I also must ask that you bear with my odd writing style in the Dream Sequences. I'm writing as if the dream was actually happening, so some things might be mentioned, but explained later.

I think you might need these:

"'…I had every intention of continuing my entry last night, but fell asleep before I had a chance to lie down. The sea air can do that, Mrs. Carstairs tells me…'" Ginny stopped her reading to smooth Harry's hair back.

"See Harry, I'm reading this book. You recommended it for me and you were right: I do like it. I read it before I go to sleep and, obviously, to you as you lie here. Sirius is really worried about you. So are Mum and Dad…and the rest." Ginny placed a bookmark in her book as her older brothers came into the room.

"Dad and Dumbledore came back from the Ministry. They say that between the Headmaster and Lord Malfoy, they managed to get Harry a proper verdict. He's innocent."


Draco was in the Black library reading up on demi-gods, being in limbo, and magical bonds. Potter had been telling him the truth the night before. And as Draco had never read anything on those topics it meant that he really had been pulled into limbo with Potter…which was only possible if he was somehow connected to the other boy.

He'd narrowed it down to a couple of connections or bonds that could connect the two. The first one was "comitis," the bond of friendship. This bond occurred between, obviously, friends that had magical strength. It can also connect two people who are about to become friends; thus the reason it wasn't omitted.

The second one was "gelyn;" the bond of enemies. From what Draco had read of it the bond was something that formed by the hatred that coursed through your magic when you hated someone; when you had an enemy. And as the two had been enemies until that "dream" it worked too…if you ignored some of the things Harry said during afore mentioned event.

The third one was a bond of love. There were many names to go to the many types of specific love bonds. Sibling love, Light love, Dark love, Fleeting love, Desperate love, the list went on.

He was really getting tired, sitting here in this library…


The wind blew through the trees behind him. It sang with the flowers beneath his feet and danced with his hair. The river laughed as it rode the currents.

Draco sighed; why did Potter's limbo look like this? According to the books he'd read Limbo usually was just a dark abyss.

"Thantos likes me here. Therefore, this space can look like anything I desire. And please, call me Harry here."

Draco turned around to look at Harry. The other boy smiled, walking past him to the river. Draco followed determined to have a conversation with Potter, Harry, whatever.

"What are you wearing?"

"A muggle sundress."

"Don't females wear those?"

"Yes. I was playing a game before you came."

"A game?"

A smile, those emerald eyes shinning with what looked like laughter.

"Stop smiling…it's creepy."

Harry turned away from him, laughing out into the now nonexistent wind.

They talked next to that river for hours, talking about so many things. For some reason, Draco felt compelled to just set aside any warnings he felt about basically spilling his heart out to Harry Potter, a boy who he'd scorned for as long as he'd known him. The whole time Harry listened, patient and with a gentle air about him.

It was almost as if his mother had come back to life.


Fingers were carding through his hair and there was a really warm presence all of the sudden.

Draco opened his eyes to see his father above him. He was in a bed, not the library, and his father was sitting in a chair. Said father gave him a small smile.

"Good to see you awake son. I think we need to talk." He sat up so he could look at his father better.

"About what? What time is it?"

"A little after ten in the evening. As to what we need to talk about…"His father looked up when the door opened. Severus Snape came in, saw the look Lucius was giving him, and promptly cast Silencing Charms and Anti-listening Charms on the door. Severus took a seat next to the older blond.

"I saw what you were researching."

"Father, I can explain about that-" Lucius held a hand up to silence his son.

"I understand. Which is why we're having this conversation. Draco, your mother is gone and I know that hurts, but you can not bring her back."

Draco blinked a few times. What was his father talking about?

"And even if you could you would not be bring your mother back, Draco, it would be something else." Severus added, laying a hand on Draco's leg. He was confused…why did his Father and Godfather think he wanted to bring his mother back?

"I know some of the Fairy Tales your mother used to read to you had the heroes summoning a lost one or loved one using the strength of their love, or a magical bond, and the help of a god; but such a thing is taboo for a reason in reality. They won't come back like in the Fairy Tales. Do you understand Draco? It wouldn't be worth it." Realization set in. They saw the books he'd been reading and thought he was trying to bring his mother back. They didn't know about Harry, or his dreams.

"I understand, Father…it's just so hard sometimes. I miss her. Not that you and Severus aren't absolutely wonderful, it's just that…I miss her." Well, he wasn't in Slytherin for nothing after all.


Ginny was neither stupid, clueless, nor naïve. She just let a choice few people think that about her. She had known all about Harry's abuse, just like Hermione and Ron had. But she had said nothing... why? Because, just like Hermione and Ron, she had been sworn to secrecy.

But even so, she felt like Harry's condition could have been avoided if she had tried a little harder to help. She couldn't stand that feeling. Harry had been her first childhood crush, her friend, her teacher, her go-to person, a family member, and the person to introduce her to Luna Lovegood.

Harry had met Luna in his Third Year, Ginny's Second Year. Luna had been mute then, and had been, ever since she was nine and saw her Mother die. Harry met Luna the same way he got to know Hermione: by protecting her from older, "more mature" students at Hogwarts. Luna was a unique person, special, and mute. She made "weird" things in her free time and never talked. Someone found out about her mother and decided to cruelly tease her about it, and everyone else just played along.

Hermione was much the same way apparently. Everyone made fun of her because not only was she muggle-born, but she was a bookworm. She had "buck teeth", "bushy hair", and didn't wear makeup like Lavender Brown and her gang of friends.

But then Harry came.

To Hermione he sang her songs, talked with her about theory and books, made people leave her alone if he was around, saved her life from a troll, and introduced her to Ron Weasley. Harry became her friend and stayed her friend through thick and thin, and she repaid him by doing the same.

He did much the same thing with Luna. She was being teased. He happened upon her, told her tormentors to leave her be, and offered her kind words. She gave him a necklace that she made herself and he put it on. He asked her name, she didn't say anything. Instead of thinking her ungrateful, he introduced himself and asked if she wanted to go to the Library with him. From there, they started a friendship. For the first week, he called her Kamala, saying she reminded him of lotus flowers. He eventually got her to write her name down, and would only call her Kamala if she was upset.

Then, he introduced Luna and Ginny to each other.

The two girls hit it off immediately, and Luna didn't need to rely on Harry as much anymore; Ginny stopped dating boys who reminded her of Harry subconsciously.

That summer was hell for Ginny, the World Cup Aside. She felt smoldering hot, then freezing cold all the time. It was like she was having hot flashes, for heavens sakes! At the World Cup, she felt fine, until the Death Eaters came. However, she was scared, not…flashy as she had taken to call it.

When she got back to school, she felt normal again. Then Luna wrote that the World Cup was interesting…and Ginny understood.

But Luna didn't.

It took all of Ginny's Third Year to get Luna to talk…It took Ginny kissing her full on the mouth for Luna to say one word: Wow.

Over the summer, the two wrote to each other once every day. Ginny in the morning, Luna in the evening, Ginny in the morning again, etc.

Ginny had told Luna about what happened to Harry and the girl was furious. Ginny could tell, since her own temper was becoming short.

But Luna also contacted Dumbledore and somehow got him to agree with her.

Luna was coming to Headquarters to see Harry.

Luna was going to be sharing Ginny and Hermione's room.

How was Ginny going to convince Hermione to let the girls have some time to themselves without outing their sexuality?
