Makurayami Ookami-
'well written. this was good. hope it doesn't get stolen back like in the book.'- We'll see...

Evil Kitty Dictator-
'Man Draco is smart. You just can't help but admire him. Having a plan instead of just barging in like in the movie is the best thing to prevent them getting hurt so much. Now that they have the book things are gonna be different. Can't wait for the rest of the chapters. ^-^' - Draco is a Slytherin, they always have a plan or two. He doesn't want Harry in anymore danger then he is already.

Tempest of the Devil's Isles-
'I just discovered your series today and have decided that i am officially in love with it ^_^ this story is very well done it progresses wonderfully and for having a slytherin harry and drco and the malfoys not to mention Sev involved you've maintained Harrys Grffindor relationships perfectly especially since vie never really liked ickle ronnikins much. i can't wait to see what you give to us readers next in regards to this and i hope to see an update soon...it seems as if you update regularly and quickly so im totally excited ! great job and just aheads up im adding you to the C2 i help out with so please continue with the seires ( we don't allow stories or series that are incomplete or abandoned ;) but for you i'll make an exception si long as you continue with the seres to its completions) ^_^ anywho i believe im begining to ramble to sumurise things you rock this story rocks and i cant wait to see more because this is bloody wicked!'- Thank you, I'm enjoying writing it and the reception is encouraging. Harry should be a Slytherin, he just needs to balance his Gryffindor and Slytherin qualities. Ron is an annoying git who is inflexible and is only friends with Harry because it fuels his egos. I try to update relatively quickly so I keep my readers around. I don't mind adding me to a list if its a way to get more readers who enjoy the series. I plan on continuing it through what would be their seventh year. I'll keep what I feel is important such as the stone or the monster in the Chamber of Secrets. I have a few other stories you might be interested in.

Notes: Any objection to Remus having a crush on Severus?

Edit: Part 1 takes place in 1991. Part 2 happens in 1992, my mistake.

Chapter 23- The Dragon and the Phoenix

Dealing with Lovegood was unpleasant but he'd gotten what he wanted without actually having to threaten. He'd mentioned wanting a Phoenix for a present for his son, Lovegood had chuckled at him. Of course Lucius Malfoy knew that domesticating a Phoenix was practically impossible but since meeting Harry and seeing the man his son was becoming he had discovered the father in himself.

He'd been told that the Phoenixes were most likely to be found in the Theban Hills in Egypt more specifically on the peak of al-Qurn, for some reason they favored the valley of the Kings where numerous Egyptian Pharaohs had been buried. Apparating there would be interesting. According to Bill Weasley, Fred and George's older brother who was a curse-breaker for Gringotts and living in Egypt, there were Muggles who were digging in the tombs. There were apparently four teams from universities which were some type of education institution. Avoiding a international incident by being seen would be interesting. Where the Phoenixes resided were cloaked by magic with Muggle repelling Charms. Phoenixes were sentient and agreed with the measures. If a few wished to leave they usually told the local Ministry so they could be protected. They choose to go at night, hopefully they would be less noticeable then.

Around eleven in the evening, Lucius and Blaisé Apparated onto the peak of al-Qurn.

Blaisé closed his eyes, "They are this way."

Lucius followed his son's friend.

They emerged into a shelf of rock after a while, filled with nests and phoenixes.

"What brings wizards to our sanctuary…"

Blaisé spoke, "My friends and I must face a great danger, a basilisk that threats our school. It is the wish of my Lord, that a phoenix accompany us. We have come to ask one of your number to join us."

"Who is your lord."

"Draco Malfoy, the boy who defeated the Dark Lord Voldmort. He is a very powerful young wizard who can reflect the Killing curse on the caster."

"He is the Dragon…it was foretold that the Dragon would rise and a phoenix would stand at his side." the bird bowed, "My name is Benia. I shall accompany you. If I am convinced this Draco is the dragon, I shall be content to become his familiar."

Blaisé bowed, "He would be honored, Lady Benia."

She tilted her graceful head, "You know I am female…"

"I am half-Veela, I notice things others may miss."

"Wise and beautiful, your future mate is lucky indeed. I shall come."

XoooooX

It was nearly midnight when Blaisé, Lucius and the phoenix Benia arrived at the Manor.

Blaisé bowed, "I will go find Draco." he hurried, hoping to find his friend still awake.

Draco was in his room, reading a rare potions text, Moste Potente Potions. He looked up when his door opened. "Oh, it's you Blaisé." He said quietly, "how did it go."

"Lady Benia wishes to meet you. Apparently, there is a prophecy among her people that a Dragon will rise and a Phoenix will be at his side. If she approves of you, she will consent to be your familiar."

"Well done. I shall be down shortly. Where is Benia…"

"The Library…"

Draco nodded, closing his book before checking on Harry. His little snake was asleep, he straighten the blanket and kissed his cheek, "I'll be back soon. Sleep well, Adder…" he made his way to the library.

A large swan-sized scarlet bird with red and gold plumage, along with a golden beak and talons, black eyes, and a tail as long as a peacock was perched on the back of an arm chair, "Draco I presume…" she flapped her wings, circled him before landing on his shoulder and taking his chin in a talon. "You defeated the Dark Lord Voldmort…"

Draco nodded, "Twice."

"You can repel Killing curse…"

"Yes."

"Are you mated to the Lion…"

Draco shifted nervously, "We were born soul-bonded."

"Do you love him."

Draco smiled, "Of course I do."

"You would protect him with your life…"

"I have since we were babies."

"Then I don't mind being your familiar."

Draco grinned, "Good. Then we can enter the Chamber of Secrets and slay the monster tomorrow. Our friends are here and you were the last piece we needed to ensure the successful outcome of our quest to slay the serpent."
