Hazbin Hotel/Harry Potter : Ava goes to Hogwarts!!

The golden Egg

Harry couldn't help but be a little nervous as they climbed the steps to the Headmasters office. He didn't know what the older man wanted.

"Relax. We're not going to get in trouble. It's not like you broke any rules." Ava said she was sitting on Harry's shoulder once again with Orion in her arms.

Harry couldn't help but give a small smile. It was almost comforting. "Yeah. You're right. It'll be fine." He didn't know how or why the demon was able to calm him but she did.

"That's right." Ava said, giving a determined nod. She was never usually wrong about these things after all any adults that actually mattered tended to love her.

They soon reached the door.
"Professor Dumbledore." Harry called. "It's me, Harry."
"Enter."

Harry opened the door and walked in. Ava and Orion looked around curiously, the office was a large circular room full of rare and unusual magical artifacts. She could practically feel the power dripping from some of them. There were also portraits lining the walls that moved just like the others around the castle.

Ava couldn't help but gasp as a large bird stand came into view. It stood on its perch with gleaming feathers that reminded her of rubies and a yellow underbelly. Frankly the bird could be described as the color of a campfire. "Wow! It's a phoenix! Uncle Lucifer loves those. Well not as much as he loves ducks."

"What?" Harry questioned, turning his head towards her. He didn't expect her to have a sudden outburst.
"There's a phoenix."

"Yes. That's Fawkes. He's my companion." Dumbledore spoke, standing up from his desk, walking towards the children. Fawkes in response gave a musical thrall and preened.

"Oh wow. Can I pet him? Please." Ava begged, reaching out towards the phoenix. Harry could feel her jumping at the prospect of touching the bird, frankly it was impressive given her age. He's seen children with less manners and self control.

"Fawkes is his own creature, you can't make him do what he doesn't want." Harry sighed wincing as Ava clutched his hair.

Ava's face fell, ears flattening in disappointment. "Oh. Can I ask him?"

Dumbledore gave a chuckle, motioning towards the bird. "I think he would like that. Go ahead."

Ava quickly climbed down from Harry's shoulders. "Thank you."

Harry watched as she went and sat in front of the phoenix stand. Fawkes was a creature of light so he was a bit nervous about how the Phoenix would react to a demon.

"Hello Fawkes. My name is Ava. It's nice to meet you. I've never met a phoenix before." Ava spoke in a soft voice.

Fawkes gave a soft musical chirp in response tilting his head curiously.

"Oh! Um. This is my friend Orion."
Orion gave a bow, making Dumbledore and the other portraits chuckle at the cute display.
"Do you mind if we pet you? Or play with your feathers?"
Fawkes trilled and gave a nod.
"Okay. Thank you."

Ava reached out to the large bird and stroked the phoenix's soft feathers. She could hear him coo happily. Her tail wagging happily as she played with the bird giggling at the warmth the feathers brought.

Harry watched the exchange. He couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect Fawkes to react so well.

"Well. Isn't that just precious." One of the portraits spoke. Harry turned to see a large portrait of a very pretty woman. She looked like a witch from the renaissance era.

"Yes, yes. It's been quite some time since a demon has graced these halls."

"What?" This was a surprise; he didn't expect anyone to react positively about a demon being at the school. In the Muggle world demons were usually viewed more negatively, often being blamed for misfortune or as excuses to cause trouble. Then again wizards could often come off as odd, they didn't know how to work common household appliances, navigate through public transit, or handle any pounds.
