Hi. I'm debating whether or not to trash this story, seeing how HBP is out. Tell me what you think, ok? Thank you.

OK, PLEASE REVIEW. I APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH.

As they walked down the stairs, Harry seriously considered telling them what exactly had happened to him. His body was still the same as it had been when he had appeared in the Hall.

I forbid you, Salazar entered his mind. That was one thing about his newfound status that irked him; his predecessors had access to his thoughts and mind 24-7. But it could become handy.

They would not understand, Merlin concurred. Then he'd wait until they could. With an interal sigh, Harry looked into the kitchen and saw the Weasleys, Hermione, the Grangers, the Order, and...Susan Bones and Theodore Nott!

Arthur clapped him on the shoulder and said, "These two," and he gestured to Susan and Nott, "insisted on celebrating your birthday with a bang, and sent so many owls we had to use an empty room to store them all. The location is safe; they have no idea where they are, and Albus made sure You-Know-Who has no way to find out."

Harry deftly entered their minds and saw a glaring error in Albus's charmwork. He fixed it and extracted himself back to reality.

"Cut-the-cake! Cut-the-cake!" was chanted around the room. Harry made a mental note to talk to Susan and Theodore later as an unknown Order member steered him towards a gigantic cake, complete with a moving snitch baked into the middle. He appreciated the gesture.

After several slices of the everlasting cake, Harry was presented with a mountain of presents. He smiled at Ginny as she ran to it and handed him a wrapped object, jumping up and down. It wasn't very big; maybe the size of a banana.

He unwrapped it slowly, carefully, and saw something that almost made him cry; his own clock hand.

It left him speechless. He just stared at his raven-haired face smiling from it's imprinted stature. "Oi."

"We thought you'd like it!"

"I love it..."

The mountain of presents had reduced itself to three; one from Remus, and two big ones from Susan and Theodore. He opened Remus's present first.

Wicked! He'd always wondered what it'd be like to transform.

"Open mine, Harry!" Susan seemed so enthusiastic, it was scary. She handed him a huge present with... holes in the top...and he opened it. And inside was something he'd never thought he'd recieve.

A pheonix.

A beautiful, gorgeous pheonix.

His beautiful, gorgeous pheonix.

From Susan Bones.

Susan Bones! What!

"How did you get this! It-It's amazing!"

She smiled at him. "My family caught him a couple of years ago, but he never really liked us much. My aunt decided I should give it to you."

"What's his name?"

"He doesn't have one. We couldn't think of anyone worothy enough to name him, so he's nameless."

"This is...wicked...I-I can't accept this..."

I told you never to use that word again, Harrison.

Sorry, Sally.

"Yes, you can. I want you to. It's yours."

"Are you sure?"

Yes!"

"Really?"

"Yes! I mean it!"

"Alright..." And he smiled at her. Theodore shoved his present under Harry's nose. He grinned at the boy, saying politely, "Thank you!"

"No problem. After you open it, I want to ask you something."

"Sure."

And he opened it. And didn't expect it at all.
