The next week at Grimmauld place was fairly normal. As normal as possible
considering the circumstances. Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermoine spent most
of their time cleaning the attic and helping Mrs. Weasley. While there were
Order meetings they would usually go upstairs and talk, although Ron and
Hermoine would usually find an excuse to leave, so Harry and Ginny were
left alone to talk. They both had noticed that they had been talking a lot,
sometimes for hours, and they were getting closer. Ginny liked Harry's
company, and Harry felt like he could talk to Ginny a lot more openly than
Ron and Hermoine. They had not had any more nightmares, and had not gotten
to say more than a 'hello' to Dumbledore.
One Friday night, about a week before Harry's birthday, Harry and Ginny wee sitting in the attic talking. They could talk for hours and not get bored with each other. The conversation drifted to Voldemort and their connected nightmares.
"I am surprised we haven't had anymore nightmares," said Ginny.
"I know," said Harry. "But knowing Voldemort, he has a reason for doing things the way he does."
"It's all so confusing," said Ginny. "Well, I'm off to bed."
"Okay, Gin." Said Harry giving her a quick hug and following her down the stairs to the bedrooms. He walked into his room to find it, not surprisingly, empty. He didn't know how they did it, but Ron and Hermoine always found a place to disappear to for hours.
Harry laid down on his bed and thought of all of the things that had happened over the summer. No one had told them anything but little hints of what Voldemort was up to. He thought of Dumbledore and wondered if he was avoiding him for some reason again this year. He thought of Dudley and the summer camp attack. Then his thoughts drifted to Ginny. She had let him tell her everything. For some reason it was easier to talk to Ginny about his fears or what he believed was going to happen with Voldemort, or his grief over Sirius. With Ron and Hermoine they pounded him for information and then they got all sympathetic. With Ginny she took the information he was willing to give her, and sometimes would tell him things about herself in return. Ginny was empathetic, she understood what it was like to have Voldemort possess you and to try and fight his powers.
Harry also found himself thinking about how much she had grown. He had noticed she was very insightful, and very mentally mature, but he had noticed other things as well. Things like, how her body had grown and rounded in all of the right places, and how she had the clothes to show it, how long her beautiful red hair had gotten, and how many freckles she had on her cute face. He knew that this was Ron's little sister, and practically a sister to him, but he couldn't help himself. After all, he was an almost sixteen-year-old guy, and he was starting to see her as a little more than Ron's little sister.
Ginny was lying in her bed across the hall wide-awake it was well past 1:00 in the morning. She was thinking about Harry and she was confused. They had been talking a lot lately, since Ron and Hermoine were always off snogging, and then there was the whole nightmare thing. Harry seemed to like talking to her and she enjoyed it too. It seemed like they could talk about anything. As they got closer she noticed more things about him. Like how tall and good looking he had gotten. 'NO' thought Ginny, ' I am not letting my old feelings for him come back.' But as much as she tried to deny it, in her heart she knew that the closer she got to Harry, the more she liked him, and not just as a friend.
About an hour later she drifted off to sleep.
She and Harry were at Hogwarts; they were sitting next to the lake. It was odd to Ginny because she was not in her body, but was watching herself and Harry. They were sitting together under a tree talking and laughing. As Ginny got closer she noticed that they were in a very cozy position. She had her head on Harry's shoulder, and he was hugging her to him with his arm around her waist. She was shocked, and a little confused. Why would they be in that position? Unless? 'No that's not going to happen'. She wondered if she was seeing the future. 'NO that's over there is absolutely no chance of that happening', she told herself. When she looked up, she saw that she and Harry were heading toward the castle hand in hand. Ginny felt her being pulled along behind them by some invisible force. All of a sudden something came out of the forest and pulled them in. Ginny followed and found herself in a clearing of the forest surrounded by hooded figures, she saw herself and Harry were on the ground bound by ropes. All of a sudden a small evil-looking figure came out of the shadows. Voldemort.
