General PoV

Fawkes was standing in front of the entire Weasley family minus Charlie.

"I called you guys here because we have an issue. Charlie is a very special boy and so is Harry. I don't know if any of you knew but Harry was being severely abused by his uncle. Last night he thought he would leave Harry for dead before Lucius, Severus and Charlie went to pick him up. It was bad and he could not be healed because his magic would be damaged. He had dormant creature blood that activated because of the injuries."

He let that sink in for a minute before continuing on.

"He was brought to the hospital wing because he had been injured and we did not know if he was unstable. He awoke and was terrified of everyone other than me if they touched him. I had him close his eyes until his mate touched him. His mate is Charlie Weasley."

Fawkes allowed that to sink in and Hermione raised her hand.

"What kind of creature is Harry and who are you?" She asked politely.

"I am Fawkes, the headmasters' phoenix." Fawkes smirked at their expressions and released his fiery wings loose, the sparks jumping out when his wing twitched.

"Harry is also a water phoenix. As you know Hermione, they are very rare for their healing powers and kind and loving personalities. The problem is that they are weak in will but strong in mind and body. It is a dangerous mix and if the wrong person is in control of them they can be sadly abused."

Molly was the first to speak.

"Well my son could never hurt Harry or I would beat him into oblivion and I think Charlie has a wonderful personality for Harry and his wild-streak." Fawkes nodded approvingly.

The twins nodded readily and Bill thought it was fine and flooed back home. Hermione and Draco were sad that they had scared Harry but were very happy for them. Ginny was sullen since she loved Harry but was happy if he was happy.

Ron was another matter entirely.

"Harry is not going to make my brother into a freak!" Fawkes was livid and lunged at him. His wings curled dangerously close to Ron's skin.

"He is not a freak! He has been hurt and I will not have him living here if you treat him like that. It is only a month!" Fawkes released the boy and grinned when Hermione cuffed him across the head.

"You won't have to make Harry move. If I see you acting like that I will personally disown you and kick you out of this house. I did not raise to act that way!" Molly scolded her son. The twins looked very mad and Ginny was saddened with her brothers attitude. Draco looked lost on what to say before deciding on being pissed.

Hermione turned back to Fawkes.

"I will help Harry with anything and will gladly do research on Water Phoenix's." Fawkes smiled and thanked her. He had always favored Hermione over the other students besides harry and found her to be very interesting.

"Harry will be here soon. No one is to touch him so keep some distance. I am going to work some magic to make this house bigger. Is there anything you would like me to do while I am at it?" Molly thanked him and pointed out some minor things she would like done to the house.

By the time Harry and Charlie arrived the house had larger bedrooms for all and a spare for Fawkes. The kitchen and eating area was much bigger so that Harry wasn't jostled by anyone.

Harry and Charlie arrived in a flash of blue light that felt rather wet. Harry looked around worriedly but calmed when Fawkes and Charlie both placed a hand on his shoulders.

"Harry, it is good to see you again." Molly said and had Charlie place him in a chair where a large plat of food sat. Breakfast had just been served.

Charlie took the seat next to Harry and Fawkes took the other side. Fawkes trilled gently and Harry looked around at everyone nervously. When his eyes met Ron's glare though he whimpered slightly, Charlie, Molly and Fawkes glared at Ron and Charlie placed a comforting arm around Harry.

Harry flinched but made himself stay still. Fawkes, having seen Harry flinch, removed Charlie's hand.

"Our presence is enough. He is not ready for physical contact yet." Charlie understood and smiled at Harry.

Ron decided then to snort in disgust.

"You guys are bloody fags. I can't believe mom is allowing you into this house." Ron snarled and started to get up. Harry, instead of whimpering, had caught the threat to his mate.

Harry's wings, which he had figured out how to make disappear just by thinking of them turning to rain, came back in a loud sound of flowing water. Harry thrust out his right wing so that it covered Charlie and turned his body to watch Ron wearily and a bit fearfully.

"Fawkes, what is he doing?" Charlie asked as he gently stroked the flowing wings. He knew Harry could feel it because his wings would twitch.

"He is protecting you. His creature blood has decided Ron is a threat to you. Ron growled and stalked closer only to be stopped by a jet of flame.

"I suggest you go back to your seat. It is harder for me to control my power in this form but I will not hesitate to torch you. Ron glanced around and turned to Hermione who just sneered at him. He growled again but left the room with a lingering glance to Hermione.

