Chapter 2

Like what I did with my last story, I'm publishing the second chapter ASAP in order to draw you in so you want more. I hope you enjoy :D

Harry was in a large field, it's only landmark being a large tree, the rest was just grass, stretching for miles. He headed for the tree, interested in why it was the only one. As he got closer, he noticed someone sitting under the tree. Harry got excited and ran towards the tree, curious as to why they were both in this huge field. As Harry got closer, he realised it was Ginny. Ginny was here with him? He had to ask. She was sat against the tree, looking at her feet. Harry shouted her name. She looked up, smiled at him and stood up. Before he knew what he was doing, he had her in a warm hug. He looked into her eyes, and their lips met in a fiery passionate kiss...

"Mr. Potter, wake up!" A voice shouted.

Harry opened his eyes to find himself in the Hospital Wing, with his arms around Ginny and Madam Pomfrey fussing over them both. Ginny was still asleep, so it must have been Madam Pomfrey who woke him up.

"Here, drink this" she said "You need your energy due to this bonding" she handed him a goblet filled with a silvery potion. It tasted disgusting, but it filled him with energy.

"Can you wake up Ms. Weasley, or is it Ms. Potter?" Madam Pomfrey asked as she walked away.

"Umm... sure" Harry replied. He tried shaking her. She wouldn't budge. She was out for the count. Then he had an idea.

Ginny, Harry sent through her mind It's time to wake up!

The moment he sent that, she opened her eyes, yawned and stretched.

Why did you have to wake me? Ginny moaned I was having such a nice dream.

Harry smirked at her What was it about?

Ginny went scarlet Not telling.

Harry sighed and searched her mind using the connection, without her realising of course, and found that she dreamt exactly the same dream as he did, just from her perspective.

Ginny, I think you dreamt the same dream as me. Harry said nervously.

Really, did it have a field, and a tree and... she broke off, turning red again.

Umm...yeah it did Harry said, equally embarrassed.

Oh Ginny replied

Yes, Oh. Harry said.

So...did you enjoy it? Ginny asked innocently.

Enjoy what? Harry replied.

She punched him The dream silly!

Oh... Harry said Yes, it was very nice.

Really? Ginny said Would you like to try it again? She smirked and leant in, giving Harry a miniature heart attack. She sure was forward. Something told Harry that this bond strengthened her feelings.

Yep, you had better believe it!

And she could read his mind. Brilliant.

"Good morning!" Madam Pomfrey interrupted. "I'm going to need you to take this potion to keep your strength up Ms. Weasley, or is it Potter?"

"Um... I'd prefer Weasley for now thanks" Ginny said awkwardly. Harry understood why, it would be weird for her to be suddenly called something different.

"Ms. Weasley then, oh well, drink up!".

Harry could feel her disgust at drinking the potion, but he also felt her energy, and that filled him too. He was amazed by how much their bond shared.

"The headmaster wants to see you in his office, the password is Chocolate Frogs" Madam Pomfrey told them. "You will be discharged after the appointment, it's not quite the end of the school year yet"

"OK" Harry said. "Thank you very much."

They then proceeded to head out of the Hospital Wing, hand in hand, much to Harry's surprise.

What's wrong Potter? Ginny smirked Never held a girl's hand before.

Harry felt himself turn red again and Ginny laughed. She was loving this.

I most certainly am! She sent with glee I've wanted something like this since I was 11!

Harry sighed as they reached the Gargoyle.

"Chocolate Frogs" he said, and the Gargoyle jumped aside and they made their way up to the Headmaster's office, who was sitting behind his desk, waiting for them.

"Ah, Harry, Ginny, good to see you both." Dumbledore said warmly "I trust you are both well?"

"Yes, sir" they said together.

"Excellent, are you adjusting to the bond?" he asked.

Harry looked at Ginny, who was smirking at him.

"I would say so, yes sir" Harry replied.

"This is all good to hear. Now, there are a couple of things I need to talk with you both about. The majority of them concerning you, Ginny" Dumbledore said. "Please, have a seat".

Harry and Ginny obeyed, sitting down in adjacent chairs, with their hands on each others' legs.

"Right, because of the bond, You have access to all of Harry's memories, so it would be stupid to let you stay in your current year, so we are making you take your OWLS now, I believe you took the same subjects as Harry, did you not?"

Ginny blushed again "Yes, I did"

"Well, I will make sure the teachers supervise you while you take the relevant papers, I am sure you will be up to the task." Dumbledore smiled.

"Thank you sir" Ginny said, and Harry felt a surge of confidence from Ginny due to the compliment.

"Also, you have new quarters due to the changed sleeping arrangements. You will find them in the same tower as the Head Boy and Girl dormitories, on the east side of the castle on the second floor of the tower, usually reserved for guests. It has it's own bathroom and studying facilities. You will find your possessions have already been moved there. The password is soulbond Like I said before, I don't want you two spending too much time in an intimate relationship, this is a school after all, though some exploration with each other is expected. One more thing, are there any more experiences with the bond you would like to share with me?"

"Um...actually, yes sir there is something. It turns out we had the same dream yesterday, just from different points of view. Is that normal?" Harry asked.

"Yes, it is perfectly normal. Since you share feelings, emotions and thoughts, it comes as no surprise you share dreams. It may even be a common occurrence." Dumbledore replied, and they both smiled in relief.