"Well, well, well." Said Voldemort with an evil laugh. "We have the famous Harry potter and his little Weasley girlfriend." All of the Death Eaters laughed while Harry and Ginny struggled on the ground.
"Don't worry Potter, I'll let you have a chance to duel and save your dear girlfriend, but you know you cant beat me. So instead I will let her watch you die before I kill her as well, I just want to see the suffering on her pretty little face." He then waved his wand and their mouths were uncovered, but they just glared at him.
"Face it Potter, I have found your weakness in the girl." Said Voldemort.
"Don't touch Ginny." Said Harry with a glare.
Voldemort just laughed and then flicked his wand and the ropes binding Harry and Ginny disappeared. They had nowhere to go anyway, as there were Death Eaters all around them.
"Lets see what you have Potter." Said Voldemort, and with a malicious grim pointed his wand at Ginny, and shouted 'Crucio' before Harry could do anything.
Ginny screamed and fell to the ground writhing in pain. Harry sent a spell at Voldemort so that he would lose contact of the spell he had pointed at Ginny.
"Not so good without Dumbledore up at school are you boy?" Harry ignored him and rushed over to Ginny.
"Ginny, are you okay?" asked Harry with a worried look on his face.
"Don't worry about me, worry about Voldemort." Said Ginny with tears streaming down her cheeks. Harry touched her face lightly and wiped them away.
"No, I have to help you." He said determinedly.
"Harry I will be fine, I love you." Said Ginny with tears still streaming down her cheeks, "go and get Voldemort."
Harry leaned down and kissed her on the cheek quickly and then stood up to face Voldemort. The real Ginny gasped. Harry had just kissed her. She couldn't dwell on that though for too long though, because Voldemort spoke again.
"Well isn't this sweet." Said Voldemort. "You just wait Potter."
And then he said a spell that made everything freeze in midair except for himself and Ginny, she then realized that Harry was watching the dream as well and had been right by her side, but she had been too entranced with what was going on to notice. She was a little startled, but looked back to Voldemort.
"Well, it was nice to have you visitors, but you can't see any more so goodbye." Then he gave an evil laugh and the world started to spin.
Ginny then awoke with a scream.
..........................................................................................
Harry awoke with a start. A few seconds later he heard a scream from across the hallway and knew Ginny had had the same nightmare. Without really thinking he jumped out of bed and ran into the hallway, forgetting he was only in pajama shorts. Just as he got into the hallway the door to Ginny's room opened and Ginny came out so fast she ran into him and almost knocked him over. She was in a hurry to find Harry; also forgetting she was in her pajamas, which consisted of a small, tight tank top, and very short shorts. Harry grabbed Ginny by the waist to steady her and they just stared at each other for a moment. Harry's arm around her waist and her hands on his bare chest.
"Let's go downstairs and talk." Said Harry. Letting go of her, sure that she had her balance.
"Good idea." Ginny replied, blushing slightly at the sight of his bare chest.
They went downstairs and were met at the bottom of the steps by Lupin and Tonks who had been talking, but stopped abruptly when they saw Harry and Ginny. Lupin stared at them for a moment before he spoke.
"Well, what are you two doing coming downstairs at this hour in your pajamas?" He then gave them a small smile. Harry and Ginny blushed after he said this, thinking it must look awkward for them to be coming downstairs at this hour barely dressed.
"We couldn't sleep, so we decided to come down here and talk for a while," said Harry.
"Why couldn't you sleep?" asked Lupin, looking a little worried, "Are you having more nightmares Harry?"
"Well, sort of," said Harry, "But I was hoping to not talk about it until I could talk to Dumbledore. Do you know when he will be here again?"
"He should be here tomorrow," said Tonks.
"Well, if you are not going to tell us anymore, I expect we should be going, have a nice night." And with that they were out the door and gone.
"Lets go in the parlor," said Ginny. They went in and sat down on opposite ends of the couch. There were a few moments of silence before Ginny spoke.
"What do you think it meant?" she asked quietly.
