[Undetermined Location]
A figure dressed in black garbs sits on a branch near the top of a tree watching his domain when suddenly a ball of flames erupts and when it disperses an old man with a long beard in a garish dress appears, next to him was a man dressed in black also in a dress with hair that seemed to have never been washed.
The pair seemed to not notice him yet but the strange creature with them had but before it could inform the other two of his position, the dark figure stepped into the shadows and disappeared.
"Fawkes, where is Harry? We're in the middle of nowhere." The old man spoke to the strange bird as said bird looked at the place where the figure had disappeared in confusion.
"Albus why must we search for the insufferable brat! Besides why couldn't Potter or Lily come with you instead of me?"
"Now, now Severus. Lily is depressed given her first child has disappeared from his aunt's house. James is too busy training Charles, he can't be bothered to look for Harry when Charles needs all the help he can get to take on his responsibility." The man now identified as Albus told the man named Severus.
"If you would have checked on the cursed child, we wouldn't have to be out in the middle of nowhere in the first place. We all believed the child was a Squib but when his name appeared on the school roster you should have gone instead of the oaf.
It's been a month since the letters went out and his never left the castle until you sent Hagrid. Term starts in half a month and we have nothing to show for the effort we have gone through to locate him."
Just as the man finished his rant the bird trilled, and a sense of hopelessness washed over them. The bird turned to his partner and shared what he had found using their forced mind link, showing him the darkness that appeared when he tried to zone in on Harry.
Albus was enraged, the insufferable brat was being protected from phoenix travel. He needed to find and get his hands-on Harry to control him and have full access to the Potter fortune. He still couldn't believe Charlus had made Harry his Heir instead of James or Charles.
That came as a surprise when they had tried to have the will read when he passed only to find that only when his heir was present could it be read, and that heir was no one other than Harry, who Albus convinced James and Lily was a squib.
Apparently Charlus did not believe it and the goblins own magic only confirmed that Harry was not a squib because the Family Vaults possession changed to Harry and went on lockdown after Charlus passed away (He passed away the same day the Hogwarts letters went out so Albus was not there to notice Harry's name until he returned).
Suddenly the area turned deadly silent causing the old man and his companions to tense. They began to hear leaves being disturbed and drew out their wands while the bird rested on the old man's shoulder in case they needed to escape. A rustle in the bushes alerted them that something was near, they turned to the noise and to their surprise/fear they were surrounded by snakes, some on the ground and some on the bottom branches of the nearby tree's.
"Albus, how did we not notice them until now." The man in black whispered trying to hide his growing fear, but it only increased when a cold voice sounded in the area in a language that both recognized but could not understand.
§ Contain them in place do not allow them to leave. The winged one isss their mode of travel, contain it firssst, I need anssswersss.§
As the voice spoke both men's eyes widened, the last parselmouth known was the Dark Lord Voldemort. Was it possible that they stumbled into him or was it possible that he had captured Harry? Before they could think any further Fawkes was bitten from a snake that dropped from above them, this caused the phoenix to burst into flames and go through its rebirth cycle.
Albus's eyes widened as his familiar (read dark magic bound slave), was disabled. The snake that had attacked was a vibrant green and had wrapped itself around the now baby phoenix. Just as Albus shot a curse at said snake to kill it, Severus having cast a fire whip to be able to take on the sheer number of snakes, black flames erupted around the snakes protecting them from the curse and extinguishing the fire whip.
Both men looked on as the flames gave of a concentrated Dementor like aura causing Severus to drop to his knees and the old man to begin to tremble. 'What have we walked into.' Was the only thing going through both their minds before a shadowy figure stepped out of the shadows causing the snakes on the ground to move to allow the figure passage.
When it reached the place where Fawkes was the figure kneeled and looked at it before he, the gravelly voice gave it away, spoke again.
