[HP] The Order of the Phoenix Family

1.

The first time this happened, Fox should have felt bad.

That was the first few years when it just recognized Albus Dumbledore as an interesting human being and started traveling with him.Soon Dumbledore went to teach Transfiguration, and worked diligently in the Gryffindor Tower every day, becoming an extraordinary ordinary part-time teacher.

In August, the head of Gryffindor was writing lesson plans at his desk, and Fox was as beautiful as a flower on his gilded perch.Usually it is beautiful and beautiful, it may just take a nap, wake up and fly around the castle for a while to stretch its muscles and bones, then come back and watch Dumbledore's unremitting efforts to let the ignorant little devils understand his ideas, and the little days are leisurely. comfortable.

Then one day, Fox finished letting the wholesome fume blow his feathers, flew through the glass and flew back to the office, only to find that there was an extra human here.It's nothing more than that, the key point is that the human opened his mouth wide and his eyes lit up when he saw it.Fox is used to receiving the attention of humans, but it is out of awe of the divine bird, and this person gives it the feeling... like watching a roast duck.

"Oh, it's so beautiful, so beautiful..." The man stared obsessively at the tail of the big bird that had just flown into the house.

Fox proudly folded his wings, shook his tail, and found a better angle to make it look radiant.

"Fox, this is Mr. Ollivander." Dumbledore introduced gently, "He heard that I was lucky enough to make friends with Phoenix, and asked me to introduce him to you."

Is this human society?Fox pecked at his wing feathers, and turned his head slightly.Ollivander is far from interesting enough to make him want to follow the past, but there is a passion and focus in him that, when used correctly, can create something with soul.Most human beings have this kind of potential, but digging it and turning it into concrete results will always be a thorny road full of blood and tears, and only a few people can walk it.

Not too bad, the human.

"Go ahead, Mr. Ollivander."

Ollivander stepped forward and asked reverently, "May I pluck two of your tail hairs?"

... take back the review.

For Dumbledore's sake, Fox didn't punch a hole in his skull.

Later, it realized that although this guy's request was unreasonable, his attitude was quite correct. He didn't pluck his hair for crime or glory and wealth. The chosen little wizard; more importantly, Dumbledore asked Ollivander to come every day. If the wand maker finally returned disappointed, Fox would be the only bad bird, and he would bear the responsibility for the lack of British wand supply.

So forget it, isn't it just two hairs?

Fox combed the tail that was no longer in distress, thinking that Ollivander might come back after Nirvana next time, the more he thought about it, the more angry he flew into the Forbidden Forest to hold the unicorn with his claws, and threw it into the wand maker's trap.

Small sample, if labor and capital are short of hair, none of you can run away.

Distressed but distressed, Fox was quite curious about who he chose with his wand with tail hair.A few years later, as soon as Tom Riddle entered the school, he felt the call of his feathers to the opponent's wand, and every feather had its own owner.

Alas, the child is not a stupid child, but unfortunately he is a bad child.

Fox watched the other party go from forming cliques at school to take advantage of others, to committing crimes, murder, and arson after graduation, adding a lot of gray hair to Dumbledore, and he felt more and more distressed about his tail every day.I also blame Ollivander for using his own tail hair to make yew wood, and finally chose such an unscrupulous master. Next time that guy wants to pluck the hair, there is no way.

But these are later stories.

At present, the source of Dumbledore's gray hair is still across the strait, and it is uncertain when he will cross the sea and land on the island.People are panicking, and people from all walks of life are urging the Transfiguration teacher to become a hero. Although Fox doesn't understand why Dumbledore procrastinates, he feels that the righteous crowd can stand up and talk without pain.

You do what you want, but if you can't manage yourself well, what kind of skill is generosity to others.

Dumbledore's hesitation didn't last long, at least by Fox's standards—after all, taking the cyclical immortal relationship between Phoenix and Fire as the yardstick, it didn't take long for Dumbledore to hesitate until he died.In short, seeing Dumbledore's posture in writing the letter, Fox knew that he was going to accept the move.

As far as single-person force is concerned, according to the long-term collected information, Dumbledore has a great chance of winning.But intelligence is just intelligence after all, and in a real duel, no one can guarantee that they will be able to retreat unscathed.It knew that Dumbledore's trip was to bury the war and some heart-wrenching past events, and it was the people who were about to or had been innocently killed that drove him to make a decision, but those people didn't care about it.They just reach out: give me safety, give me peace, the sooner the better.

Dumbledore rolled up the letter and took out the wax as Fawkes moved gently from the perch, shaking off the least important down from around his neck.The teacher stopped in a little surprise, watching them turn into a ball of flames, and the melted wax of the package fell on the seal of the envelope, and the flames jumped and spread, covering the entire letter box.

As such, this letter can only be opened by someone worthy of Dumbledore's death.

"Thank you, Fox." Dumbledore stamped the wax, "But don't be too strict, I deserve it."