"I'm not sure, but this time it felt different to me," said Harry slowly, "it felt like something that is really going to happen, not just some picture in my head. But you can never be sure with Voldemort, he may just be trying to scare us."
"We can ask Dumbledore." Said Ginny
"Yea," Harry replied.
"So do you think that's really going to happen?" asked Ginny, thinking more of the fact that they had appeared to be dating than the fact that Voldemort had attacked them.
"I honestly don't know Gin, we will just have to wait for Dumbledore to tell us."
"I don't want that to happen," said Ginny quietly, now talking about the attack. "It looked horrible."
"Don't worry Gin, I won't let anything like that happen," said Harry, pulling her into a reassuring hug.
They spent another hour or so talking about they're nightmare and other things, neither of them mentioning the fact that they had appeared to be dating. They soon fell asleep, Ginny on the couch and Harry on a chair.
...................................................................................................
The next morning Harry awoke, hearing someone coming in the front door. He looked around and realized he was in one of the chairs in the parlor and Ginny was asleep on the sofa across from him. He looked over at Ginny. He watched as her chest rose when she breathed, he looked at her slender frame. ' She looks so cute when she sleeps,' thought Harry. He thought of the nightmare they had had. He had seen how comfortable they had looked by the lake. They had looked a little cozier than friends, and then they had said they loved each other and he had kissed her. He wondered if the nightmare was a premonition. It had felt like it. Neither he nor Ginny had mentioned anything about that part of the dream. He wondered what it would be like to date Ginny. She was very beautiful, and he loved her company. Just then the object of his thoughts stirred cross from him and gave him a sleepy smile.
"Morning Gin," said Harry smiling back at her.
"Morning Harry," said Ginny sitting up. "I can't believe we fell asleep down here."
"Yea, we should probably go upstairs and get into some proper clothes, order members will be coming soon." Said Harry.
"Okay"
They started to walk up the stairs when Lupin saw them.
"Were you two down there all night?" he asked.
"Yea," said Ginny, "We fell asleep."
"Oh okay," said Lupin. "Harry Dumbledore should be here in a few hours." With that he turned around and left them, but Harry swore he saw him give them an odd look.
They continued up the stairs and before they went into their separate bedrooms Ginny spoke.
"Thanks for everything last night Harry," she said. "It's nice having someone here to talk to when this happens."
"No problem," replied Harry, "Thank you too." He smiled down her, then they gave each other a hug, something Harry noticed had been happening a lot lately.
Just as Harry and Ginny hugged each other, Ron chose that exact moment to come out of his room. He was so quiet that they didn't even notice him. They separated and Harry said:
"Thanks again Gin, I'm glad I have someone I can talk to."
"No Problem Harry."
"I'll meet you in a while and we can discuss what we want to tell Dumbledore." Harry smiled at her and then heard a cough from the doorway and turned around to see Ron there.
Harry froze. Ron would want to know why they were in the hallway hugging and why they wanted to talk to Dumbledore. Harry knew what assumption he would make. Ron was very touchy when his sister was around boys, even if it was just Harry.
"Well, Well," said Ron sarcastically, "Isn't this a cozy little scene? Care to explain?"
"Not really," said Ginny coolly. She wondered how long he had been there and what he had heard.
"Well then I can make an assumption," replied Ron, getting angry.
"Whatever it is you are going to assume is most likely wrong, so just shut up," said Ginny,
"Harry I thought I was your best mate?" said Ron angrily. "What's going on?"
Harry looked at Ginny.
"We are going to have to tell them sooner or later," he said.
"Okay," Ginny sighed. "Can I at least get dressed first?"
"Yes," said Ron. "And then I want you two to explain."
Ron still looked suspicious, then followed Harry into the bedroom. As Harry started to get dressed, Ron spoke:
"Where were you all night?" he asked.
"I was downstairs talking to Ginny," said Harry.
"All night?" asked Ron in shock.
"No, we went down around three in the morning and talked for a while and then we fell asleep," said Harry calmly, knowing that it was going to set Ron off.
"You slept down there?" said Ron getting mad, "With my sister, Together?"
