Chapter 5
Dumbledores ignorance
Harry opened his eyes to see that Ron had moved him and Ginny to the couch and was shaking him to wake him.
"Ron." Harry spoke through him and a now aroused Ginny, "Hermione where are we." They spoke through the same unison whisper and sent chills through the air.
"We found you to on the floor unconscious, we owled Professor Dumbledore, what happened." Ron asked without taking a breathe. Harry and Ginny felt their thoughts race back to before they passed out.
"The dark lord, he has someone that we know, he has." they trailed of straining to remember. The fire burst outward as Professor Dumbledore walked through it.
"Harry, Ginny follow me please." he said. Harry and Ginny got up and exited the common room following him to his office. When they reached it he offered them a seat and they accepted it. He wore a look of mild curiosity shaped with worry.
"Harry, Ginny what happened tonight," Harry and Ginny looked up at him but did not answer. they still didn't know. They search their memories for the answer to their questions. Who was being held captive by the dark lord. They could feel Dumbledore's eyes on them but didn't care this was about figuring out what they saw and felt.
The room was dark and cold. there was a high shrill of laughter stagnant in the air.
"Yes my master, we have captured him and we are sure that he works for Dumbledore." Wormtails voice was quivering as he spoke. He did not look at the face of the cloaked man in the chair. He did not look at them. He merely bowed his head as he spoke. "he was in the order the last time it was formed and was once a friend of mine, but that was before I knew what he was." "Wormtail you are a horrible liar," Harry and Ginny spoke through the mouth of a snakelike creature. "I know that you serve me though so your past is of no concern to me."
"Yes my master,"
"Bring in Remus Wormtail,"
"Yes master." Wormtail left the room and the cold high pitch shrill laughter filled the room. Harry and Ginny passed out. When Harry opened his eyes he looked up to see Professor Dumbledore eyes. Ginny had been awoken also. Their minds still connected and they could feel each other's consciousness.
"Professor," they whispered, "Professor he has Remus Lupin, Voldemort has Remus."
"When do you see this."
"Just now Professor," They spoke in a still hushed voice but there was a sense of urgency that awoke in them as they spoke, "The dark lord knows that you started the order back up and wants to know what your plans are he has Remus."
"Harry, Ginny calm down we know that he has Remus we sent out a rescue crew and they are locating him right now." "That's not good enough Remus will die if someone doesn't do something. We know where he is." Harry and Ginny told Professor Dumbledore were to look and he told them to head back to the dorms. He would speak to them on his return. They had a thousand objections but he had already had them out of his office and was walking through his fire place. It was late and they needed to head back to the dormitory. When they went through the picture they expected Ron and Hermione to start asking questions, but they weren't down in the common room. Harry sat down on his favorite chair and pulled Ginny to his lap. He stared into her eyes and could see everything that she felt behind them. Wormtail walked out of the room and down the stairs to the dungeon where he kept Remus. He started to unchain him keeping his wand on him and the Anti-Disapparating charm so he couldn't escape. He could feel that there was a sense of what he was doing that was wrong. They walked a little bit further and without meaning to or without even realizing that he did Wormtail lifted the Anti- Disapparating charm and Remus was gone. What was he going to tell the dark lord when he didn't even know what happened himself. He felt like he had done something wrong but didn't know what it was. Remus' escape could be his fault he wouldn't lift the Anti-Disapparating charm himself now but how did he disapparate. Wormtail walked into the room and told the dark lord what happened. He was a little less than pleased and placed Wormtail under the Crucious curse. Harry and Ginny felt pain that was beyond anything imaginable. They passed out for the third time that night. Harry and Ginny awoke to the sounds of footsteps entering the room. They looked up and were greeted by Professor Dumbledore and Remus Lupin.
"Harry the search party had been called off, but when I arrived to the location Remus wasn't there. So i decided to check out headquarters and low and behold he was there explaining to the others how Peter let him go and told him to disapparate before they could get to him. This "before they could get to him" was what stuck me as odd because there were only Peter and Tom in the place. so why say they when he was clearly not talking about others."
"Professor," they started in the same voice that was used before. Remus who had not been expecting this was startled by the unison whisper in which they communicated. "We are not sure about it professor but we were there we saw what Peter saw. we where him and we told Remus to go before they could get him we lifted the disapparating charm and he left. We don't remember any more because we fell unconscious. we don't even know what or how it happened but i think we forced our minds into Peter's and made him let Remus go."
"What," Remus said, "do you mean possession, you possessed peter. How?" Everyone's eyes fell on Dumbledore and he was silent he did not know what to say at this point because he honestly did not know how they where doing what they were doing.
"I honestly don't know what is going on truthfully, I only know that they share a connection between them that seems to intensify but all of my studies and knowledge still doesn't know what or how. I will have to think on this a bit more."
"Dumbledore haw long has this been happening. What if the dark lord has something to do with this. What if he is manipulating them to do something that we are not aware of yet."
"Remus I have thought about it and I do not think that it is his control. You see Tom doesn't work around these circumstances he doesn't dwell in the magic's of love."
"I know this but it shouldn't be passed over just because he doesn't think it a huge power." Harry and Ginny agreed with Dumbledore. How could Voldemort do anything to them they were in love. But even the comforting words that Dumbledore spoke and that they thought were not enough to cast away all doubt. there was just to much that was happening to them.
"We stopped a death eater from killing us, why would Voldemort give us a power like this if it could be used against him." Harry's and Ginny's mind were put at ease with this thought. Even Remus seemed to think that it was a valid point and they stopped discussing it. Remus decided that he needed to get going and let the rest of the order know that he was ok. Dumbledore thought that it was best for them to go to sleep and they didn't argue.
"Harry, Ginny I will discuss this matter with you when I get some details but I will not keep you in the dark about it ok."
"Ok professor," They whispered back and they started to climb the stairs to their dormitories. Harry crawled into bed and wished Ginny a good night sleep. Their thoughts were beginning to separate from each other leaving both Ginny's thoughts and Harry's thoughts in their heads distinguishable from one another. They could hear each others thoughts but could not think each others thoughts. Ron was snoring loudly and Harry had a feeling that he wasn't really asleep. Harry was exhausted and he closed his eyes still present in Ginny's mind he drifted asleep. Harry sleep was rather disturbing He saw Sirus die again but this time it was different he saw Ginny with him and she seemed to be afraid of what was happening Bellatrix ran out of the room and Harry followed out of habit. Ginny moved along side of him keeping his pace. they reached the circular room to see Bellatrix run out the other side. The doors closed and the walls spun. Harry said with a lack of enthusiasm "where is the exit I want out" the room stopped and the door out swung open. Harry walked through it and Ginny followed. What was happening he had this dream almost every night since Sirus had died, Ginny was never in it. Ginny looked a bit shocked that she was here also. She seemed just as confused about being there as Harry felt.
"Harry why am I in this dream. I have no memory of this happening. Are we still connected in our minds."
"Yes I can still hear your thoughts cant you hear mine."
"A little but it isn't clear."
"That's because I didn't want it to be clear," a high cold voice said, "I don't want you two knowing too much about why I am doing this."
"Voldemort you are not real I know when my dreams are real my scar hurts." Harry woke up the room was dark and his scar began to sting. He got up and went down stairs in his pajamas. Ginny was there and she looked as if she was going to be sick. She sat down on the couch and looked into Harry's eyes. He sat down beside her.
"Harry what was that, what was it that I saw. why was I in your dreams." Harry wasn't sure what he should say he didn't know no one has ever been it that dream with him. He knew that she was in the dream because of what was happening to them but he did not know why what was happening to them would produce her in his dreams.
"Ginny wait remember you were still connected to me, or at least still in my mind. We still shared that connection before we went to sleep. Ginny what ever it was it has nothing to do with Voldemort he is not doing this to us. My scar hurts whenever I actually talk to him and it only gave a slight prickly sensation. It was not him he was just our fear acting out of us in our dream."
