Disclaimer: JKR sold me Harry Potter. Then I woke up.

In Remembrance of Hedwig

"Oh c'mon!" Harry shouted towards his older self. "Hedwig too?"

Harry's actual first friend

"Your owl was your first friend Potter?" Malfoy asked with a sneer that made his godfather proud (not that he showed it).

Harry snorted. "Of curse she was. The Durselys did not allow me having friends. Remus is higher in the toads view than I'm in theirs. Or muggleborns in the view of Death Eaters. Or Jews in Nazi's."

Everyone who cared about Harry started to scream at Dumbledore.

Snape and the Slytherins looked deep in thought. So Potter might not be spoiled. That changed things.

"What are Nazis?" Steward Ackerly, a Ravenclaw in Dennis' year, asked.

The muggle born and raised, as well as Teddy, James, Amelia Bones, Moody, the Tonkses, Remus, the Greengrass sisters, Susan Bones, and Hannah Abbott, stared at them incredulously.

"Seriously?" Sue Li deadpanned.

"The incompetence of Binns is proven another time," Logan yelled. "Just think of it as some sort of Muggle Death Eaters for now and look it up later and hope someone finally exorcises Binns and you get a competent – or even competent-ish teacher."

who lived and died soaring

Harry cried, blaming himself for Hedwig's death.

The owl flew to him and hooted as in a way to show she did not blame him. She was a very smart owl.

Logan started the memory without another word.

We see a battle in the sky.

Hagrid and Harry who are sitting in a flying motorcycle ("Hey, that's mine!") are trying to flee from Death Eaters, recognizable due to their masks.

There are green curses flying through the air.

Suddenly Hagrid yelled and turned the motorcycle upside down.

Harry was clinging to the sidecar when Hedwig's cage, the Firebolt, and his rucksack fell down.

"No—HEDWIG!"

Harry managed to grab the strap of his rucksack and the top of the cage as the motorbike swung the right way up again, but the Firebolt was lost.

The Boy-Who-Lived looked relieved for barely a second when Hedwig was hit with a green burst of light. With a last screech, the owl fell to the floor of the cage.

"No—NO!"

The hooded Death Eaters broke their circle when the motorcycle gained speed, zooming forward.

"Hedwig—Hedwig—"

But the owl was still motionless on the floor of the cage.

"You know you could have saved her with a sticking charm?" Daphne Greengrass asked.

"Now I know," Harry smiled. "Thank you... Daphne?"

Everyone looked stunned by the fact that a Gryffindor just thanked a Slytherin.

"You're welcome," the Ice Queen of Slytherin gave a rare smile.

Review please! Even if you are reading this in, like, 2020 or something.
