A/N: I know that I haven't updated in a while but certain Xbox 360 and PS3 games were released and all my spare time went into playing them. I finished this chapter and am working on the next one. I will be updating on a weekly basis again.

Harry woke up the next morning. He smiled at the memory of the watch Ginny gave him and the snogging afterwards. He couldn't remember going up to Ron's room though. Then he felt some weight on him. He opened his eyes saw that the weight was in the form of Ginny. Harry gently shook Ginny awake. She opened her eyes groggily and smiled.

"Did we fall asleep? What time is it?" Ginny asked with a yawn.

Harry laughed and took out the wonderful present from Ginny and opened it. He saw that it was eight thirty in the morning. He gaped at the time he didn't expect that they slept that long. "Its eight thirty Ginny."

Ginny's eyes widened. "Wow." Then she noticed that there was a blanket on top of her and Harry. She noticed a piece of parchment on the bed and she picked it up and read.

I came here looking for Harry last night but I saw that you had fallen asleep on him... I was going to wake you up and take Harry out of here but you looked so peaceful and happy in his arms hat I just couldn't. I put a blanket over you two and left. Don't worry about Mum or Dad finding you guys. I made a convincing form of Harry sleeping in his camp bed with some pillows and stuff.

Ron

P.S: Remind me not to kill Harry when I see him ok?

Ginny laughed at the ending of the note. She handed it to Harry and he scoffed at the post script. "Well, I guess we got lucky this time Gin."

Ginny nodded. "Imagine if dad found us."

Harry shuddered involuntary. He did not want to think of that. Harry kissed her forehead as she looked up at him and grinned.

Ginny smiled and kissed him softly. She then got off of him and sat on the edge of the bed. Harry did the same and he sat next to her in a comfortable silence. Harry knew what Ginny was thinking about. She was thinking about the training he was going to begin today. She was trying to put up a tough and carefree attitude but Harry could tell that she was worried deeply for him.

Harry hugged her tightly to him. "I'll survive the training Gin."

Ginny clutched on to him tightly. "I finally got you after hoping that you would notice me all these years and I could lose you, it's terrifying." Ginny was shaking slightly in his arms.

Harry kissed the top of her head. "I'll be fine. Do you know why?"

Ginny shook her head and Harry continued. "Because I have a reason to live and complete the training to become strong." Ginny looked into his emerald green eyes. "I have you to fight for and I'll do anything and everything it takes to protect you."

Harry took a shower and changed his clothing and Ginny did so as well. Then they went downstairs and ran into Ron on the way down. Ron glared at Harry and opened his mouth to say something but Ginny glared at him and he closed his mouth and just sighed and went downstairs with them.

The three of them entered the kitchen and the table was filling up as everyone in the house woke up to start the new day. Eventually the Weasley's, Kurosaki's and Harry were sitting at the table eating Molly Weasley's wonderful cooking. After breakfast was finished Harry turned to Ichigo. "When should we start the training?"

Hermione looked at Harry quizzically. "Training?"

Harry turned to Hermione and saw that everyone was looking at him. "Ichigo is going to train me to control and learn about my Soul Reaper powers."

Hermione nodded but then noticed the worried look on Ginny's face. She looked back to Harry. "It's going to be very dangerous right?"

Harry sighed and nodded. "I'll be fine."

Isshin looked at Harry and then Ichigo. "I know that Ichigo here is hopeless when using Kido magic so I will pop in now and then during the training to teach you about it."

Ichigo looked over at his father. "Hopeless? I just never got the chance to really try to learn it."

"Then I'll teach you both." Isshin said.

Harry nodded. "We'll use the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts. Mrs. Weasley do you have a way of contacting Dumbledore so we can go there?"

Mrs. Weasley nodded and pulled out the Order Galleon from her robes. She waved her wand over it muttering a spell and it glowed red. "He'll be here shortly."

About five minutes later Dumbledore arrived. He walked into the kitchen and looked over at Mrs. Weasley. "Hello Molly."

Harry looked over at Dumbledore "Can you bring me, Ichigo, and Isshin to Hogwarts to train?"

Dumbledore nodded. "Certainly, Harry. What time would like to come back at?"

"When the training is over." Harry said.

Dumbledore looked at him with his eyes twinkling as usual. "That's fine Harry. I'll have the house elves prepare regular meals. Going by Miss, Weasley's and Miss Granger's expression that the training will be very dangerous right?"

Harry nodded solemnly. "Yes it will be. It will be the hardest test of my life."

Ichigo stood up. He looked Dumbledore seriously. "I am going to train him for days on end. I'll try to kill him the whole time. It's all come down to Harry if he can survive."

Mrs. Weasley gasped. "You can't do that! You're going to try to kill him!?"

Ichigo nodded. "That's the only way he will be challenged enough to control and use his Soul Reaper powers effectively and quickly."

