Lost Sister, Found Uncle

Chapter 15: The New Headmaster

It was the last class of the day and it was potions for Harry and Draco and any anyone else taking sixth year potions. Professor Snape had spent the first half hour of the class talking about the potion they would be making in the last half of the class.

The Professor had just tapped the chalkboard and the potion recipe appeared on the board. Just as everyone started to get up to go get their ingredients, the classroom door opened and Lucius walked in with Fawkes on his shoulder.

“I apologize for disturbing your class, Professor Snape. Would I be able to talk to my nephew for a few minutes?” Lucius said.

“Of course. Would you like to use my office?” Severus asked.

“I would appreciate it.” Lucius said.

Severus walked over to the door to his office on the right side of the classroom and unlocked the door. Lucius walked in with Harry following closely behind him.

“Get back to work! You have a potion to make.” Severus said to the class that had stopped what they were doing and watched what was going on instead of going on to make their potion.

Harry walked into Severus’ office behind his uncle, but failed to notice that the door had not closed all the way.

“Harry, can you get Fawkes to leave me alone. Ever since you went back to class he hasn’t left me alone. He won’t move off of my shoulder.” Lucius said.

“Hey, Fawkes, what is going on?” Harry asked.

Fawkes sang a few notes. The last few sounding sad.

“Oh, I understand, Fawkes.” Harry said to the phoenix.

Harry then looked at his uncle. “Fawkes said that he has tried to tell you why he was with you, but you wouldn’t listen to him.”

“He did sing a few times, but all I heard was his song.” Lucius said.

Harry nodded. “Fawkes, please try again.”

Fawkes then sang again.

“Hogwarts has chosen you, Light One, as the new Headmaster.”

Lucius gasped and looked at the phoenix on his shoulder. “Is that why you won’t leave me?”

“Yes, Light One. You are a good one. Better than the Old Man. He hurt Green Eyes so many times. Hogwarts, she knows what Old Man has done to you. She knows you will be a good Headmaster. You will protect the students from The Dark One.” Fawkes sang.

“Alright, Fawkes, I will do the best I can.” Lucius said.

Harry smiled. “I never thought this would happen.”

Lucius chuckled. “Neither did I. But I will do everything I can do for this school and its students.”

When Harry and Lucius walked out of Severus’ office and back into the potions classroom, they realized that the whole class had heard their conversation. Lucius sighed.

“I better not hear that what you have all heard get out before I have wanted. It will be announced this evening at dinner.” Lucius said. “I will let you get back to your work.”

Lucius then left with Fawkes still on his shoulder. Harry sat down and started to make his potion.

“You heard him, get back to work! If I hear anyone talk about what was heard, you will have detention with me for a month.” Severus said.

Everyone in the class knew that their Potions Master meant it and they knew not to anger their professor.

“Oh, no.” Draco whispered to Harry.

“What?” Harry asked.

“My Father is the new Headmaster.” Draco said. “I won’t be able to get away with anything anymore.”

Harry laughed. He found it very amusing that Draco didn’t say anything about Lucius being in the school all the time and just worried about not being able to get away with the things he had before.