"One more thing, does the soul bond enhance feelings?" Ginny asked

"Well, if those feelings are for your soul partner then yes. If the love is already there, then it grows stronger, along with any urges to do with that love. That's why most soul bonded couples end up being together and never hating each other.

"If that is all, then you must excuse me. You both have a couple of days from lessons and exams respectively, but then you will be working. Ginny, you should be done with your O. in a couple of days since it's only you taking your papers so we can be a bit more lenient."

"OK, thank you sir" Ginny said as they both made their way out of the office.

So, what do you want to do now? Harry asked mentally.

I really wanna check out our new dormitory Ginny said.

Alright then, lets do that Harry said and they made their way to the east side of the castle, again, hand in hand. They reached the tower and made their way to the second floor, arriving at a large wooden door.

"soulbond" Harry said and the door swung open. Harry and Ginny gasped. They could tell the room was reserved for guests as it was very plush, even compared to their comfy beds in Gryffindor tower. There were red and gold hangings all over the room and a huge queen size bed, also red and gold. There was a door in the middle of the room, which led to a bathroom at least the size of the Prefect's bathroom, with similar facilities. Harry sighed, he could be happy with this.

Me too Ginny sent mentally. Do you know what the time is?

Harry looked at his watch. It's about lunchtime, do you want to go down and show everyone we're OK? Then again, they will wonder where we go, and the explanations could be awkward. I forgot to ask Dumbledore about that. I know your parents and Sirius know, but I don't think I'm ready to tell your brothers. Maybe Hermione if she doesn't spread it around.

Lets go down anyway and tell people that we're in the hospital wing. Ginny suggested.

They might visit us and see we're not there. Plus we can just get food if we're in the Hospital Wing. Harry replied. Then inspiration struck.

"Dobby!" He called.

Instantly, the elf appeared in the room and smiled at Harry. "What is it you need Harry Potter?"

"Hello Dobby" Harry said warmly. "Could you get us some lunch?"

"Yes, of course sir! Anything for you sir!" Dobby disappeared and reappeared almost instantly with plates of sandwiches and pumpkin juice. Harry accepted them gratefully.

"Thanks so much Dobby, do you reckon you could bring us some dinner at around 5?"

"Of course, sir, just call if you need me" Dobby disappeared with a large crack.

Harry and Ginny grabbed sandwiches and were surprised at how hungry they were. Soon the plates were empty, and the jugs of pumpkin juice were too.

Man, I'm full Harry sent.

Me too Ginny replied.

I'm going to check out the new bath, you know, just to check it works Harry sent.

OK Captain Obvious Ginny mentally giggled.

Harry grinned at her, made his way to the bathroom and started running the bubble taps, filling the bath with multiple different types of foam.

He then began to undress, and suddenly felt a huge wave of embarrassment, and it wasn't from him.

Ginny! Get out of my mind! He mentally shouted.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Ginny giggled.

Harry rolled his eyes and finished undressing, making sure the bubbles were particularly thick before stepping into the bath. He wouldn't put it past Ginny to take sneak peeks without his knowledge.

Already done. Ginny giggled again and Harry flushed red from embarrassment, she had probably seen everything then.

You guessed right Harry, and I must say, Quidditch has done you a world of good.

Can't a guy get any privacy?

Not when the guy has been the subject of the girls' dreams for years.

Do you have any shame?

No, we're married now, so I'm making the most of this.

Surely if we were to get into a relationship, we should take it slow?

What's the point? We now know everything about each other at will, so there's no need to get to know each other. Anyway, does that mean you want a relationship?

No... I was just suggesting.

No you weren't! I can tell you're lying! I think someone likes me more than he cares to admit. Is it because of Ron? Is it because I have all those brothers?

Harry knew there was no point in lying any more.

No there isn't! So tell me!

Harry got out the bath and wrapped a towel around himself before answering.

You're right, I know how protective Ron is over you, and you have 5 other brothers on top of that, I felt threatened, so I beat the feelings down, passing them off as brotherly love, and I tried to keep away from you to stop them from growing. I think I defended you in the Department of Mysteries because subconsciously, I knew I liked you. So yes, I would like a relationship.

Harry heard a squeal from next door and the door suddenly opened, showing Ginny with a blazing look in her eye. She ran at him and kissed him full on. Harry could feel the passion, both from the bond and from the kiss itself. Her tongue begged for access, and he let her have it, with both tongues hungrily exploring both mouths. This was by far the best feeling Harry had ever experienced, pure content, and lust moulded together. In fact, it made him extremely excited, and he couldn't hold himself back. Ginny giggled at the feeling against her leg, which was even more embarrassing because all Harry was wearing was a towel. He let go of her a second, near waddled over to the bath and added a lot of cold water, and proceeded to get in, with the bubbles thankfully still covering himself. Ginny was cracking up laughing and Harry felt like he was on fire from being so embarrassed.

"I'll leave you to it Mr. Excited" Ginny giggled, forgetting to speak through the connection. All Harry could do was nod. She laughed once more and left, giving him a saucy wink.

Harry sighed and laid back in the bath. This bond could lead to an interesting relationship.

You got that right!

So, what do you think? I personally like the fact that Harry and Ginny's feelings accelerate. I wanted the real feelings out as soon as possible, mainly because the two can explore each others minds, so even with the feelings in the subconscious, they would have found them fast anyway. I'm glad for the reception of the first chapter, and hope this one is just as good.

Next up: The brothers reaction :P