Everyone was silent at this. Dumbledore looked at Harry. "I believe you should do what you think is the best thing to do Harry. I know that this Aizen character will not stay silent for long when he knows that his plan to force the Wizarding World and the Soul Reaper's to fight failed."

Harry nodded. "That's why I'm going to do the training. I will hopefully be ready for whatever he throws at us."

Ron looked at Harry and grinned. "And we'll be here supporting and rooting for you not to be sliced in two."

Hermione glared at Ron. "Ron! Harry will be ok, don't say things about sliced in two."

Harry laughed and looked at Hermione. "Sliced in two? More like into pieces."

Ginny glared at him now. "Harry!"

Harry grinned and pulled her into a hug. "Don't worry Gin." He whispered into her ear. "I have all the motivation in the world to survive to be with you again."

Ginny hugged him back tightly. "You better come back, and in one piece."

Harry chuckled at that and kissed her softly before they broke apart. He got to his feet and looked over at Ichigo. "Well then, the sooner the better I suppose."

Ichigo nodded and walked over to Dumbledore. Isshin stood up and turned to his daughter's. "I won't be saying there with Ichigo and Harry. I'll be back later." Then he turned to Dumbledore. "Once I know where the castle is I will just use my Flash Step in my Soul Reaper form to travel there."

Dumbledore nodded. "Well then let us all head out past the Burrow's ward boundaries and I'll Apparate us to Hogwarts."

Harry nodded and they went outside. They walked past the wards and Harry hugged Ginny and kissed her. "I'll be back before you know it." He kissed her softly and then he gripped Dumbledore's arm and he Disapparated.

Ginny and the others went back into the Burrow and tried not to think about the worst that could happen.

Harry, Dumbledore, Ichigo, and Isshin Apparated in the Apparition point a little into the Forbidden Forest and they began the short walk on onto the castle grounds.

The sight of the castle made Ichigo stop in their tracks for a moment. Harry glanced at them. "Yeah happened to me when I first saw it as well."

Ichigo nodded. "Yeah..."

They walked up to the Castle and Dumbledore waved his wand the entrance hall doors opened silently. Soon they arrived at the blank piece of wall where the door to the Room of Requirement lies. Harry walked past the stretch of wall three times thinking of the training room Urahara trained Ichigo in. The door materialized in the wall and Harry grabbed the handle and opened the door. He walked in and the others followed.

Isshin and Ichigo walked inside and they were shocked by the amount of space that just seemingly appeared out of nothing. Ichigo turned to Dumbledore. "How is this possible?"

Dumbledore looked over at Ichigo. "With a great deal of Enchantments. This room is powered by the castle itself."

Isshin looked at the barren room. "Seems to be a fine place to start this kind of training."

Ichigo nodded. "Yes it is." Then he turned to Harry. "Are you ready to begin?"

Harry nodded. "I'm ready when you are."

"Good." Ichigo said and gripped his sword and the cloth covering it fell away. Harry pulled his sword out of the scabbard and held it ready in front of him.

Ichigo nodded and swing his sword at Harry. Harry brought his sword to parry the blow. Ichigo's sword connected with his and he staggered backwards by the force of the hit.

Ichigo just grinned and charged at him again and Harry jumped sideways and rolled on the ground to dodge another swing from Ichigo's massive sword.

Isshin walked over to Dumbledore. "I hope Harry survives this."

Dumbledore nodded. "He will. He has too..."

Isshin looked at Dumbledore quizzically but didn't say anything.

Harry dodged another swing from Ichigo's sword and he attacked back but Ichigo would easily evade his attacks effortlessly. Then Harry was knocked to the ground by a particular hard hit from Ichigo. He got to his feet quickly and he continues to fight.

After an hour of training with Ichigo Isshin stepped in to teach them about Kido Magic. They started with the basics but they were progressing at a good rate with a proper teacher that knew the workings of the advanced magic.

Later Isshin left and Ichigo and Harry resumed training. Harry fought to survive and he had all the reason he needed to survive waiting for him at the Burrow.

Ginny was sitting on her bed in her room reading a book that was failing to keep her mind off of Harry. She was worried that he would get hurt or die. She knew that he was strong and survived the odds again and again but she couldn't help but worry. It was now August tenth and her birthday was tomorrow. She had hoped that he would be back before then but she now resigned herself that Harry wouldn't be here for her birthday. She put her book away and she changed into her pyjamas and went to bed.

The next day Ginny went about her day trying not to worry about Harry and receiving Happy Birthday's from her family. She got presents from all her brothers of course but she really wanted to see Harry. Harry had never really celebrated her birthday with her before. Maybe it was too awkward before but now that they were dating she wished that he was here to celebrate it with her. She thanked everyone for all the presents that she got as they left as her party wound down at the end of the day.

