"Remaining Horcruxes?" the voice asked again, but this time it started to quaver.
Harry turned around quickly and came face-to-face with a man that looked like Dumbledore, but it wasn't him.
"Yes, that's what I said. Pardon me, but who are you?"
"My name is Auburn Dumbledore. Albus was my brother. I have come to talk to you, Ginny, Hermione, Ron, and Headmistress McGonagall."
"What about?"
"The reading of Albus' will and to talk about a certain bond between two of the most valuable people in the world."
"Ok, let's go get the others and head up to the Headmistress's office."
They walked over to where the others were sitting and Harry said, "Hey, guys, this is Auburn Dumbledore, Professor Dumbledore's brother. We have to go with him."
"Why?" Ron asked.
"I will explain in the quietness of the Headmistress's office," Auburn said, "but on the way I will explain a bond to which I have already mentioned to Harry here, but there is also another bond that's connected with that, but we will talk about that inside.
"So, Harry, have you broken up with Ginny yet?"
Harry paled at that thought. "Yes, sir, I have. Why?"
"Well, its about to interesting. Well, you see, the bond I was talking about was between you and Ginny and now that you have broken up with her it's only going to get stronger. You know that night you two were down in the chamber? Well, that's when you created that bond, Harry. You promised that you wouldn't let her die. And that promise has been forged between you two. If you ever get hurt, Harry, she can keep you from dying. But you two need to get back together and strengthen your guy's bond so much that you two will never die when you are at an arms length away from each other. And no, it is not immortality, but yes it is the same theory."
"How do you know all of this?"
"Albus told me it the night after you two got back from the chamber, just in case something ever happened to him. And his plan is still being kept alive, I guess. So, are you two just going to stand there or are you gonna get back together?"
Harry looked over at Ginny. Ginny looked at him. Their eyes met and Harry walked over to her and took her hands in his, brought her to her feet and smile his stupid grin and they kissed.
They broke apart when they heard Auburn laughing, and Ginny blushed while Harry still had his stupid grin on, but even wider.
"OK, then let's get up to the Headmistress' office, shall we?" said Auburn.
When they reached the gargoyle on the seventh floor, it opened automatically.
"How did it do that?" Ron asked Auburn, but it was Harry that answered.
"Dumbledore told me once that only Dumbledore blood can do that without…" Harry slapped himself across the forehead. "Of course! I'm a Dumbledore!" Everybody looked at him with shocked faces, all of them except for Auburn, who was smiling.
"Yes, my great-great-grandson."
"How-"
"Albus' cousin, twice removed, married your father's great-cousin. His name was James Brian Potter."
They had reached the top of the spiral staircase, and there was also a door ahead of them, which opened automatically also. Headmistress McGonagall was standing there looking as stern as ever, but with a sad face on.
When she saw Auburn, she screamed and fainted. Auburn ran up to her and revived her immediately. Again she screamed, but this time she screamed of joy.
"Will you settle down, please? I am not Albus. I am his brother Auburn, remember?"
"Wh- oh, god! I thought you were dead, Auburn. It's been such a long time!"
"Yes it has, and I was dead, but that story is for another time. I have come to read Albus' will, along with some stories from the past for Harry and Ginny's benefit. I have already told them of their rare bond, along with being my great-great-grandson."
"Oh, goodness me, have you?"
"Yes, I have. There is also another bond of which all of you don't know about. I don't even knew if Albus knew about-"
"I did, Auburn."
"Is that you, Albus? And if so, where are you?"
"Look at my portrait."
"But you aren't supposed to be awake yet! How are you awake?" said McGonagall.
"I put a spell on this painting to wake me after my funeral when my brother and Harry walked through the door at the same time, isn't that right, Auburn?"
"Yes it is. I helped him with it. I also told him of Harry being our grandson, or shall I say, Gryffindore's rightful heir?"
