A/N: I forgot to put in a disclaimer for the last chapter, so the disclaimer for this chappie is for the last one too.

Chapter 9: Finding a New Friend and a Bond

The tension between my brother, his friends and me had been high for some time. Well, basically I ignored Ron and Harry while they kept looking at me sadly. Hermione had come to me the same night and cried and apologized about a hundred times even after I told her I had forgiven her.

Saturday came quickly. I stood in the shop. The owner smiled at me politely and went on with his dusting. Finally a pretty brunette entered the shop, her blue eyes deeply contrasting against her dark hair. She saw me and smiled. "Ginny?" I nodded, "Ms. Smith."

"Please just call me Chris, I knew it was you. You can't miss a Weasley."

I wrinkled my nose and she laughed.

" Dragon, Slytherine starlight, flame and chubs."

I nodded in recognition to the names and asked her to change into her Raven form so she could sneak in to the castle. Docras Meadows was Dragon because she was quick tempered and was very intimidating. Professor Sinistra was Slytherine starlight because she had a crush on Snape when she was in 5th year (I don't think it really died) and of course because of her interest in Astronomy. Lily was flame, because of her hair and temper, and Crystal was chubs because Sirius used to call her 'chubby' during their 1st year.

We entered my room where Lily was waiting. They both hugged and cried for a while. Then after some basic introductions and telling Crystal about my powers and how I can summon the dead, I told her about my theory on Sirius.

She agreed to get in touch with a group she was a part of in America which battled the dark wizards there to start a search for him. After a while we just started talking about their Hogwarts days

"…And Sirius actually had a crush on me during his first year, but he didn't ask me out till sixth year. He said that at first he didn't want anyone to know he liked a chubby girl. Then after I lost all my puppy fat he was too much of a player to commit to anyone, so he decided he wouldn't ask me out until he was sure he was able to go out with me for a long time."

I laughed, "I would have imagined him to be commitment phobic."

She grinned at me. Lily made a face, "James had no problems with commitments. I was more scared then he was. Said he wanted to marry me the first time he saw me."

I grinned at her, "At least you had him running after you, imagine how horrible it would have been if it were the other way around."

She stuck her tongue out at me, "You mean like you and Harry"

I sniffed, "No"

Chris looked on in interest as Lily explained about the diary and my everlasting crush on him amongst other embarrassing things.

Crystal grinned wickedly at me, "You should jump him you know."

I stared at her, flabbergasted, "Are you nuts?"

She giggled as Lily had a look of pure elation on her face

"That's what I did to Sirius. Bloody prat wouldn't make a move, so one day I just jumped on him and snogged his brains out!"

I rolled my eyes, "Harry is not Sirius and I am not you. Besides it's a lot more complicated than that."

She nodded her head, "Uh-huh, you just keep telling yourself that"

I glanced at my guide who was sitting quietly with an expression that I recognized immediately. It was the very same one the twins had when they were planning something in their head.

My eyes narrowed, "What are you thinking of doing?" The tone of my voice brought her out of reverie and she smiled at me guiltily, "Nothing."

Crystal kept trying to convince me that I should jump or seduce Harry. While I didn't get pulled into her scheme, Lily did. She grinned enthusiastically, "You can do both. Potter men like red heads."

I glared at them. "So, I've heard."

She smiled at me, "At least steal his shirt for sleeping in, trust me, it's always a good idea."

They laughed at my expense a little more and then we split our ways.

I went to find Jacque and Colin who were waiting for me at the three broomsticks.

Colin saw me enter and grinned, "Finally! I wanted to go to meet the new seer person Madame Zaara. But Jacque said we'd go once you came back."

I smiled at them and we proceeded.

Colin chattered on endlessly as Jacque watched him, completely mesmerized. It was adorable, I found myself wishing for a love that strong, to be able to take all the teasing and the prejudice and still have something.

"I heard that she's not really a witch, but more of a sorceress. She had no magical lessons, she just has some powers. Isn't that cool? You are sort of a sorceress too aren't you Gin?"

"Colin, love, speak easy." Chided his boyfriend.

He blushed, "sorry"

I grinned, "It's alright, just be a bit careful."

They nodded and we proceeded to Madame Zaara's.

