Chapter Three: Truth Revealed
"So you going to tell me what's going on with you and Miss Ginny, Bambi?" Sirius asked Harry. Harry started to blush a deep red, which only really gave Sirius more ammunition for humiliation. "Ah, so there is something going on between you too. I like her, Harry. She's got fire in her heart. Just like your mother had." Harry smiled at the thought that Ginny might resemble his mother in some way.
"There isn't anything going on between us, at least not right now." Harry stated to his godfather. This only made Sirius more confused, than he already was.
"What are you talking about kiddo?" Sirius asked his young godson. Harry sighed and sat farther down in his chair, by Sirius bed.
"There was another prophecy that Dumbledore showed me tonight. It has to do with Ginny…and me." Harry said slowly. He wasn't sure what to say to his godfather at this time. He knew that he had to tell him the truth. If he couldn't talk to Sirius about this, than whom could he talk to? Sirius is the only father figure that he has ever known.
"Well? Are you going to tell me what is about, or am I going to have to guess?" Sirius asked him. Harry let out a small laugh. If one thing was true about Sirius Black it was he was as blunt as a wooden board.
"It all comes down to the fact that Ginny's my soul mate. That and the fact that we're the only ones who can bring Voldemort down." Sirius's smile slowly faded. Harry and Ginny, soul mates? Sirius thought. Something like that hadn't been heard of in centuries. How could Harry be bonded with Ginny? Did he even like her? Not to mention the fact that a fifteen year old and a fourteen year old are the only ones who can defeat the mad man, is completely bonkers. Molly's going to through a fit over this. Ginny was the only girl born into the Weasley family in over six decades, maybe even more.
"So you and Ginny, are more than just friends than? Wait, why is it only up to you two to defeat Voldemort?" Sirius asked thoughtfully.
"Well, apparently my mother was a direct descendant to Merlin himself…"
"And your father was from the Gryffindor line, I know that. When did your mother find out her linage? "Sirius asked Harry.
"Before she died. At least that's what Dumbledore had told me." Harry replied.
"So what about Ginny than? I can assume that you haven't told her this news yet?" Sirius asked him. Harry just shook his head. How could Harry tell her? He knew that he had to eventually tell Ginny, but now didn't seem like the right time.
"Harry you have to tell her. She has the right to know about it." Harry nodded his head in agreement. After a long pause Sirius finally asked, "How do you feel about Ginny? I'm guessing that's why you wanted to talk to me about something like this." Harry nodded.
"I can't even describe it. I never thought of Ginny in any romantic way. She's Ron's sister. I've always just thought of her as that. But now…" Harry trailed off. Not really sure what to say other than that he knew he felt something more for her than just a friendship.
"But now?" Sirius asked him.
"But now, I see her, and I want to get to know her. I want to know who she is and I want to spend all the time I can with her. What scares me more is the fact that I'm not sure if it's my own feelings for her, or if it's because I know about the soon-to-be bond." Harry said.
"Harry, I'm going to tell you something that I didn't even tell your parents. You know that your parents, the Weasleys, and the Longbottoms, were all in the Order right?" Harry nodded, so Sirius continued. "Well you guys were all pretty young when the first battle started. Your parents, Molly, and Arthur, were all close friends. So on occasions, they would all get together. Alice and Frank would bring Neville. Molly and Arthur brought, Bill, Charlie, Percy, the twins and Ron, and eventually Ginny, when she was born. Harry you where over a year old and Ginny, well she was over a month however; you never stopped looking at her.
"The moment you saw her Harry, you never stopped looking at her. She was the only thing that would calm you sometimes. Ginny has always, and will always be your soul mate Harry. It doesn't mean that you don't love her or possible will love her, it just means that your bond with her is more special than anyone could ever think it would be. Your bond with her is yours, and hers. Doesn't mean that you have to be terrified of it Harry. Embrace it, love it, but never fear it." Harry tried desperately to try and sink in all that Sirius had just told him. He cared for Ginny even way back then? Even though he was just a year old, he still thought that Ginny was the most amazing person he had ever known. Dinner had come up as Harry and Sirius continued to talk. There were so many things that Harry still didn't understand. Like why the Weasleys' never told him that they knew his parents and why didn't they tell him about his interest in Ginny when she was only a month old. All Sirius could think of, was the fact that they didn't want to hurt him any more than he was about his parents. This, Harry could understand.