§Winged one, can you underssstand me? If ssso look into my eyesss.§ The two men shuddered again but the baby phoenix looked into the figures eyes and before their eyes it was engulfed in black flames breaking the dark magic binding it to Albus.
The old man gasped in shock as he felt the binds break. The tiny phoenix chirped in glee and as the snake released its hold it wobbled over to the figure and bonded itself to the person that freed it. When the flash was over the figure now understood who the men were and what they wanted, but the figure smirked.
He picked the baby firebird up and placed it on his shoulder then he looked around, §I will be leaving ssso they cannot track me again. I will take king with me to travel once more. Thank you all for teaching me what you could. Now be free my friendssss if I'm ever in need I sssshall call once more.§
§Goodbye, hatchling.§ the amount of hissing disturbed the two men but before they could get over the shudders, they saw a snake slither its way onto the figure. Not just any snake but a Basilisk, a King Basilisk, the deadliest of its kind, it was small, but the coloring was what made it known as a King and not just a male.
Once the snake stopped moving the figure stepped back into the shadows and vanished. At his departure, the snakes all flamed once more and disappeared. Once more leaving two shell shocked individuals.
"Albus, why did Fawkes leave with the person speaking parseltongue?" Severus asked as he moved around making sure the snakes were gone. Albus sighed in frustration, the damn phoenix was free of the dark bond and it seemed the one speaking parseltongue was of pure heart, at least pure enough for Fawkes to bond with naturally.
So, it wasn't Voldemort. Meaning it was someone else that had Harry. The damn brat was proving to be a nuisance. "Dark Magic, my dear boy. It seems he cast a spell in parseltongue to bind Fawkes to him." Albus replied, using what he had done as the excuse of what just happened, after all the black flames felt dark.
With another sigh, he grabbed a nearby rock and turned it into a portkey, one of the benefits of being the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot and Headmaster of Hogwarts, and held it out to Severus who placed a finger on the stone and with a swirl of light they were gone again.
From the shadows, the figure watched as the men left, he then turned to the firebird, §What elssse do you know about me friend, what other thingsss ssshould I know of the world that abandoned me…§
~You are Harry James Potter, Heir to the Most Ancient and Most Noble House of Potter and Peverell. Your brother is hailed as the Boy-Who-Lived but if what I saw in your memories is correct the title is yours. We can go to the Goblins and have them teach you and bring you up to speed on what you need to know. I've bound myself to you as thanks for freeing me and because your magic and heart are pure.~
§I sssee, my Night flamesss can purify sssoulsss or corrupt them or annihilate them. When I firssst found this power a ssshadow of a sssoul essscaped my ssscar or tried to. The flames purified it and the remaining esssence merged to my sssoul keeping me pure.§
~How long have you been with the snakes?~ the firebird looked from the figure to the King Basilisk that was lazily draped around the figure shoulders.
§He hasss been with usss sssince his fourth sssummer. A ssspeaker is rare among the bipedsss but one orphaned ssso young is unheard of. We sssaw the flamesss and merger occur, and we decided to help the hatchling. He'sss been with usss sssince. We take care of our own. § The snake replied while the figure simply nodded along.
~You realize his parents are alive? They have tried to find him for the past couple of months.~
This time the figure replied but the voice was darker and colder, §I have no parentsss, just sssperm donor and womb. My only family isss King, Rayden and now you, Fawkesss. We ssshall visit the Goblinsss, go my new friend and warn them that I do not ssspeak any human tongue due to the age King and the rest found me.
Asssk them if there isss a transsslation potion or ssspell for me to underssstand them and if ssso to have it ready. I will not be attending Hogwartsss like the old man wantsss, have them sssee if there are other optionsss after I take my Lordssshipsss. §
The firebird sang a song of understanding and flashed in a ball of fire to Gringotts. As Fawkes left King looked over at his favorite biped, § Let'sss go pick up Rayden. It hasss been awhile sssince the lassst time we sssaw your sssecond familiar. § Harry nodded, they had left Rayden behind because he was needed in the village they had stayed in a year ago. It was time to check on him and see if he was finished with his tasks. With that thought flames engulfed both Harry and king and they were gone once more.