After reaching there, we were ushered inside.

A bent, old woman smiled at us and said, "Wait here my dears, Madame Zaara will call you in a few moments, till then, fill these forms please. Please make sure all the information is true."

I looked at my form and started filling it out.

Colin peaked at my paper and snickered, "Percy named his owl after himself?"

I giggled, "Yeah, He's always been arrogant."

The old woman took our papers in. A few minutes later she called us in.

She looked at me, "You have given wrong information."

"No I didn't. This is all right."

She sighed, "I don't know dear, the spell does not work for you. That means that something is either missing or untrue. Are you bonded?"

My eyebrows went up, "Bonded?"

"Yes. There are different types and intensities of bonds. Have you been bonded?"

I remembered Jess telling me something about bonds when she was helping her cousin. I couldn't think of anything that my parents had told me. I shook my head, "Not that I know of."

She nodded, "Very Well. Follow me."

I followed her into an elegantly designed room where a handsome woman about the age of 45 was sitting. Her dark hair and olive skin betrayed her gypsy roots but her light eyes and accent presented her as a Hungarian.

"Hello Ginevra, I am Madame Zaara. My assistant tells me that something is wrong with your form, but you say it is right. You do not know if there is a bond with you and someone, yes?"

I only nodded.

"Very Well, child, we shall tell." She muttered an incarnation and a big blue light surrounded me. We both shielded our eyes against the brightness. Once it died down, she looked at me with wide eyes. Her light silver coloured eyes standing out amongst her darker features.

"You are bonded and it's no ordinary bond." She exclaimed. I eloquently replied by saying, "huh?"

" You have a partial wedding bond" she managed to squeak out as I stared at the elder Hungarian woman who usually held an air of grace around her and was now sitting looking just as stunned as I was feeling. I nearly fainted as I heard her whisper, "and it's with Harry James Potter."

Been- Thank you for reviewing!

Kimmibear- Thank you for reading and reviewing my story. It means a lot to me.'

Annie- Thank you for reviewing. Yes, I do support Harry/Ginny. I just can't see Harry/ Hermione happening. I see a really platonic, almost sibling like relationship between Harry and Hermione. Many H/H supporters talk about "the kiss" at the train station, it's true she kissed him, but it was only on the cheek and was meant to comfort him. Hermione is shown to be really bossy and Harry isn't the type who likes to be pushed too much. She would probably drive him crazy, while Ginny would give him space to sort things out a bit on his own. Ginny would also be a better listener. There is no proof that H/G won't happen because JKR hasn't really completely created Ginny's character. But there is proof that Ginny is important; JKR has put in lots of small details about Ginny which she hasn't necessarily done with the other Weasley siblings. And Harry's been noticing Ginny since the time at the train station. I also believe that H/H wouldn't work the wizarding world has already made a big deal out of it and nothing has happened. Harry and Hermione's characters seem to think it's ridiculous and if anything was to happen, it would have already happened. Besides anyone can notice the sexual tension between Hermione and Ron. And JKR has said that Ginny will have an important role in the series and hinted that there would be an h/g relationship coming up. So keep your fingers crossed! I hope my answer helps you argue against your brother. There are people who have written essays and articles on this topic. I think you could find some of them in the harryandGinny community at Long live H/G!

Angel Burning in Heaven-Thank you for reviewing. Please keep reading my story.

Bum- lol. I love your id. Please keep R&R

Kiwiblue- Thank you for reviewing. I like Snape, somehow I think he's just been mislead throughout his life and now redeeming himself by helping the order. He can be a real ass, but whatever. Well, Harry's actually done with Cho now. Harry and Ginny will have some spats in the future, so please keep R&R.

Tanydwr- Good, I'm glad my readers are getting the story, I was afraid I was being a bit too vague. I want Ginny to teach Harry see the power of love and take advantage of it at the right moment. She is going to show him what love really is. I'm actually planning that conversation at the moment. Harry's not going to be a wimp. By blind do you mean physically or blind to see Ginny? I am going to make Harry a bit thick, but not entirely. Plus he will get some help in putting some things in prospective. He is going to be more powerful than the average wizard and Ginny does have her faults and ultra-thick moments later on, I hope this puts your fears to rest. Please keep R&R.
