Here the second chapter. I was hoping to get it out last night but my laptops battery died. This chapter will finish out the summer. There will be a time skip in the next chapter. There will be angest in this chapter. Hope you like it. I will start on the next chapter today and I plan on posting it today.

August 1st arrived and with it school letters. All the kids where down stairs eating breakfast when the school owls arrived. Molly handed them out. Harry and Ginny watched as Hermione opened hers. They saw the disappointment when she did not have a prefect badge. Molly saw her face. "Hermione Dear what's wrong?" "No prefect badge. I I thought they were suppose to be in with the school letters." "Mione maybe it will be in a separate letter. You know you got it your the smartest in our year." "Thanks Ron." Ron opened his and was a little disappointed too that he didn't get a badge. The Twins opened theirs and knew neither of them would have made headboy and were fine with it. Harry and Ginny just kept eating their breakfast. They knew what was in their letters they had already talked with McGonagall at the end of the school year.

Molly saw they hadn't opened theirs so she said something. "Harry, Ginny are you going to open your letters." "Mum we already know what the letters say." "Well maybe you maid prefect Ginny dear." "No Mum Harry and I had a meeting with McGonagall at the end of the year which we both turned down the perfect badges. We want to concentrate on our studies and the training we have been doing since last summer. We told her if offered Headboy and Girl we would except." "Are you sure dears. I'm sure you could handle it." "We are sure. We know we could have but we decided it was the best thing for us. Plus who got picked deserved the chance to shine as prefects."

The Twins started their twin speak. "We are so Proud.." "Of the two of you .." "For not taking the Prefect route." both twins finished together. Hermione was in shock not only Ginny got picked over her but Harry and her turned them down. "WAIT. Are telling me you two turned the badges down and you know who got them." "Yes Hermione like Harry and I said we didn't want them with everything we have going on this year. Also before you ask who got them, we can't tell you." Ron was mad on Hermione's behalf. "Well McGonagall must be off her rocker for not picking Hermione. I don't know why she would pick you Ginny. Hermione is smarter the both of you." M Molly was about to yell at her son but Harry beat her too it. "For your information one its not all about grades, Two Ginny and I have been at the top of the class the last two years and I beat out Hermione our second year." "Please there is no way you out did Hermione." "Believe what you want Ron but if you ever bothered to check you would see what the house standings were in grades for our year. You can also find out from McGonagall how you do compared to the other houses too." Charlie decided to jump in before things got out of hand and wands were pulled. He could tell Harry had a hold of Ginny's wand arm, keeping her from hexing Ron. "Harry is right Ron it's not all about grades. The McGonagall looks at grades, how you interact with others in your year and the other years. Prefects have to be able t help others, especially the younger years. It's not all about in forcing rules and giving detentions." "I get along with others and could help the younger years." "Really Hermione. After third year where you yelled at anyone making noise in the common room and brought several 1st years to tears. You think McGonagall would chose you. Especially with OWLS this year." Hermione hung her head she knew Ginny was right. After Ginny told her off McGonagall had pulled her aside and talked to her about her attitude. Plus she knew Harry was right about class standings. She spent the last three years jealous and mad at Harry for doing better then her and the same the last two mad at Ginny for advancing a year and out performing here. Molly ended the discussion there sending everyone off. Harry and Ginny went to training and afterwards found a spot to them selves for the rest of the day. Hermione hide in the library. She knew her getting headgirl was slim to none now.

They all went to diagon Alley a few days later. Harry and Ginny went with Sirius to Gringotts to handle some Potter family business.

On Ginny's birthday Harry woke her up like she did him. They started snogging and letting their hands wander all over each other. This time unlike Harry's birthday they had no intentions in stopping. They both were surrounded in a golden light as they came together for the first time. When the finished a large magical pulse exploded out breaking every window in the neighborhood. A small black cloud burst threw the scar on Harry's forehead causing it to bleed. Above the bed a flash of fire appeared an out of it a phoenix appeared. Harry collapsed on Ginny before rolling off her. They both feel back to sleep. The phoenix found a perch and tucked her head under her wing waiting for the two young lovers to wake.

