Inspired by Taure & Taliath Post-HBP, canon compliant. Fawkes visits Harry several hours before the Order come to retrieve him and gives him the greatest gift Albus Dumbledore had ever given him: fifty-two years' worth memories, knowledge and power to better help him combat Lord Voldemort and the forces of darkness. No bashing.

His past is mysterious, as is the scar on his forehead and the identity of his elusive mother, but Ellis is determined to discover the truth about Silas Black, even if it is something that everybody is quite keen on repressing.
