Harry and Ginny had talked about the bond and even though Harry didn't like the thought of her dieing because of him she had made it quite clear that pushing her away was not an option. He had finally conceded to the fact that they were soul bonded now and he couldn't do anything about. Harry had finally drifted off to sleep.
Ginny lay in her bed thinking about all that had happened today. She cringed at the memory of what she had told her mother. But she knew it had to be done. Ginny had spent some time convincing Harry that their being soul bonded was not a bad thing. The thing that was on her mind was the fact that she knew her father wasn't telling her everything about the soul bond. His comment about her bond saying it was going to get interesting unsettled her. But with thoughts of Harry in her head she finally drifted off to sleep.
THUMP
Harry and Ginny both landed on the floor in the middle of the weasley's living room. Being pitch black and that they had just both awoken in a different place put them both on high alert. Ginny let out a scream of surprise. As for Harry he was more shocked than anything. Both had the same thought, Death eaters!
Ginny's scream had woken up the entire Weasley family. When they all had clambered down the stairs they stopped dead. There in the living room were Harry and Ginny, and they were dueling. The thing that surprised them the most was that when one of the spells him the other they just bounced off leaving no damage. The Weasley family stood and watched in shock for a full 5 minutes before Mr. Weasley let out a chuckle and called out "LUMOS!" Harry and Ginny stopped dead and stared at each other. The looks on their faces, of utter shock and disbelief were priceless and had the twins as well as Ron howling with laughter.
Harry looked around. "How…Where…Ginny?"
Ginny was still in shock and just stood there gaping, that only making her brothers laugh harder.
Arthur looked at the pair with amusement in his eyes and said "I told you this would get interesting"
"INTERESTING! YOU CALL THIS INTERESTING! I COULD HAVE KILLED HARRY! I COULD HAVE KILLED US BOTH!" Screamed Ginny
"I understand your shock Ginny but do please try to calm down" said Mr. Weasley
Harry groaned. The last time Ginny had been told to calm down she did the opposite and just as Harry had predicted Ginny erupted. "CALM DOWN! DON'T YOU TELL ME TO CALM DOWN! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?" Ginny looked into her fathers eyes "You knew this would happen didn't you?" her deadly calm voice making her brothers back away.
"Well yes, I had my suspicions"
"SUSPISIONS THAT COULD HAVE COST US OUR LIVES"
"Neither of you would have killed each other Ginny:"
"NOT IF I KNEW IT WAS HARRY DAD, BUT I DIDN'T. I THOUGHT I WAS BEING ATTACKED BY BLOODY DEATH EATERS!"
"Ginny your spells were bouncing off each other. You can't harm each other."
"THAT'S NOT THE POINT!"
Ginny was pacing furiously across the carpet, tear streaming down her face. Harry knew why, this event had obviously shaken Ginny. As each of her brothers tried to calm her down they each got a matching pair of bat bogeys on their faces. Now not only was Ginny pacing angrily, Ron and both the twins were running round the living room swatting the bat bogeys on their faces, desperately trying to get them off. Hermionie finally took pity on the boys and cast the counter curse on each of the boys who back as far away from Ginny as they could without leaving the room. None of them wanted to miss what came next.
Mrs. Weasley walked over and tried to consol her daughter. However everything that normally worked didn't and Molly was struck dumb with what to do. Mr. Weasley also tried to console his daughter but like his wife he got nowhere. Harry shook himself out of his thoughts and looked at Ginny who was still furiously pacing. "Ginny" He said slowly trying to get her attention. Ginny didn't seem to hear him so he tried again "Ginny"
"It's no use Harry, she won't let anyone near her" Came the voice of Mr. Weasley. What Harry did next shocked the entire Weasley family. He got up and walked across the room towards Ginny. She continued pacing so her stood in front of her and grabbed her wrists to stop her pacing "Ginny, look at me" and she did. One look in his eyes and she broke down. Harry led her to a chair and sat her on his lap. He held her tightly as she cried hysterically in his arms.
The Weasley's watched as Harry broke through Ginny's barrier in shock. Mrs. Weasley couldn't believe it, Ginny had pushed everyone else away but had let Harry in. she knew that she loved him but this proved that she also trusted him. Mrs.Weasley watched as Harry consoled her daughter and was startled to see tears falling down his face. She knew their bond was strong and she knew that Harry loved her daughter very much. She couldn't help but feel that there was more to what Ginny was feeling than just what happened tonight and obviously so did Harry. Molly decided that it was best left to rest, whatever it was they would get through it together.
When Ginny had calmed down Arthur began to explain what had happened. "Soul bonded couple depending on how strong their bond is can sometimes have trouble being too far apart."
"What do you mean Mr.Weasley?" asked Harry
"I mean that the bond between you and Ginny is so strong that when you went to sleep somehow you both ended up in the middle of the living room"
"What does this mean?"
"It means that both you and Harry will not only have to sleep under the same roof but in the same room"
"WHAT?" shrieked Mrs. Weasley
"Molly dear please understand that if they don't they will once again find themselves landing in an unfamiliar place with no idea what has happened and seeing Ginny's reaction tonight and Harry being the only one able to calm her down; that their bond is not only pure, it is the strongest bond ever formed. Therefore we are looking at the two strongest witch and wizard alive." Everyone at the table gasped "If we separate them this will only happen again and again."
"Okay fine"
"Now if everyone has had enough excitement for one night I think I need to go to bed. Harry it looks as if your staying for the night, I really don't need to be awakened again. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow." He said sternly but Harry could see the twinkle in his eye.
Ginny lay in Harry's arms thinking about her reaction earlier.
"Ginny what was it that affected you so much earlier?"
"It scared my Harry"
"What scared you Ginny?"
"It scared me because I thought I had hurt you"
"Gin you couldn't have hurt me if you tried. You heard what your dad said our spells bounced off one another."
"I know but still"
"Ginny you could never hurt me. I know that not only in my heart but also in my head. Not because of the bond but because you wouldn't be able to bring yourself to do it."
"But Harry I didn't know it was you"
"Yes you did Ginny, you knew in your heart. Sub-consciously you knew"
"You always have the right answers don't you"
"Not always Ginny, but sometimes it doesn't take a genius to know things"
"Oh, by the way were going to the ministry tomorrow to get our apparition licenses"
"Great, I bet the press is going to have a field day"
"What? What Press?"
"Ginny anything to do with me and the ministry ends up in the papers. Unfortunately if your going to be spending alto of time with me your going to have to get used to it."
"Fine"
"That only leaves one more problem"
"What?"
"The
Minister of Magic"
"What
he got to do with you?"
"Let's just say he and I don't
have the best relationship"
"Tomorrow is going to be interesting"
"Yes Ginny that it will be"
"Night Harry I love you"
"Night Gin, I love you too."
As the two teens drifted off to sleep they had no idea what was coming the next day. Harry said the press would have a field day, not to mention the Minister. Mix them up and you have a cauldron full of problems.