When the magical pulse exploded out it woke the entire house even throwing some from their beds. Everyone ran down the stairs wands in hand looking to see who was attacking them. Sirius called out. "Bill check the wards around the house. Arthur can you and Molly check the back door and yard. Remus and I will check out front. The rest of you head to the library and stay there. Nobody notice the two missing teens. All the adults returned to the entryway. "All was good out front, not a Death Eater in site though Remus and I notice the whole neighborhood was out looking at all the busted widows." Arthur was about to suggest they fix all the widows and check on the kids when Kreacher popped in. "Master Sirius. Kreacher has fixed all damage created from the magical pulse." "Thank you Kreacher. Do you know what caused it?" Kreacher nodded nervously. "Kreacher knows but does not want to say in front of everyone." "Kreacher I'm sure it will be OK to say with us all here." Sirius looked at all four Weasleys present and Remus and all were nodding. Molly even added "I'm sure it will be fine. We are all adults and can handle the news Kreacher." Kreacher still looked nervous because three of the people her did not know about the soul bond but he had to answerers master. "It was Master Harry and Mistress Ginny." Three of the adults paled realizing what happen the others looked confused. Bill and Charlie were about to head up to check on the two when there father stopped them. Arthur asked Remus to check on the children in the library but not to worry about Harry and Ginny, then meet them in the Kitchen. Sirius and the four Weasleys headed down stairs.

H/G

Remus appeared in the kitchen 10 minutes later. "There were a lot of questions and it appears that the Twins finally notice Harry and Ginny missing. I told all of them to stay put that we knew where the two were. I then locked the doors with an advance locking spell that none of them should be able to open." Arthur nodded his head before Molly spoke up. "Thanks Remus. We don't need Ron or the Twins to go looking for the two." Bill finally spoke up. "Would one of you please explain what is going on, why your not worried about the two Mum like you normally would, and what t all this has to do with Ginny and Harry." "Arthur do you want to handle telling this. It effect your family the most considering your sons will not take the news well."

Arthur stood up and address the three in the room who didn't know about the soul bond. "Halloween Ginny's first year Harry saved Ginny's life." There were two 'What's coming from Bill and Charlie. Arthur held up his hand to forestall any more questions. "Ginny was given a diary while shopping for school supplies her first year. It turned out to be a very dark object that could have killed her if Harry had not notice something wrong." "Dad how is we have not heard about it?" "Dumbledore had us keep it quiet because of what the object was and no we don't know what it was Charlie. We just know it has some thing to do with You-Know-Who. Harry had notice something off with Ginny for about a month already. On Halloween he didn't want to go to the feast because it was his parents anniversary of their deaths. Harry ran into Ginny on the third floor and notice something really wrong. He tried to stop her as she walked past him without acknowledging him. He told us she had a glossing look in her eyes. When he grabbed her arm she jerked out of his grip and her eyes turned red. Before she could pull her wand he was able to petrified her and took her to the hospital wing. While there waiting he held her hand.

When he did he felt a magical shock. This was the first time they ever touched and the beginning of their soul bond." "Wait Dad are you saying Harry and Ginny formed a soul bond almost 3 years ago?" Charlie look confused but Arthur continued. "Yes William. For the rest of that year and threw their 3rd year the bond kept gaining in strength. The summer before their fourth year they relied they loved each other. They had there first real kiss, not just a peck on the lips. When that happen they reached the second phase of the bond. The two of them had already figured out they had a bond and it was a soul bond. So last year they ordered a book on soul bonds after they couldn't find what they were looking for in the school library without getting in to the restricted section. When they read it they found some things out that worried them a little. One was they have been legally married since the bond reached the second phase, they are considered adults with all the rights. Harry added your sister to all the Potter accounts this summer. The biggest thing they found out was that they were not meant to stay in the second phase for long without suffering. They needed to complete the bond, which neither of them felt ready for. At the beginning of the summer they approached Sirius and your Mother. They wanted me there but I had to work that day. They told them everything including they were not ready consummate the marriage. They came up with an idea in which they could hopefully put off the completion of the bond. Ever since we have stayed here Ginny has been sleeping in Harry's room, hoping the constant touching at night and all the touching they do threw the day with holding hands and kissing would prolong things. They came to us after Harry's birthday saying they would not be able to hold out much longer. What happen this morning is the bonding completing. The only thing they need to do to insure the bond is stable and strong is they must sleep with as much skin contact as possible for the next year. It could be less depending how physical they our in their marriage."

