Chapter 1: The Beginning of it all
[Harry's POV]
Harry Potter was sitting in the smallest bedroom of Number 4, Privet Drive. The 5th year in Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry was over and he had lost his Godfather in a ridiculous fight in the Department of Mysteries. Dumbledore had broken the prophecy to Harry at the end of the year.
"A little too late, if you ask me," Harry muttered. "Kill or get killed, lovely way to live a life. No, he doesn't even care to train me either."
Hedwig, who had been listening to Harry rant for the past 10 minutes, suddenly started hooting frantically. Harry jumped up from the bed and moved to Hedwig.
"What is it, girl?" he asked Hedwig. Hedwig was never this upset. She hooted again and flew over to the window. Harry looked out, and started violently. There were Death Eaters around the house, and waving their wands about madly. He recognized more than enough of them; Lucius Malfoy, Bellatrix Lestrange, Dolohov, Avery, and a couple of new ones.
"Thanks, girl. Now in your cage, we have to hurry." Hedwig didn't go to her cage, but perched on his shoulder, like a true familiar. He hadn't unpacked at all, since he got home, 3 days ago. He whipped out his wand, and shrunk his trunk, putting it in his pocket. The Dursley's weren't home; they had a dinner meeting with Vernon's boss. He pulled out his invisibility cloak, and put it on himself and Hedwig. He also placed a silencing charm on Hedwig and Himself to cover up any noises, and walked down to the kitchen. If, he was attacked the easiest escape was the back entrance to the house.
Suddenly there was a loud explosion that shook the house to its very foundations. Harry almost felt the wards coming down around him. Hedwig recognized the trouble and stared without blinking at the kitchen door. He heard Lucius bark out orders and Death eaters scattered around the house. Just his luck Lucius, himself, walked through the kitchen.
"I know you're here, Potter. Come out" he said, sneeringly.
Harry hid behind the kitchen counter and kept the tip of his wand of the Invisibility cloak. He cast a silencing charm, followed by a quick Stunning spell, and Malfoy soundlessly hit the floor. He levitated him and put him behind the table away from the view of those who entered the kitchen. Three Death Eaters who followed Malfoy suffered the same fate. Bellatrix and Dolohov came into the kitchen, cautiously.
Harry aimed for Dolohov first, and had him down in less than thirty seconds. Unfortunately, that also alerted Bellatrix to his position. Harry took his cloak off and sneered at Bellatrix.
"Potter," she growled. As her wand came up to fire her wand, Hedwig hooted loudly, and attacked Bellatrix with her talons. Harry took this moment of distraction to bring her down the same way as her Death Eaters pals.
"That was for Sirius," Harry sneered down at her. She bound them all together, and renewed the Stunning spell and added a body-bind, for precaution.
"Well done, Hedwig," Harry complemented his owl and she hooted as if to return it. "Now how are we getting out of here? I want to have a few months of freedom and the Order will track down, the Knight Bus, Floo Network and just about everything else." And suddenly as if a light bulb turned on, he brightened and called out "Fawkes." In a flash of flames, the Red-yellow Phoenix appeared in the kitchen. He looked at Harry and Hedwig for less than a minute, before sitting on the other shoulder and flashing them both away.
A/N- I know that this is short, but let me you if you like it and I'll continue!
