Chapter 3

"Where are we?" Harry asked worriedly, helping Ginny up to her feet. After the flash they had passed out and had just woken up in a large empty space, void of everything, and completely gray.

"You are where I have brought you." Out of the shadows came a tall beautiful woman. She had long, black hair that fell in graceful curves to her waist and she wore a long, simple gown made of a white, flow-y material. Her eyes were a creamy white, with no pupils, resembling a fog.

"And who are you?" Harry asked, instinctively moving closer to Ginny. The woman laughed slightly.

"I am ruler of destiny and time. I hold dominion over all humans. I see all and I control all." Ginny and Harry looked at her, confused. "I am Fate." Recognition dawned on the two children's faces.

"What do you want with us then? Why have you brought us here?" Harry asked summoning his courage.

"I have brought you here because the time stream has changed, and I need to explain your situation. Which I will do, in good time. But first, sit. Be comfortable." A large couch appeared behind Ginny and Harry, and they sat down cautiously, as Fate sat in a large, regal looking armchair in front of them.

"I believe that you both made a wish last night, did you not? A wish for an eternal friend?" Harry and Ginny nodded in surprise. "You both happened to wish on Fate's star, at the exact same time, with the exact same wish. This called upon a very powerful being."

"What?" Ginny breathed, holding tightly to Harry's hand.

"Me." Fate answered proudly. "No one can call me forward without invoking a powerful magic, which you both, unintentionally did. Now your wish was so heart-felt, that I couldn't just ignore it, so I played with the future a little and came up with a solution." Fate looked at them quite proudly.

"And what's the solution?" Harry asked curiously.

"Well, you two, were going to be soul-bonded in the future, but you both needed each other so badly now, that I just bumped up the schedule a little.

"So we're soul-bonded?" Ginny asked.

"What does that mean?" Harry asked confusedly.

"It means that you two are bonded eternally. Soul-mates. And of course you have extraordinary powers."

"Wait. We're soul-mates?" Ginny asked incredulously.

"Yes. Perfect for each other in every way. Actually, to be more technical, as soul-bonds you two are married, and have all the rights that a normal adult wizard or witch would."

"This is so crazy."

"Not crazy. Fate. Now about those powers. It will be up to you two to discover most of them, but I'll come and help every so often, so the first one we're dealing with is you two will be able to talk Mind to Mind."

"What?" The two asked incredulously.

"Mind to Mind. Where one of you thinks something to the other and they think something back. Over time this will progress, but I believe you should be able to handle it."

"We should be able to handle it?" Harry asked angrily. "I just found out that I can do magic, and that I'm famous for getting rid of the evilest wizard ever, and now I'm married, and soul-bonded to someone I just met! No offense. And you think we should be able to handle it!" Fate watched calmly as Ginny eased him back down on the couch.

"You as a person just met Ginny as a person. However, your souls are familiar with each other. Very familiar. Otherwise a soul-bond couldn't take hold this early." Harry seemed to have calmed down and looked at Fate confusedly.

"How are our sould familiar, but not us, as people?"

"I'm not sure. My domain is humans, not souls, but this is what I'm told and who am I to question those higher up than I?" This answer seemed to satisfy the two students.

"Now the Mind to Mind power should appear within a week and from there your powers will mature and grow. As I said, I will be helping you along the way, but a good portion of the development will be up to you."

"Is that all?" Ginny asked.

"Not quite." Fate reached over and handed her a letter.

"What's this?" Harry asked.

"It's a letter to Albus Dumbledore, explaining what must be done."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, this year Ginny will attend Hogwarts." Ginny beamed.

"Really? That's s cool!" Fate smiled.

"Yes. And a private tower shall have to be set up because you cannot be separated for long periods of time."

"Cannot be separated. Does that mean we have to share a room?"

"A room, a bed, a common room, even a bathroom." The two children looked dumbstruck. "You're going to have the same schedules, and for sports, you must at least be in the stands when the person is playing."

"If we get into a fight or something though, we can like talk a walk by ourselves to cool off and stuff right?" Ginny asked worriedly.

"The bond between you will recognize the need for alone time and give you the time you need before the seperation becomes unbearable."

"Wait. We have to stay together." Harry looked apprehensive. "Ginny won't have to stay at the Dursley's with me, right?"

"I'm afraid she does."

"But why can't we stay at her house? The Dursleys will be awful to her, and my room is too small, and they'd just…and she just…she just can't." A radiating wave of sadness and fear hit Ginny and she squeezed Harry's hand in a comforting way.

"As an adult wizard and witch you're allowed to use magic freely, therefore awful treatment can be avoided and you can enlarge your room to fit your needs."

"So they won't be able to hurt her?" Harry asked, frowning.

"No. They cannot hurt her, or you. Now, we just need to deal with a few more little details and you'll be free to go."

"Okay."

"Now, due to your soul-bondage, you are married, as I've already mentioned, so Ginny, you have to decide whether to take the name Potter or keep Weasley until after school." Ginny looked over at Harry and bit her lip.

"If it's all right with Harry, I think I'd like to take his name." Harry smiled.

"Alright then. That ahs been added to the letter. Also as you are married, you should pick out wedding bands and an engagement ring. Ginny, you picture the wedding bands, and Harry you picture the ring." Ginny and Harry closed their eyes and suddenly the rings appeared on their hands. They opened their eyes and inspected the rings.

Ginny gasped when she looked down at her hand. There was the gold wedding band she pictured, with the words "love forever" on it in curly script. But next to it was the most beautiful ring that she had ever seen. It had a large diamond set in gold and had an emerald and ruby on each side of the diamond.

Harry watched Ginny apprehensively as she examined the ring, and smiled when she looked up at him. She threw herself at him and engulfed him in a hug.

"Oh Harry! It's beautiful!" She pulled back and looked at her hand again. "How did you come up with this?"

"It's like the one my mum had. I saw it in the only picture I have of her and it was really nice, and I don't know, you kind of look like her and stuff so I figured that you might like it." Ginny smiled happily at him, tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

"It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! Thank you so much!" Harry smiled, and then turned back to Fate.

"I will be checking up on you every so often, but if you ever have dire need of me than just call for me and I'll come to help you."

"Thank you." Fate nodded.

"You will be waking up in the Hospital Wing at Hogwarts. And even though Madam Pomfrey and your mother will forbid it, you must go straight to Dumbledore." Ginny started to laugh.

"My Mum is going to have a hissy fit when she finds out I'm going to Hogwarts early, that I'm considered an adult witch, and that I'm married. I can't wait to see her face when she sees my ring!" Ginny sighed happily and looked down at her hand again.

"It's time for you to go. I shall see you in time, and remember, straight to Dumbeldore!"

"Good-bye Fate!"

"See you soon!"

The world faded, once more and the two children were once again, in a world of blackness.
