Third Pov:

When Harry wakes up he is in a new strange place that he was not expecting. Harry knew he had been hit by the killing curse so he half expected to be standing before his late parents maybe even his grandparents right now but instead, Harry was dressed in all light grey and stood in what looked like a forest. He feels a pull from deep within the forest in front of him. Harry walks forward following the pull. After what seems like a few minutes he comes across a small clearing with a large tree that looks old and white. At the trunk of the tree, there was a whole that looked like a deform-looking baby of what Harry knew had to be Voldemort since its face was similar to what he saw last year on the back of Quirrell's head last year. The deformed baby Voldemort slowly fades away into nothing. When the parasite was gone Harry brought his attention back to the tree. Harry was confused he felt a pull from the tree as though it was drawing him in. Before Harry can get closer to the tree he looks around on edge feeling as though he is being watched he turns to his right and calls out.

Harry-"Who there show your self"

A figure steps out but sticks to the shadows which makes it so Harry can't clearly see them only make out a figure. From the figure he could tell it was male because of the shape of his body.

?-*whispers in a smooth deep voice*"It is not yet your time master you will not die here today."

Harry-"Who are you? Why do you call me master?"

?-*whispers in smooth deep voice*"Now is not the time as it to early for you to know you will know who I am in all do time. We will meet again young master it is time for you to return to your world and return to them. Remember master you are not alone there are those around you who care and you can rely on soon you will meet more who will care and love you. You will have a family like you always wanted just be patient. Survive and fight to live a long life with your future friends and family. We all will wait for you patiently to come to us young master. When it is truly your time and you are truly ready to die then you can welcome death with open arms but until then fight on and remember when the forces of death come but it is not yet your time remember these words that many before have lived by some of your ancestors included, Not Today. Your parents, grandparents, ancestors and I will wait patiently for when it is truly your time. Know I will always be watching you master so are your parents, grandparents, and ancestors do not worry they are proud of the man you are going to become. Goodbye, young master return to the world of the living where all your future friends and family that you know and don't know of yet are right now."

At that moment the world once again fades around him and the figure fades back into the shadows. Harry reaches out and opens his mouth to shout at the being to wait as he has so many questions he wants to ask him. However, like when he had tried to scream out in pain back in the chamber again nothing came out. The world was once again black before he started seeing a light. Heading to the light which felt so far and after what seemed like a long time he finally made it bright light surround him and Harry shot up from the floor he pants and winced in pain. It takes a few seconds but his eyes once again focus and he looks to see he is back in the chamber again. He winces in pain slowly getting up. Harry felt really drained from all the stuff he did he would not be surprised if he was suffering from magic exhaustion. Harry knew he had to get Ginny out of this place as well as have both her and him check out by Pomfrey. Harry got up slowly then began limping over grabbing both Ginny's and his wand that were on the ground. After picking them up he limped back to Ginny and gave her her wand back. As he limps back he picks up the sorting hat and puts it on his head. Harry then makes his way back to Ginny hands over her wand and the diary asking her to carry it. After that, Harry picks up the Sword of Gryffindor from the floor holding it in his left hand while holding his own wand in his right he calls for Fawkes who flies over landing on his shoulder. After Fawkes was on his shoulder Harry put his hand on Ginny's shoulder and Fawkes flames port them out of the chamber into the girl's bathroom next to the sink entrance which was now closed. Now back from the chamber Myrtle came out and welcomed them back.

Harry told her that the basilisk was dead and the one who was controlling it had been stopped. Myrtle thanked Harry and he just nodded to her before bidding her goodbye as he had to head to the hospital wing. With a farewell, Harry then starts limping out of the bathroom with Ginny following behind trying to offer him help which he refuses. It was clear to Harry that he had been down in the chamber all night because it was now morning and students could be seen out in the halls heading to breakfast. They were shocked when they saw the badly beaten up Harry carrying the blood-covered sword in one hand, his wand in the other hand, his robes looking tattered covered in dry blood, venom, and dirt, the sorting hat on his head, and a phoenix on his shoulder. He looked intimidating like a warrior just come back from war. Many students whispered as they walked by or in Harry's case limped by. Each student had different looks on their faces as they stared, all the girls he passed by both older, younger, and in his grade, all looked at him with blushes on their faces. They either looked at Harry in awe, confusion, worry, fear, curiosity, shock, or lust. While the boys they passed from all ages all looked at him with either fear, awe, shock, confusion, lust, or sneers. Harry says nothing ignoring them all since he just wanted to get to the hospital wing. It took some time to get to the hospital wing since Harry was limping and still a bit sluggish but it didn't take as long since people seemed to be parting like the Red Sea for him. When he got to the hospital wing the doors flung open no doubt with the help of Hogwarts which Harry was informed he was right by the sorting hat. When the doors opened Harry saw that Madam Pomfrey looked at him not at all pleased but then her eyes widened in shock seeing Harry and Ginny.

Harry-"Sorry to intrude but I thought we should come to you for a check up Ma'am. Also, you can tell everyone not to worry the beast is dead."

At that moment Harry's world once again goes black as he falls to the ground face-first. He hears Pomfrey gasp and Ginny shout his name though they sound as if they were shouting at him above water while he was under. Harry let the darkness take over him once more as he was too exhausted to fight it. Harry fell unconscious but he could only hope that he was up before Hermione was as he wanted to be there when she was and wanted to be the first one she saw. When Harry fell unconscious Fawkes flew from his shoulder and grabbed the back of his cloak flying Harry over to an empty bed that was between a wall and the bed that Hermione occupied knowing how the boy loved the girl and knowing that if he had not done it Dumbledore would have made it so that Harry was next to Ms.Weasley's bed instead which would far away from Hermione. Fawkes didn't like the youngest and only daughter of the Weasley clan he could tell she did not have a pure soul, unlike Ms.Granger who Fawkes did in fact like. Fawkes knows that Dumbledore has been planning to have Harry fall in love with the young Weasley girl and he knows nearly all the plans to control the young Potter heir.

For years Fawkes has wanted to leave the manipulative old goat but has been unable to because he was forced to bond with him and each time he goes through a burning day the old bastard re-equips the forced bond so he can't leave. However, just because he can't leave does not mean he can't foil as many of the old fools' plans as he can. When Fawkes sets the boy on the bed he perches himself on the headboard as if standing guard. Madam Pomfrey and Ginny were shocked by the bird's actions but Pomfrey was first to break from her shock as she directed Ginny to an empty bed which was on the other side of the hospital wing from both Hermione and Harry. She got to work on checking over Harry running a diagnostics test finding out that he was mostly okay just suffering magical exhaustion. After that Pomfrey calls for any free male house elf asking the one that shows up to change Harry into some new clothes but to also clean the boy up before changing him. She then draws curtains and spells them so they can't be opened before heading to Ginny and giving her a check-up. The sorting hat told the house elf to be careful when cleaning Harry up and told him to be sure to burn Harry's clothes as they had ancient basilisk blood and venom on them. The elf did as told by the sorting hat. When the house elf finished changing Harry he redrew the curtains to show Harry was now fully dressed. After that, the house elf set Harry's glasses on a nightstand and poofed away with the clothes, sponge, and bucket of water to dispose of them so no one could be harmed by whatever had touched any basilisk venom or basilisk blood.