"Chill out Ron," yelled Harry. "We talked and then fell asleep. I was on the chair and she was on the couch, so just shut up!"
Ron shut up. Just after Harry yelled Ginny and Hermione walked in. Ginny went over and sat next to Harry on his bed and said:
"Lets get this over with."
Ron and Hermoine went over and sat on Ron's bed, something told Harry that Ginny had explained everything to Hermoine already.
"Well," said Ron impatiently, "We're waiting."
Ginny sighed and started, "As you know Harry and I exchanged a lot of letters over the summer."
"Yea," said Ron sarcastically, "I was getting one letter for every five that he sent you."
"Don't interrupt me." Ginny snapped.
"Well, Harry and I were telling each other about the nightmares that we were having," said Ginny, but Ron interrupted her again.
"You WERE having nightmares?" he asked.
"Anyway," said Ginny glaring at Ron. "We found out one night that we had had the same nightmare."
"That's what we were talking about the day I got here." Said Harry, "And it happened again last night, so we went downstairs to talk and ended up falling asleep."
"Why didn't you tell us?" asked Ron.
"Because we didn't want you to overreact," said Harry; surprised Ron was as calm as he was.
"Anyway," said Ginny, "we don't know why this is happening, or when it will happen again, so we are going to talk to Dumbledore later."
"Wow," said Hermoine, and Harry could see that she was trying to figure out what was happening. They sat in silence for a while until Ron interrupted again.
"So that explains why you weren't in bed last night, but what is it with you guys talking all of the time and all of the hugging?"
Tonks coming in and telling them that Dumbledore was there saved them giving an answer that neither had. Harry and Ginny followed her downstairs; glad to get away from Ron and Hermoine.
When they got downstairs they went into the kitchen and saw Dumbledore talking to a bunch of Order members. Mr. And Mrs. Weasley, Bill, the twins, Lupin, Snape, and McGonagall were around the room talking. Harry hoped Dumbledore did not want to talk in front of all of these people, even though they would find out later anyway. He felt Ginny stiffen beside him and he knew that she was having similar thoughts.
"Ah, Ginny, Harry," said Dumbledore, "I hear you would like to speak to me."
"Er... yea.." said Harry unsure of what to do.
"Well, Please do sit down." Said Dumbledore motioning to the table.
"Well, actually Professor, We would like to talk to you alone first," said Ginny looking at all of the people around the room. As far as they knew, she hadn't had any more nightmares since her first year.
"Ah... I see," said Dumbledore, "shall we go in the parlor?"
Harry and Ginny nodded and followed Dumbledore out of the door. Ginny was nervous, though she didn't know why, and she reached for Harry's hand, forgetting about the room full of people behind them. Harry was surprised at her taking his had, but he took it anyway. They walked into the parlor and sat on the couch opposite of Dumbledore still holding hands. "So what is so important that a private conference is needed?" asked Dumbledore, and Harry had a fleeting suspicion that he already knew exactly why they were there.
"Well Professor," said Harry. "Some strange things have been happening to me... us.. Over the summer... and event though I know strange things always happen to me, I need your advice."
"What kind of things?" asked Dumbledore. Harry, once again, felt like Dumbledore knew what he was going to say.
"Well, First of all, Ginny and I have been having the same dreams about Voldemort. It had happened twice now and we thought you might know why," Said Harry.
"Ahh, I expected this to be happening soon."
"What?" asked Harry and Ginny together. Harry knew this was coming, but it still shocked him.
"I will explain that to you, but first I would like to know what the nightmares were about," said Dumbledore.
"Well," said Ginny, entering the conversation again, "The first time it happened was about a week before Harry got here. We were both in the same place, I saw Harry but he didn't notice me. He told Harry that he was going to get rid of you and him before the end of the year and then he told me the same thing, but he added that I was the one who would see Harry in pain." Ginny continued to describe the dream, Harry helping when needed.
"Very interesting," said Dumbledore when they had finished.