"I know Harry its just that I don't know anything about this and neither does anyone else. No one has ever heard about this happening. So why is it happening to us. I want to know what is happening to us. I want to know why we are like this. What did we do. What is going on. I just cant think straight Harry. I need some answers and no one seems to be able to give us any."
"I know Ginny I feel the same way you do. I want to know but no one does. I never thought that I would live to see the day that something would stump Dumbledore. It is kind of weird you know."
"Yeah I know what you mean Harry I just wish that we didn't have to be the ones that stumped Dumbledore. I wish that he could tell us that nothing bad is happening to us. That what we are going through is a gift."
"It is a gift Ginny, nothing bad is happening to us and even if it turns out that Voldemort is doing this to us Dumbledore told me that we still have a choice. When I was in my second year he told me that it is not our abilities that make us who we are it is our choices and I believe that we wont do anything to harm anyone. Ginny listen to me," Harry said grabbing Ginny's shoulders, "what ever this might turn out to be we will be fine. If this does turn out to be Voldemorts doing then we will use it against him. We will be on a constant alert about him until we find out what is happening. I believe Dumbledore when he said that he does not think it is his doing but incase that he is wrong about it we will still have the upper hand because we wont let him use us ok and we are stronger together Ginny we can do this. I never mastered Occlumency before Ginny and I still cant do it. I have only been able to do it when I am connected to you. and I don't think that what we did was an actual Occlumency spell or protection. Snape never mentioned to me that it would force the other person across the floor. There has got to be another explanation to it. Ginny look at me."
"Yes Harry," She said looking from the floor to his eyes.
"We will be ok Ginny. Come on lets go back to sleep."
"Harry can we just sit here for a while."
"Yeah Ginny we can." Harry and Ginny sat on the couch in quiet. Harry held Ginny in his arms. He was in the middle of a place that he didn't recognize and was all alone. There was a surreal vibe in the air that placed his hair on the ends. something didn't settle with him about this place it was a dark shadow covered field. raining in the middle of the night. the air was cold and brisk and not welcoming in any sense. He walked down what felt like a road that stretched on forever the night was growing colder and more violent He walked down the road with a sense of something foreboding ahead but he didn't not know where he was going or what he was going for. Ginny stirred in her sleep and Harry awoke. He looked around the common room. He and Ginny must have fallen asleep in each others arms.
"Ginny," Harry said gently shaking her to wake her, "Ginny wake up." She did not move so Harry, not having the heart to actually try to stir her while she looked so peaceful and asleep, slipped out from under her and walked up to his dorm. He grabbed a quilt and headed back downstairs to Ginny who was still fast asleep on the couch. He lifted her up and curled up on the couch. She snuggled up to him and he threw the quilt over the two of them. Harry fell back asleep. His dreams where a bit more comprehendible to him. He and Ginny where outside of the burrow behind the pond. He was kissing her deeply as she was kissing back hard and hot. The urge to undress one another began to surface. time had stopped as a fish had leaped from the waters surface. All sounds quieted and motions only existed between the two of them. Harry overcome by the urge to rip off all of her clothes had Ginny naked lying on his cloak. Ginny was tearing at Harry's violently trying to expose his naked body that awaited underneath them. Harry began to pull at his pants. They had them off and she laid on top of him, both naked and wanting more than just this feeling of their skin touching wanting more than these passionate kisses wanting inevitably to have Harry inserted into Ginny and to make love or fuck or have sex or whatever this act of passion, love, and lust was to be named it didn't matter to them they just wanted and needed this. Ginny reached down and guided Harry's penis to the opening of her vagina the feelings of something powerful building up started and they felt the sensations of flying on their brooms Harry ignored the overwhelming sensations and thrusted forward, out of what felt like a spasm, forward He entered Ginny and she gasped in pain and pleasure as she felt the thin folds of flesh that where her virginity tear open but the stinging sensation of her hymen being ripped where replaced by the orgasmic rhythms and lustful pleasure of Harry's penis slowly guiding itself forward and then retracting. Ginny felt pleasure beyond comprehension as the overwhelming power that built up in them was released in the form of a wave of energy spilling her soul into him. They connected their souls and intertwined their minds seeping through their conscious selves and entering their subconscious entities. connections at this level that had not been experience. pleasure caused by the rhythmic motions of Harry's and Ginny's bodies pressing into one another and moving away from the focal point. there was nothing else to think about nothing else to feel all emotions were used to concentrate on this focal point this spot and sensation of rhythm and friction. there wasn't anything in the world that mattered to them but this moment this absence of time this created universe that was theirs no one can visit it. It was theirs to feel and be.
Harry woke up to a beautiful morning still holding a waking Ginny in his arms. she looked into his eyes and whispered I love you. She kissed him and went up to her room to change her clothes. Harry walked up to is room to change as well and Ron greeted him with a look of confusion and then sudden misunderstanding.
"You didn't did you."
"Didn't what exactly Ron." "Well you know you didn't do it with her did you." understanding soon found Harry and he looked at Ron half wanting to be sly and look as if he had but then decided that he did not need to worry anymore than he was already.
"Ron you know that I wouldn't do anything like that with her until I am ready to. With Ginny it isn't like I am trying to. I am happy just spending the time with her. Besides every time we kiss or touch weird things happen that we still don't have answers to and we don't want to take it that far."
"Ok well good because she is still my sister Harry."
"I know but she can make up her own mind and we don't think that it is a good idea to do it yet."
"What do you mean, you've talked about it with her."
"Ron the subject kind of has its ways of popping up one way or another between us." Ron seemed to be a little disturbed by the way Harry said what he said.
"Harry what do you mean pop up."
"Ron its not like that its just that when Ginny and I kiss certain urges come to play but we don't act on them entirely."
"Entirely. So you act on them a little bit."
"Yeah but I don't see why you are getting so upset at this we haven't done anything ok." Ron didn't want to hear anymore about the subject and walked out of the room. Harry, who felt very confused about Ron's behavior but at the same time felt that Ron was being out of hand, continued to get dressed. He finished and hurried after Ron. When he entered the common room Ron wasn't there instead Hermione was in the room alone.
"Have fun last night Harry."
"Not you too. You don't think that we sleep together do you Hermione."
"No not the way that you mean those words but I do know that you did actually sleep next to her. Ron didn't seem to happy about that Harry what did you say to him."
"I told him that Ginny and I don't act on the impulses we feel."
"You told Ron that you feel those impulses about his sister."
"Hermione, well yeah i did but that doesn't give him the right to be upset at me. Ginny is old enough to make up her own mind and we discussed that we didn't want to do that right now."
"Did you tell Ron that Harry."
"Yeah."
"Harry why did you tell him that."
"He asked."
"Harry right now there is a lot of weird things that are happening to you and Ginny and the connecting your minds gives Ron the impression that you might be forcing your thoughts onto Ginny."
"Ron cant be thick enough to believe that."
"I think that Ron believes that Harry."
"He cant there is no way that I am forcing my thoughts onto Ginny so she starts to think about sex," Harry's voice had raised in the heat of the discussion. How could Ron be so thick.
"Harry I know that you aren't Ginny has been talking to me about sex for some time now. But much to my displeasure I don't know some of the things that she asks about. But Harry, Ron doesn't know that Ginny thinks about it. To him she is still innocent little Ginny."
"She still is innocent she still has her virginity Hermione."
"I know she tells me quite a bit about it so you don't have to yell at me."
"Sorry I just cant believe that Ron can get like this."
"Why not it is his sister we are talking about here. I think that it is good of him to care for Ginny that much."
"Yeah I do to but you would think that he would trust his best friend a little more than this wouldn't you."
"He will get over it Harry just give him time." Ginny walked down from her room and entered the common room. she gave Harry a peck on the cheek and Hermione snickered and then something dawned on her.
"Harry how come I could see that."
