand and pointed his wand at Galen and shouted in a cold voice "Avada Kedavra." Galen saw the green light
Come rushing towards him. A phoenix flew over and swallowed the curse and erupted into flames. Marius seeing this transformed into a snake and slithered off. Another phoenix came and healed Galen of his injuries.
The phoenix spoke to Galen, "since you tried to defend one of our own. We will always help you and your decendants." The phoenix then went over to the dying phoenix he cried over the other phoenixes wounds.
Galen was in awe of what was happening. He saw the wounds of the phoenix magically heal. The phoenix
Went over to Galen and gave him a pendant that was filled with his blood and tears. It glowed like it was a Phoenix burning .The phoenix spoke to Galen, "keep this with you and it will always protect you even
From the unforgivable curses. Pass it down to your heirs and as long as they remain true to the light the pendant will remain with them. If they betray the light we will take the pendant back. Then only when the world is in peril
The one, who has a pure heart and is a blood heir to you, will receive it by his 16th birthday by his true love. Together they will overcome darkness, but if their hearts turn dark, all hope will be lost." With saying that the phoenix flew off.
Galen pondered on this as he left, he continued the war and slowly the light side won and darkness was defeated.
When he felt his time to die was coming, he summoned his wife Selena over to him and asked her to get his
Sons and daughter.
For his time was coming soon.
His sons Godric and Tristian came along with his daughter Jocelyn. He read into their souls and found that his daughter Jocelyn was of pure heart, so he bestowed upon her the pendant. This continued so forth and so forth
Until it reached Jocelyn's great grandson, Marcus Potter. Something happened to him and he turned dark .The pendant disappeared, and didn't reappear until now."
"Now you see why I was so surprised to see you with it Harry" Dumbledore continued speaking."Which it means
You and Ginny are destined to be together, and together you will overcome darkness that seems to surround us." Dumbledore paused as if to collect his numerous thoughts, and then looked up at them again. "Before you go let me remind you of the first D.A. class is tomorrow night at 6.00 p.m." He looked at Harry in the eyes. Harry could see how weary and old Dumbledore seemed.
Ginny and Harry looked like a feather could knock them over. They didn't know what to think when they leaving Dumbledors office .As they were leaving Dumbledore called out to them "You two talk it out together and if you need to talk to me you know you always can." Harry looked at Ginny and put his arm around her and walked out
Of the headmaster's office together.
Please review and tell me what you think.
