... fireplace to be extinguished, the many objects that cluttered the space puffing away, but not a single person was there. Harry immediately turned to the corner, where he saw Fawkes sitting on his perch, watching them with intelligent eyes. He bit his lip, considering for half a moment. Theoretically, could he speak with Fawkes, since his second animagus form was a phoenix? Deciding that there was nothing to lose, he concentrated on his mental voice. Fawkes? Ginny looked at him, startled, but didn't say anything so that he could concentrate better. Fawkes' gaze snapped to him, and his head bobbed down slightly. Greetings, wing-brother. I see you have finally grown your feathers. I could sense we were brethren all those years ago, though you did not know it yet. Harry tilted his head to the side. It was strange, having a conversation with a phoenix. Fawkes was intelligent, he could sense the vastness of the bird's mind, and knew that he couldn't treat him like any other animal. Phoenixes had a will of their own, and wouldn't bow to anyone. Forgive me, I am not used to this, he started, but stopped when he heard something like a trilling laugh sound in his mind.

Harry shook his head to clear it of errant thoughts and focused on the task at hand. Fawkes, Hogwarts is in danger. We need to get in touch with Dumbledore, or Professor McGonagall. Do you know where they are? Fawkes trilled an affirmative. There was an attack in Diagon Alley, he replied. Albus and the Order responded. They will most likely be kept busy for quite some time. It is upon you, Master Gryffindor, to defend your home. Harry frowned, but nodded and turned to the others. "There was an attack at Diagon Alley," he informed Snape. "We're on our own." To his credit, Snape didn't ask how they knew or how they had managed to actually have a conversation with a phoenix. He just nodded and led them back downstairs. "What's your plan?" he asked instead. Harry immediately took out his DA coin, while Ginny pulled out her medallion that linked her to the rest of their group of friends. While Harry called the DA to the Great Hall, Ginny told the others what was going on, as well as where to meet them. As they walked, Harry quickly explained what ...
