2) Only He understood.

Harry sat on his bed. He could feel the tears building up within him but couldn't stop them. He couldn't believe that he was writing to his enemy- and that he was pleased he was. They after all did share many things. The phoenix sat next to Hedwig and looked around importantly. At first Harry was worried that Hedwig might object- but she had seemed pleased at having a friend. He smiled through his tears, he would reply to Tom and then write to Moony.

Dear Tom, I was sorry to hear about your death eaters. I know they re important to you. And yes you were wrong to try and get the prophecy. You should have just asked me in a letter. I would have told you and I wouldn't be feeling like this right now would I? It doesn't matter though. I'm glad you punished Belatrix, but I will still be doing it myself when I meet her next. Don't forget your promise. And thank you for Lightning he's gorgeous. But why did you send him to me? You still haven't answered that one. Harry

He sealed it and then grabbed another piece of parchment.

Dear Moony and Order Members. Just so you find out from me and not Snape- I have spoken to Tom in a letter- in fact he gave me an early birthday present. He gave me the gorgeous Phoenix you see here. He is called Lightning. He will wait for your reply and then he will come back to me. It's good you know- having someone that genuinely cares about you and tells you what he is thinking instead of ignoring you for a year. He was really pissed the other day though. He let me watch as he cursed Belatrix. She doesn't look too good now though. He hadn't meant for her to do that, because he knew how much I cared about him. He knows now that I don't have anyone else. I hope that my friends are OK. Could you tell them that I am extremely busy at the moment and that is why I haven't written to them. Harry

Harry smiled and then called over his two birds. 'Hedwig- would you like to take this to Tom? Or would you like to have a day off- I know you were tired after the journey yesterday.' He said gently, she hooted slightly and proceeded to put her head under her wing. 'OK then. Lightening- could you take this to Moony- and wait for a reply and then take this to Tom for me? You can wait for a reply there too.' He added. 'Of course Master of the Phoenix. That is fine. Be safe whilst I am gone.' He added as he spread his wings and flew out of the window. Harry smiled, he had to find out how he was Master of the Phoenix. Harry sat back down on his bed and began to think. Tom wasn't really a bad guy if he thought about it. He just wanted power- and would do anything to get it. Just as Harry would do anything to save his friends and be normal and not strong and un- normal. He looked at the photo on his bedside table. It was him, Moony and Sirius and Harry felt his heart go tight every time he looked at it. They were right in a way- it wasn't all his fault. But that still meant it was partly his. And with this unhappy thought he drifted off to sleep again pleased that Tom had told him he wouldn't invade his dreams.

Byproduct of evil- pleased to oblige. Should I continue? I didn't realize the chapter was so short- it had seemed really long!!
