"What do mean Soul Bonded?" Ginny asked as she looked around the room. It had suddenly gone quiet and Ginny became worried. She looked over a Hermione and cast her a Questioning glance.

"I have to ask Ginny did anything strange happen why you went to see Harry?"

Ginny thought about it but all she could remember was the argument and the kiss. Then it hit her

"The kiss that must have been it?"

"What do you mean Ginny? I thought you and Harry broke up"

"Since when were they going out in the first place?" came the murderous voice of Charlie Weasley.

"Oh for god's sake Charlie everyone knew they were going out. It was the talk of the school for a two whole months" Said Ron as if he knew everything.

"And you forgot to mention that in your letter did you?"

"That's not important. What's important is what's going on now" interrupted an impatient Hermione.

"Wait a minute did Hermionie just say you broke up?" questioned Ron

"We did sort of"

"What do you mean sort of?"

"It's a long story that I don't want to go through right now"

"But it might be important."

"Oh believe me it is important just not relevant to what we are talking about now" she explained

"Well are you together now?"

"Yes and if any of you try anything with Harry, you will rue the day you were born. What goes on between me and Harry is none of your business."

Mr. Weasley cleared his throat. "Ginny normally I would agree with you, but as it stands I need to know what happened"

"Oh really and why may I ask do you believe that?"

"Because somehow you and Harry have unintentionally soul bonded which means both of you will now be recognized as adults in the wizarding world"

"Now I'm confused"

"Ginny when someone bonds with another their souls become one. Their magic abilities become stronger, much stronger. The thing is that if one person dies, so does the other."

"Your point being"

"Ginny there is a good chance Harry may die in this war and if he died you would die with him"

"Which if I had the choice dad I would do anyway" Ginny replied. Her words made the entire table gasp.

"Aren't you afraid to die" Asked a very shocked Ron

"No"

"But your just a child Ginny, how can you expect to deal with such a burden?" asked Mrs. Weasley

"Mum you must listen to me, all of you must listen to me. I am no longer a child. I stopped being a child after the events of my first year as did Harry. Out of everyone in this room I am the only one who really knows what it is like to have your childhood ripped away by a man so evil that he is no longer human and I am the only one here that will ever really understand what Harry feels like. Even Ron and Hermionie who have been through so much with Harry will never really understand what it feels like to have something change your life in such a way that just living some days feels near impossible. I have learned to live with it as has Harry but it still haunts us both. Some days it hurts to breathe but we keep on going because we know that if we break down, that if we let it get to us Voldemort has already won. To me this is no burden mum, I love Harry with all my heart and he loves me. If that means we die fighting so be it. At least we would know we did everything we could to survive. Voldemort has touched both our lives, but we both know that if we had to choose between loving each other and staying apart so the other could live, we would choose to love each other. Because it's right not because it's easy. You must all understand that fearing death and fearing the one evil man who could tear us apart are no longer an issue. We both know that it we believe in ourselves and in the people we love we can survive. I believe that believing in love and believing we survive is what makes us survive. I don't fear death; I accept it because I know there are far worse things. So you ask me that had I a choice between living without him or standing by him; I would always choose to stand beside him. Not because I had to but because I wanted to." Ginny now had tears falling down her face and she was shaken by having to relive some of her haunted past to make them understand. But Ginny knew that if she had to do it again she would, because even as the words passed over her lips she knew they were true and she could feel Harry's love radiating inside her and that feeling alone made her feel like she could do anything. "I couldn't agree more" said Harry in her head

"You were listening?"

"Of course I was Ginny, I could feel the pain. I was never prouder of you than I do now and your right if we die at least we know we did everything we could to survive. I will always love you never forget that Ginny"

"I won't Harry, believe me I won't"

"We never knew, about either of you." Said the soft comforting voice of her mother.

"I know"

"Why did you both keep it locked inside all this time?"

"Because mum it eats us up inside and telling people is just to hard. I know you all care and want to know about these sorts of things but there are just some things that cannot be said"

"How do you know so much about Harry, he never tells anyone anything" asked Hermionie

"He doesn't have to tell me I can feel it"

"You can feel each others emotions too?"

"Yes I can"

"Harry is going to flip when he finds out if he dies so will you"

"No he won't"

"How do you know Ginny?"

"Because for starters he loves me and we covered that sort of thing today. Besides he was listening and he couldn't agree more"

"Listening? He heard all that?"

"Yes"

"Well it looks like there is nothing more to say here. This is going to be interesting though" said Mr. Weasley

"What do you mean interesting dad?"

"Oh I have a feeling you'll know soon enough"

"Is that all your going to tell me?"

"Yes. Oh and by the way tell Harry we are picking him up tomorrow and taking you both to the ministry for you apparition tests as you are both considered adults"

"Okay daddy I will. Now if you don't all mind I'm exhausted and I'm going to bed. Night all"

"Night Ginny" they chorused.

As she left the kitchen Molly Weasley turned to her husband and asked "Do you think they will be okay?"

"You know Molly; I think they'll be more than okay"

"Our little girl is all grown up"

"That she is Molly that she is."

That night Ginny and Harry talked about everything and agreed that no matter what they would stick together. At the end of a very long and surprising day they both drifted of into peaceful sleep.

Meanwhile downstairs Arthur Weasley prepared for a very amusing night. He knew what would happen when they were both asleep. He also knew that not telling then would probably mean getting an earful from Ginny. But he had his reasons, they needed to find this out on there own. He decided to go to bed and try to get some sleep. "They have no idea" he chuckled to himself.

And they didn't because four hours later the entire household would be awakened by a very shocked Harry and Ginny.