"I can't believe you and Mum let this go on or didn't try to break it. How do we know Harry didn't cause this." At this last question Sirius stood up furious. "Charlie Weasley how could you say something like that. I realize you have not spent as much time around Harry or apparently know what a soul bond his but you here me good Weasley. Harry is not that kind of boy and two a soul bond can't be forced." Charlie stood up and got in Sirius face when Molly jumped in. "CHARLIE WEASLEY SIT DOWN RIGHT NOW AND SHUT UP BEFORE I HEX YOU MY SELF. YOU WONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT YOUR SISTER HEXING YOU. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF SHE HEARD YOU." Charlie sat down looking furious.

Arthur jumped back in before tempers got worse. He notice Bill sitting seemingly understanding. "Charlie first neither Harry or Ginny had any control over any of this. It was meant to be since Ginny's birth. Second any attempt to break it would result in both there death and the person who broke it would receive the Dementors kiss. The two of them have been up front with us since they found out all what the bond pertains to. You and your brothers are going to leave them alone. There will be not threatening Harry because if there is and your sister is threw with you I will make you wish you died at birth. Now Harry and Ginny will be asleep for most of the day. That magical pulse would have taken a lot out of them." Charlie still looked mad and did not want to concede his point. "Ginny is just a little girl who grew up with a crush with the boy who lived. How can any of you believe either of them know what love is. I don't agree with it and will not support it. The best thing we could do is pack up and go home and forbid Potter from seeing Ginny." Arthur could see Molly and Sirius get mad.

Bill decided to say something. "I don't know a lot about soul bonds but I know a little there is nothing we or them could do to stop this. The best thing we can do as I see it is support the two of them. Charlie you are not around the two of them. I have been and I can tell you they both are deeply in love. Harry is a good kid that has already saved her life once. He would never do anything to hurt her even if he could. If you can't support them maybe you should head back to Romania before Ginny wakes up. From what the twins say they are both rather protective of the others and there is no telling what she would do if she heard you say about Harry what you did. You don't want to face her want. Both of them have been training for two years how to duel and advance spells. They can even do some wandless magic. They are both very powerful. You don't want to cross them."

When Bill was done Charlie just sat there and decide he would watch the Potter boy. He would just have got him alone fore a little talk and maybe talk with his other brothers. Molly got up to make some tea while Arthur continued. "Thank you William. I know both of them would appreciate your support. Your Mother and I will talk with th rest of your brothers after breakfast. Bill I would like you to add some wards to Harry's room since that is where they sleep at night and I don't want anyone bothering them. Now if someone would get the others we can have breakfast then We will contact Minerva and ask her to be here for the meeting with your brothers so she knows what's going on. Hopefully Ginny will be up before dinner. Tomorrow we can all sit down with them as long as everyone behaves. We can figure ot what comes next and you may ask some questions but be ready for them not to answer some of them. I'm counting on the two of you to act your age and help with this."

With that Remus left to get the others and Bill went and set the wards. When everyone came down it didn't take long for someone to ask about Harry and Ginny. They were all told to not worry about them that everything would be explained after breakfast. When breakfast was done Arthur told the rest of them what was going on. As expected Ron threw a big fit and was shouted down by his mother. Hermione had tones of questions which she was told that tomorrow she would have a chance to ask but the bond was extremely personnel and they probable not answers most of her questions. If the said no then she was to stop. No ifs ands or butts. Bill pulled Ron aside after he heard him say he was going to kill Harry for betraying him. Ron came back a little later with a swollen jaw.