"I don't know Hermione you usually cant see much but I guess that it was because it was more of a peck than a real kiss.
"Give her a real kiss Harry I want to see something."
"alright." Harry leaned into kiss Ginny his lips touched hers and her tongue slipped out to massage his lips. the sounds of the wind outside and the slight snickering that Hermione was doing emptied the common room. Harry and Ginny where alone in there little universe. He could feel her eyes gazing around at Hermione and then let up on the kiss. They backed up on the kiss and the room melted back into the real world of Hogwarts. Hermione who was snickering when she moved again jumped up and raced to the library saying that she would see them later on. Harry and Ginny where alone in the common room. Eyes staring into one another moving their lips closer to one another. Harry leaned into her to put their lips together but instead hit her ear as she turned to see what was scraping the window on the other side of the common room. Harry looked in the direction that she was looking and saw an owl outside of the window tapping on the window with a letter and a parcel attached to its feet. He jumped up and moved towards the window to let the owl in. When he opened the window the owl flew in and landed on the table over by the couch. Ginny picked up the owl and released the package from his leg. the owl flew back out of the open window and off into the warm morning sky.
Ginny opened the letter and read it out to Harry in was from Dumbledore.
Dear Harry and Ginny
I would like to see you in my office after lunch today. There is a subject that we need to discuss concerning you two. I will expect you two to meet me at 1:00 in my office travel by Floo powder. I have sent some to use in the parcel. I shall see you in a few hours.
Harry opened up the package that was on the table and put the floo powder down on the table. It was now eleven o'clock in the morning and Harry was feeling a bit hungry. So he and Ginny went down to the Great Hall to get something to eat Ron was there when they had arrived and he was looking at Harry with a bit of remorse in his eyes. Harry sat down next to Ron and Ginny sat down on the other side of Harry. Hermione was not in the Great Hall.
"Ron I am sorry I know that this must be hard for you to take, you know me dating your sister and all, so I will do my best to make you feel more comfortable."
"Harry don't worry about it I know that you wont hurt her it is just a little hard for me to hear some of it."
"Wait Ron what's going on are you and Harry fighting because he is dating me. Ron what are you doing what is going on. I am old enough to make my own decisions."
"Yes Ginny you are and I am your older brother and I have the right to worry about all of the decisions that you make."
"Fine Ron you worry about it but don't let your older brother syndrome ruin your friendship with Harry." Harry Ron and Ginny started to eat their lunch and Hermione walked in with her backpack full of books from the library.
"Harry Ginny I found a little bit of information on what is happening to you two." Everyone stopped in anticipation wanting to hear what she had to say.
"Ok well like I said there isn't a lot of information on this subject so mind you this wont explain much and you might even know some of what i have to say."
"Just say it Hermione." Ginny was pleading from her nerves they might figure out what was going on.
"Well the books say that you two are experiencing a connection between your minds and bodies because of an energy source that is both infinitely ancient and forever young. it has existed throughout time and is the root of all true magic. its power source is still being studied but no one knows what it really is. This source of energy is awakening inside both of you and that stumps me but this source of energy is pure and full of life. It doesn't say why you two are actually connected but this is the reason you two are connected. it says that the bond that you two share links both you and your power as wizards it strengthens the both of you and it strengthens itself through you. You both are kind of like a host to this energy but I still don't know why it picked you. I doesn't say in this book that this energy actually does this it just says that the power it has can grow inside of two people that love each other. So i am still at a loss on why but I think that this is for sure what is happening to you."
"Hermione are you saying that we are a host and that this thing is a parasite."
"No its not like that it well kind of but more like an energy symbiotic it needs you but not to live and you can experience a gain by having it. But even if you don't like it I am afraid that I don't know how to get rid of it so you are basically stuck with it." Harry and Ginny walked out of the Great Hall with their thoughts racing Hermione told them that they were being used but what for. While this did explain a little bit of information it did not help any. It in fact made things more confusing as it opened a whole knew door of questions and they still didn't know its intentions with them. They walked up to the common room and sat on the couch. Ginny put her hand into her pocket and then pulled it back out she had the note that Dumbledore had sent them.
"Harry we can just ask Dumbledore about it but even he wont be able to explain it all. I am sure that he will want to know about it though."
"Yeah i suppose that you are right." it was only twelve thirty so they still had a half an hour to wait before they flooed over to his office so they decided to just sit there and not do anything. It was the longest half hour that he had ever sat through he kept looking at his watch and was sure that he saw it moving backwards then started moving forwards like it realized that he was looking. finely the half an hour was up and they grabbed the handful of floo powder each Harry stepped into the fire place and said "Hogwarts, Professor Dumbledores office" the room slowly dissolved and he began to spin fast then he came to a stop as he burst out of the fire place. Professor Dumbledore was at his desk smiling as Ginny came through the fire place behind Harry.
"Sit down please." They both took a seat in front of his desk. He looked at them both, his piercing eyes gazed into Harry's and then into Ginny's. Harry knew that there was something that he needed to tell him but he wasn't sure on how to be polite about it.
"Professor," Harry started, "Hermione told us that or well she believes that we are or have this connection because of some powerful old force. She said something about it being forever young and infinitely ancient. she thinks that it sought us out and needs us." Dumbledore looked at Harry and began to think his mind seemed to be racing at Harry's words. then he looked up at Harry and began.
"I think that miss Granger is correct when she says this. It is beyond me why i didn't think of this but it puts a new light on things. Remus and I have been through an ordeal with this he seems to be convinced that Voldemort has something to do with it. I assured him that he was worrying over nothing but that i would keep an eye on you two. So this power that miss Granger told you two sought you out did she mention what it was."
"No professor she didn't know what it was."
"Well that would be because there is no actual account on what it is. But Harry if you recall a few months ago I told you that the department of mysteries holds a power source that is being studied."
"Yes you said that it was the source of pure love."
"Yes Harry I did and that is what it is that is in you. If i am not mistaken Harry this source of love has been in you from the beginning since your mom sacrificed herself to save you. It is now going in you and miss Weasley as your love gets stronger. As your love develops between you two you will find that your power grows." Harry thought about this and decided to ask him why they could feel their selves in each other minds that they seemed to be able to do more than just stop time they could hear their thoughts and move both bodies. Dumbledore however did not have any answers for Harry and Ginny. either that or he refused to let them know what he knew on it.
"Professor," Harry started, "when Ginny and I make out we seem to get lost in each other and as much as it is a comfort to be lost in Ginny we both seem to be afraid of not being able to get back what is going to happen when this link between us wins are we going to be lost in each other not really one person."
"Harry, Ginny listen to me right now you two are experiencing something new and you are not experienced enough to control it. You connection between one another is releasing powerful magic once you experience it enough you will have control over it and everything that has been happening to you will not seem so weird. alright now both of you I need to get to some things so off you get." Harry and Ginny walked out the door and down the revolving staircase the gargoyle jumped out of the way, they moved passed it and it walked back to its post. they went back up to the common room. Ron and Hermione where there arguing inaudibly through the portrait and Harry and Ginny not wanting to walk in on it decided to walk down to the Quidditch pitch for a broom ride. they got down stairs and out the doors when Ginny realized that they where stupid because their brooms where up in their rooms.
"Don't worry Ginny we have are wands and we can summon them using the summoning charm."
"What oh yeah."
"Accio broom." Harry called and his broom flew out the closed window shattering glass all over the grounds below.
"Arculous Repairo," Ginny said laughing.
"What i forgot that the window was closed."
