Chapter Three: The Boys
Harry and Dudley, stood back to back and wands out waiting for the inevitable barrage of spells that were sure to come their way. Minutes passed as the cousins waited with baited breath. Harry was the first to breathe normally. "Well I guess there isn't anything to do, but find out why we were sent here." Harry said looking at his cousin.
Dudley barely nodded, before there was another flash of flame and Fawkes and Layla flashed before the boys. Fawkes flew down to Harry and looked his charge directly in the eyes. Emerald green lock with flame red.
"You are beginning your journey. Your journey to find the true origin of phoenix song has only every been undertaken by one other person. Too have two people do it, much less two from the same family is nigh unheard of. You will be making this journey separately, each with your familiar. Harry, I will be here to go through this with you, just as my daughter shall be with your cousin as you go through this. Once you have completed this first step of finding the true meaning of phoenix song, so then shall your wives complete the same steps. Only because you are soulbonded with them will they take this journey. However, both Hermione and Susan will do it alone without help as is the custom of the old celts of the day. Now come."
Harry looked at Fawkes. He stood his ground as the phoenix started flying away. Fawkes turned to look at his young familiar. "Why do you stop, Harry?"
Harry looked at Fawkes. "Who was the only other person to take this journey?"
Fawkes looked at Harry. If he had, lips Fawkes would have smiled. Harry always had been inquisitive. He looked at Layla and together they both turned to the cousins.
And together as one they both answered:
"MERLIN."HarHH
