Chapter 1: Is More Always Good?

Harry couldn't believe it. He still thought he was going to wake up to have his last day of exams. But no it was real, it was as real and solid as anything else he could imagine. He had family. He had a godfather, granted it was a godfather that was an escaped convict but it was family. After a tricky bit of time-travel they had managed it he and Hermione had freed Sirius and made it back to the hospital wing without being seen by a single person!

Harry had just left Professor Lupin's or former Professor Lupin's office. It was a shame that he had to resign, and all because the greasy git had 'accidentally' let slip the nature of Moony's condition. Harry couldn't help go over the facts about the whole situation in his head on the way to the hospital wing, he wanted to have madam Pomfrey look him over he had been feeling like his entire body was burning since the previous night.

'Why should he resign? I mean granted he is dangerous but only for one night of the month are all wizards just stupid they could reduce the number of werewolf caused deaths or the number of people being turned on full moons if they gave out Wolfsbane potion free from that St. Mungos place Ron mentioned for the health care or something. Merlin knows I've seen enough donations made to the place in the Daily Prophet'.

Harry really didn't understand it. Why couldn't all wizards work this out! Or were they just stupid? Most likely, even Dumbledore seemed to fall short of understanding things sometimes even with the most simple solution being the most practical one and dancing naked in front of his face. He sighed as his thoughts turned back towards his current problem and why it seemed so familiar.

'Why does this feel so familiar to me? Granted I have experienced my share of pain from my ''Oh so loving relatives'' HA! More like personal jailers if you ask me. But that still doesn't answer my question as to why I feel like I've felt this before' he thought as he finally arrived at the hospital wing.

He looked around for Madam Pomfrey and finally settled for knocking on her office door. She sighed when she opened it realising who it was.

"Why am I not surprised Mr. Potter? Well let's see what's wrong then behind that curtain there'' she said indicating one of the beds. As he sat down, she started waving her wand over his person in intricate movements which were way too complex for him to follow, while she received several brightly coloured lights in return. He realised that every time he had been in the hospital wing Madam Pomfrey had placed him in the same bed he was sat on now.

'Why am I not surprised?' He thought with sarcasm 'Probably labelled it as my personal one in her mind, but then again I am what you could call a regular visitor. It's probably just her way of organising the ward, even if it's like an OCD'

"So what seems to be the problem then Mr. Potter and when did it start?''

''It feels like my whole body is burning and I'd have to say it started last night but with all the adrenaline coursing through my system I didn't really notice it properly'' she nodded and began her scanning again.

''How bad is the pain?''

''If were talking on a scale of one to ten then I'd have to say that it's about an eight or possibly a nine''. He stopped and looked towards the entrance of the ward when he heard footsteps approaching. A few seconds later the curtain was pulled back to reveal the face of headmaster Dumbledore and to Harry's surprise and horror a great grim-like shaggy black dog. Luckily madam Pomfrey didn't seem to notice as she was concentrating on her wand work so missed the brief widening of his eyes.

''Ah Harry I would ask if your well but since this is where we found you I think the answer would be obvious even for someone who does not possess the gift of a seer''. He said with his eyes twinkling. ''What's the problem myboy?'' Harry relayed everything he had just told madam Pomfrey to the headmaster, when he was finished the headmaster looked thoughtful.

''Harry when did this start specifically?'' it took Harry a second to realise it was by the lake the previous night.

''Last night sir, Down by the lake when I tried to cast my Patronus'' he replied giving the headmaster a pointed look. Dumbledore seemed to recognise it for what it was judging by his slow nod of the head.

''I wonder if I may have a word with our young Mr. Potter in private Poppy?'' The matron nodded looking none to impressed with been sent away to her office again the look in her eyes said as much.

'She must still be annoyed from been sent to her office last night' Harry mused a small smile on his face. When she closed the door to her office Dumbledore put up a privacy bubble and pulled the curtain shut again. When he was done there was a small pop as Sirius turned back into a man.

''Sirius what are you doing here and where is Buckbeak?'' Harry asked as his godfather swept him up in a hug.

''He's currently in a cave on the side of one of the mountains of Hogsmeade waiting to be sent to a preserve in Norway best place for him really he'll be able to stretch his wings and as for me I'm going to spend some time with my godson over the summer like I should have done when I became responsible for you'' the tone of his voice made it very clear that there was to be no argument about this. Harry nodded a smile on his face; he turned back to the headmaster when he cleared his throat.

''Harry I'm not sure what's going on but your magical reserves may be going through a growth spurt with the events of last night which may have prompted it because it has been known to happen. I wonder if you would cast a basic Lumos for me?'' Harry nodded his head as he pulled his wand out while standing in the process, thinking if he was becoming more powerful then it would certainly help for when ole Moldyshorts came after him again.

''Lumos''

The effect was instantaneous. The pain increased to almost unbearably so, he dropped his wand as he collapsed to the floor as it all clicked in his mind, his wand and glasses clattering away across the floor of the ward.

''I knew it seemed familiar'' he wheezed out as Sirius ran to get Poppy as Padfoot while Dumbledore summoned Fawkes. ''The pain it's exactly like a year ago in the chamber of secrets. It feels like basilisk venom only worse sir'' As Fawkes appeared in the ward with a flash of flames and Poppy appeared looking worried as Dumbledore cast a spell the result obviously wasn't good because he turned as white as a sheet and was speaking very fast.