"Accio broom," Ginny said not having to open her window because it was already open. they mounted their brooms and kicked of heading towards the pitch. Harry chased her on her broom up and down the pitch her flying skills where very impressive he was actually having a hard time catching her on his broom even though he was riding the faster model. he made moves to tag her but she turned at unexpected angles and twisted around her broom stick handle that even though he could catch the broom Ginny's rolls where making her an almost impossible target. Harry watched her movements and studied her flying patterns. Once he got down what she was doing and that she favored rolling to her right because she was right handed he caught her and she couldn't get away from him fast enough to lose him. she finally gave up and decided that they should turn in. it was getting late the sun was setting. they touched down on the ground by the front doors of the castle and walked in Harry was complimenting Ginny on her flying skills and telling her that if she didn't try out for the Gryffindor team that he would be very upset. they walked over to the Great Hall to eat dinner Ron and Hermione were sitting in the room next to each other their fight seemed to be forgotten about but Harry knew that it was probable Hermione suggesting that they put their differences aside. He didn't want to know what had caused the fight but was sure that it had something to do with something Ron said to her. He seemed to have a gift for saying things at the right moment to piss her off. Dinner was very peaceful no one said a word. Ron seemed to have something still boiling under the surface but was biting his tongue and covering his jagged movements while he ate. after dinner Harry and Ginny got up and asked Ron and Hermione if they wanted to play a game of exploding snaps in the common room. they all left and went up to the common room. when they entered no one really wanted to play exploding snaps. Hermione and Ron seemed to be at each others throats their fight had not gone away and although neither spoke a word their glances at each other where enough to show Harry and Ginny that they didn't feel like being in the same room together. Ron went up to the boys dormitory and Hermione went up to the girls. Harry and Ginny where left downstairs alone and decided to take advantage of the moment. Harry picked up the book of practical defense spells that Hermione had given him for his birthday and they started to read over the books contents. Harry's eyes stopped on a charm that was called a displacement charm. he decided to flip the book to that page. Ginny who had not seen what he saw was a bit curious as to see why he change the page. when he reach the page of the displacement charm Ginny's eyes widened she knew about the spell and wanted to perform it. Harry and Ginny both took a shot at the incantation the problem was the spell was insanely hard to do. It required more concentration than even the patronous charm. This time however instead of a happy thought or even a thought at all it required them to concentrate on their energy that they used for the spell. They had never concentrated on this energy before and did not know what it was that they should concentrate on exactly.
"Displacio Cup" Harry said pointing his wand at a cup on the table. Ginny sent a shattering charm at the cup and it broke.
"It didn't work Harry. Arculous Repairo." the cup which was in pieces reassembled itself and stood on the table where it was. Harry sat down and picked up the book he read and reread the chapter on the charm but it wasn't much use it didn't tell him exactly what he was looking for they needed Hermione's help.
"Ginny can you go and get Hermione I think that we need her."
"Ok." Ginny ran up to the girls dormitory and retrieved Hermione. She walked downstairs a bit apprehensive. When she saw that Ron wasn't there she walked over to the couch and sat down.
"So what do you need." she asked.
"Well we are having trouble with this spell it is insanely difficult and we were wondering if we could get your advice."
"I knew that you would like that book Harry."
"Yes actually I do like this book but this spell the displacement charm is very complicated we don't know what to concentrate on."
"Well let me see if I can help." Hermione grabbed the book and read the short chapter on the displacement charm. "Well It says to concentrate on the energy you put into the spell."
"Ok Hermione what is that."
"I am not really sure about what that is. I know that you put energy into every spell but I don't know that energy feels like." there was a sound of wind being forced through teeth by the boys staircase. Harry looked over and saw that Ron was standing there.
"What are you talking about Ron." Hermione asked impatiently
"Well, I thought that you always paid attention in classes and read every book assigned."
"I do Ron."
"Well then why don't you remember when professor Flitwick was talking about how every wizard has an energy source that can be felt when performing a spell."
"What are you talking about Ron"
"Wait I forgot that you where absent that day of charms the same day Harry and I learned cheering charms."
"yeah well so what I was absent."
"Well Professor Flitwick told us about an energy that is put into our spells and how to concentrate on them. You remember Harry when your over enthusiastic on spells you put more energy into them." Harry Hermione and Ginny were all very shocked that Ron had remembered this information.
"What is the spell your trying to do Harry maybe I can help." Hermione laughed
"You help you need all the help you can get in charms how are you going to help Ron."
"I don't know but I am the only one who remembers anything about this energy source." Ron walked over to he book and picked it up. He read the short chapter and set the book down.
"Displacio what are you practicing on Harry."
"The cup."
"Displacio cup." Ron said and nothing happened.
"Displacio cup." He knew that he didn't get it right nothing happened it must have been the wand movement. He picked up the book and read over the correct wand movement he gave a practice jab and then flick like a bullwhip.
"Displacio cup." Ron said and a stream of white light shot from his wand it hit the cup and Ginny used a curse the cup to break it went through the first part of the cup but Ron passed out in the middle of the spell and it shattered the second half of the cup.
"Ron are you ok, Ron." the three of them asked but Ron laid there unconscious.
"What happened to him. should we take him to the hospital wing."
"Yeah."
"Mobuliouscorpse." Hermione whispered she seemed to take this really hard she didn't say another word. she walked him out of the room and down towards the Hospital wing. Harry and Ginny followed no one said anything. Ron had never shown any signs of powerful magic but this wasn't just powerful magic this was total energy spells. when they entered the Hospital wing they were greeted by the madam Pomfrey. She seemed at the least bit concerned saying that he just burnt out his energy source and that he would need to rest in the hospital wing. Harry and Ginny sat down beside the bed to stay with him but Madam Pomfrey told them that he should be left alone and that only one of them should stay. Hermione volunteered before Harry and Ginny could speak up and Madam Pomfrey ushered them out the door before they could argue their points. after all Harry was Ron's best friend and Ginny was his little sister.
"This is so unfair we should be able to stay with Ron as well." Ginny did not seemed to be very pleased with Hermione at the time and Harry did not want her to be this way.
"Well Madam Pomfrey said that he was fine Ginny that all e really needed was rest and Hermione was probably protecting our feelings for each other she probably didn't want either of us to be mad at one another so she volunteered."
"I don't know Harry she seems to have an alternative motive in mind don't you think?"
"What do you mean."
"Well they just seem to be arguing more than usual and she might have some other motives on wanting to stay with Ron."
"Well ok. What do you think happened anyways."
"madam Pomfrey said that he just burned out his energy trying such a difficult spell."
"I don't know about that. He didn't seem like he just burned out on just that spell he didn't have the spell up long enough for a burn out."
"I know what you mean it wasn't long enough to burn out his energy source so what was he doing to burn up his energy to begin with."
"Maybe it has something to do with his and Hermione's fight they seemed to be suppressing it through out all of dinner tonight."
"Yeah I think your right Harry."
"What do you think they were fighting about?"
"I am not completely sure about that." Harry and Ginny arrived at the common room and sat on the sofa. Ron wasn't due back from the hospital wing till close to noon and Hermione was going to stay the entire time with Ron. Harry and Ginny decided to take advantage of their absence and sleep in the same bed. Ginny followed Harry up to his room seeing that it was easier to have her climb his stairs than him climb hers. they laid in bed and Ginny thought that it would be a good idea to try out the dream enhancer tonight. He grabbed the crystal and placed it on his bed stand. Ginny giggled picked up the crystal and whispered something inaudible.
"Harry think of the name that you want to contact think of the person remember everything that you can." Harry's mind began to race about Sirus. Overcome with emotions of his dead godfather he bent over and kissed Ginny. Harry was capable of dealing with his thoughts but if this dream enhancer worked he wanted Ginny to be in the dream with him. He moved his hand to the back of her head and pressed her face closer to his. The kiss was romantic and passionate. Feelings of floating and time stopping began to stir between them. Harry pressed himself closer and laid Ginny back on the bed his mouth still pressed up against hers. Their minds weaving around one another's. They eased up on the kiss and pulled back. Ginny laid her head on his shoulder and drifted to sleep. Harry was gripped by excitement and fear what if didn't work. He starred off into space thinking about his godfather. Would tonight be the night that he would see him again. Harry drifted asleep with Ginny's rhythmic breathing pressing into his chest.
