A/N: Ginny already acts strange around Harry, so it won't really make a difference.
PS: "The Glow" is made of members of the Order, but only the best friends of James and Lily. And they were the ones that knew about Selene.
Last chapter:
When Mrs Weasley and Ginny entered the room, a scared squeak startled me out of my sleep, and I could've screamed when I realized why was the girl scared: I was floating about one and a half meters above the ground in the middle of the room, with my long, silver blue hair wrapped around me. When I realized that, I fell with a thump on the floor. Remembering of Ginny and Mrs Weasley, I turned my hair back to brown and relatively short.
I gathered all my courage and stood up and looked at the two in front of me. Ginny looked, but Mrs Weasley had a strange look on her face, as she shouted happy
"Finally!"
Chapter 14: A full Christmas
I was bewildered. What could've been in that letter to keep the woman from jumping two meters in the air at the sight she just witnessed? And why was she happy? I was just terrified that my greatest fear came true. Someone saw me using my powers outside of school without a wand.
Right next to her, Ginny looked like her feet were glued to the floor. Her jaw was dropped, her eyes wide, her freckles pale and she was barely even breathing. The girl was more terrified than me, and that was saying something. The silence was like a pressure, amplifying the heartbeats and being somehow loud.
I watched both of them, not daring to move even the slightest. Mrs Weasley with a wide smile on her face, Ginny looking like statue.
Finally, the happy woman spoke :
"Oh, Selene dear, I'm so happy that you finally...well, you know. When I got the letter from Minerva I was so happy I'm finally getting to see you again after all those years. Poor girl, I think it was hard for you to stay away, and with your bond, all the pain, he had a bad childhood with those horrible people, but for you it was so much worse, plus wanting to see him again and he didn't know. I need to tell Arthur that..."
Then she suddenly realized that her daughter was staying beside her and was listening carefully.
"Ginny dear, why don't you go and keep Hermione company. She's eating alone. The boys went with your dad on the hill to play Quidditch."
Visibly disappointed, the redhead walked up to the door and wanted to get out of the room, when I remembered...
"Wait! She can stay. She'll find out eventually. They're soulmates. We had to brew the Animapar video. Failed attempt to find out mine."
Molly turned to me, three didifferent looks combined on her face: distrust, bewilderment and happiness.
"She is? It can't be. You're sure? "
"Very. But he didn't tell anyone. And I'm also sure that we have to tell her. And I want to know too. I didn't know you knew and also don't know what was in that letter."
"They didn't tell you? Back then you were too little, but the remaining of us thought you were told who was in The Glow."
"I was told about like 5 or 6 that are still alive. But I had a very evolved mind for a 1 year old, you know. "
"You know , I would like to be told about what you're talking now, since you said it concerns me too, and I'm still here..." Ginny cut in.
"Oh yeah, right. So..." I started. Half an hour later, she knew my whole story. It was time to tell her about Harry.
"And there's one more thing you should know...in potions class we brewed a potion named Animapar video. When you drink it, you see a clear image of your soulmate. My soulmate is my significant other too, but the majority of romantic soulmate pairs are not so strong, and they don't have the thing with the skin too. But we all brewed it and I took a look in their minds. Soulmates don't have to fall in love or marry, but still. Now, promise me not to do anything crazy or scream or other things ok? "
"Ok. I promise I won't. "
"Well...Harry is your soulmate." Her face, now the normal color, paled again, a smile formed on her lips and her mind started dancing around the idea that the boy of her dreams was her soulmate.
"Gin, you're still here?"
"What? Yeah. But, you're sure? Like, very, absolutely, irrevocable sure?"
"Im extremely sure. And he didn't seem upset bout the idea either. But you have to keep the secret. From everyone."
"Ok, I'll keep it."
The day flew by and the Christmas came faster than we even expected. We all gathered around the Christmas tree to open our presents. I sat down between Fred and George and before we started, I asked them:
"Does Ginny seem to act strange from your perspective?"
"No, just as usually, she..."
"...turns red and forgets how to..."
"...speak when she sees Harry. But..."
"...why do you ask?"
"She found out. Well, she saw me floating with my hair out of control again.Your mom knew and I told her too, you know...since Harry is her soulmate..."
"Yes, now let's..."
"...open presents"
We all opened the sweaters first. Mine was, as promised by the twins, red with a white snake on it. My face turned red when I saw it.
I also got books on advanced magic from Hermione, sweets from Harry and Ron and I had a huge box of Zonko's products in my truck from the twins.
I got the twins some books on muggle science, for Ron sweets and for Harry books on Quidditch (there were surprisingly a lot of them).
And then...we got the letter. A Hogwarts owl entered the living room and let it fall in front of me. I opened it and read out loud:
"To Fred, George, Percy, Ronald, Ginevra, Mr and Mrs Weasley, Hermione Granger, Harry Potter and Selene Povans, The Christmas tree in the living room, the Burrow.
The Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry is hosting a new event this year. Children will return to the school one week earlier and in that week a talent show will take place in the Great Hall. The students can dance, sing, joke and do anything related to talents individually or in teams.On Tuesday, ten numbers will be chosen for the final, that will be on Thursday. Every student that wants to participate can send a letter or talk to the deputy headmistress McGonagall till Monday evening.
Merry Christmas and a happy New year,
Headmaster Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore"
My face fell as the twins grew identical grins and everyone started chatting happily about the numbers they were going to do.
Later that night, the boys told the truth.
"YOU DID WHAT?!!!?!???!?"
"Well, we knew them, and we..."
"...thought he should read them too."
"How could you send muggle stories to him? He'll make references now too. As if you two weren't enough."
"It's ok, now he'll..."
"...know how to be..."
"...your Prince Charming." They smiled together...
Everyone in the house was full of Christmas spirit, even me, even though I was still thinking about the letter.
For me, it was the most beautiful Christmas ever, here at the Burrow, surrounded by a happy and full family, unlike mine was, and by friends.
As we started boarding the train one week before the term started, my eyes fell on a nearly white head, and I didn't understand the grin on his face until I saw he had his eyes fixed on my sweater. And then I decided...I was going to participate in the talent show.
A/N: I tried hard, and I succeeded in posting this exactly five days later too. I'm happy when I write, so even though I won't also post the chapter with five days between them, I'll continue posting.
