Albus dreamt of a time long ago, he was a teenager in his final year at Hogwarts, and his father Harry, Headmaster of the school, had summoned him to speak about Lily. They were in the headmaster's office, the same room that he was currently asleep in, though much smaller without the enchantment. A red phoenix was nestled in a gold birdcage in the corner of the untidy office. The dreaming Albus watched it lick its feathers laconically. As he dreamt, he was able to watch the memory back, but as an outside observer seeing his younger self sitting opposite his father. He was handsome back then before the potion had disfigured his skin and turned him into a demon.
