2nd Fawkes/Hedwig pairing xD :D Please enjoy! Also be as brutally honest as you like :)

Fawkes looked out the window whilst perched on Dumbledores chair. Dumbledore went out this evening and Fawkes felt alone. He flew from one end to the other but still didn't manage to clear out the emptiness. Hedwig was perched next to Harry in his Dormatory and couldn't sleep, she decided to stretch out her wings and fly around Hogwarts.

"Oh god, why is it so... how would you put it?" She muttered to herself. "Eh.. can't be bothered working that part out" she laughed and took off out the window.

Fawkes felt bored and also decided to have a fly around Hogwarts. "It's good to stretch the old wings" he muttered before taking off. He flew with elegancy and grace he felt he could rival Buckbeak, his best friend. As he was flying he noticed a white dot flying twenty metres away. Hedwig could feel the wind in her feathers and looked around and found a swan sized red and orange phoenix staring at her. She could help but smile. Fawkes challenged a race and Hedwig accepted. They flew down to the boathouse and landed.

"Well, it's very bold of you to ask me." She boasted to him. "I'm the best flyer around Hogwarts, or so say the owls I race with"

"Is that so?" He asked, intrigued. "Well we will see about that!" he laughed.

Hedwig laughed with him and couldn't help noticing how muscular he was. Fawkes didn't realise how big he was compared to her. She looked so small and danty like, as if she was a candle in the wind. He shook the thought out of his head and focused on the race.

"I hope you don't mind" Hedwig quickly cut in his thoughts. "I got my boyfriend Buckbeak to be the judge on this, he will be flying alongside us and declare the winner at the end"

'oh, that's fi.. wait, he didn't tell me abo-"

"Oh, it hasn't been that long of a relationship, you know him?"

"Yep. He is my best mate"

Fawkes imediatley felt his heart sink. He didn't know what this feeling was, was it hurt? Love? Surprise?

"Well lets start this race before the sun decides to rise" Hedwig cried and called on Buckbeak. Buckbeak flew to the boathouse with grace. He landed alongside Fawkes.

"Hey mate, I guess you met Hedwig" Buckbeak said scratching his neck.

"Yup, congratulations!" Fawkes quickly cut him off putting on a fake smile.

Buckbeak laughed and got the race ready. He flew into the air and sarted the race. Both Fawkes and Hedwig shot up into the air. Hedwig swooped underneath Fawkes, distracting him and getting a headstart. Fawkes flew high into the air and almost tumbled Hedwig, distracting her. Fawkes smiled but crashed into the tower. Hedwig laughed and flew faster in front, beating Fawkes by a mile.

"You're a fast flier" Fawkes said to her catching up, losing his breath.

"Like I said, fastest flier in Hogwarts she laughed at him.

Fawkes and Hedwig were laughing and landed on the ground waiting for Buckbeak.

"Man you guys were fast!" Buckbeak laughed. "But I think Hedwig wins"

"Yeah we established that!" Hedwig laughed.

Fawkes realised it was almost morning and excused himself from Hedwig and Buckbeak, who were sharing a passionate kiss. He flew off as fast as his wings would let him and he took off. He got back to Dumbledores office on his perch before Dumbledore had arrived. While he was flying however, he couldn't get this while owl out of his head. He shook off his thoughts that were continually coming back and waited paciantly for Dumbledore to return.

So what did you think? Please R&R and how the story should go :)