After several hours in the Hospital Wing, Harry found himself on the way to the Common Room. It was decided that Harry would tell Ginny the truth…tonight. No matter how hard it would be or how embarrassing it would turn out.
The only thing that Harry could think about was Ginny. Seeing her blazing red hair, and those chocolate eyes; he liked so much. Sirius was right about one thing, Ginny was a fierce person. Not only was she incredibly beautiful, but she had a warm laugh that made Harrys' heart skip beats. She was powerful, and most importantly she was very independent. She's smart and funny. Harry soon found himself intrigued with Ginny. Not only was she someone that he had known when he was just a year old, but she was some one that he knew he cared for. Differently than he cared for Ron and Hermione. Hermione was more of sister to him than Ginny, herself was. Harry was walking up the stairs to the portrait hole when he realized just how deeply he truly cared for Ginny. He might even say that he was falling in love with the young women.
"Lollipops." Harry gave the password to the Fat Lady; she moved aside to reveal the common room. Harry looked around the room, trying to find Ron or Hermione, no such luck. He looked over to the fireplace; there was Ginny sitting on the big couch. The fire, made her skin glow faintly in the dark. Harry was enchanted with the young red head. He slowly walked over to her. She looked up from her charms textbook and smiled softly at the boy standing in front of her.
"May I join you?" Harry asked her. She smiled and nodded. Harry sat right beside her. He looked into the fire for a couple of minutes. Not sure what to say to Ginny, he turned his head and watched her read for several moments, until she caught him looking intently at her.
"What is it Harry?" Ginny asked. Not upset, not concerned, however curious. Harry stared at Ginny for a while longer, not wanting to avert his eyes for anything in the world. He felt comfort coming for her gaze. Eventually, he gathered the courage to finally speak.
"Ginny, there was something else that happened to me tonight. In Dumbledore's office. There was another prophecy that wasn't at the Ministry. It's about me…and you." Harry said. Not really sure where to start. So instead he just continued on telling her everything that he had learned that night. The fact that Ginny was his soul mate, that his parents where from very powerful blood lines, he even told her about when they were babies. Towards the end, Ginny was speechless.
Her mind was going in every direction. She felt a connection to Harry ever since she was little; maybe this bond had something to do with that. Harry Potter was her soul mate and she was his. Harry really did care for her the way she wanted. She suddenly didn't feel like a school girl with a crush on the most popular guy in school. She just felt like a girl in front of a guy she really fancied.
"So where does that leave us than, Harry?" Ginny asked him as soon as she gathered her thoughts into one place and one coherent thought proses.
"Well, maybe we should try and start dating. I want to get to know you Ginny, more than I already do. That is if you want too." Ginny smiled at Harry. Of course it's what she wanted. Ginny threw her arms around Harry's neck and pulled herself into him for a warm embrace. Harry wrapped his arms around her waist, returning the hug; his head dug into her hair, as he breathed in her sweet aroma.
"Oh Harry, of course I would love to be your girlfriend. I've wanted to be for so long." At that Ginny blushed a deep Weasley red. Harry laughed at her comment and her embarrassment. Harry loosened his grip on her so she was now facing him. He looked into those deep brown eyes, and said, "I know you have Ginny, so have I."
They sat on the couch in front of the fire for several more minutes before either of them realized what the time was. Harry got up first and stretched his hand out to her to help her up. She took it, as she got up she was in close proximity with the man that would soon be hers for the rest of her life. Ginny smiled, her face turned into a slight pink. Which Harry found to be a very attractive feature on the young red head, Harry walked her over to the girls' stair case.
"G'night Ginny, I'll meet you here for breakfast tomorrow?" He asked her. She nodded slightly and said, "G'night Harry." Harry bent down slowly and placed a soft tender kiss on her cheek. With that Ginny left for her dorm; Harry fallowed her example and went to his own. His dorm mates where already asleep peacefully. Harry looked over at a snoring Ron, and hoped that once he told him the new development between himself and Ginny; he would still be his best mate. Harry got into his pajamas, and crawled slowly into bed. His thoughts focused on Ginny and what they had agreed on. Ginny Weasley was his girlfriend. Harry fell soon into a blissful sleep.
