"But that's something I don't get," Magnus responded as he finished setting up the large standing.
"If bonding a Phoenix is such a hard thing to do, why did you call Dumbledore a pathetic excuse of a wizard, wouldn't it take a powerful wizard to do such a thing?"
Erebus was silent for a moment but bobbed his head in agreement, 'It would yes, the wizard would have to have the power to constantly bombard the Phoenix with his will, to force the bonding to happen, doing so revelry weakens the Phoenix and we are drained of our strength in the battle....'
'....many wizards don't have the strength on their own to do this, that's why forced bondings are so rare, Dumbledore could never do such on his own, not with how strong he actually is.'
Magnus' eyes seemed to widen at the realisation of what Erebus meant, "The elder wand, that's how he did it, the strongest wand. It increased his power to the point that he could easily do something such as force a phoenix into a bonding."
'Yes young-wizard that is it' Erebus responded, 'it was only after his attaining that wand was Fawkes seen with Dumbledore because he had never the power before to force the bonding before he claimed the wand from the dark lord he defeated.'
"Grindelwald, the last owner of the elder wand before Dumbledore," Magnus stated as he started to put the pieces together.
Once again Erebus nodded his head, 'Yes, after defeating his so-called friend and claiming his wand the wizarding world was already singing his praises, his image only bolstered by his magic which was secretly enhanced by his new wand.'
'But when he was seen with Fawkes as his familiar it solidified it in people's minds that Albus Dumbledore was a true force for good in the world.... Like I said people are easily fooled by what they believe, and are easily manipulated by their beliefs.'
Magnus shook his head as everything fell into place, 'He tricked and manipulated all of them into believing that he was a force for good so that he could attain his own greater good…'
'....Funny that it's the same saying that his friend Grindelwald used to follow… you have to wonder just who's greater good he is trying to achieve.'
Erebus snorted again, 'That's a very good question perhaps one day you can ask him that to his face'
Magnus snorted in return with a smirk, "Perhaps one day I will, but for now let's get you out of that cage and get this bonding done." He said.
He walked over to the cage and opened it taking the beautify coloured owl out of its cage and over to the large stand placing it on its perch.
"Just out of curiosity, how do you know all of this?"
Erebus gave what could only be described as a smirk, 'We Phoenix have our ways, the tale of Fawkes is something all phoenixes know well, as it was one of the successful forced bonding's.'
'Why do you think phoenixes stay clear of Britain in general, none wish to take the chance of him forcing another bonding, the only reason I stayed is because I can hide myself, no other Phoenix wants to even risk it.'
Magnus nodded at that it made sense, "So how do we go about this bonding thing?" he asked curiously.
Erebus stretched his wings out glad to be free of its small cage and bristled its feathers, 'It's simple really, I just need to peck your hand and draw your blood, our magic will do the rest to bond us and then I can show you my true form.'
Magnus sighed and shook his head, "What is it with magic and blood, it seems like every day now I have to bleed to do anything," he stated in mock annoyance as he held out his hand to the bird.
Erebus snorted in his mind once more before his head bobbed forwards at Magnus's hand and his sharp beak nipped at the boy's finger with a quick nip that drew blood, Magnus gave a hiss and withdrew his hand seeing the blood and groaned, "It that it"
Erebus nodded his head before his whole body seemed to glow at the same time as Magnus felt a pressure on his head which made him wince, like the world's worst migraine compressed into a couple of seconds before it began to fade with the glow.
Magnus had shielded his eyes while gripping his head from the pain but when he looked at Erebus again his eyes widened at what he saw.
In the place of the different coloured barn owl that had been there moments before there was a phoenix that was at least twice the size of Fawkes.
Its colours matching that of its previous form, and it looked to be very healthy which made Magnus realise just how bad the effects of the forced bonding were on Fawkes if this was what he was meant to look like.
"You're gorgeous Erebus, so this is what you really look like?" Magnus stated looking at the magnificent creature.
Erebus nodded his head, his black eyes never leaving Magnus, 'It is, as you have no doubt guessed from my difference appearance to Fawkes we are not the same kinds of Phoenix, while he is a fire phoenix I am a dark fire phoenix, a distant cousin of Fawkes's as it were.'
Magnus nodded, "I did notice." He stated, "I take it now that we are bonded it means something more? And is it possible for you to return to your owl-form?"
