Tonks shrugged, "I'll go fix the three of us some lunch then, then after we can make a start on cleaning yeah? Looks like there's a lot to do."
Magnus nodded, "Sure, Andromeda mind waiting till I get Erebus set up in my trunk before I join you, I'd rather explain my reasons to my grandmother, so she isn't screaming down the house."
Andromeda nodded, "Sure I don't mind. What room are you staying in?"
"Second floor, in the room that used to belong to my father," Magnus said and gestured towards the stairs.
Andromeda looked sad for a moment but nodded, "Alright then, come on," she said starting towards the stairs carrying the large stand that Magnus had bought for Erebus.
Magnus followed behind her holding Erebus's cage and she shrunken boxes with his clothes in his pocket, while Tonks headed for the kitchen area to start making them lunch.
Reaching Magnus's bedroom Andromeda opened the door and she was greeted with the familiar sight.
The room was now restored to its original size, three times the size that it had been when Magnus had first come in, the fireplace was further back and there was much more room to move.
Two large armchairs were placed on either side of the fireplace facing it their green upholstery looking worn with time.
The dresser was still against the wall which was now further away from the bed giving more room to walk.
"It's just how I remember it," Andromeda commented as she came in.
Magnus smirked, "I haven't changed much of it, I spent last night in my trunks bedroom, the bed is more spacious and comfortable in there," he said as he walked over to the trunk and opened its lid.
"I'll climb down, and you can pass me the stand when I'm in, would you mind waiting till I have Erebus set up on his stand?" he asked.
Andromeda nods, "I can do that," she said as she looked around the room with fond recollection.
Magnus nodded and started down his trunk with Erebus's cage in hand, getting down he was passed the large stand as well and carried both it and Erebus down the corridor of the trunk.
"Alright, where do you think I should set you up, my library and office or maybe out in the living room?" Magnus asked allowed knowing that Erebus could understand him.
'Your office works fine, and we still have matters to discuss, and our bonding to go through,' Erebus responded in his head.
"Yeah, you mentioned something like that back in the alley, what's your deal anyway, what's with this bonding?" Magnus asked as he opened the door to his office and walked in.
'It is what must happen with every wizard when they are the chosen one to be bonded with a Phoenix.'
Magnus stopped in his tracks when he heard that and looked down at the cage in shock, "Y-You're a phoenix, like Fawkes," he asked in shock.
Erebus bristles his feathers at the comment, 'Don't compare me to that poor excuse for a phoenix, Fawkes is only a shadow of what a true phoenix is meant to be like, his powers, size and capabilities have greatly demised since he was forcibly bonded to that wizard of his.'
Magnus was taken back by the comment as his mind raced to put together what that meant and his eyes widened, "Dumbledore forcibly bonded Fawkes to him? But why would he do that?"
Erebus snorted in Magnus's mind as if amused by the question, 'Simple, because people are easily fooled by what they believe, and are easily manipulated by their beliefs, such as the belief that we phoenixes will only bond with those who are forces of good.'
'Because we ourselves are the embodiment of light, when the reality couldn't be farther from the true, as we phoenixes are like magic itself, neither good nor evil, we just are.'
'As for our choices in out bonded, we can feel when someone has a great destiny in front of them and we choose to bond to them in order to go with them through that destiny, it doesn't matter to us if that destiny is to be the world's saviour or its destroyer.'
'we choose who are bonded are because we feel their destiny is worthy of us to be a part of it, just like I sense of you.'
'Fawkes would have never willingly bonded with a pathetic excuse of a wizard such as he is now, what Phoenix would judge that man's destiny to be worthy of their partaking in it.'
Magnus didn't know what to say to that, but one thing was clear to him now, Dumbledore was definitely not as he seemed to be.
He had already suspected the man, but if this was true then it just confirmed it for him without a doubt.
"Why do you look like an owl if you're really a phoenix then?" Magnus asked.
Erebus bristled his feathers again, 'Like I said before we Phoenix are thought to be the embodiment of light, and so expected to bond with wizards who are light."
"We are hounded by various wizards wanting to try and persuade us to bond with them, some even try to force a phoenix into bonding like that Dumbledore did to Fawkes.'
'Which would have been no small feat, it gets annoying after so long, and after the last fool tried to force me into a bonding and failed I was able to convince his student to place a spell on me that would allow me to hide my true form so that I would not be bothered by fools who would attempt such again.'
Magnus listened as he set up the stand for Erebus and raised it to its full heights and screwed its top on placing the metal dish below it meant for food, but Magnus realised it would more than likely be used for Erebus's ashes on his burning days.
