A/N Ok this will be the last chapter of 'Rebirth of the Phoenix' sorry for the shortness of the last chappie
New Beginning
Harry gazed around a, now familiar, room. A tattered veil swayed in an unfelt breeze, and a figure was sitting with his head in his hands in front of it.
"Sirius!" Harry yelled running toward him. Sirius looked up with a pained smile.
"Hey Harry."
"What's wrong?" Harry asked concerned.
"Nothing lasts forever kid. It's my time to fully pass now."
Harry fell to his knees in front of him, "But you can't- please don't go."
Sirius knelt beside him and hugged him gently, muttering softly, "It's not my choice, but you have to move on kid." He pulled back and brushed Harry's bangs out of his face, "You have to move on. I'll always be with you, just not in body anymore."
Harry lowered his eyes, feeling miserable, "I don't want to lose you again."
Sirius smiled but said firmly, "You have Remus, Dumbledore, and Ron and Hermione. They all love you and will be there for you, but I can't anymore. Just promise me two things." At Harry's nod, he continued, "One; you won't mourn me again and live your life fully, you're still young."
"That's two things." Harry muttered softly, giving him a small smile.
Sirius rolled his eyes, "Work with me kid. Anyway, number two; get rid of 'ole Voldie for me, give Remus as much trouble as possible, and enjoy your last year of Hogwarts. There that's three."
"Five actually." Harry corrected holding back a grin.
Sirius grinned, "Thanks, Professor Potter."
Harry smiled and hugged Sirius, "I'm going to miss you Padfoot."
Sirius hugged him back, "Right back at yah. I'll say hi to your parents for you and I don't expect to see you anytime soon, okay?"
Harry nodded and let go of Sirius.
"Now, listen closely, I don't have much time. You remember the whole 'orb of Lumen thing'?"
Harry winced recalling the pain and nodded.
"Well, that wicked gold ring you made, you just busted it, from the whole shard ritual. The power of the shard going through you caused it to crack and soon it will stop separating your magic and you'll be back in that awful state you were in at the beginning of the summer."
"So what do I do? Make another?" Harry asked wincing at the thought, as he remembered how it felt like fire was going through his arm.
"Nope, that's done and over with." Sirius paused and looked over his shoulder at the veil, which was just brushing his shoulders, when he spoke again it was quicker with more urgency, "No time, look, return that shard to the temple and seal it. Ask Lady Kali for training. Your power is too strong to just channel through an object, so you'll have to learn how to control it within your own body."
The veil was now wrapping around him like a cloak, "Love you Harry." Sirius whispered before disappearing within the dark folds.
Harry woke up, sun shining through the hospital wing's windows.
Looking around, Harry couldn't help but smile when he caught sight of Moony fast asleep, half on a chair and half on the bed.
Harry got up silently and grabbed the clean pair of robes lying on a chair next to his bed. He slipped them on, then he examined the ring on his finger; true to what Sirius had said, there was a spider web of cracks all over the gold and the darker gold inside the ring was moving sluggishly.
He gently shook Moony's arm, saying softly "Moony wake up."
Moony groaned and looked up at Harry sleepily, before jolting up, "Harry! You're awake! How are you feeling? Are you alright?"
Harry shrugged, "I feel fine but," He looked at the cracked ring, "I don't think I will soon."
Moony nodded sympathetically, "You might have to use the orb of Lumen again. And that means we have to go on that bloody cart again to get into the Black vault." He finished muttering unhappily.
Harry gave a small smile, "Nah, I can't keep channeling my magic through an object, I've got to learn how to use it."
Moony smiled and gently brushed Harry's bangs away from his face, painfully reminiscent of Sirius. A crease formed on Moony's brow as Harry winced, "Are you in pain?" He asked softly, deeply concerned.
Harry shook his head, "I'm alright, but I need to talk to...... Lady Kali."
"Lady Kali? Why?" Moony asked perplexed.
Harry shrugged, "She can help me handle my power."
Moony raised an eyebrow, "How do you know?"
Just giving Moony a smile, he asked, "Madam Pomfrey here?"
Moony shook his head, looking worried again, "No, are you sure you're alright? Do you need to see her?"
"Nope, I just want to get out of here." Harry answered heading toward the door. Moony laughed and caught up to him. They walked side by side out of the hospital ward, turning when they heard a call, "Harry James Potter! You cannot leave the hospital wing without my consent! Where on earth are you?". Harry and Moony looked at each other for a moment before breaking out into a run.
Finals were finally upon them, and Remus chose to let Harry finish up the year, as he had already done most of the teaching. Defense Against the Dark Arts, once again became everyone's favorite class with the return of Harry. Remus teased Harry mercilessly about the number of blushing girls coming up to him after class and asking if he was feeling better.
Harry, had yet to return the shard, and currently had it inside the compass compartment (with the help of an expending charm) of the Gryffindor pendant, which he wore daily. Harry was careful about how much magic he used lately, and Dumbledore had him exempt from taking finals, saying how teaching DADA for the year showed his skill well enough.