Dumbledores ignorance
Harry opened his eyes to see that Ron had moved him and Ginny to the couch and was shaking him to wake him.
"Ron." Harry spoke through him and a now aroused Ginny, "Hermione where are we." They spoke through the same unison whisper and sent chills through the air.
"We found you to on the floor unconscious, we owled Professor Dumbledore, what happened." Ron asked without taking a breathe. Harry and Ginny felt their thoughts race back to before they passed out.
"The dark lord, he has someone that we know, he has." they trailed of straining to remember. The fire burst outward as Professor Dumbledore walked through it.
"Harry, Ginny follow me please." he said. Harry and Ginny got up and exited the common room following him to his office. When they reached it he offered them a seat and they accepted it. He wore a look of mild curiosity shaped with worry.
"Harry, Ginny what happened tonight," Harry and Ginny looked up at him but did not answer. they still didn't know. They search their memories for the answer to their questions. Who was being held captive by the dark lord. They could feel Dumbledore's eyes on them but didn't care this was about figuring out what they saw and felt.
The room was dark and cold. there was a high shrill of laughter stagnant in the air.
"Yes my master, we have captured him and we are sure that he works for Dumbledore." Wormtails voice was quivering as he spoke. He did not look at the face of the cloaked man in the chair. He did not look at them. He merely bowed his head as he spoke. "he was in the order the last time it was formed and was once a friend of mine, but that was before I knew what he was." "Wormtail you are a horrible liar," Harry and Ginny spoke through the mouth of a snakelike creature. "I know that you serve me though so your past is of no concern to me."
"Yes my master,"
"Bring in Remus Wormtail,"
"Yes master." Wormtail left the room and the cold high pitch shrill laughter filled the room. Harry and Ginny passed out. When Harry opened his eyes he looked up to see Professor Dumbledore eyes. Ginny had been awoken also. Their minds still connected and they could feel each other's consciousness.
"Professor," they whispered, "Professor he has Remus Lupin, Voldemort has Remus."
"When do you see this."
"Just now Professor," They spoke in a still hushed voice but there was a sense of urgency that awoke in them as they spoke, "The dark lord knows that you started the order back up and wants to know what your plans are he has Remus."
"Harry, Ginny calm down we know that he has Remus we sent out a rescue crew and they are locating him right now." "That's not good enough Remus will die if someone doesn't do something. We know where he is." Harry and Ginny told Professor Dumbledore were to look and he told them to head back to the dorms. He would speak to them on his return. They had a thousand objections but he had already had them out of his office and was walking through his fire place. It was late and they needed to head back to the dormitory. When they went through the picture they expected Ron and Hermione to start asking questions, but they weren't down in the common room. Harry sat down on his favorite chair and pulled Ginny to his lap. He stared into her eyes and could see everything that she felt behind them. Wormtail walked out of the room and down the stairs to the dungeon where he kept Remus. He started to unchain him keeping his wand on him and the Anti-Disapparating charm so he couldn't escape. He could feel that there was a sense of what he was doing that was wrong. They walked a little bit further and without meaning to or without even realizing that he did Wormtail lifted the Anti- Disapparating charm and Remus was gone. What was he going to tell the dark lord when he didn't even know what happened himself. He felt like he had done something wrong but didn't know what it was. Remus' escape could be his fault he wouldn't lift the Anti-Disapparating charm himself now but how did he disapparate. Wormtail walked into the room and told the dark lord what happened. He was a little less than pleased and placed Wormtail under the Crucious curse. Harry and Ginny felt pain that was beyond anything imaginable. They passed out for the third time that night. Harry and Ginny awoke to the sounds of footsteps entering the room. They looked up and were greeted by Professor Dumbledore and Remus Lupin.
"Harry the search party had been called off, but when I arrived to the location Remus wasn't there. So i decided to check out headquarters and low and behold he was there explaining to the others how Peter let him go and told him to disapparate before they could get to him. This "before they could get to him" was what stuck me as odd because there were only Peter and Tom in the place. so why say they when he was clearly not talking about others."
"Professor," they started in the same voice that was used before. Remus who had not been expecting this was startled by the unison whisper in which they communicated. "We are not sure about it professor but we were there we saw what Peter saw. we where him and we told Remus to go before they could get him we lifted the disapparating charm and he left. We don't remember any more because we fell unconscious. we don't even know what or how it happened but i think we forced our minds into Peter's and made him let Remus go."
"What," Remus said, "do you mean possession, you possessed peter. How?" Everyone's eyes fell on Dumbledore and he was silent he did not know what to say at this point because he honestly did not know how they where doing what they were doing.
"I honestly don't know what is going on truthfully, I only know that they share a connection between them that seems to intensify but all of my studies and knowledge still doesn't know what or how. I will have to think on this a bit more."
"Dumbledore haw long has this been happening. What if the dark lord has something to do with this. What if he is manipulating them to do something that we are not aware of yet."
"Remus I have thought about it and I do not think that it is his control. You see Tom doesn't work around these circumstances he doesn't dwell in the magic's of love."
"I know this but it shouldn't be passed over just because he doesn't think it a huge power." Harry and Ginny agreed with Dumbledore. How could Voldemort do anything to them they were in love. But even the comforting words that Dumbledore spoke and that they thought were not enough to cast away all doubt. there was just to much that was happening to them.
"We stopped a death eater from killing us, why would Voldemort give us a power like this if it could be used against him." Harry's and Ginny's mind were put at ease with this thought. Even Remus seemed to think that it was a valid point and they stopped discussing it. Remus decided that he needed to get going and let the rest of the order know that he was ok. Dumbledore thought that it was best for them to go to sleep and they didn't argue.
"Harry, Ginny I will discuss this matter with you when I get some details but I will not keep you in the dark about it ok."
"Ok professor," They whispered back and they started to climb the stairs to their dormitories. Harry crawled into bed and wished Ginny a good night sleep. Their thoughts were beginning to separate from each other leaving both Ginny's thoughts and Harry's thoughts in their heads distinguishable from one another. They could hear each others thoughts but could not think each others thoughts. Ron was snoring loudly and Harry had a feeling that he wasn't really asleep. Harry was exhausted and he closed his eyes still present in Ginny's mind he drifted asleep. Harry sleep was rather disturbing He saw Sirus die again but this time it was different he saw Ginny with him and she seemed to be afraid of what was happening Bellatrix ran out of the room and Harry followed out of habit. Ginny moved along side of him keeping his pace. they reached the circular room to see Bellatrix run out the other side. The doors closed and the walls spun. Harry said with a lack of enthusiasm "where is the exit I want out" the room stopped and the door out swung open. Harry walked through it and Ginny followed. What was happening he had this dream almost every night since Sirus had died, Ginny was never in it. Ginny looked a bit shocked that she was here also. She seemed just as confused about being there as Harry felt.
"Harry why am I in this dream. I have no memory of this happening. Are we still connected in our minds."
"Yes I can still hear your thoughts cant you hear mine."
"A little but it isn't clear."
"That's because I didn't want it to be clear," a high cold voice said, "I don't want you two knowing too much about why I am doing this."
"Voldemort you are not real I know when my dreams are real my scar hurts." Harry woke up the room was dark and his scar began to sting. He got up and went down stairs in his pajamas. Ginny was there and she looked as if she was going to be sick. She sat down on the couch and looked into Harry's eyes. He sat down beside her.
"Harry what was that, what was it that I saw. why was I in your dreams." Harry wasn't sure what he should say he didn't know no one has ever been it that dream with him. He knew that she was in the dream because of what was happening to them but he did not know why what was happening to them would produce her in his dreams.
"Ginny wait remember you were still connected to me, or at least still in my mind. We still shared that connection before we went to sleep. Ginny what ever it was it has nothing to do with Voldemort he is not doing this to us. My scar hurts whenever I actually talk to him and it only gave a slight prickly sensation. It was not him he was just our fear acting out of us in our dream."
