A/N: Thanks to DukeBrymin and can-can on a cantaloupe for pointing out two mistakes I missed that why it said I updated, it was just the same chapter. Sorry it took so long, but reviews make me want to write faster. If anyone would like to be my Beta, let me know.

Explanations

Harry was currently laying in his bed trying to decide what to say to Ginny. He knew that he couldn't tell her everything, but owed her and explanation of why he hadn't seen for almost 10 weeks.

He had finally convinced Lyla and Cyrus to let him get out of the dreaded White Room after another 4 weeks in it after his setback. He thought he would never escape those bland walls.

Lyla was coming along good with her pregnancy; everybody was getting excited for the birth of the twins. Cyrus was a little nervous seeing as how he never handled anything that small, but he was reminded that he would have help.

Harry knew he had to tell Ginny the whole truth, he just didn't know how she would react to it. He hoped that she would accept it. He hoped that she would after everything they had gone through and all the times they talked. A couple weeks after meeting every day she admitted that she didn't have a crush on Ryan anymore, for which Harry was glad. She was completely truthful with him but could he be with her?

Harry knew he had to be completely true to her or else the bond would not be able to work. He remembered what the book had said.

A soul bond is a very complex piece of magic. It can only be put into place by two people who are truly meant to be. A soul bond does not just automatically take place, it must be worked at. There has to be no lies or secrets between the two before it can start to take place. When two souls are bonded, they become one. Meaning, they share the same thoughts, feeling, and memories. The most powerful bond is between two people that have complete and utter faith in each other.

Harry had also read up on Shadow Keepers and their soul bonds. Apparently they have the most powerful bonds. The person who bonds with a Shadow Keeper can also obtain their powers. Originally, it was said that Shadow Keepers and their bond partners were separated hundreds of years ago for fear that they were to powerful.

"Cyrus, I'm going to go see Ginny!" Harry screamed down the hall to Cyrus. He had told Cyrus about Ginny after Cyrus asked where Harry would go constantly. Harry had just told Cyrus that Ginny was a good friend, nothing about the soul mate part. Sometimes Cyrus could be more protective than Ginny's mother. He had never personally met her, but he heard from Ron and Ginny's stories that she was very protective.

Cyrus' head popped out of the doorway, "Ok Harry, see you later." With that Cyrus' head disappeared.

Harry transported himself over to The Burrow. He knew Ginny would probably not be out waiting for him, seeing as how he hadn't visited for a good 2 months.

So to say he was shocked when he saw a flurry of red hair rush toward him from the garden would be an understatement.

Harry had to take a step back to steady himself when he was incased in a bone crushing hug by Ginny.

"Harry! Where have you been? I've been so worried. I thought you forgot about me!" By the time Ginny was finished she was sobbing into his chest.

"Ginny!" Harry said shocked. "I would never forget you, never! Don't ever think that I would ever forget you, because I would never, understand?" He hadn't meant for it to come out so fiercely but he wanted her to understand.

She mumbled a "Mhm" into his chest and stepped back. Harry could swear that her eyes were on fire.

She looked at him for a second, brought her hand back, and slapped him in the face.

"Harry Cyrus Shade! Where have you been? I have been worried sick about you! You don't come around for 2 whole months and I never hear from you?" By the time Ginny had finished she had her hands on her hips.

"I, uh, I was hurt." Harry said not wanting to worry her. Somewhere in the back of his head, he heard the words, there has to be no lies or secrets between the two before a bond can start to take place. "I was walking in the forest by my house and I got attacked." He told her truthfully.

Ginny's hand dropped from her hip, "Oh, are you okay?" She asked nervously.

"Yea Gin, I'm fine. Although I won't be surprised if I have a bruise on my cheek tomorrow morning." He said chuckling. Ginny whispered an "I'm sorry." to him.

"Its fine, Gin." He said. He pulled her to the favorite spot to talk, down near the pond underneath the large oak tree.

The sat there for thirty minutes talking about little things they missed, well Harry missed seeing as he was cooped up in a room for 2 months. Harry knew that he had to tell her everything, so he steered the conversation to himself.

"So, Ginny, I think it's time to tell you some things about me, the real me. When I was five, me and my brother were at home with our babysitter. Voldemort," at this Ginny flinched, "came to our house and attacked us. I was transported somewhere else and my brother, Ryan Potter, was announced the Boy-Who-Lived. I know it sounds like I'm crazy Ginny, but you have to believe me."

"I do Harry, I knew there was something special about you Harry, but where did you go?" Ginny asked Harry with interest. Harry continued to tell her of the story of when he awoke in that clearing and the rest of his life.

