Chapter 5: Explanations and Fawkes Rescue
Sirius did not know what was happening there was a massive white flash in his cell and before he knew what was happening he had flame travelled and by the looks of it, it had worked. He did not know where the new Phoenix had come from, but it looked exhausted and was laying down crumpled on the floor. Sirius picked up the phoenix and walked through the passage way. As Sirius looked around this place was fit for a king and the bird in his arms looked like a king pure white with a gold underneath his wings. He hoped he could find someone here, he had to find a place to hide, but he owed his life to the phoenix that lay in his arms and he intended to help the majestic bird.
Poppy heard the alarm going off, which meant someone was here that was not meant to be here, she went to investigate and there she saw for the first time, Sirius Black holding her master in his arms.
"Please help miss, this lovely bird helped me out of a difficult situation and I would like some help to get the bird back to health."
"Sirius, welcome to the phoenix realm, that there in your arms is your godson"
To say Sirius was shocked was an understatement.
"MY GODSON YOU SAY HOW COULD THAT POSSIBLY BE HE IS ONLY JUST OVER FIVE YEARS OLD, THERE IS NO WAY HE COULD TRANSFORM , NOW STOP PLAYING WITH ME AND TELL ME WHERE MY GODSON IS!."
"Mr. Black I know it must come as a shock to you, but I know who you are and I also know you are innocent. Now to prove to you I am telling the truth, I want to show you something."
"Okay, I will listen but if I think for one minute you are lying to me, and that you have hurt my Godson there will be trouble."
"Very well Mr. Black, if you could please place the king in that bed there and follow me, you godson has written down everything that you need to know, from how he found out about you to how he made plans to get you out."
Sirius did as he was asked and then proceeded to follow this person who had even given him their name and she had called his godson a king, that was if it was his godson he was still not convinced that his five year old godson was that bird.
"Mr. Black my name is Poppy and if you need anything while you are here please do not hesitate to ask, I have set a drink and the information that you require is on that table, and when you are ready I will show to your quarters. You are safe here and no one can find you here at all and all your needs will be taken care of."
"Thank you Poppy, my apologies for being off earlier, I have had no contact with humans for just under four years."
Poppy then left Sirius to read about his Godson.
As Sirius was reading he began to see why his godson, did not trust Albus Dumbledore, He could not believe the old man had sent his godson to the Dursley's, Even Lily's will had stated where he was to go, if anything should ever happen to them, he was witness to the will along with Remus. Why did Remus not go to Potter Manor with Harry, he would have been looked after by the house elves there, but Sirius knew that Remus would support Dumbledore's decision and the only reason Remus would have stayed away from Harry was because he was told too, and because of his monthly he would not have not have any objections in Dumbledore telling him to stay away. But why would Dumbledore want to keep Harry away from the world he was destined to be in.
By the time Sirius had read through the all what his godson had left him to read it was the middle of the night. He was angry with Dumbledore, but he could do nothing about it he was stuck here until they could prove his innocence. He could not believe his godson would be stuck as a phoenix for over two years and that he had to find his life mates within those two years. He wondered if Phoenixs' could sense his mate, he sure hoped so.
Sirius then called for Poppy to show him to his quarters for his stay here, once he went into the room he could see a big large king size bed in the middle of the room and he saw a bathroom that contained everything he could ever need, so he went for a shower and cleaned himself up before he went to bed to try to sleep, he just hoped his godson was ok.
James and Lilly watched their long time friend, cycle through so many emotions as he read through what his godson had been through. They knew he be shocked, they just hoped that he had learnt his lesson and no chasing after Dumbledore as he would land himself back in prison. They flew out of the room just before he turned and Sirius could not sniff they was there as phoenix magic can hide themselves in plain sight from humans and animals alike. Phoenix's are only seen if they want to be seen.
The following morning Sirius awoke, he had never felt so well rested, he was glad to be out of askaban, he just hoped his godson was ok. Poppy made him have breakfast before he was allowed to go and see Harry, after eating his breakfast, Poppy would not let him leave until he had an empty plate. He was shown to where his godson was and he was still asleep. Sirius took up by his bedside and started to stroke his feathers to comfort the boy, that was his son in all but blood.
Six Hours later
Harry awoke and he was groggy, he looked around and the first person he saw was Sirius, he could not believe they had made it, he looked around for Fawkes but he could not see him anywhere. He tried to see if he could speak to Sirius.
"Sirius can you hear me?"
Sirius had dozed off and he heard some sort of song, he looked up and could see the bird, who everyone had told him, was Harry, He looked into his eyes and then there was no doubt in his mind that this was Harry, Those green eyes was Lily's and he would not miss them anywhere. Sirius was overwhelmed and tears started to fall down his face while he gave Harry a big hug. Sirius felt weird hugging a majestic bird, he was just glad no one here that would make a mockery out of him.
Harry called for Poppy and asked her if Fawkes had returned, and she informed Harry that Fawkes had not returned yet, but in the phoenix re-birth register that we keep here showed that Fawkes was reborn last night and it stated that he exhausted his magic to a point where it was gone, and that is one reason for a re-birth.
"Do you have any idea where he could be poppy?"
"I'm sorry Harry, I do not know where he is, he shares a bond with you, so when you are back in the human world your bond should direct you to where he is."