Harry and Ginny woke around mid afternoon. Both felt refreshed. Neither felt embarrassed about their lack of attire. Ginny leaned over and kissed Harry which lead to second round of love making before they realized there was a phoenix in the room with them. Harry and Ginny covered up and looked at the Large colorful bird. They were surprised when it spoke to them in their minds. 'Greetings young ones. I am Serenity your phoenix. Your soul bond called to me when it completed and I have bonded to the two of you.' "Nice to meet you Serenity. You are a surprise. Not that either myself or Harry are complaining. Just surprised." 'Very few phoenixes bond to humans. I will be here for the two of you as long as you live. I can also sense the phoenix in you. When it is time I will help you learn your abilities.' "Thank you serenity. I guess we need to go down stairs and face the music. The alarm clock shows it is almost three o'clock." "I'll run next door and change then come back Harry, then we can walk out together." 'I will come with you. I may be able to help keep people calm.' Both Harry and Ginny thanked her. Ginny came back 5 minutes later. They found that thee where wards on the door to Harry's room they didn't put there. Neither was sure if that was a good thing or not. Serenity was about to offer to flash them down stairs when they heard Bill take the wards down.

Harry and Ginny walked out to a ginning Bill Weasley. "I guess congrats are in order you two. Don't worry you two. Most every body was supportive after Dad had to tell us about the bond this morning." Ginny ask about who. "Who do we need to worry about and how much does everyone know?" They know how the bond came to be and that it is now complete. Also about the two of you sharing a bed for the last 6 weeks." "So they know pretty much everything. Well if Charlie and Ron don't want to face my wand they better keep their mouths shut." "Don't worry Ginny. Nobody is suppose to talk about it today though Dad has talked with McGonagall and we all are suppose to sit down tomorrow and talk some more. There are going to be some questions but Dad warned everyone you may refuse to answer some of them." "Well we got one more surprise for everyone. We woke up with a phoenix in our room and she says she is bonded to us." "Well maybe that will help with Charlie but Ron. Lets just say he has a bruise on his jaw from where I decked him." Harry just groaned at that. "Well I have ignored him over the last three years when it comes to Ginny, so I have no problem continuing doing that. Lets head down stairs and get this over with." With that Harry and Ginny followed Bill down stairs hand in hand.

When they walked in the kitchen it was just Molly and Sirius at the moment. Most everyone else was at work or their rooms. Molly ran over and hugged them both. Sirius came over and gave them a hug also. Molly handed Ginny a potion. "That will help with the soreness dear. I wish you were both older but I am happy for the two of you. We talked with your brothers. If either of you have any trouble let myself your father or Sirius know." "Thanks Mum" "Thanks Mrs. Weasley." "No problem dears." Sirius addressed them next. I told Kreacher once you woke up to move Ginny's thing in your room Harry. There is no since keeping both. He will also seal the portal between the rooms. How do both of you feel." Ginny replied she was fine but Harry told them all for the first time ever his scare did not hurt. "Ever since Tom came back there has been a sharp pain instead of a dull pain." They all looked at him. "I have always had some pain in my scare." Bill asked a few questions. "Harry has anyone ever examined your scar?" "Not that I know of." "Do you mind if I do?" Harry shook his head no. Bill waved his wand over Harry's scar for a few minutes before stopping and starting again. When he was done. "It looks fine now but I believe there was something in it." Sirius gave out an angry "Damn that out goat I bet he knew." Harry asked "Who knew what Sirius?" "Dumbledore and your scar might have been like the diary Ginny had and the locket we found in the Drawing Room that Kreacher told us about. I can't tell you more then that right now but Bill you might want to talk with Dumbledore." Bill didn't look happy. He had a good idea what was in Harry's scar and if his scar was the same as the diary he knew how Tom Riddle survived. Bill told everyone Harry was good now and he would talk with Dumbledore later.

Ginny's birthday celebration was going good. Serenity showed up when the tension grew thick from Ron and Charlie's attitude. Charlie was surprised to hear the phoenix bonded to the two of them and decided that he was best off seeing how things went before saying anything and to give Harry a chance. He even talked with the pair. Letting them know he wasn't fully happy about it but promised to try to support the two. THey thanked him. He said its hard to go against a phoenix. Ron never said anything to either of them him and Hermione stayed to them selves and left as soon as they could.