''Harry you said this started when you cast your Patronus correct?'' At Harry's nod he continued even faster. ''The basilisk venom and phoenix tears left in your blood have absorbed the all residual magic and have become active once again. Once they are in your body either substance never leaves and with the tears already their adding more cannot combat them as such it is tearing your body apart from the inside out there is nothing we can do'' Upon hearing this Harry was shocked into silence.

'So this is how I go out huh? No hoards of chicks not at any ripe old age. Instead on the floor of the hospital wing? It's not so bad I guess at least I get to see mom and dad again. And let's face it, everything has its time'. He was broken out of his musing by the headmaster seemingly arguing with his phoenix.

''No Fawkes absolutely not he might not even survive it'' Everyone turned to the age old man all thinking the same thing 'is he crazy?' until Harry asked what he was doing.

''Phoenix's communicate telepathically Harry and can only communicate with their own species or other beings they are bonded too, Fawkes being my familiar can communicate with me'' Harry nodded then asked what he was saying no to.

''Fawkes suggested he start his regeneration cycle Harry and take you with him through it''

''What would happen to my body?'' he asked fighting through the pain.

''It would be destroyed and a new one made out of phoenix magic'' Harry nodded in understanding thinking quickly while madam Pomfrey placed a pillow under his head seemingly afraid to move him.

'If I don't do this then I'll die end of story but if I do then it's a fifty fifty chance, a dangerous move but it just might work. Merlin! It's like the werewolf thing all over again'. He broke himself out of his thoughts and turned to the majestic bird which was studying him intently. The next three words out of his mouth shocked the other three occupants of the room.

''Do it Fawkes''

''Harry you might not survive'' Harry turned from the phoenix to stare at the headmaster with an incredulous look.

''Headmaster if we don't do it I'll die with absolutely no chance of survival. But if we do its fifty fifty we don't know, I could still die but I'd rather go out knowing I'd taken the only chance available to me instead of dieing when I could possibly live''. Padfoot barked his agreement while madam Pomfrey nodded seeing he was right while the headmaster could have had a glowing light bulb over his head and it wouldn't look out of place. Fawkes on the other hand was giving him what could only be the phoenix version of a smile.

''Come on Fawkes let's do this'' Harry grunted the venom and tears starting to take its toll. Fawkes fluttered down onto his chest and burst into flames the moment he landed. It was warm even pleasantly so thought Harry as the blackness started to close in, Harry voiced what only thought he had if it was going to be his dieing one.

''Awards and achievements mean nothing if you have nobody to share them with, family is what you can share it with so hold on to it with everything you have and forget old differences. Family has been with you through everything as it should be in the end as it is in the beginning''. Then his world went black.

((TFOMK))

The headmaster, the healer and the animagus all watched with baited breath as the flames went out leaving a giant pile of ashes in its place and they finally got a good luck at Harry. It was then that they noticed something was different about him he was taller for one. Before he stood at four foot six quite short for someone his age but now he looked about five foot six on par with one Ronald Weasley (also known by the Slytherin's as the ginger giant). His hair looked soft and like baby Fawkes's feathers, his muscles were big and very noticeable but that might have been because it looked like you could have punched a hole in his chest beforehand, but they weren't completely huge like Crabbe and Goyle but lean and strong. As they edged closer Harry's eyes opened as he took a deep breath of air.

((TFOMK))

Harry opened his eyes while he took a deep breath of air like he had just come up from diving underwater when he realised something the pain had gone he looked at the headmaster grinning.

''It worked, its gone, all the pain has gone and if I'm honest I feel better than ever'' everyone seemed to sigh in relief as Dumbledore picked up the little fledgling Fawkes and put him in his pocket while madam Pomfrey gave him a pair of pyjamas as his clothes had been burnt to a crisp.

''Harry I'd like to run some tests just to be safe it looks like some things have changed other than the obvious''. Harry nodded and climbed into bed then turned to look the matron in the eye but she froze.

''What?'' He asked gaining the attention of the leaving headmaster as madam Pomfrey conjured a mirror.

''Your eyes their almost ...'' she trailed off allowing Harry to look for himself. Upon closer inspection he realised he wasn't wearing his glasses and he could see perfectly. But what really shocked him were the pupils.

''... feline'' He finished the old medi witch's sentence for her as she nodded. He couldn't believe it, his eyes were that same green they always were but now the pupils were slitted like a cats.

'Or a snakes' Harry thought to himself in surprise. 'What happened to me?'

''Madam Pomfrey can you run as many tests as you can please?'' he asked trying to keep calm. ''I need to know what's happened''. The old medi-witch nodded before starting the most complex wand movement he had seen so far while muttering incantations under her breath. She looked thankful as Professor Dumbledore handed her a sheet of conjured parchment which she nodded her thanks to then pressed the tip of her wand to it, which glowed white for a second before writing started appearing on it.

''Everything looks good, perfect in fact. Height, weight their all normal for someone your age the regeneration must have fixed it'' Harry nodded knowing that something had yet to go wrong.

'Come on just find it, nothing can ever be easy for me can it?'. And it looked like he was right when he saw her look at him and back to the parchment in quick succession in utter shock.

''Poppy what's wrong?'' Dumbledore prompted as they strained to hear her words.

''Species: ... Human ... Basilisk ...Phoenix... Hybrid'' The room had gone deathly quiet you could have heard a pin drop even baby Fawkes had stuck his head out of the headmasters pocket. Harry on the other hand had only one thought.

'Oh that's just effing great!'