"I know Harry its just that I don't know anything about this and neither does anyone else. No one has ever heard about this happening. So why is it happening to us. I want to know what is happening to us. I want to know why we are like this. What did we do. What is going on. I just cant think straight Harry. I need some answers and no one seems to be able to give us any."
"I know Ginny I feel the same way you do. I want to know but no one does. I never thought that I would live to see the day that something would stump Dumbledore. It is kind of weird you know."
"Yeah I know what you mean Harry I just wish that we didn't have to be the ones that stumped Dumbledore. I wish that he could tell us that nothing bad is happening to us. That what we are going through is a gift."
"It is a gift Ginny, nothing bad is happening to us and even if it turns out that Voldemort is doing this to us Dumbledore told me that we still have a choice. When I was in my second year he told me that it is not our abilities that make us who we are it is our choices and I believe that we wont do anything to harm anyone. Ginny listen to me," Harry said grabbing Ginny's shoulders, "what ever this might turn out to be we will be fine. If this does turn out to be Voldemorts doing then we will use it against him. We will be on a constant alert about him until we find out what is happening. I believe Dumbledore when he said that he does not think it is his doing but incase that he is wrong about it we will still have the upper hand because we wont let him use us ok and we are stronger together Ginny we can do this. I never mastered Occlumency before Ginny and I still cant do it. I have only been able to do it when I am connected to you. and I don't think that what we did was an actual Occlumency spell or protection. Snape never mentioned to me that it would force the other person across the floor. There has got to be another explanation to it. Ginny look at me."
"Yes Harry," She said looking from the floor to his eyes.
"We will be ok Ginny. Come on lets go back to sleep."
"Harry can we just sit here for a while."
"Yeah Ginny we can." Harry and Ginny sat on the couch in quiet. Harry held Ginny in his arms. He was in the middle of a place that he didn't recognize and was all alone. There was a surreal vibe in the air that placed his hair on the ends. something didn't settle with him about this place it was a dark shadow covered field. raining in the middle of the night. the air was cold and brisk and not welcoming in any sense. He walked down what felt like a road that stretched on forever the night was growing colder and more violent He walked down the road with a sense of something foreboding ahead but he didn't not know where he was going or what he was going for. Ginny stirred in her sleep and Harry awoke. He looked around the common room. He and Ginny must have fallen asleep in each others arms.
"Ginny," Harry said gently shaking her to wake her, "Ginny wake up." She did not move so Harry, not having the heart to actually try to stir her while she looked so peaceful and asleep, slipped out from under her and walked up to his dorm. He grabbed a quilt and headed back downstairs to Ginny who was still fast asleep on the couch. He lifted her up and curled up on the couch. She snuggled up to him and he threw the quilt over the two of them. Harry fell back asleep. His dreams where a bit more comprehendible to him. He and Ginny where outside of the burrow behind the pond. He was kissing her deeply as she was kissing back hard and hot. The urge to undress one another began to surface. time had stopped as a fish had leaped from the waters surface. All sounds quieted and motions only existed between the two of them. Harry overcome by the urge to rip off all of her clothes had Ginny naked lying on his cloak. Ginny was tearing at Harry's violently trying to expose his naked body that awaited underneath them. Harry began to pull at his pants. They had them off and she laid on top of him, both naked and wanting more than just this feeling of their skin touching wanting more than these passionate kisses wanting inevitably to have Harry inserted into Ginny and to make love or fuck or have sex or whatever this act of passion, love, and lust was to be named it didn't matter to them they just wanted and needed this. Ginny reached down and guided Harry's penis to the opening of her vagina the feelings of something powerful building up started and they felt the sensations of flying on their brooms Harry ignored the overwhelming sensations and thrusted forward, out of what felt like a spasm, forward He entered Ginny and she gasped in pain and pleasure as she felt the thin folds of flesh that where her virginity tear open but the stinging sensation of her hymen being ripped where replaced by the orgasmic rhythms and lustful pleasure of Harry's penis slowly guiding itself forward and then retracting. Ginny felt pleasure beyond comprehension as the overwhelming power that built up in them was released in the form of a wave of energy spilling her soul into him. They connected their souls and intertwined their minds seeping through their conscious selves and entering their subconscious entities. connections at this level that had not been experience. pleasure caused by the rhythmic motions of Harry's and Ginny's bodies pressing into one another and moving away from the focal point. there was nothing else to think about nothing else to feel all emotions were used to concentrate on this focal point this spot and sensation of rhythm and friction. there wasn't anything in the world that mattered to them but this moment this absence of time this created universe that was theirs no one can visit it. It was theirs to feel and be.
Harry woke up to a beautiful morning still holding a waking Ginny in his arms. she looked into his eyes and whispered I love you. She kissed him and went up to her room to change her clothes. Harry walked up to is room to change as well and Ron greeted him with a look of confusion and then sudden misunderstanding.
"You didn't did you."
"Didn't what exactly Ron." "Well you know you didn't do it with her did you." understanding soon found Harry and he looked at Ron half wanting to be sly and look as if he had but then decided that he did not need to worry anymore than he was already.
"Ron you know that I wouldn't do anything like that with her until I am ready to. With Ginny it isn't like I am trying to. I am happy just spending the time with her. Besides every time we kiss or touch weird things happen that we still don't have answers to and we don't want to take it that far."
"Ok well good because she is still my sister Harry."
"I know but she can make up her own mind and we don't think that it is a good idea to do it yet."
"What do you mean, you've talked about it with her."
"Ron the subject kind of has its ways of popping up one way or another between us." Ron seemed to be a little disturbed by the way Harry said what he said.
"Harry what do you mean pop up."
"Ron its not like that its just that when Ginny and I kiss certain urges come to play but we don't act on them entirely."
"Entirely. So you act on them a little bit."
"Yeah but I don't see why you are getting so upset at this we haven't done anything ok." Ron didn't want to hear anymore about the subject and walked out of the room. Harry, who felt very confused about Ron's behavior but at the same time felt that Ron was being out of hand, continued to get dressed. He finished and hurried after Ron. When he entered the common room Ron wasn't there instead Hermione was in the room alone.
"Have fun last night Harry."
"Not you too. You don't think that we sleep together do you Hermione."
"No not the way that you mean those words but I do know that you did actually sleep next to her. Ron didn't seem to happy about that Harry what did you say to him."
"I told him that Ginny and I don't act on the impulses we feel."
"You told Ron that you feel those impulses about his sister."
"Hermione, well yeah i did but that doesn't give him the right to be upset at me. Ginny is old enough to make up her own mind and we discussed that we didn't want to do that right now."
"Did you tell Ron that Harry."
"Yeah."
"Harry why did you tell him that."
"He asked."
"Harry right now there is a lot of weird things that are happening to you and Ginny and the connecting your minds gives Ron the impression that you might be forcing your thoughts onto Ginny."
"Ron cant be thick enough to believe that."
"I think that Ron believes that Harry."
"He cant there is no way that I am forcing my thoughts onto Ginny so she starts to think about sex," Harry's voice had raised in the heat of the discussion. How could Ron be so thick.
"Harry I know that you aren't Ginny has been talking to me about sex for some time now. But much to my displeasure I don't know some of the things that she asks about. But Harry, Ron doesn't know that Ginny thinks about it. To him she is still innocent little Ginny."
"She still is innocent she still has her virginity Hermione."
"I know she tells me quite a bit about it so you don't have to yell at me."
"Sorry I just cant believe that Ron can get like this."
"Why not it is his sister we are talking about here. I think that it is good of him to care for Ginny that much."
"Yeah I do to but you would think that he would trust his best friend a little more than this wouldn't you."
"He will get over it Harry just give him time." Ginny walked down from her room and entered the common room. she gave Harry a peck on the cheek and Hermione snickered and then something dawned on her.
"Harry how come I could see that."