"What do you thin he meant?" asked Harry. "Do you think he is going to try and get you away from the school so that he can get to me?"
"I am not sure Mr. Potter, but I can assure you that I have no intention of leaving the school this year for a prolonged period of time, especially after the events of last term," said Dumbledore, who looked deep in thought.
"But in the second dream it seemed like you weren't there," said Harry.
"Well, then tell me about the second dream."
Harry and Ginny went on and described the second dream to him as they had with the first one. Harry, saying how it had felt so real.
"Well," said Dumbledore when they were done, "It could have very well been a prediction, but I am not sure, I will have to research it further. Is there anything else?"
"Well yes, I was wondering if you heard about an attack on a muggle summer camp?" Asked Harry.
"Yes, why?" asked Dumbledore.
"Because my cousin was at that summer camp and he remembers everything that happened."
Dumbledore looked shocked but then he spoke calmly. "I shall look in to it." And that was al he said.
There was a moment of silence and then Ginny spoke.
"So professor what about our dreams?"
"It is difficult to explain, and I am sure it may come as a shock to you, so please do not interrupt me," They nodded, wondering what in the world he was going to tell them. "It started when Harry saved you from the Chamber Of Secrets." Said Dumbledore looking at Ginny.
A/N: WOW that was a long chapter, but I felt like I had to have it that way or my story would seem too choppy. I hope you liked it. I know that is a MAJOR cliffhanger, but to tell you the truth I am not exactly sure how I want Dumbledore to explain everything. I have some ideas, just give me some time and I will get the next chapter out. REVIEW PLEASE!! I am going to be mean and say that if I don't start getting more reviews I am going to move my story to a different site. I WILL accept anonymous reviews!!! Please review or I may just stop here! So to torture you I will give you a glance of my next few chapters (if you review) by the way sry bout all of the freaky lines.. my computer wont get rid of them. Harry and Ginny WILL get together BC they will spend a lot of time together BC of what Dumbledore is going to tell them. Dumbledore will tell them... you will find out Malfoy at Grimmauld place? More prophecy
REVIEW PLEEEEEEEEEZ.

"Yea," said Ginny, "We fell asleep."
"Oh okay," said Lupin. "Harry Dumbledore should be here in a few hours." With that he turned around and left them, but Harry swore he saw him give them an odd look.

"Okay," Ginny sighed. "Can I at least get dressed first?"
"Yes," said Ron. "And then I want you two to explain."
Ron still looked suspicious, then followed Harry into the bedroom. As Harry started to get dressed, Ron spoke:
"Where were you all night?" he asked.
"I was downstairs talking to Ginny," said Harry.
"All night?" asked Ron in shock.
"No, we went down around three in the morning and talked for a while and then we fell asleep," said Harry calmly, knowing that it was going to set Ron off.
"You slept down there?" said Ron getting mad, "With my sister, Together?"
"Chill out Ron," yelled Harry. "We talked and then fell asleep. I was on the chair and she was on the couch, so just shut up!"
Ron shut up. Just after Harry yelled Ginny and Hermione walked in. Ginny went over and sat next to Harry on his bed and said:
"Lets get this over with."
Ron and Hermoine went over and sat on Ron's bed, something told Harry that Ginny had explained everything to Hermoine already.
"Well," said Ron impatiently, "We're waiting."
Ginny sighed and started, "As you know Harry and I exchanged a lot of letters over the summer."
"Yea," said Ron sarcastically, "I was getting one letter for every five that he sent you."
"Don't interrupt me." Ginny snapped.
"Well, Harry and I were telling each other about the nightmares that we were having," said Ginny, but Ron interrupted her again.
"You WERE having nightmares?" he asked.
"Anyway," said Ginny glaring at Ron. "We found out one night that we had had the same nightmare."
"That's what we were talking about the day I got here." Said Harry, "And it happened again last night, so we went downstairs to talk and ended up falling asleep."
"Why didn't you tell us?" asked Ron.
"Because we didn't want you to overreact," said Harry; surprised Ron was as calm as he was.
