Phoenix Song

Hi! I just want to thank all of the people reading this especially the people reading this in Britain! I am American (no! do not leave!) and I love to use British slang (Ex- "snogging") in my writing and at school. (Imagine the looks I got when I accidentally let some of the slang I use in my head slip and told my friends that I had to go to the loo!)

This is my first fic and I am not a good speller so most of the time I have to depend on spell check to fix my spelling. So if you see a word that does not fit the sentence can you let me know? (Ex- My fried is joining us for dinner)

Ginny Weasley was sitting quietly in her room reading a romance novel when she heard a sharp tapping on the window. She quickly stood up and let the beautiful snowy owl in.

"Hello Hedwig. How is Harry?"

The owl answered her with a mournful hoot.

"I know" said Ginny, softly stroking Hedwig on the back "He gets a little rough when he suffers a loss. He was that way right after Sirius died"

Hedwig ruffled her feathers. It was only then that Ginny noticed the letter on the owl's leg.

What's this?

Ginny gently pulled the letter off of Hedwig's foot

Dear Ginny,

I hope that Hedwig has reached you ok. You see, I will not be able to care for her this year and I know that you will be able to care for her. You can use her if you like, but I already told her not to deliver any letters to me. Tell your mum not to worry 'bout Ron and don't try to send a letter to Herms' either.

I Know that right now you are probably fuming right now but I want you to know that I did not exclude you from the search ( Yes, I do know that Herms' told you every thing) I just don't want to put you in danger. When you get to Hogwarts I need you to break into Dumbledore's office and get me his picture off the wall. Ask him about everything he knows how he got the information and about the "things" we are searching for.

I want you to know that I will always love you and need you so never think that you are not wanted or needed.

Love, Harry

Confusing thoughts started buzzing in her head. What did this mean? Was he really going to search for the horcruxes? Did he mean love her as a sister or something more? The only thing she was sure about was the fact that her mum Would be furious with him and Ron, and maybe even Herms' too .

"Well…" she said looking over at Hedwig in the cage Ginny had transfigured from an old sock and saw that it still had a wool print on the bottom.

"I guess that it is only right for me to go along with the plan, but I feel as if I could do something more."

The owl cooed softly at her and stared at her with large, round, and unblinking eyes

A little while later Ginny got into bed after she swapped her yellow sundress for a pair of purple pajamas. Just before falling asleep Ginny thought I must be either crazy of amazingly lonely to be talking to an owl.

As Harry sat on his broom to leave in search of the horcruxes he thought of Ginny. What was she thinking of now? Was she sad because he basically took off without telling her first or was she angry because she could not go with them?

She would be good at helping us track down the horcruxes

Yeah, right, and it would put her in no danger and there would be no chance of her getting killed thought Harry sarcastically in response to the small voice that always brought out the worst in him.

She would also be GREAT to have next to you on those cold nights… said that perverted voice

"SHUT UP!' roared Harry

Oops, did I say that out loud?

Yep.

I know that this first chapter is really short and I apologize. I hope you like it, and if you can review! I need some suggestions (yep, you read right, I have NO idea where this story is going) and will try as best as I can to up date regularly.

Luv u all!