"I don't know Hermione you usually cant see much but I guess that it was because it was more of a peck than a real kiss.
"Give her a real kiss Harry I want to see something."
"alright." Harry leaned into kiss Ginny his lips touched hers and her tongue slipped out to massage his lips. the sounds of the wind outside and the slight snickering that Hermione was doing emptied the common room. Harry and Ginny where alone in there little universe. He could feel her eyes gazing around at Hermione and then let up on the kiss. They backed up on the kiss and the room melted back into the real world of Hogwarts. Hermione who was snickering when she moved again jumped up and raced to the library saying that she would see them later on. Harry and Ginny where alone in the common room. Eyes staring into one another moving their lips closer to one another. Harry leaned into her to put their lips together but instead hit her ear as she turned to see what was scraping the window on the other side of the common room. Harry looked in the direction that she was looking and saw an owl outside of the window tapping on the window with a letter and a parcel attached to its feet. He jumped up and moved towards the window to let the owl in. When he opened the window the owl flew in and landed on the table over by the couch. Ginny picked up the owl and released the package from his leg. the owl flew back out of the open window and off into the warm morning sky.
Ginny opened the letter and read it out to Harry in was from Dumbledore.
Dear Harry and Ginny
I would like to see you in my office after lunch today. There is a subject that we need to discuss concerning you two. I will expect you two to meet me at 1:00 in my office travel by Floo powder. I have sent some to use in the parcel. I shall see you in a few hours.
Harry opened up the package that was on the table and put the floo powder down on the table. It was now eleven o'clock in the morning and Harry was feeling a bit hungry. So he and Ginny went down to the Great Hall to get something to eat Ron was there when they had arrived and he was looking at Harry with a bit of remorse in his eyes. Harry sat down next to Ron and Ginny sat down on the other side of Harry. Hermione was not in the Great Hall.
"Ron I am sorry I know that this must be hard for you to take, you know me dating your sister and all, so I will do my best to make you feel more comfortable."
"Harry don't worry about it I know that you wont hurt her it is just a little hard for me to hear some of it."
"Wait Ron what's going on are you and Harry fighting because he is dating me. Ron what are you doing what is going on. I am old enough to make my own decisions."
"Yes Ginny you are and I am your older brother and I have the right to worry about all of the decisions that you make."
"Fine Ron you worry about it but don't let your older brother syndrome ruin your friendship with Harry." Harry Ron and Ginny started to eat their lunch and Hermione walked in with her backpack full of books from the library.
"Harry Ginny I found a little bit of information on what is happening to you two." Everyone stopped in anticipation wanting to hear what she had to say.
"Ok well like I said there isn't a lot of information on this subject so mind you this wont explain much and you might even know some of what i have to say."
"Just say it Hermione." Ginny was pleading from her nerves they might figure out what was going on.
"Well the books say that you two are experiencing a connection between your minds and bodies because of an energy source that is both infinitely ancient and forever young. it has existed throughout time and is the root of all true magic. its power source is still being studied but no one knows what it really is. This source of energy is awakening inside both of you and that stumps me but this source of energy is pure and full of life. It doesn't say why you two are actually connected but this is the reason you two are connected. it says that the bond that you two share links both you and your power as wizards it strengthens the both of you and it strengthens itself through you. You both are kind of like a host to this energy but I still don't know why it picked you. I doesn't say in this book that this energy actually does this it just says that the power it has can grow inside of two people that love each other. So i am still at a loss on why but I think that this is for sure what is happening to you."
"Hermione are you saying that we are a host and that this thing is a parasite."
"No its not like that it well kind of but more like an energy symbiotic it needs you but not to live and you can experience a gain by having it. But even if you don't like it I am afraid that I don't know how to get rid of it so you are basically stuck with it." Harry and Ginny walked out of the Great Hall with their thoughts racing Hermione told them that they were being used but what for. While this did explain a little bit of information it did not help any. It in fact made things more confusing as it opened a whole knew door of questions and they still didn't know its intentions with them. They walked up to the common room and sat on the couch. Ginny put her hand into her pocket and then pulled it back out she had the note that Dumbledore had sent them.
"Harry we can just ask Dumbledore about it but even he wont be able to explain it all. I am sure that he will want to know about it though."
"Yeah i suppose that you are right." it was only twelve thirty so they still had a half an hour to wait before they flooed over to his office so they decided to just sit there and not do anything. It was the longest half hour that he had ever sat through he kept looking at his watch and was sure that he saw it moving backwards then started moving forwards like it realized that he was looking. finely the half an hour was up and they grabbed the handful of floo powder each Harry stepped into the fire place and said "Hogwarts, Professor Dumbledores office" the room slowly dissolved and he began to spin fast then he came to a stop as he burst out of the fire place. Professor Dumbledore was at his desk smiling as Ginny came through the fire place behind Harry.
"Sit down please." They both took a seat in front of his desk. He looked at them both, his piercing eyes gazed into Harry's and then into Ginny's. Harry knew that there was something that he needed to tell him but he wasn't sure on how to be polite about it.
"Professor," Harry started, "Hermione told us that or well she believes that we are or have this connection because of some powerful old force. She said something about it being forever young and infinitely ancient. she thinks that it sought us out and needs us." Dumbledore looked at Harry and began to think his mind seemed to be racing at Harry's words. then he looked up at Harry and began.
"I think that miss Granger is correct when she says this. It is beyond me why i didn't think of this but it puts a new light on things. Remus and I have been through an ordeal with this he seems to be convinced that Voldemort has something to do with it. I assured him that he was worrying over nothing but that i would keep an eye on you two. So this power that miss Granger told you two sought you out did she mention what it was."
"No professor she didn't know what it was."
"Well that would be because there is no actual account on what it is. But Harry if you recall a few months ago I told you that the department of mysteries holds a power source that is being studied."
"Yes you said that it was the source of pure love."
"Yes Harry I did and that is what it is that is in you. If i am not mistaken Harry this source of love has been in you from the beginning since your mom sacrificed herself to save you. It is now going in you and miss Weasley as your love gets stronger. As your love develops between you two you will find that your power grows." Harry thought about this and decided to ask him why they could feel their selves in each other minds that they seemed to be able to do more than just stop time they could hear their thoughts and move both bodies. Dumbledore however did not have any answers for Harry and Ginny. either that or he refused to let them know what he knew on it.
"Professor," Harry started, "when Ginny and I make out we seem to get lost in each other and as much as it is a comfort to be lost in Ginny we both seem to be afraid of not being able to get back what is going to happen when this link between us wins are we going to be lost in each other not really one person."
"Harry, Ginny listen to me right now you two are experiencing something new and you are not experienced enough to control it. You connection between one another is releasing powerful magic once you experience it enough you will have control over it and everything that has been happening to you will not seem so weird. alright now both of you I need to get to some things so off you get." Harry and Ginny walked out the door and down the revolving staircase the gargoyle jumped out of the way, they moved passed it and it walked back to its post. they went back up to the common room. Ron and Hermione where there arguing inaudibly through the portrait and Harry and Ginny not wanting to walk in on it decided to walk down to the Quidditch pitch for a broom ride. they got down stairs and out the doors when Ginny realized that they where stupid because their brooms where up in their rooms.
"Don't worry Ginny we have are wands and we can summon them using the summoning charm."
"What oh yeah."
"Accio broom." Harry called and his broom flew out the closed window shattering glass all over the grounds below.
"Arculous Repairo," Ginny said laughing.
"What i forgot that the window was closed."