"Thank you Poppy, would you know if there is anyway that Sirius would be able to hear me without having to bond to him?"
"Harry there is a spell, but it has not been used on a human for over one thousand years, but it is dangerous, when you cast the spell it will try to determine if he is worthy to speak and listen to us, if they are found not worthy the spell will kill them. My advice to you is try to find Fawkes and ask him for advice."
Poppy then went over and explained to Sirius the situation, and about the spell, Sirius being the Gryffindor he was wanted to do it straight away. Poppy refused and said he should wait until Fawkes returns with Harry. There could perhaps be another way, without risking your life. Sirius had no choice but to accept, but that did not mean he liked it. He wanted to speak to his godson but was being denied the chance.
Harry then asked Poppy to look after Sirius while he went back to the human world to find Fawkes. He flew to the exit of the realm and flashed away to the last place he saw Fawkes. He could see the ashes, but no Fawkes. Harry took flight and tried to reach out to Fawkes he could feel a slight tug but nothing as strong as he knew. Harry knew from his training that when phoenix's are reborn, their magical signature was very weak, this was not going to be easy.
James and Lilly decided to go out into the real world and trying to find out what was being done after Sirius had escaped Azkaban and they would try and find Fawkes while they was at it as they knew what it was like to be a newborn you had barley any access to your powers. They let Poppy know what they was going to do and to tell Harry they would be watching him as he travelled around trying to find his Two mates. They thought it would be too much to tell Sirius who they were they would let Harry do that when, he was returned to his Human form.
Headmaster Office Hogwarts
Back in the headmasters office in Hogwarts, Albus was trying to place spell after spell to bond the damn bird back to him, but nothing was working he was getting desperate.
Fawkes was sitting back in the office he hated and the old man was trying to get a bond to work, he had not yet worked out that he had bonded to someone else, therefore no bonding spells would work. Albus also knew his body was too young to flame travel and Albus had tied him down to his perch, so he could not run off and hide. Fawkes hoped Harry would come for him and take him back to the realm where his growth would only be a week instead of a month. Fawkes then felt a slight tug he smiled internally he knew his master was coming for him, and from what he could tell he was not a happy boy.
Somewhere over Britain
Harry was stretching his wings like never before if anyone had looked up and seen him, they would have seen a wonderful sight, that had not been seen in the wizarding world for one thousand years. A pure white phoenix with a gold underlay. Only a few people knew that those markings signified he was the king. Harry felt the pull getting stronger and he suddenly found Fawkes, he knew he was small, so he locked onto his signal and flame travelled to where Fawkes was.
Headmasters Office
Albus was sitting at his desk, trying to find out if any spells could be used to bond against the Phoenix's will. Albus also knew this was the last of the Phoenix's and the king had not been seen for over one thousand years. Albus was blinded by a bright white light that filled his office, Albus reacted and pulled his wand out ready to face whatever it was and what he saw made his jaw drop. In front of him was the king of phoenixs'.
He sent a spell he knew that would bond the phoenix to him before it bonded to anyone else, to his surprise the spell just bounced off.
All Albus heard a was and angry trill from the bird, he could not believe his spell just bounced off him. Harry launched himself at Albus he had his claws out and landed on his shoulder, and projected his voice to Albus, as Fawkes had taught him.
"I DO NOT KNOW WHO YOU ARE BUT YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER SEND A SPELL AT A CREATURE OF THE LIGHT, I AM WITHIN MY RIGHTS TO KILL YOU, BUT I WON'T BECAUSE I KNOW YOU ARE JUST AN OLD MAN, NOW IF I EVER SEE OR HEAR ABOUT YOU TRYING TO BOND TO A MAGICAL CREATURE AGAINST HIS OR HER WILL AGAIN, I WILL HAVE NO QUALMS ABOUT CARRYING OUT MY THREAT"
Harry then flamed across the office grabbed Fawkes and flamed away before Albus could send anymore spells at him.
Albus was far beyond upset, a damn bird had just flamed in here and taken his phoenix he now knew why the bond had broke, Fawkes had been bound to serve the crown and no one was powerful enough to break that bond. But that was not what had got Albus upset , as soon as the phoenix landed on his shoulder it paralysed him he could not move, only listen and he knew he was in trouble now. With the king of phoenix's' back the population of phoenix would grow and all magical creatures would answer to the king. This was not good for Albus because he knew this would change the wizarding world for a long time to come.
Phoenix Realm
Harry flamed back in the entry passage to the realm and carried Fawkes into the room for new born phoenix's' where he could recover quickly. He did not know who that man was but he had a good idea, and if that was Dumbledore he would have to watch himself when he went to Hogwarts, because no doubt he would want to control him.
AN: Thank you all so much for your reviews so Fawkes is back where he belongs and Sirius is free. Will Sirius pass the test of worthiness to able to speak to phoenixs'.
Next chapter Harry meets one of his life mates and the chapter after that he will meet the other, if you do not know who they will be then read back, there is enough hints!
Dumbledore is now scared he does not want this king back, he will loose control of the magical creatures and he does not want that, without Fawkes on his shoulder, he will just be seen as any other wizard, Powerful but he only wants glory for himself.
The Weasley's make an appearance and Dumbledore tries to get the Weasley's to side with him, will he succeed or will it be another failure.
Thanks for reading and keep up the reviews they really do make my day