It was definitely not Fox's illusion. After returning from Europe with all his beard and tail, Dumbledore became more and more casual with the magic bird in his office.It may have something to do with getting older, and Phoenix made a bad start by plucking its own hair and baking wax. The professor of transfiguration discovered that it was a kind of unlimited renewable resource, and not only asked it to shed hair several times when sending important letters, but later Even the high-level security of the castle was covered by it.

He patrols diligently every day, and when he finds something, he has to peck off his hair to send a warning, so he asks what it is trying to do?Picture the herbs that Dumbledore fed, or picture other people's old mouths?

The person you choose, you have to follow (him) to death if you complain.Broken cans, Fox gradually became less particular. The careless gamekeeper did not bring a flint to help with the barbecue during the picnic. In winter, the stove was not burning well and pulled out a supplement. The children were frozen in snowball fights and pulled out a hand to help keep warm... Anyway, no matter how it appears on the stage, everyone's reaction will be "wow Phoenix is ​​so amazing", and there is no sense of accomplishment in maintaining the image of exuberant hair.Just think of paying the rent, and when it becomes so ugly that I can't bear it, Fox will go straight to nirvana.

Sometimes it thinks that its own changes may also be related to the Nirvana Taiqin in recent decades.With the accumulation of experience, human beings will not be easily changed when they live to a certain age. The same is true for other creatures with thoughts and emotions. The situation is different here in Phoenix.It will not forget, but at the same time it has been reborn after the ashes, witnessing what should be a repeated cycle, and it is like painting color on white paper.Fox is thus always curious, always impressionable, and inevitably grows more like the human beings he lives with with each rebirth.

Watching Dumbledore's red-brown hair transform into silver, it also felt as if it had grown old.

When he became the principal, he no longer needed to teach, but Dumbledore was not at all idle.There is no end to work, and you will have the strength to work when you are full. This simple truth is understood by birds, but this wise man among humans does not understand it.The slow-cooked mutton brought by the elf was so cold that the soup began to clump together, and Fox flapped his wings, sadly thinking that he was using his precious body to heat dinner for human beings.

There is no way, when it reminds him like this, Dumbledore will always put down work and eat quickly.

But if not the perfect image, Fox is at least reluctant to be seen bald.

Severus Snape froze for a moment when he saw the shaggy phoenix clearly.

"Nirvana again?"

That's a good use of the word, Fox thought, I'll burn your hair when my hair grows back.

"Fawkes saved my life by blocking a Death Curse for me in the Department of Mysteries," Dumbledore replied. "Gives me a chance to repel Voldemort."

Fox would have snorted if he had a nose, as if he needed the compliment.As far as the second half of the sentence is concerned, Dumbledore can escape without it, but it will take some time to subdue Riddle.Dumbledore was late, and many people were seriously injured, including children. The situation at the time could not afford to delay, and why did the guy still hold its tail hair to show off?

Fortunately, the other kid who took its tail hair had clean eyes and was loyal to Dumbledore, so its first plucking was not completely blind.

"The Dark Lord is very angry at the loss of the first battle of the Department of Mysteries, and he has no plans to rescue the captured Death Eaters from Azkaban." Snape looked away, "Especially Lucius Malfoy, he may Will do something to Draco to punish him."

"Keep an eye on it, Severus." Dumbledore said, "I may be going out in the near future, so we will temporarily cut off contact."

"I'm used to it," Snape said dryly.

Later, both he and Fox felt that it would be good if they insisted on following. For this reason, Fox let his hair go.

"Stop it, Fawkes," muttered Dumbledore. "It is indeed marvelous magic, and not even your tears can heal it completely. My luck seems to be running out, thinking that a good mind is being used in the wrong place." , always sad..."

During the years of staying with Dumbledore temporarily, Fox has seen batch after batch of students.Teach them well or leave them alone, and they will grow up on their own, and after a while, children who look like them will appear again, year after year.The way of human inheritance is completely different from that of phoenixes. Although their lives are short, occasionally, Fox wonders whether it is boring to go back and forth to Nirvana without changing the medicine.

"I'm going, Fox," said the old man, "but I've been here long enough."

Fenghuang shook his head, and shed the last pearly tear on his scorched arm.

5.

Harry silently took the fake locket out of his pocket, opened it and handed it to Ron.Let's talk about the whole story later... Tonight it doesn't matter anymore... What matters is that it's over, the pointless adventure is over, Dumbledore's life is over...

"RAB," Ron whispered, "who is he?"

"I don't know," said Harry, lying down with his clothes on, looking up blankly.He had no curiosity about the RAB at all, and he doubted he would ever have any.Lying there, he suddenly felt that the field was extremely silent.Fox has stopped singing.

He knew - though he couldn't quite figure out why - that the Phoenix was gone, forever out of Hogwarts, like Dumbledore forever out of the school, out of the world... away from Harry.

On this point, this young and special student is right.But what he didn't know was that at dawn before the funeral, a big golden-red bird soared into the sky, and its falling feathers turned into flames, burning up the dark clouds over the castle.It flies, flies, until the ugly young bird is wrapped in the last bit of embers and falls into the dense jungle. The next moment, the glory of the morning sun sprinkles the earth.

Those are the most beautiful and pleasant days of summer.
