The Pheonix Girl (Marauders fanfic) COMPLETED

Prologue

I own nothing and no one apart from ' the pheonix girl.

Dumbledore P. O. V.

I saw as Cassy jumped in front of the killing curse.
The spell rebounded and hit the roof. The ceiling collapsed and something fell between me and Lord Voldermort. I knew he would get away.
All the death eaters were running away.
I ran over to Sirius and James. Her ashes were spread over the floor. I summoned a beautiful jar and put the ashes in it.
Sirius was sobbing on the floor.
Lily ran over and collapsed onto James, crying. Minerva was waking up Remus. He slowly walked over and found out what happened. James' face had screwed up in an attempt not to cry.
I looked at them and saw how close they had been to Cassy. They had risked their lives for hers.

When we got back to the castle, they were all sent to the hospital wing.
The next day, a short silence was held in the hall. A painting was put up in one if the secret passages that they had all discovered. It was of a girl with flaming read hair, standing, smiling at whoever walked past.
It was labeled: Carissa Candice Calandra.

Weeks later, I found myself staring at the beautiful jar of ash. The fire pattern around the edges jumped out at me and I suddenly realised that I might, or might not, ever see her again.

I sat down at my desk and took up a quil and parchment.
In case I never saw her again, if she didn't return in my time.

And I started to write my letter...