Fawkes sat back down and placed his own wing over Harry. The interesting thing was that if anyone was to attack them and come in full contact with their wings while they were overlapped, the attacker would both drown and burn at the same time.

Harry smiled at everyone once Ron was out of the room.

"Sorry I didn't say high…he was scaring me. So high again and I hope we can still have fun together even without physical contact. The twins smirked evilly.

"Don't worry Pronglet, we don't mind. Who do you think taught us our ways if not for our older brother Charlie?" They asked. Harry had to laugh. They loved to speak at the same time just to confuse you.

"Okay, so no close contact but we can all still hang out whenever we want." Draco summarized and smiled at Harry. He was happy that Harry didn't hate him.

"I can help keep Ronald away! Besides, I prefer to read, me and you can always just read together." Hermione said, giving him a warm smile.

Charlie smiled, he was happy that this was working out with the only problem being Ron.

Fawkes smiled at Hermione. "I think reading to him might just help keep him calm. The water phoenix is said to be highly intelligent so I think you two will have fun." Harry agreed and breakfast went on without a hitch.

Next Day…

"Okay, today we will work on forming the initial bond. Harry, this bond is not made through sex. It is made through the joining of your minds. Harry, close your eyes and put your hands out with the palms up. Charlie, close your eyes and place your palms in his."

They did as Fawkes instructed.

They were sitting by a lake because the element of water calmed Harry and made him feel at home.

"Concentrate on each other." Fawkes was watching the carefully. He had Hermione standing by ready to cast a stunner on Charlie if need be.

This ritual could cause the Dominant mate to attempt to force the full bond. That could only be harmful for Harry so Hermione was there to try and stop it.

Harry was closer to Hermione then the others for some reason but they would not tell Fawkes why they were so close.

Harry flinched at the first flesh to flesh contact but relaxed quickly. His mind kept replaying the same calming words.

'This is my mate….this is my mate…this is my mate…' This thought made him happy. Charlie was his and he was Charlie's! He shouldn't be afraid of his mate. Sadly, his human side didn't share the same sentiments. His human side was afraid.

'He will hurt me…he will hurt me…they hurt me so why shouldn't he…' Stubbornly his creature side told his human side to promptly shut the fuck up.

"Try to feel each other. Go into your magic's core and sort through the strands of your magic. Find the strand that links you. You will know when it connects." Fawkes smiled. Harry hadn't run screaming yet so that had to mean something.

He edged further away till he was standing with Hermione.

"He is doing well. I am still left wondering what it is that you talk that gets you so flustered?" Fawkes asked airily. Hermione looked at him and sighed.

"We talk about you." Was all she said. Fawkes looked at her in shock before trilling softly.

"Well then I think that makes me very happy. What, pray tell, is it that you speak of." Fawkes folded his wings around them so that she could not run.

"Harry says he gets a weird yet comforting feeling from me. He says it's as if I am the same as him. Problem is he says it is not that I have creature blood in me but something else…Something to do with you."

Hermione had a scarlet blush on her cheeks and Fawkes couldn't be happier.

"Hermione, do you know why a phoenix truly burns?" She shook her head no.

"Well, a phoenix will only burn until they find their mates. If they are as old as I am then they will have one final burning day after they meet their mates but never have another after that. My last burning day was in your second year. The real test is if I stay human after this week is out."

Fawkes kissed her. There was nothing gentle and Hermione had a feeling her lips would be bruised but she just couldn't bring herself to care.

While they kissed, Harry and Charlie worked through their cores.

As Harry searched through his core he started to wonder what it would be like when the bond connected. He smiled when he saw the strands of color all twined together. He slowly started to pull through his own magic and found the colors of his creature.

Harry pulled through threads of blue, purple, green and white. For a while he started to wonder if he didn't have a bond strand when he saw a single silver strand.

'That's it!' he cheered silently. He reached out to the strand.

Just as he found his strand, so did Charlie. They both touched it at the same time.

Suddenly they could see each other. It was murky and dark but they were still there.

Their minds had connected. Charlie smiled and waved to tell him he should back out now. Harry did as told and soon found himself face to face with Charlie. He watched as Charlie's eyes flickered open and focused on him.

"Charlie?" Harry carefully called through the new mind link.

He watched him blink before a wide grin split his face.

"I heard You!" Charlie jumped up, pulling Harry with him, and ran for the house to tell everyone.

Fawkes and Hermione followed. Harry smiled at them.

"Have a good time?" He asked. Without waiting for a reply he let Charlie lead him away. Fawkes and Hermione stood gapping at each other which resulted in them laughing before following after the two boys.