"Accio broom," Ginny said not having to open her window because it was already open. they mounted their brooms and kicked of heading towards the pitch. Harry chased her on her broom up and down the pitch her flying skills where very impressive he was actually having a hard time catching her on his broom even though he was riding the faster model. he made moves to tag her but she turned at unexpected angles and twisted around her broom stick handle that even though he could catch the broom Ginny's rolls where making her an almost impossible target. Harry watched her movements and studied her flying patterns. Once he got down what she was doing and that she favored rolling to her right because she was right handed he caught her and she couldn't get away from him fast enough to lose him. she finally gave up and decided that they should turn in. it was getting late the sun was setting. they touched down on the ground by the front doors of the castle and walked in Harry was complimenting Ginny on her flying skills and telling her that if she didn't try out for the Gryffindor team that he would be very upset. they walked over to the Great Hall to eat dinner Ron and Hermione were sitting in the room next to each other their fight seemed to be forgotten about but Harry knew that it was probable Hermione suggesting that they put their differences aside. He didn't want to know what had caused the fight but was sure that it had something to do with something Ron said to her. He seemed to have a gift for saying things at the right moment to piss her off. Dinner was very peaceful no one said a word. Ron seemed to have something still boiling under the surface but was biting his tongue and covering his jagged movements while he ate. after dinner Harry and Ginny got up and asked Ron and Hermione if they wanted to play a game of exploding snaps in the common room. they all left and went up to the common room. when they entered no one really wanted to play exploding snaps. Hermione and Ron seemed to be at each others throats their fight had not gone away and although neither spoke a word their glances at each other where enough to show Harry and Ginny that they didn't feel like being in the same room together. Ron went up to the boys dormitory and Hermione went up to the girls. Harry and Ginny where left downstairs alone and decided to take advantage of the moment. Harry picked up the book of practical defense spells that Hermione had given him for his birthday and they started to read over the books contents. Harry's eyes stopped on a charm that was called a displacement charm. he decided to flip the book to that page. Ginny who had not seen what he saw was a bit curious as to see why he change the page. when he reach the page of the displacement charm Ginny's eyes widened she knew about the spell and wanted to perform it. Harry and Ginny both took a shot at the incantation the problem was the spell was insanely hard to do. It required more concentration than even the patronous charm. This time however instead of a happy thought or even a thought at all it required them to concentrate on their energy that they used for the spell. They had never concentrated on this energy before and did not know what it was that they should concentrate on exactly.
"Displacio Cup" Harry said pointing his wand at a cup on the table. Ginny sent a shattering charm at the cup and it broke.
"It didn't work Harry. Arculous Repairo." the cup which was in pieces reassembled itself and stood on the table where it was. Harry sat down and picked up the book he read and reread the chapter on the charm but it wasn't much use it didn't tell him exactly what he was looking for they needed Hermione's help.
"Ginny can you go and get Hermione I think that we need her."
"Ok." Ginny ran up to the girls dormitory and retrieved Hermione. She walked downstairs a bit apprehensive. When she saw that Ron wasn't there she walked over to the couch and sat down.
"So what do you need." she asked.
"Well we are having trouble with this spell it is insanely difficult and we were wondering if we could get your advice."
"I knew that you would like that book Harry."
"Yes actually I do like this book but this spell the displacement charm is very complicated we don't know what to concentrate on."
"Well let me see if I can help." Hermione grabbed the book and read the short chapter on the displacement charm. "Well It says to concentrate on the energy you put into the spell."
"Ok Hermione what is that."
"I am not really sure about what that is. I know that you put energy into every spell but I don't know that energy feels like." there was a sound of wind being forced through teeth by the boys staircase. Harry looked over and saw that Ron was standing there.
"What are you talking about Ron." Hermione asked impatiently
"Well, I thought that you always paid attention in classes and read every book assigned."
"I do Ron."
"Well then why don't you remember when professor Flitwick was talking about how every wizard has an energy source that can be felt when performing a spell."
"What are you talking about Ron"
"Wait I forgot that you where absent that day of charms the same day Harry and I learned cheering charms."
"yeah well so what I was absent."
"Well Professor Flitwick told us about an energy that is put into our spells and how to concentrate on them. You remember Harry when your over enthusiastic on spells you put more energy into them." Harry Hermione and Ginny were all very shocked that Ron had remembered this information.
"What is the spell your trying to do Harry maybe I can help." Hermione laughed
"You help you need all the help you can get in charms how are you going to help Ron."
"I don't know but I am the only one who remembers anything about this energy source." Ron walked over to he book and picked it up. He read the short chapter and set the book down.
"Displacio what are you practicing on Harry."
"The cup."
"Displacio cup." Ron said and nothing happened.
"Displacio cup." He knew that he didn't get it right nothing happened it must have been the wand movement. He picked up the book and read over the correct wand movement he gave a practice jab and then flick like a bullwhip.
"Displacio cup." Ron said and a stream of white light shot from his wand it hit the cup and Ginny used a curse the cup to break it went through the first part of the cup but Ron passed out in the middle of the spell and it shattered the second half of the cup.
"Ron are you ok, Ron." the three of them asked but Ron laid there unconscious.
"What happened to him. should we take him to the hospital wing."
"Yeah."
"Mobuliouscorpse." Hermione whispered she seemed to take this really hard she didn't say another word. she walked him out of the room and down towards the Hospital wing. Harry and Ginny followed no one said anything. Ron had never shown any signs of powerful magic but this wasn't just powerful magic this was total energy spells. when they entered the Hospital wing they were greeted by the madam Pomfrey. She seemed at the least bit concerned saying that he just burnt out his energy source and that he would need to rest in the hospital wing. Harry and Ginny sat down beside the bed to stay with him but Madam Pomfrey told them that he should be left alone and that only one of them should stay. Hermione volunteered before Harry and Ginny could speak up and Madam Pomfrey ushered them out the door before they could argue their points. after all Harry was Ron's best friend and Ginny was his little sister.
"This is so unfair we should be able to stay with Ron as well." Ginny did not seemed to be very pleased with Hermione at the time and Harry did not want her to be this way.
"Well Madam Pomfrey said that he was fine Ginny that all e really needed was rest and Hermione was probably protecting our feelings for each other she probably didn't want either of us to be mad at one another so she volunteered."
"I don't know Harry she seems to have an alternative motive in mind don't you think?"
"What do you mean."
"Well they just seem to be arguing more than usual and she might have some other motives on wanting to stay with Ron."
"Well ok. What do you think happened anyways."
"madam Pomfrey said that he just burned out his energy trying such a difficult spell."
"I don't know about that. He didn't seem like he just burned out on just that spell he didn't have the spell up long enough for a burn out."
"I know what you mean it wasn't long enough to burn out his energy source so what was he doing to burn up his energy to begin with."
"Maybe it has something to do with his and Hermione's fight they seemed to be suppressing it through out all of dinner tonight."
"Yeah I think your right Harry."
"What do you think they were fighting about?"
"I am not completely sure about that." Harry and Ginny arrived at the common room and sat on the sofa. Ron wasn't due back from the hospital wing till close to noon and Hermione was going to stay the entire time with Ron. Harry and Ginny decided to take advantage of their absence and sleep in the same bed. Ginny followed Harry up to his room seeing that it was easier to have her climb his stairs than him climb hers. they laid in bed and Ginny thought that it would be a good idea to try out the dream enhancer tonight. He grabbed the crystal and placed it on his bed stand. Ginny giggled picked up the crystal and whispered something inaudible.
"Harry think of the name that you want to contact think of the person remember everything that you can." Harry's mind began to race about Sirus. Overcome with emotions of his dead godfather he bent over and kissed Ginny. Harry was capable of dealing with his thoughts but if this dream enhancer worked he wanted Ginny to be in the dream with him. He moved his hand to the back of her head and pressed her face closer to his. The kiss was romantic and passionate. Feelings of floating and time stopping began to stir between them. Harry pressed himself closer and laid Ginny back on the bed his mouth still pressed up against hers. Their minds weaving around one another's. They eased up on the kiss and pulled back. Ginny laid her head on his shoulder and drifted to sleep. Harry was gripped by excitement and fear what if didn't work. He starred off into space thinking about his godfather. Would tonight be the night that he would see him again. Harry drifted asleep with Ginny's rhythmic breathing pressing into his chest.