[Gringotts – Directors office]
Ragnok current King of the Goblins sat in his Office going through the paperwork concerning petitions for curse breaking expeditions when his attention was caught by a fireball appearing in the middle of the room. Guards came in but were soon in a relaxed manner when the phoenix began to sing.
While he sang Fawkes looked at Ragnok and using his ability to temporarily connect with his mind began to show the conversation between himself and Harry. This way Ragnok would know what was said but could also tell that Harry was speaking parseltongue.
As soon as Ragnok saw the vision he understood what the young boy and his familiar wanted and nodded causing the song to end. "Leave us. He is here as an envoy for a client that we would have trouble communicating with. However, by sending his familiar," he smirked recognizing Fawkes, 'The Old fool lost his dark bond to the majestic creature. The boy is more powerful than his brother, Dumbledore or Voldemort.'
"He has allowed us to know he wishes to come in and how to be prepared. Get a permanent language potion ready for his arrival. I'm unsure what languages he will want to learn but German, French and English would be best to start off with." As he finished speaking the guards nodded and left to get what was ordered.
Ragnok looked back to Fawkes, "It's good to see you free from that man ancient one. I take it his heart and soul are pure because he has had no influence from any humans?" at this the firebird now perched on the back of a chair nodded.
"Well as far as schooling goes there are Durmstrang, Beauxbatons, Ilvermorny, and Castelobruxo who accept international students. However, if he wishes he can take assessment tests to see where his education is and after he can have tutors or even attend schools that are more secretive and selective and still teach the ancient ways of magic, that which the Ministry has either banned or the fool has done away with."
Fawkes listened and nodded along until the goblins had come back with the potions. Once everything was set he looked back to Ragnok who nodded, and Fawkes flashed away.
[Somewhere in the Rockies] – around same time as Fawkes is at Gringotts
In a flash of black flames Harry and King appear at the topmost peak. It was rather cool for their liking so with a wave of a hand Harry cast warming charms on himself while King buried himself within Harry's garbs. §I wonder where Rayden could be, maybe out hunting? §
In a flash of lightning a majestic bird appeared before them, head of an eagle, two giant wings with two sets of smaller wings lower in the body and lightning rolling through the silver feathers. ~King, Harry it's nice to see you again. A new adventure to begin? Or just dropped to visit? ~
§The wizardsss have been looking for me. It'sss time for me to leave my mark on their world. Although I am looking for a different foundation than what the old man wanted for me. SSSeemsss my grandfather did not trust him, my sssperm donor, the rented womb or twin. §
~I see young one. I feel a third bond to you, who else have you picked up? ~
The small boy smirked as a fireball exploded revealing Fawkes. The two birds looked at one another before bowing to each other. ~It seems the Goblins are ready for us Harry. What travel method will you take?~
§I will take the Night Flamesss. I will sssee you there Rayden, Fawkes.§ With that the boy and his snake disappeared with Fawkes and Rayden fallowing not far behind.
*Yes, it will have elements of KHR. Mainly the Flame of Night will be like Necromancy, Shadow Elemental and Dementor powers combined. This was only achieved by Ignotus and after having infused his blood in the power his children and descendants could achieve it only if they achieved the dying will. In other words, the lords and ladies of the British Nobles could never achieve it with their mentality especially not Voldemort who fears death. I will use the other flames but that's it there won't be any character from KHR.
Also, I'll probably use other shows/anime as a source for powers and the like. If you don't like don't read, simple. I'm thinking just using elements of Bleach and KHR will be enough but I'm not sure.
I might make this a story… might not… that's why it will go up here and if I do make it a story I will let you guys know. Second chapter would be meeting goblins, learning language, contacting the school he will attend, and reveal how he acquired his flames and disappeared.
