Dumbledore surveyed the faces in his office. Tonight was the night of the
first meeting of the Underground. The volunteers from the ministry, such as
Arthur Weasley, and other supportive wizards, such as Moody and Mrs. Figg,
were all assembled to discuss the dark movement. Dumbledore sat in the head
chair with McGonagall and Snape on either side of him.
"Welcome everyone, I am pleased to see your faces here. First order of business is to-" Dumbledore stopped talking immediately when the door crashed open. Sirius Black and Remus Lupin hurried in, both of them panting.
"Sorry we're late, Professor," Remus grinned, "Sirius saw a cat on the way here." Sirius' face turned slightly red, but he didn't deny it.
Dumbledore simply chuckled in amusement. "Quite alright you two, I know that it can be difficult to fight the instincts of our inherited forms," Dumbledore's eyes twinkled as he said that glanced a knowing look toward Sirius. "Now, why don't you two take those two chairs over there? The ones by Severus?" All three men groaned in disgust, but knew it would be useless to argue.
"Now then, the first order of business is to discuss the problem at hand. I'm sure you all are aware of the problem with Mr. Harry Potter, after the owls I sent you?" The rooms occupants nodded briefly. "Very good. Now, Remus, I have asked you back here because I trust you the most as far as potential Dark Arts professors go. As you know, we're going to need as much security for Mr. Potter now that his situation has worsened. Will you resume your job as a teacher here and help keep an eye on him?"
"If you feel that is best sir. . . but what about the student's parents? Won't they be upset about having a werewolf teaching their children?"
Dumbledore smiled, "Do not worry Remus, I have owled many parents and nearly all of them agree that they'd rather have a kind hearted, trustworthy, werewolf teaching their children rather than a stranger who could be from Voldemort." Remus smiled and relaxed slightly.
"Sirius, I have asked you here for two purposes. One of them is that I must ask you to stay in your canine form and accompany Harry. I'm certain he would love the company, and if you notice any drastic or sudden changes in him, other than what I've described, then please report it immediately."
"My pleasure!" Sirius said, grinning. He couldn't wait to be able to spend time with his Godson again.
"Very good, now, secondly I have asked you here because I want you to assist Severus in brewing the potion." He sat back and smiled at the two of them.
Both men looked shocked for a moment before saying "I don't know anything about potions!" and "He doesn't know anything about potions!" at the same time.
"True though that may be, Sirius does know enough about the potion being brewed to be of help. After all, he did need to take the potion himself in his youth." At those words, Snape shot a baffled look toward Sirius, along with many of the others in the room.
Sirius gave them all an annoyed look. "In case you didn't notice, I DO happen to turn into a grim. That IS a magical creature, is it not?" Everyone sort of looked at him strangely for a few more moments before they shrugged it off, not wanting to bother the annoyed man for the full story.
"Very well then, it is agreed," Dumbledore said. "Now, secondly we can not go around forever merely calling ourselves 'The Underground'. That will bring about even more suspicion from the Ministry. We need a code name of some sort to call ourselves so that when we are in public, it would not sound too suspicious."
"The Above Ground?" Snape sneered, sarcastically. Everyone ignored him.
"How about something to do with a Phoenix since Harry is, right now, the main concern," Mrs. Figg suggested.
"How about the Plight of the Phoenix?" Remus suggested.
"That sounds like the name of a poem," Snape snarled.
"I haven't heard you come up with something better, Snape, unless you want us to be called the Greasy Haired Bastards Association!"
"How about the Phoenix Cry?" Minerva suggested, ignoring the bickering.
"I got it, how about the Order of the Phoenix!" Everyone turned to Moody and nodded their agreement.
The Death Eaters trembled as their enraged master paced around the room.
"You idiots!" he hissed at them, "Why was I not informed sooner of his transformations?! Do you not have children who attend that school?!"
"Master," Lucius bravely, yet stupidly, spoke up, "it only became apparent yesterday. Even if my son sent an owl straight away, it wouldn't have reached here until-"
"SILENCE!" Lucius quickly clamped his jaw shut. "This time, none of you will mess up. Harry Potter must be kidnapped and done away with before he takes that potion and before he transforms. I want his blood to be spilt on these floors before the end of his school year! Now leave me be!" The Death Eaters quickly left the room, grateful that their master had dismissed them before he got even angrier.
Voldemort walked back to his throne, but paused when he saw the title of one of his books on the shelf. He approached it and pulled it down, the title reading "Phoenixes: History, Uses, Power, And Control". Voldemort's eyes widened at the last part. Control. . . perhaps he could control Harry Potter. He quickly opened the book and began to read.
