1.1 Chapter 1
Letter From a Deadman
One misty dreary day sometime between very late winter and extremely early
spring, Albus Dumbledore sat at his cluttered desk, working half heartedly on a
parchment for the Ministry of Magic. He sucked on his quill as he wrote. (Which
happened to be one of Honey Dukes special Sugar Quills.) He was just putting
the Hogwarts seal on the envelope when Fawkes flew in his window, small water
droplets making his bright plumage shine.
"Perfect timing as always." Dumbledore told the magnificent bird fondly. "I
have a letter for you. His eyes twinkled as Fawkes showed him a letter. "And
you have one for me I see."
Dumbledore took the parchment in his aged hand and stared at it in surprise.
Not only was the letter torn and dirty, but it had been sent from the school
grounds, and shimmered with a scarlet and gold glow.
"That's strange." The old headmaster mused. "This looks like the old Gryfindor
seal…We stopped using House Seals in the mid seventies to help unite the school
during the dark days." He quickly opened the letter; his face going from
serious, to shocked, to somber as he read.
Professor Dumbledore,
Sirius, Lily and I have some confessions to make (No, not about dying Snape's
hair green…) Sir; we have messed up this time. Badly. It was honestly all a
mistake, and we really need your help. See you at breakfast tomorrow Sir.
Respectfully,
James Potter
Gryfindor Class of 74
Circa 1972
Dumbledore sat quietly for a moment, holding the letter. Then he turned to his
pet with a strangely calm quiet voice. "Fawkes? Who sent this? Where did you
get it from?" Fawkes just sat there, staring at him with big eyes full of
unspoken knowledge.
Dumbledore sighed, and petted the phoenix. "Forget my letter Fawkes. Got get
Minerva…We may need to call a school assembly. It's not everyday you get a
letter that was mailed thirty years ago."
He watched the Phoenix rise out the window. "Especially from James Potter.
