"Hello Albus" said Harry, forcing a smile on his face. "How are you ?"

"Very well my boy, thank you for asking" said the twinkling-eyed old man. "I'm sorry to say that i couldn't help to overhear your discussion. But first, I should congratulate you on your achievement".

"I'm sure you couldn't" muttered Harry, with a glare.

"Why the aggressivity my boy ?"

"Don't "my boy" me. Everything that went wrong in my life is your fault. YOUR FAULT. First, you fail to place a privacy charm at a job interview, then you leave me on my uncle doorsteps. You knew that she was jealous of magic. You knew I would be abused ! But you didn't care. So right now, I'm pissed at you. Professor McGonagall, when I came here i didn't expect to find him. I just wanted to ask you if you could research anything about having a phoenix as an animagus form.

"Let me do some research first, and then I will contact you again" answered McGonagall

Harry thanked her and then started to head back home. He almost was in the fireplace when he heard the grandfatherly voice of Albus Dumbledore calling him.

"Harry ! Harry ! Wait !" said Dumbledore

"What is it professor, what part didn't you understand in "I'm pissed at you" ?" asked Harry

"I would like you to transform and then to try and apparate to your place, I would like to know if you have inherited some phoenix powers at the same time, like phoenix apparition, for example, or it's healing power, you cannot imagine how sorry I am, I wanted you to live your life before dying".

Understanding the idea, Harry quickly transformed himself. Then, he tried to apparate. He didn't feel dizzy like he normally would have because of the wards but instead, his body temperature increased a lot. Flames began surrounding him and instead of seeing the headmistress's office, he saw his flat.

oO0OoO0OoO0o

It was a flabbergasted McGonagall that went back to work that day. His favorite student became an animagus, and he wasn't event a stag, like his father, but he was a phoenix, one of the rarest magical being in the world. Adding to that the possibility to apparate inside wards and McGonagall had a lot of questions unanswered.

She also had to bear the constant humming of Dumbledore looking in his books. It was one of his last wishes, to have a library painted inside his portrait. He already had read almost fifty books and made two rolls of parchment of notes concerning Phoenix abilities.

oO0OoO0OoO0OoO0Oo

Arriving at his home, Harry was discombobulated. Not sure if he was dreaming, he transformed back and then apparated to his bedroom. Glee filled inside him. He was going to play a prank to Ron and Hermione.

He looked at the clock and saw that it showed 5,02 PM. He knew that it was at that time that his two best friends were having tea at their house. He would be going to apparate there in the middle of the living room, rushing straight into hermione's face and then laugh at her facial expression.

oO0OoO0OoO0Oo

Ron was relaxing. A cup of tea in his hands and a lovely girlfriend in front of him. He couldn't quite understand his luck.

Hermione was stunning. Her bushy hair made her personality and he loved her for that.

He stood up and went to the bathroom. He was washing his hands when he heard a shriek. He came rushing in the living-room to see a very attractive Phoenix rush at Hermione while transforming in mid-air in a man with messy black hair, and pure emerald green eyes. He had a mischievous grin and a gleam in the eyes that matched the one his father had whenever he planned a prank.

"Hey guys" said Harry slowly "how much did you enjoy my animagus shape ?"

"HARRY JAMES POTTER" screamed Hermione "JUST WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING GIVING ME A HEART ATTACK LIKE THAT"

"Ehh, pranking you?" he replied with a cheeky smile.

"Way to go mate" said Ron, clapping Harry on his back, still laughing.

Hermione was breathing heavily, her right hand clutching over her heart. She had a murderous look on her face.

But when she saw Harry's grin, her anger flew away. The last time he was grinning like that was before their seventh year. So instead of shouting, she congratulated him.

"Well done Harry ! I knew you could do it but I didn't know that you could become a magical creature, even less a phoenix !"

"Why, thank you Hermione" said Harry pleasantly "I must admit that I am rather proud of myself, but I didn't come here to talk to you about that, I was just on a pranking streak, do you want to come with me in this adventure ?"

"Of course mate !" said Ron beaming

"Why not" said Hermione, even though she didn't look so sure about the idea.

oO0OoO0OoO0OoO0Oo

After scaring Neville, Dean, Hagrid, Ginny, the Weasleys and event Shacklebolt, and after laughing at each different reaction, Harry went back home.

It was at the moment he entered his bed that a cat patronus erupted in his bedroom.

"Harry" said McGonagall voice "come here quick, I think I might have found something of great importance".

Without thinking, Harry took off his pyjamas and put on his muggle shirts and jeans.

He apparated straight into the headmistress's office.

"Yes professor ? What can I do for you ?"

"I made some research about being a phoenix animagus, it looks like you're the first one" said a bemused McGonagall

Harry was having an internal fight between shock, surprise, pride and fear. Eventually, he came out of his trance and asked:

"Is it the news of great importance you told me earlier ?"

"Alas, no I'm afraid but I have come across a very old book that was dated at the founder's time that said that phoenix are known to travel through time, here's is the extract, I copied it for you."

It said :

Phoenix (also known phoĩnix ) are known to be travelling through time and space. They cannot be restricted by any anti apparition wards and rumor has it that the one phoenix has appeared at two different times in the past.

It appears that they can only travel one time without being able to come back at the time they left.

Whereas people who use time travelling devices (like time-turner for instances) are bound to let the present go on even if they can change it, it appears that phoenix have already altered time and changed it to prevent a horrible future from happening.

"So," said McGonagall " I have also made researches about animagus and one cannot have its animal longevity, so that means that you are not immortal, but I am want to test one last thing before I leave you to your thoughts.

She conjured a sharp knife and cut herself.

"I want you to cry over my wound, so that you can see if you can heal it"

Harry transformed shakingly into FireBird and landed on McGonagall forearm. He forced himself to recount every memory that has happened in the last years, his godfather's death, Dumbledore's death, Lupin the last marauder death with his wife Tonks and tears began pouring out of his bird eyes.

At the contact of them, the wound was visibly fading away and in no time it was an as good as new McGonagall that was standing before him.

If he could apparate, and heal wounds, that meant that he could also time-travel.
