Dear Readers, this is not going to
be Mpreg, just thought I�d explain this before you read the chapter. Yes I�m
putting the Veela clich� in, but I�m putting it in as a means of showing that
it can be over come. Trust me, this isn�t another Veela fic. Furthermore, this
chapter is just a spacer chapter; the next will be Harry and Snape coming out
of the Transformation and Harry and Co participating in the Dueling Tournament.

the alternate URL is on my Bio, enjoy!

�Headmaster!� Hermione exclaimed with the group walked back
in the office. �Why didn�t Harry just---Oh Merlin, where�s Harry!� she
exclaimed not seeing him as the group all made it in.

�Calm
down Miss Granger, Harry is alive,� Dumbledore said taking Harry out of his
pocket and setting in on the extra perch next to Fawkes�.

�He
used that much magic?� Draco breathed.

�About
got himself killed!� Professor McGonagall shrilled.

�Grand
Patronus� though!� Flitwick piped up.

�Patronus�,
as in plural, how did he do that?� Hermione asked confused.

�He
had several. He had a Stag, Grim, Werewolf, Dragon, Griffin,
Lion, Lioness, Owl, and what seemed to be a Crumple‐Horned Snorkack!�
the small man squealed excitedly as he ticked them off on his finger.

�His
father, Sirius, Professor Lupin, Draco, Ron, Neville, Ginny, Hermione, and me,�
Luna listed off looking intently at Harry.

�What?�
Ron asked now confused himself.

�Ron,
honestly, a Patronus takes the form of that which makes you feel safe. Harry�s
forms were representations of us and his father,� Hermione said in a delighted
voice. �We make him feel safe,� she explained.

�But
who is what?� Neville asked.

�The
Stag belongs to his father, the Grim to Sirius, the Werewolf to Remus, Dragon
to Draco, Griffin to Ron, Lion to Neville, Lioness to Ginny, Owl to me, and the
Crumpled-Horned Snorkack to Luna,� Hermione explained.

�I�m
a magical creature?� Ron asked with wide eyes.

�Well
it makes sense doesn�t it? Mr. Clause said that you had the aptitude to be able
to have a magical creature for an Animagus. You never know, it could be a Griffin,�
Ginny reasoned.

�Wow,�
Ron said looking back at the small wrinkled creature that was Harry with
feathers.

�Wait,
where�s Professor Snape? Where�s Severus?� Draco said quickly.

�That,
Mr. Malfoy, is a mystery to us all. He jumped between the killing curse and
Potter and just before it hit, Potter grabbed him close and turned them both
into a shiny black bird with red eyes. Then the bird ate the killing curse and
was gone in a puff of smoke and ash. That is what remained,� Professor Sinistra
explained motioning to the frail creature on the bottom of the perch.

�So
Snape is dead?� Ginny said fearfully horrified.

�We
do not yet know Miss Weasley. I have a feeling that Harry splinched himself and
Severus together in an effort to save them both. We�ll have to sort it out
after the bird reaches a youthful age,� Dumbledore explained.

�The
Shadow Phoenix, I thought you told him never to use it!� Hermione wailed at the
Headmaster in an accusing tone.

�Miss
Granger, you will watch your tone with the Headmaster,� McGonagall reproached
her. Hermione had the good grace to blush and mutter an apology.

�Quite alright my dear. Yes, I did warn him against it but
seeing as a curse of the Dark Arts was coming at him, I think the Shadow form
came forward to take care of the situation,� Dumbledore explained as he made
his way around the desk to sit in his high-backed chair.

�So
he ate the Killing Curse?� Ginny asked.

�Indeed
he did. He knew he could, after all, he saw Fawkes do it for me at the Ministry
of Magic last term,� Albus explained.

�So
it wasn�t because he used so much magic?� Hermione asked.

�Given
how much he actually used today, I�d say he would have burned in a few days
anyway. He used a massive amount of Will magic to put those wards up. Not to
mention the Apperation of all the professors, the Patronus� and dueling a bit
in Hogsmeade,� the headmaster said thoughtfully.

�He
dueled?� Neville asked.

�He
did. Mostly just small things like making the curses veer off and keeping the
Deatheaters busy while the other professors apprehended them,� he answered.

�So
he was making the curses veer off course, I knew that wasn�t natural,�
Professor Sprout piped up.

�Ah
yes, he is becoming quite resourceful with his abilities,� Dumbledore said.

�But
he should have known better than to start with You-Know-Who Albus! He must be
punished for that. He told you he would not interfere!� Professor McGonagall
said sternly.

�That
I did. But had he not interfered, the hidden Death Eaters would have started
helping Voldemort try to kill me. They feared for their lives but would not
dare leave without their master,� Albus explained. �Were it not for him, I
would have been in over my head.�

The
silence that filled the room after the remark was deafening. The Headmaster of
Hogwarts, the only one Voldemort was afraid of, the one who took out
Grindelwald, the Savoirthe the Light side-Great Albus Dumbledore was admitting
that he would have been in over his head. To most, well really, all, it was a
horrifying revelation. Of course they knew he wasn�t invincible, but they never
saw him as fallible either.

�You
really don�t think you could have taken on a couple of Deatheaters and
You-Know-Who at the same time?� Ron asked quietly.

�Ron!�
Hermione chided, �Say his name for Pete�s sake, say
it!� she demanded. He just looked at her for a second before opening his mouth
to speak.

�V-Vol,�
he tried then gave a heavy sigh, �Vold-d-emort-t,� he floundered. Hermione
rolled her eyes at him.

�Ron,�
Ginny began �Harry, Hermione, Professor Dumbledore, even most of the Order
members can say his name. You�ve heard it for years now, you don�t even flinch
when his name is said anymore, but you can�t say it yourself. Where�s your
Gryffindor courage?�

�I
was raised not to say it; it�s hard to change something that was done your
whole life. You don�t say it,� Ron pointed out.

�I
refer to him as Riddle and you know why Ronald,� she said sternly, �But if I
had to say Voldemort, I could,� she said just to prove a point.

�That�s
enough everyone. Yes, it�s true that fearing him only makes him stronger among
the people, but there is no shame in fearing evil, that is, as long as you
believe that goodness will prevail. Otherwise, the darkness will take you, and
everything you hold dear,� Albus said gravely.

�Harry
has had almost everything he holds dear taken from him anyway. I don�t
understand how he can just choose to be good. The world as a whole is losing
this war, good is losing. If casualties are what defines who is winning and who
is losing, then the darkness has a very large head start. With all the Muggles
Riddle and his followers have killed or injured, not to mention the wizards,
