Harry awoke and with a jolt remembered his birthday and the dream last night. He sat up in his bed thinking about it until he remembered when they said they had each left a gift. Harry looked at his desk and saw them lying there he picked the first one up and red the note.

Hello again Harry
I know you found my sword in second year and with my permission it is yours to own now. In this package is the other piece to the set. Use it well.
Godric

Harry opened the parcel which was wieghing down on his arms and found it to be a large shield with encrusted gems, the gems were gold and red and the frame was smooth silver steel like that of Godrics sword. Harry smiled at this, now if he learned hand to hand combat he would at least have some defense with the shield.

The next present was very light and long like that of a brromstick but with out the end. Harry took this note and read.

Harry,
This should be of use to you, it will focus your powers far greater than that of your wand. Tap it three times with your wand and it will recognise your aura, only you will be able to use it not even the dark lord who claims to be my heir. Use it in two hands and just say the incantation, there is no need for motion like that of your wand.
Salazar

Harry opened the parcel and found what he supposed was a staff with an intricate serpent ingraved on the top. He brought out his wand, tapped it three times and began to feel power originate from the staff.

He laid it next to him and looked on, there were three other parcels there. He saw the one from Rowena and laughed to himself, he wondered if Hermione was related to her. On the bed there was a book and like before he picked the letter up.

Hello Harry
This is a book of ancient spells i have brought together for your use, only you and your closest friends will be able to manage the more difficult spells as they are also related to us five. You will need these friends when you go up against the dark lord but you will have to kill him because the scar brings him back with your energy.
Good luck,
Rowena

The next was what he supposed from Helga as it flew throught the window. It was a beautiful pheonix, Harry had always been keen on them. This was different from most of its kind, its colour was that of a royal blue and silver.He read the letter.

Harry
I hope you like this present, there are only three blue pheonixes in the world. You can speak to himwith the other gift i gave you (A/N:speech to animals if you dont remember) but you can also talk to her telepathically.
Talk to you later, Rowena.

The last package looked like a ball and Harry picked up the note.

Hello again my heir
This is very special ball only you can use. Put the chain round your neck to keep it safe. Touch the ball with one hand and say the place you want to go, it works agains anti apparation wards.
Merlin

Harry packed up all his stuff and put the chain round his neck, he had decided to call the pheonix Sapher and she was sitting on his shoulders. Grab the bell and clearly said 'The Burrow'.

A/N: does godric actually have a shield?