"Anyway," said Ginny, "we don't know why this is happening, or when it will happen again, so we are going to talk to Dumbledore later."
"Wow," said Hermoine, and Harry could see that she was trying to figure out what was happening. They sat in silence for a while until Ron interrupted again.
"So that explains why you weren't in bed last night, but what is it with you guys talking all of the time and all of the hugging?"
Tonks coming in and telling them that Dumbledore was there saved them giving an answer that neither had. Harry and Ginny followed her downstairs; glad to get away from Ron and Hermoine.
When they got downstairs they went into the kitchen and saw Dumbledore talking to a bunch of Order members. Mr. And Mrs. Weasley, Bill, the twins, Lupin, Snape, and McGonagall were around the room talking. Harry hoped Dumbledore did not want to talk in front of all of these people, even though they would find out later anyway. He felt Ginny stiffen beside him and he knew that she was having similar thoughts.
"Ah, Ginny, Harry," said Dumbledore, "I hear you would like to speak to me."
"Er... yea.." said Harry unsure of what to do.
"Well, Please do sit down." Said Dumbledore motioning to the table.
"Well, actually Professor, We would like to talk to you alone first," said Ginny looking at all of the people around the room. As far as they knew, she hadn't had any more nightmares since her first year.
"Ah... I see," said Dumbledore, "shall we go in the parlor?"
Harry and Ginny nodded and followed Dumbledore out of the door. Ginny was nervous, though she didn't know why, and she reached for Harry's hand, forgetting about the room full of people behind them. Harry was surprised at her taking his had, but he took it anyway. They walked into the parlor and sat on the couch opposite of Dumbledore still holding hands. "So what is so important that a private conference is needed?" asked Dumbledore, and Harry had a fleeting suspicion that he already knew exactly why they were there.
"Well Professor," said Harry. "Some strange things have been happening to me... us.. Over the summer... and event though I know strange things always happen to me, I need your advice."
"What kind of things?" asked Dumbledore. Harry, once again, felt like Dumbledore knew what he was going to say.
"Well, First of all, Ginny and I have been having the same dreams about Voldemort. It had happened twice now and we thought you might know why," Said Harry.
"Ahh, I expected this to be happening soon."
"What?" asked Harry and Ginny together. Harry knew this was coming, but it still shocked him.
"I will explain that to you, but first I would like to know what the nightmares were about," said Dumbledore.
"Well," said Ginny, entering the conversation again, "The first time it happened was about a week before Harry got here. We were both in the same place, I saw Harry but he didn't notice me. He told Harry that he was going to get rid of you and him before the end of the year and then he told me the same thing, but he added that I was the one who would see Harry in pain." Ginny continued to describe the dream, Harry helping when needed.
"Very interesting," said Dumbledore when they had finished.
"What do you thin he meant?" asked Harry. "Do you think he is going to try and get you away from the school so that he can get to me?"
"I am not sure Mr. Potter, but I can assure you that I have no intention of leaving the school this year for a prolonged period of time, especially after the events of last term," said Dumbledore, who looked deep in thought.
"But in the second dream it seemed like you weren't there," said Harry.
"Well, then tell me about the second dream."
Harry and Ginny went on and described the second dream to him as they had with the first one. Harry, saying how it had felt so real.
"Well," said Dumbledore when they were done, "It could have very well been a prediction, but I am not sure, I will have to research it further. Is there anything else?"
"Well yes, I was wondering if you heard about an attack on a muggle summer camp?" Asked Harry.
"Yes, why?" asked Dumbledore.
"Because my cousin was at that summer camp and he remembers everything that happened."
Dumbledore looked shocked but then he spoke calmly. "I shall look in to it." And that was al he said.
There was a moment of silence and then Ginny spoke.
"So professor what about our dreams?"
"It is difficult to explain, and I am sure it may come as a shock to you, so please do not interrupt me," They nodded, wondering what in the world he was going to tell them. "It started when Harry saved you from the Chamber Of Secrets." Said Dumbledore looking at Ginny.
