Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or Shin Kidousenki Gundam Wing. If I did, well...you get the point of why I wrote this in the first place, right? Okay, I actually only really wrote this cause I wanted a 1x2 fic...lolz.

Memories of the Past

by Hikaru

'Why...Why'd you leave...? I thought you were invincible and all...' a bitter voice said brokenly. 'You were supposed to be the Perfect Soldier...perfect soldiers don't die...' a sob was heard as the voice faded away. 'Why?'

A black haired boy shot up from his bed as the dream faded away. The voice continued to echo in his head however. He turned to look at the time and found that it was just past midnight so that it was just July 31st. A light tapping was heard towards the window. He put on his glasses and went over to open the window for the owls to get in. 5 owls arrived and landed in various places around the room. His own owl, Hedwig, brought him a present from Hermoine, one of his best friends. He tore open the package and smiled at what she had given him for his birthday.

As usual, it was another book, this time on muggle religions. The letter attached read:

Dear Harry,

Hope you actually read the book this time. It's actually quite interesting really. And no, its not because I think every book is interesting...

At this, he paused and chuckled.

It was recommended by my parents and the bookstore manager. Have a Happy Birthday!

Sincerely,

Hermoine

Harry set the book aside for later and headed over to Pig, who was fluttering around restlessly, untied the package attached to its leg and let it back outside. He opened the letter first this time.

Hey mate!

How's it goin'? Not sure if the muggles are treating you right or not, so I decided to send you a few packages of sweets this time around. Mum made sure there were a few cakes added in too. The box is spelled so that you can put a lot of things into it without it ever really filling up. Happy Birthday!

Your friend,

Ron

Harry then opened the package to find, sure enough, a box. It seemed plain and small on the outside, but when he opened it, he found all sorts of foods and sweets, including: Bernie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, Chocolate Frogs, Pumpkin Pastries, the Chocolate, Strawberry, and Lemon cakes that Mrs. Weasley baked for him, some bottles of water? Harry shook his head at the last item.

Then he moved on to the next package, the one from either Hagrid or Dumbledore judging from the fact that it was a school owl. After taking out the package however, he guessed it was from Hagrid because it felt like he had included rock cakes as part of his present this year. This letter read:

Happy Birthday Harry!

I think this might be useful for the upcoming school year, so enjoy!

Hagrid

Harry was confused for a while before deciding to see what it was that was so important. He opened up the package to find...a couple of feathers? He didn't get the point of them, but they were quite nice actually. there was a pitch black one and a pure white one. They seemed so out of place next to each other, but at the same time right. He shrugged off the feeling and went to open the letter from Dumbledore and the one with all the school supplies.

Dear Harry,

Happy Birthday! I assume that have already received Hagrid's gift. Please take care of those feathers well. Its been passed down through his family's generations and has been practically almost an heirloom. It has been given to you because they have been calling out to their owners recently. There was only a legend concerning them, saying that they come from a seraphim angel and a high ranking demon, but they will protect whoever it is that possesses them if the person is truly pure-hearted. Please keep them on you at all times. I think they will serve you well in the upcoming days. Here is my own addition to your collection, a feather from Fawkes himself. Please take care of it.

Albus Dumbledore

A red feather slipped out from under the letter as he finished reading it. Harry picked it up and placed it with the other ones deciding that he should probably place them at the bottom of his trunk until the beginning of the school year. He left the school letter unopened because he knew that the materials were most likely the same as last year. Pretty predictable really.

Then he moved on the last package: the one from Sirius. The quickly read through the letter first before tearing open the present.

He had received a photo album from Sirius.

Dear Harry,

Happy Birthday! I hope you like this one...and I think we'll see each other sooner than you think really.

Sirius

Harry blinked. 'See each other sooner than I think?' He groaned. 'Don't tell me he's going to sneak onto Hogwarts grounds! or stay in the Shrieking Shack again...'

He laid down on his bed and flipped through the photo album slowly, carefully looking at each picture, until he fell asleep.

How was that? This is the first type of any kind of Harry Potter fic I've tried, and I'm not very good at it cause I can't remember all the facts, so if anyone wants to help me by telling me if I have any name wrong or if anyone can type up the supplies/materials list from the 4th book, I'd appreciate it! I just need the format for the stuff really...Please Read and Review!
