I don't own

With the phoenix name, I got a few recommendations but finally decided on something

'word'- is Harry talking to his phoenix( in his head, of course)

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

'….Raiden.' 'Uhh… how come I can hear your thoughts?' Harry asked a little nervously. 'Because im your familiar and that's how we communicate, if you want a better answer I suggest you kill yourself and go ask Merlin, he probably knows'

Raiden sounded irritated so Harry stopped himself from asking anymore pointless questions. Now that he had shut up Harry took a moment to actually look at Raiden. He was the exact shape of Fawkes but black, and he also had trims of silver feathers along the edge of his wings and neck. His beak was silver and had black lightning bolt shaped scars on either sides of it. There was also a silver lightning bolt going down Raiden's back. "Harry, do you see that lightning bolt going down the phoenix's back?" Ginny asked him. "Yeah why, oh and by the way, his name is Raiden."

"Ok, well there is a smaller replica of the lightning bolt on the palm of your left hand, and on your left shoulder blade." Ginny said slightly flushed. Harry wondered why for a minute, then he realized that he didn't have a shirt on. "Ginny how come I don't have a shirt on?" "Because when you passed out you started sweating a lot, so I didn't want you to wake up and be in a soaking shirt, so I took it off you." Ginny said while appearing very interested in whatever was on her foot.

"Oh yeah and, umm, you may want to look in a mirror, since you touched Raiden you, well just look in a mirror." Ginny shoved him over to the mirror in his room. What Harry saw in the mirror shocked and awed him. He didn't need glasses anymore but the more amazing part of that was that now in his eyes there appeared to be a small electrical storm going through his emerald eyes. His hair was now down to his shoulders and there was a streak of silver going through the middle of his raven hair. "Whoa, my eyes look, intimidating, I guess." Harry said looking at his eyes.

' Hey Raiden, what happened to me?'

'That's one of the things that happens when a lightning phoenix, such as myself, bonds to a human, but who cares you look a hell of a lot cooler now than you did before.'

"What did Raiden say?" Ginny asked him interested in what the, apparently very sarcastic, phoenix had to say. "He said he has no clue, but he thinks I look a lot cooler now." "Well you do, any ideas on how to use the lightning powers?" Ginny asked. 'Raiden, how do I use the new powers?'

'Hold on, let me just do the knowledge transfer and you should be good to go.'

'Wait what?! What do you mean knowledge transfer?'

'Well if I were to actually tell you how to use your powers, you would be sitting on your bed for a week trying to find your core, then actually using the abilities and stuff. Well basically, if I do it this way, it becomes instinct to you.'

'Oh, ok then. How come your always kinda sarcastic?

'Every thousand years a phoenix is born with the ability to be sarcastic, and its just too special an ability to waste, so yeah, you get the point.'

Harry snorted. "What's so funny?" Ginny asked confused. " Apparently, Raiden has the 'ability' to be sarcastic so he enjoys it quite a bit."

Suddenly the door to Harry's room burst open, and Vernon walked in, he took one look at Ginny and screamed at the top of his lungs "WHAT THE HELL IS SHE DOING HERE?! I WILL NOT HAVE A SLUT IN MY HOUSE! IF YOU THINK FOR ONE SECOND Thaa……" Vernon was cut off by a wand being pointed at his head. "If you say one more word against Ginny, I swear, I don't care if I get arrested I will remove your head from your body in a very painful manner." Even though Harry whispered this it was even more terrifying than any other thing Vernon had ever heard. He ran out the door as soon as Harry was done talking with his hands on his neck. As soon as he was out of hearing range Raiden flew from the bed and grabbed Harry's wand in his beak.

'What are you doing!' Harry demanded.

'Saving your face, don't ever use this wand again, because of the massive magical power inside of you due to my bond with you, if you attempt to use a wand, it will literally blow up, so, DON'T USE IT!!'

'Then how am I going to fight or use magic?'

'You don't need magic to fight anymore, just use lightning, much quicker. But if you insist on using magic, you would need to use a staff.'

'Where the hell would I get a staff?!'

'Voldemort probably has a few.'

'Oh, hey you never did the transfer did you.'

'Huh? Oh right, hold on.'

Harry suddenly felt a warm tingly feeling all over his body and he suddenly just knew exactly what to do to use his powers. Almost glowing with excitement he used his ability to travel by lightning to jump to the other side of his room. After he did that he sparked (as he decided to call the ability) next to Ginny, scaring the crap out her. "EEEK!" Ginny shrieked. "Oh, sorry Gin…ouch! What'd you do that for?" Harry asked rubbing his arm where Ginny had hit him. "You scared the crap out of me, you arse!"

"Whatever, well we should probably go find my daddy in-law so we can hear that other prophecy, and find a place to stay, Dumbledore will probably check to see if I'm here anyway." Ginny said. "Yeah, and I need to see if Voldemort has any staffs, apparently if I use my wand it'll blow up in my face." Ginny immediately turned scarlet red. "Did you have to word it like that?" Ginny asked him weakly. "Oh, sorry lets just go." Harry said, his face as red as Ginny's hair. He grabbed all their stuff and called Raiden over to him. 'Do you think you can spark us directly to Voldemorts location?'

'Probably.'

'Oh, great thanks… Wait, what do you mean probably?'

'Maybe.'

'Oh shit…'

A moment later Harry, Ginny, and Raiden disappeared in a flash of lightning. They reappeared in what appeared to be an old mansion, and apparently in the middle of a death eater meeting.

Cries of "Hey its Potter!" and "Kill them!" were heard but before any of the death eater could do anything Voldemort had gotten up from his throne and stepped in front of Harry and Ginny protectively.

"Stop! If any of you so much as point your wand at my son, I will give you a very painful death." Voldemort said with malice dripping off his voice. "Now all of you, you have your assignments, leave. Now." Voldemort turned to Harry and Ginny and moved as if he was about to say something, then he frowned and said "If anyone is behind me when I turn around, they will be my test subject for new torture methods. There was a rapid sound of apparitions and the room was empty. Voldemort looked at Harry and Ginny and said

"Welcome to Riddle Manor, your new home."

Ok I had several different suggestions for the name, but finally decided on Raiden cause it's a demigods/gods name for thunder and lightning

Ok! Next vote: Voldy needs a girlfriend/wife should I hook him up with Bellatrix (screw her husband) or bring Lily Potter back from the dead?
