Summary: Fawkes' inner thoughts
Fawkes hadn't always been this pessimistic, but ever since young Tom Riddle evolved into Lord Voldemort, everything seemed to go downhill. The phoenix had been around for thousands of years and he had seen much worse, but it still hurt to see his beloved master so heartbroken. Just because something is worse doesn't mean it's not bad.
Fawkes had served Albus Dumbledore for the past sixty or so years, and they had developed quite a close friendship. So it hurt sometimes to look at the man because the phoenix knew that, in the end, his master would die.
The bird hadn't shed so many tears since his first master, Godric Gryffindor, had passed away.
