Hello All! Today I have started a new fanfic! (#2) I wanted to try out writing a soul bond fic, because I have read, and enjoyed quite a few of them myself. I hope you enjoy this! Here's Chapter 1!
Chapter 1 - In the Beginning
In the beginning a baby girl was born. She had hair the colour of flames and many, many freckles. Just three seconds after she was born, this girl, Ginny, was incased in a golden light. And little known to her parents, and the doctors, who all watched in amazement at this, a small boy, by the name of Harry Potter, had woke up from his sleep, encased in a very similar golden hue, and began to giggle. His parents woke up as he crawled out of his crib, and walked into the room to see what was happening. As they were an accomplished pair of wizard and witch, they both knew what this was the moment that they saw it. A Soul Bond. They gasped, a Soul Bond had not been recorded in hundreds of years, especially in one who was only just a year old. They knew that their son was a very lucky boy.
Two months later, disaster struck in Godric's Hollow. Lily and James were killed, and Voldemort was vanquished. Unfortunately, Harry was sent, reluctantly, to the Dursleys at Number 4 Privet Drive.
When the Dursleys woke up to him crying on their doorstep, they read the letter on his basket, and with a pale face, Petunia toke the boy into the house. Over the next seven years, the Dursleys treated Harry horribly; they refused to give him anything other than the basic needs (and sometimes not even those), and they forced him to do every chore that he could possibly do, ever since he turned 5 years old. They made him cook for them starting on his 6th birthday (which he did not know existed), and he would be lucky to get anything other than bread and water. If he burn't the meal, he would be locked in his cupboard for days on end, depending on how badly he had burnt it.
Harry woke up early on his eighth birthday, although he didn't think that he even had a birthday, he thought that having a birthday was a privilege only given to good kids, as this was what Uncle Vernon had told him when he asked why he didn't have a birthday.
After Harry had cooked the Dursleys breakfast, he was sent outside to weed the garden. As he pulled up the weeds, he thought to himself, I wish that I had a friend… To his amazement, a voice replied to him, inside his head, Who are you? Why are you inside my head? Shocked to hear someone actually respond to him he said, or rather, thought, My name is Harry Potter, what's yours?
My name is Ginny, Ginny Weasley. Do you need a friend? I am am really lonely as well, my brothers are ignoring me and calling me a baby.
Yes! Harry replied, I would LOVE to be your friend, I've never had one before!
Wait, I have a question for you.
Yes?
Are you THE Harry Potter?
What do you mean, THE Harry Potter?
Are you the son of two people called Lily and James?
Yes, but they're dead…
I know… Who do you live with now?
My aunt, uncle, and cousin. They sent me out to weed the garden a few minutes ago. I also managed not to burn their breakfast, so I finally got to eat something!
Wait! You have to cook them breakfast every day?
Yes, but if I burn it, I don't get anything to eat for the rest of the day, nothing too bad.
They STARVE you if you mess up their breakfast?!
It's not that bad… I've gotten used to it… but wait, what did you mean, you knew that my parents were dead? How did you find out about the car crash?
What car crash? Your parents weren't killed in a car crash!
What do you mean? That's what the Dursleys told me…
They didn't die in a car crash they were killed!
Really?! By who?
V-Voldemort…
Who's Voldemort?
He's an evil wizard, he killed your parents, and then he tried to kill you.
Wait, so how did I not die? Am I a wizard too or something?
Yes, your'e a wizard! Did your Aunt and Uncle not tell you or something?
No, they didn't…
They sound like really mean people… I mean, seriously, It's your birthday today right? Why wouldn't they even do anything for you on your own birthday?
I have a birthday?!
Of course you do! Why wouldn't you?
The Dursleys said that only good kids get a birthday; but they said that I'm not a good kid, so I don't get one.
WHAT?! ,Ginny shouted out loud, and in their "mind link".
Ginny's mother heard this and came upstairs to see what was going on.
Oh no… Ginny thought.
What happened?
I think that I just shouted out loud… I can hear my mum coming up the stairs to my room…
You should probably close off this link, so that you can talk to your mum…
It was nice meeting you Harry, I'll talk to you in a little bit!
Bye Ginny!
After Harry felt the mind link close, he sighed. He had meanwhile finished weeding the garden, and he had to go inside and talk to his Uncle about what he had to do next for him.
When he came inside, he was turned right around by an angry Uncle Vernon, who shouted at him, "BOY! Go right back out there RIGHT NOW! You still haven't watered the flowers!"
"Yes, Uncle Vernon." He muttered.
"WHAT WAS THAT BOY?!"
"Yes Uncle Vernon." Harry said again, more loudly this time.
"THEN WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GO ON!"
As Harry was watering the Hydrangeas, he felt the mind link open again.
HARRY!
Hi Ginny!
Guess what I just found out?!
What is it?
You can come to my house, and finally eat something proper! Then we can meet in person! I told my mum what happened!
How would I get there though? It's not like I could fly or something…
I just thought of a way you could get here! You could use the Knight Bus!
How does that work?
You just stick out your wand hand, which is the same hand as the one that you write with!
I live at the Burrow, in Ottery Saint Catchpole, In Devon. Just as the bus driver to go there.
Ok, I'll try then.
Harry stepped up to the curb and stuck out his right arm.
A few seconds later the Knight Bus appeared out of thin air with a massive "BANG!"