"Harry? Harry, you need to come out some time!" Ron tried coaxing. Harry had gone back to the dorm room and pulled the curtains around his bed after the incident at breakfast. He hadn't come out since.
Rumors were already spreading like wildfire around the castle. Some would say that he could heal others by crying on them, yet others said that his voice was more soothing than any calming charm or potion. Some claimed they saw red, gold, and black feathers on his head, and some even went so far as to say he could fly.
Many students had approached Ron, Hermione, and some of the Gryffindors demanding to know the truth, but they had all remained tight lipped, unwilling to reveal any information without Harry's consent.
"Harry, look, people are going to have questions, but they'll get over it," Ron said, desperately. It was not like Harry to hide in his bed, hoping his problems would just disappear. "I mean, sure, I haven't ever heard of this happening in the past, but there's got to be a reason, right? We can go to Dumbledore, he'll know what's going on!" Ron sighed when once again he received no answer. "That's it, Harry, I mean it!" He grabbed the curtain on Harry's bed and yanked it back, only to be met with an empty bed. Ron blushed and looked to the left and right, hoping no one else had seen him talking to thin air.
::Where could he be? I didn't think he left the room.:: Struck with a good idea, Ron pulled the Marauder's Map from Harry's trunk and softly muttered the password. When the map came up, he scanned it carefully for Harry. He found Harry's name on the map, and according to the map he was. . . standing right behind Ron. Ron whirled around, blinked, and saw no one. ::Stupid thing must be broken.:: Suddenly, Ron smacked himself on the forehead, turned back around, and reached out into the air. He pulled down the hood of, a now smirking Harry's, invisibility cloak.
"Very funny, Harry. Where were you?" Ron scolded.
"Library," Harry said, as he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
"That sounds like how Hermione would spend her day. . . what were you doing there?"
Harry simply handed Ron a book and went to his own bed to start working on homework. Ron glanced at the title (The Gift and Curse of Magical Morphing) and started reading. He felt himself growing pale as he read the third paragraph.
~When left to it's own natural way of occurring, Magical Animagism will begin when the subject is twenty years old. The subject will have a small tattoo on his/her right arm of the creature he/she will become. When that tattoo appears, that person may take the Morphia Chalengium potion to become that creature permanently. Unfortunately, not all people have been left to the natural cycle. Some people, starting from thirteen years as the youngest age, are forced to start changing due to physical abuse. Those who are abused will change earlier than they are supposed to, without the potion, as a way of self defense. The creature inside will attempt to come out to defend their human half. If the Morphia Chalengium potion, along with the Counter act potion, are not brewed and mixed in time and given to the subject, that person will lose their human half forever and remain the magical creature that they have become.
Werewolves are one of earliest cases of Magical Animagism. . .~
Ron's head shot up as he was about to say something to Harry, but he held his tongue as he found that his friend was fast asleep.
Author Notes: Ick, this fic is really starting to suck. . . my deepest apologies. I'll try to make it better, I really will.
I have some bad news for reviewers. For some reason, many of the names of the reviewers have become Xing@fanfiction.net. I don't know why this is, and I KNOW that that's not what the original names were. Unfortunately, I can not give thank you's since I do not know who the xings are. So, I'll answer questions. I'm very sorry again, and please keep reviewing, for I will acknowledge you asap.
1. What is the long term plot for this?
1. Basically, we follow Harry along with his changes to see what the new transformation will bring. At the same time, Voldemort is coming up with a way to control Harry against his will. There could be several endings, for example, Harry could beat Voldemort, Harry could be trapped as a Phoenix, Harry could be controlled by Voldemort, Harry could die. . . I haven't really chosen an ending yet.
2. Does he ever get wings?
2. That's a spoiler, but I'll consent this once. Yes, eventually he'll have wings.
3. Will Snape be nicer to Harry?
3. Probably not, but we'll see.
4. Is there Hermione/Harry romance or any romance at all?
4. No. I'm not big on that kind of thing in Harry Potter fics. There might be a little romance, nothing too deep, later on, but don't count on it. This isn't a romance fic.
5. Regarding challenges:
5. Yes, Illustrious Sorrow, you may use the challenge. Have fun with it! Silent but Sassy, tackle number four. Lemmie know when it's posted!
I'm so sorry this took so long. . . life's been unmerciful lately, and sometimes things come up that take the place of time one could use for fanfics. I'll update asap though!