The next day McGonagall showed up and everyone staying at number 12 sat in the sitting room to discuss the soul bond. Harry and Ginny went over the last three years. They told a about a couple of the things they got because of the bond. Like being able to sense where the other was or each others emotions. How they could speak in their minds. They talked about how their magic felt stronger since the bond completed and it might get a little stronger over the next year. Ginny mentioned how Harry's scar was almost gone and no longer hurt. Hermione immediately jumped in and said that Dumbledore needed to be here and told everything. Which she was told that he would be informed by Sirius and Bill later that day and it was best if it was not in public. Sirius said something about hexing the old goat bad enough for him to be hospitalized for the rest of his life. Which set Hermione off, tell Sirius he needed to be more respectful of the headmaster. Bill told her she should not judge Sirius due to she did not know what was going and would no be told because it was not her business. Hermione crossed her arms and sat i the corner sulking with Ron.

McGonagall finally spoke. "Thank you all for telling me. Since you both are in my house I do not need to involve the Headmaster about living arrangements for the two of you. There are a set of rooms set aside fore married student. We have had some in the past but not in many years. I can not stop people for talking and there will be those in Griffindor who will talk. It is sad that the two of you can not depend on your house mates to support your desire for privacy." "Don't worry Professor. After last year we are well aware of who are friends are. We will continue the way we did last year after they all turned on Harry." "I will also be resigning from the quidditch team. I want to concentrate on my studies with OWLs this year. Plus after how they treated me last year and how they treated me first year. I don't feel to incline to help the house win the quidditch cup." :I understand Mr. Potter and if I was in your shoes I would do the same thing. I will inform Miss Johnson she will need a new seeker. What you tell people or don't tell is up to you. I would expect unless you give some kind of statement the rumors are going to be bad. I can do a little if I hear them but I can not stop the rumors." Both of them thanked her. She told them she would let them know how to access their room on the first.

Everyone else sat and talked about how to handle people talking. It was decided that Sirius plus the Weasley parents would put out a joint statement that would be posted in the paper on the 2nd of September. This should help with rumors.

The rest of the summer went about how the first month at number 12 went. Hermione wanted to learn the new spells that Harry and Ginny were learning. Sirius and Remus said if she wanted to learn that she would have to do the exercises and train they do. Hermione didn't want to do all the exercise and training so Remus told he no. He explained that Harry and Ginny were working on learning to defend themselves if she wanted to do that she had to do the whole program.

A couple days before they were do to return to Hogwarts Harry heard Remus and Bill talking about the prophecy that the Order was guarding. Harry ask if anyone could retrieve it and when told no, only those who it pertained to. "So either Tom or myself. So if Tom went who ever is watching the corridor at the time is dead." Both looked at him shocked. No one thought about that. "Well that makes guarding the corridor kind of a mute point." Replied Bill. Harry thought it would be better to destroy it. "Why not have me go to the Ministry during the day and get the prophecy and then destroy it right then and there." "we ask Dumbledore about destroying it during the meeting he set up the guard on it but he refused." Replayed Remus. "Well I don't care what he says. I don't think throwing away lives for nothing is worth it."

The next day Sirius and Bill escorted Harry to the Ministry. When they got to the Department of Mysteries they were meet by Archie Crooker the head Unspeakable. "Thanks for meeting us Archie." "No problem Sirius. Mr. Potter if you and you escorts will follow me." They followed him to a room full of prophecies. When they got to the one about Harry he took it off the shelf. Sirius put a silencing spell around it. When he was done Harry smashed it. After wards they thanked Archie. When they got to the entrance to the department Sirius said loud enough for the Order guard to hear. "The prophecy has been destroyed with out anyone hearing it. You can head out now."

That night Dumbledore showed up at number 12 angry they went behind his back. Harry was there and told him that having someone standing there to just get themselves killed was stupid and if that he didn't care about the order members lives then maybe the order needed a new leader. Maybe somebody that cared about winning the war and doing something besides throwing lives away. As he was leaving the room everyone could hear him call Dumbledore a lot of unflattering words. Not one adult said a word since they all agreed.

The next day everyone was up early preparing to leave for King Cross Station. Harry and Ginny had already packed and were waiting for it to be time to leave. The Twins were also ready but Ron was running around like a chicken with his head off trying to find his stuff. Mad Eye finally dragged them all out and took them on some crazy long route. They arrived 10 minutes before the train was to leave. Everyone said their good byes and all the kids got on the train. Another school year was beginning.

Well there you go. As you can see because of some events during the summer things will happen a little different later on.