When he wasn't teaching, Harry and Remus spent their time either tutoring or simply spending time together. Remus had sent an owl to Kali and Tiernan asking if they could help with Harry's condition.
The letter he received was very vague, but asked that Harry be sent to Tiernan's castle for most of the summer to do....... what ever it was he was doing.
Remus was very unhappy about that at first and had planned to accompany Harry, until Dumbledore came to speak with him,
"Remus I know you planned to accompany Harry to Tiernan's castle but something has come up. Voldemort has gotten hold of one of the shards of Heka."
"What?!" Harry shouted jumping up from the chair he had been sitting on, "How?"
"The shard Helga Hufflepuff inherited was not lost, which was widely believed, but taken by robbers as it was on its way to Hogwarts. While Voldemort searched for the strongest shard, he sent his deatheaters looking for the other. He plans to use the shard to break the seal of the Tree of Braeden and relish unspeakable horrors on the world."
"The Tree of Braeden? It sounds familiar...." Remus mused softly.
Dumbledore nodded grimly, "In your travels perhaps you've heard of it. In many beliefs there exists a tree of Life. This tree holds all the wisdom of the world in its roots and fruits, and is believed to grant immortality to those who eat the fruits. Wither or not this tree exits in not of my knowledge, however the tree of Braeden does exist.
Long ago a Greek by the name of Alekos captured all the evil demons and monsters in the world and sealed them inside a great tree. The tree grew and flowered, and in each flower and fruit, a demon was born back into the world. Boggarts came from the withered fruits that fall to the ground and dementors from any ripe fruit that breaks open when it falls. However the seal is still on, keeping the worst creatures imaginable locked away, creatures that make up your nightmares.
With the shard of Heka, Voldemort can break the seal and release the hell- creatures into the world. Remus I need your help, while Harry trains with Lady Kali and Lord Tiernan."
So Remus had agreed to research, contact various people he had met on his travels, and find out as much as he could about the tree. Harry would go to the castle right after the Hogwarts Express left. Remus promised to try and see him over the summer, and perhaps arrange him to meet with Ron and Hermione over the summer.
Ron and Hermione were speechless when Harry told them. Ron, in fear of Voldemort relishing the monsters, Hermione, because Harry was talking about something she had never heard of.
The last few days were filled with tension for Harry, but he always managed to give a smile to the waving first and second years as they thanked him for the good grades and wished him a good summer.
When it came time for Dumbledore's closing speech, Harry's trunk was packed to go to Tiernan's castle and Remus' trunk for various places Remus had refused to tell Harry about. When Harry suggested that probably half of the places were pubs and that was why Remus didn't want to tell him, Remus went bright red and muttered he had something to do before leaving.
"As I close this year," Dumbledore said looking at his students, "I'd like to thank Mr. Harry Potter for taking over DADA classes with a tremendous success," He broke off as the whole student body, save a few Slytherins, Malfoy included, broke out into applause, Ron and Hermione among them, and Harry felt a blush rise in his cheeks as he suddenly found how interesting his plate was.
When the applause finally died down, Dumbledore spoke again, "Next year we will have a few pleasant changes. The first will be the return of Quidditch matches." Again Dumbledore had to wait for the applause to die down before continuing, "Also other extra curriculum classes will be secluded. With all that said and done, tuck in!"
"So what are you two doing this summer?" Harry asked as they dug into dinner.
"Mum's taking us to a new headquarters for the order." Ron said between bites, "Apparently we have to 'fix it up' for them to move in. It'd better be cleaner than the old one, that would take ages.........."
"And there might be spiders," Harry commented slyly, grinning with Hermione as Ron shuddered.
"And you Hermione?" Harry asked.
"I'm going home, at least at first. I expect I'll join the Weasleys later. Aren't you nervous about going to Tiernan's castle? Imagine, living with real vampires and werewolves all summer, I'll bet you'll learn loads about them........"
"Harry can ask Lupin anything about werewolves and vampires. Just make sure you don't get bitten mate." Ron said tucking into his dessert.
"Thanks Ron." Harry said dully, watching him.
Harry saw them to the door in the Entrance Hall, before going back up into Moony's room and flopping on his packed trunk, watching Moony run from room to room trying to get organized.
Two hours later, Harry hugged Remus goodbye and walked into Tiernan's castle, his home for the summer. His training was about to begin.
The End of Part 2
A/N well there you have it part three's title will be 'Phoenix Flame' unless someone can come up with a better one for me.......
READ THIS PLEASE!!!
Here's a preview of what's to come in the next part:
"I just saw my life pass before my eyes!" Ron gasped as Harry dragged him down behind the large slab of stone, his pale face illuminated by the flashes of light coming from the dueling wizards around them.
Harry grinned cheekily, "Well how was it?"
Ron considered it, "Bit dull till I met you......" They grinned at each other before standing up and rejoining the battle.
"Harry I can't believe you were so reckless!" Remus yelled looking furious, "What would your parents think if-"
"My parents are dead Remus! They don't have anything to say about it!"
"Beat it you over-grown mosquito!"
Please review!!!!!!! Lots of reviews might help get it out faster!!!!!!
