Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Actually, I own copies of the Harry Potter books, and some kickin' action figures. ^_~

Notes: This is a very unusual story. It has a surprise at the end. You've got to read without skipping to the end (I know I do that sometimes.) I promise you a delightful surprise. ^^

Parings: Harry and ?

"Misunderstandings"

By Jaden Maxwell

Harry Potter. He's been my dearest friend for four long years. I remember the first day that I met him. When I first looked into his emerald green eyes, it was love at first sight. Of course, I hadn't realized it back then, and neither did he. It was a silent connection.

Over the first few days of our companionship, I wasn't too sure that we'd get along well. Yes, Harry is quite kindhearted. There were times when I was snippy with him, and he was still showed care for me. It was amazing at first, no one had ever really been that nice to me before. It was going to take sometime to get used to. Later on, I realized that his wonderful kind nature would keep me by his side forever.

Harry always tells me that I'm a great listener. I do try my best to listen to him all the time, but it often seems that he doesn't listen to me. I try to tell him things, but it seems that he never understands. I know Harry is a smart boy, but I just can't gather the reasons for the misunderstanding that sometimes rifts between us. The one thing that I try to tell him the most is how much I love him, but he never appears to understand. Sure, he'll give me an affectionate touch or a genuine smile, but it just isn't the same.

Now, I sit here in this dimly lit tower, all alone. Not physically alone, I am surrounded by others. I'm alone inside. I've been getting depressed over the past few days, because I know something is wrong with Harry. He just hasn't made an effort to tell me. I would ask him, but he'd just give me that affectionate touch and genuine smile again.and I would know that he didn't understand.

I settled into a dark corner of the tower, to be more separated from the others. I didn't want their companionship. I wanted Harry's. I wanted Harry to love me like I love him. Even though I think he'll never understand my love, I'll never stray from him. I'll continue to do anything for Harry. Anything he asks, I'll try my best to come through for him.

While I sat and thought more about Harry, I heard footsteps coming toward my corner. Slowly, I opened my eyes to see who was coming. It was Harry! All my sad thoughts flushed away by the sight of him.

"Hello Hedwig." Harry said with a smile. He stroked my head gently and my heart melted. "Would you mind taking this to Sirius?"

I stuck my leg out excitedly and Harry tied the letter on. I nipped his finger lightly, again trying to let him know about my love. He didn't understand.or maybe he did.

There's always tomorrow. I outstretched my wings and flew out into the night sky.

The End

How'd you like that? Hehe, told you it was a surprise. A crazy one at that. This was bastardization of a literary character at it's best. But, I started reading Prisoner of Azkaban again last night, and Hedwig's sometime human-like personality struck me. Anyway, review please! ^^