"You have wings?" Ginny asked when he got to the end, her eyes sparkling with interest. To confirm her statement Harry stood up and his black and gold wings appeared. Harry grabbed her into a hug and shot off into the air, with Ginny screaming the whole time. He flew around with her in his arms for a good twenty minutes before he flew back down.

She continued to ask questions and he answered her. As he continued to tell her the truth he could feel an increasing pull towards her, it was there before, but not as strong.

"Ginny, there's something else you need to know," Harry continued carefully "There is a type of bond between us. What that means is that we are basically supposed to know each other. It just makes sure that we'll always be together." He could now feel the pull full force.

"I always wondered why I felt a pull towards you." She said more to herself than anything. Harry could feel a strange presence in the back of his head. He knew it wasn't from him from his years of Occlumency and Legilimency. "Hold on Gin, I was to try something." He told her.

He reached back in his mind and inspected the presence. He put a "hand" on it and he could feel it sort of melt with his. He had a flash of memories that he knew wasn't his and could feel another set of emotions other than his own. Ginny must of felt it too because before he even knew what happened, She fell forwards clutching her head.

Harry rushed over and helped her up. "Sorry, I should have warned you, and I don't have the best of memories." Harry felt bad for causing her even a slight amount of pain, but if he was right, the new set of emotions he could feel had no pain in them at all. Only wonder and curiosity were there.

"Does this mean that I'm like you now? Will I have wings too?" The last sentence she said was sort of rushed. To tell you the truth, Harry had no clue what he was doing when he inspected the presence in his mind. He had never thought that this would happen, so the thought to him made him curious also.

"Hmm, I don't know, let's find out. Ok, all you have to do is concentrate really hard about wings growing from your back." That sentence is what led to Ginny standing there perfectly still with her eyes screwed shut in concentration for 30 minutes while Harry sat down waiting.

Harry was about to tell Ginny that she should wait a little while when wings started appearing behind her. They were the exact opposite of Harry's wings. They were gold in color, with black tips on them. Ginny didn't seem to notice that she had succeeded and still had her eyes shut. "Gin?" Harry said questioningly. Ginny's eyes shot open and seemed to see her wings out of the corner of her eyes.

"It worked! Oh my god, Harry, their beautiful!" She screamed in delight. Harry had to agree, they were extremely beautiful. Harry walked over and gave her a bone crushing hug. "I'm so proud Gin. They're absolutely beautiful. Would you like to learn how to fly?" It seemed as if that much was obvious by the way Ginny looked at Harry. Harry spent the rest of the day till dinner teaching Ginny how to use her wings, away from the Burrow and village so nobody would see them.

Harry realized that all the flying he had done that day had made him hungry and Ginny seemed to be thinking the same thing. Harry saw Ginny land so Harry followed her. When he landed he looked questioningly at her as she ran off towards the Burrows. She came back within 15 minutes with a plate of sandwiches. "I figured you would be hungry so I brought these out, made them myself." Ginny said a little proudly. Harry couldn't argue as they were probably the best sandwiches he ever had.

I should probably never mention that to the House Elves. Harry thought to himself.

"Never mention what to the House Elves, Harry?" Ginny asked him confused.

Harry could have sworn he thought that, not said it. "What do you mean Gin?"

"You said, I should probably never mention that to the House Elves." She replied sending him a weird look. And I thought I was crazy, she thought.

A light bulb went on in his head and words from earlier popped in his head again. When two souls are bonded, they become one. Meaning, they share the same thoughts, feeling, and memories. Figuring he should try it out, Harry thought, Ginny?, trying to send the thought over to Ginny.

"Yea, Harry?" Ginny said.

"I didn't say anything."

"But I heard you?"

"I know, I thought it and you heard me."

"You mean?" Ginny said not needing to finish the rest of the sentence. "Yes, it would seem that we can talk to each other in our mind. Cool, isn't it?" Harry said confirming her theory.

"Cool? That's amazing!" Ginny said with a smile plastered on her face.

They had switched back and forth talking in their heads and out loud playing a game. By the time they were done they could tell the difference 100% of the time. They figured out they could also see through each other's eyes. It was a complete accident on Harry's part. He was just inspecting the presence in his mind when he was suddenly looking at himself.

By the time they were getting tired it was dark outside. They lay next to each other looking up at the stars. Harry felt Ginny shiver next to him and pulled her to closer to his side. She relaxed into his warmth. Ginny's eyes were slowly closing but she wanted to ask Harry something.

"Harry?" Ginny asked.

"Yea Gin?"

"Do you think that things will always be like this? This peacefulness and happiness between us" Ginny asked with worry in her voice.

"Forever."

"Forever?"

"Forever." Harry confirmed.
