Chapter 2
Climbing up the stairs with small huffs, Harry finally got to the Headmaster's door. Getting across the gargoyle was pretty easy, since he was an animal, he wasn't seen as a threat and was able to cross over.
Safest place they said....
~
Raising his furry paws- merlin he hated this even more- he clawed onto the headmaster's door.
Silence.
ARGH!!! SIR PLEASE!! I'm begging to whatever God is out there, to HELP me!!
After more scratches, pawing at the door and hisses, the door finally opened. and there stop, the headmaster of the school. Albus DUmbledore with his twinkling eyes.
YES! SIR please please help me!
“Oh well hello there little one.” The headmaster said with a smile, however his eyes, is what caused Harry to take a small step back.
Dumbledore's eyes gleamed with bitterness. They were hard and had a look of annoyance and disgust as he peered down at the small kitty.
“What is it with animals annoying me today?” the head,ster let his smile fall, a scowl taking form on his wrinkled face. “Fawkes not listening to me, my plans are not moving as I wanted, and then this pesky nuisance bothers me” the old man tutted.
With a huff the man stomped his foot close enough to the kitty, almost stepping on him.
“go on, shoo!”
“ HISS! meoww??” the cat meowed, entering the old wizard more than he was.
“Ah.. fine! Let yourself in you brat.” he let the door open, walking back to his office, he started to pace, quite fast. stroking his beard, his eyes went unfocused as he kept murmuring.
Harry Potter isn't a smart lad. He didn't understand social cues well enough. He was stubborn. Sometimes lazy. Doesn’t study much. Spent time tucked in his loud depressive head and anger. snarky, and impatient.
But even so, he knew well enough that he should not intervene with the Headmaster at the moment. The man looked… desperate. something Harry has not seen on the cool grandfatherly face. However he had seen it in his uncle's face when he would come back from work after not getting what he wanted, which led to Vernon beating Harry up to let his anger out.
Taking a small step back, he plopped his bottom down on the cool stone floor. Fawks chirped down at Harry, tilting its head knowingly. However, Harry didn't focus on that.
The bird looked sick .
Not sick in, dying to ashes and soon going to be reborn, type. no. the type that the bird looked like he was actually going to die and not revive back. It worried Harry, and it brought him back to what Dumnledore has said about Fawks not even a few minutes ago. he turned to look at the man, who not leaned onto his desk with his hands, muttering with a wild crazed look that sent shivers down Harry's little body.
“yes.. yes that would work..” Said the headmaster with twinkling eyes as he straightened himself and sat down on his chair. Leaving back he held his hands on his stomach with a triumphant smile.
“I'll get the power back, its all according to plan. don't you think so, Fawkes?” the man taunted at the phoenix, who ruffled its sick looking wings as it cried out in desperation and anger.
The headmaster laughed lightly as if the bird's pain was amusing and not at all a bad thing.
“Oh my friend.. don't be like that. That boy will come back to me soon, I planted all the seeds I needed for Tom to get to Harry, it is taking quite longer than i thought it would, but once Severus comes along, convinces Tom to use Sirius as bait for Harry to go to the Departments of Mysteries, all a dream of course, but Harry, ah that stubborn boy will not think twice and run for danger for his loved once!” the old man laughed, a full belly laugh.
“Oh what a loyal soldier we got ourselves, Fawkes.. I just need to wait a bit after Harry goes to rescue his godfather that's not truly there, send small compulsions to get the prophecy, break it, run away, and let's see what it takes after that. I am pretty certain a fight will happen, yes, yes.. im certain” tha man said as he scratched his beard.
With a hum, Dumbledore looked down at the cat he seemed to forget was there and smirked at the small trembling thing.
“I can't wait for my weapon to get me everything I deserve.. after i send him to die.. I will get my power..”