Ginny went to her room to go to bed. She changed into her pyjamas and she was about to go to sleep when there was a knock on the door. Ginny said. "Come in" and Hermione opened the door and walked inside.

Hermione walked over to Ginny's bed as sat down. "You have been distant all day Ginny."

Ginny sighed and sat down beside her. "I wish Harry was here for my Birthday. I mean I know what he is doing is important but this is the first time he would have really celebrated my Birthday with me."

Hermione turned to Ginny. "He'll make it up to you when he gets back."

Ginny sighed again. "If he even remembers that it was my birthday."

"He will, and if he doesn't you can show him how bad it is to piss off the daughter that holds the world's scariest temper." Hermione said with a laugh.

Ginny couldn't help but laugh. "Well I'll just have to wait and see."

Hermione stood up and walked to the door. "I'm sure everything will work out. Harry will complete the training and come back to you."

Ginny nodded and Hermione left. Ginny got under the covers of her bed and fell asleep. She was having a dream about playing Quidditch when she felt something touching hr lips. She woke slightly from her sleep and she smiled into the kiss. She kissed the lips back. "Harry."

Harry broke the kiss and sat down on the bed. "Hey Ginny."

Ginny sat up sleepily in her bed. She looked at Harry. "What are you doing here, I thought you were training."

Harry grinned. "I thought I would at least wish you a Happy Birthday even if I couldn't be here all day."

Ginny gasped and looked at him. "You remembered." She whispered.

Harry put his arms around her. "Of course I did. I took a break from the training to come see you. I wanted to give you your present."

Ginny hugged him tightly back. "Oh Harry you didn't have to get me anything."

Harry laughed. "After you got me that wonderful watch how could I not?" And he let go of Ginny and he pulled a slim velvet box out of his pocket.

Ginny looked at the fancy box and blushed. "Don't tell me is embarrassingly expensive."

Harry laughed. "Ah, it was only a couple thousand Galleons."

Ginny glared at him. "Harry!"

Harry grinned. "Open it."

Ginny took the box from Harry and opened it. She gasped. Inside was a golden necklace with a large clear white diamond on it. She picked up the necklace and the moment she did it grew warm. Not hot but comfortably warm and the diamond went deep red. She looked up at Harry who was smiling at her. "What happened? Is it supposed to do that? It's beautiful Harry."

Harry smiled at her. "I had it custom made in Hogsmeade. The diamond and gold is normal but the enchantment and my magic that I infused with it is connected with me. When I gave it to you and if we felt the same about each other then the necklace would grow warm and the diamond would glow deep red."

Ginny looked up at Harry with wide eyes. All she ever felt for Harry was love. Could he really love her? "Oh Harry I..I don't know what to say. It wonderful"

Harry smiled and he took the necklace from her and unclasped it. Ginny turned around and Harry clasped at around her neck. Then she turned back around and hugged him. Harry hugged her back and he just held her. Felling the warmth of her body against his. Harry pulled away from her a little and looked into her eyes. Ginny looked back into his. Harry silently captured Ginny's lips with his own. He kiss her softly. Savouring the feel of her lips and the emotions that were passing through each other.

Ginny kissed him back lovingly as Harry held her in his arms. She felt feelings she never felt before between them and she slowly fell backwards onto her bed and Harry joined her.

Harry broke the kiss and smiled as he looked into her chocolate brown eyes. He knew what he felt for her was growing ever second that they were together. There was now no doubt in his mind that he loved her. "I love you Ginny."

Ginny gasped. Harry said that he loved her. She had wanted this since she was eleven years old. She had a crush on him for years that she thought was love but now she knew that was just an illusionary love. What she was feeling now was true love. She smiled back at him. "Oh Harry I love you too."

Harry smiled and pulled her into his arms. "Sorry it took me so long to realize it but I love you and I will always be here for you."

Ginny kissed him softly again. "This is the best birthday ever."

Harry just grinned. "I agree." Then he got up. Ginny stood up with him. "I have to go now Ginny."

Ginny looked at the floor but nodded. "Please be careful."

Harry lifted her chin up and kissed her. "I'll be alright Gin. I love you and there's no way I'm not going to come back to you. I will get stronger so that I can protect you."

Ginny smiled. "Thank you Harry. I love the necklace and I love you. Please be careful."

Harry moved towards the open window and leapt to the ground. Ginny ran over to the window terrified that he was going to be hurt. Harry was just standing on the ground completely unhurt. "Harry how did you do that?"

Harry looked up at her. "I've made progress in my training Gin I can use the Flash Step ability now. I'm still nowhere near as fast as Ichigo but I can still move extremely fast. That's how I got here."

Ginny smiled down at him. "Just don't scare me like that again you prat."

Harry laughed. "I warn you next time."

Ginny laughed. "Thanks for coming Harry. Good night."

"Good night Gin." He looked at her for a moment then he used his Flash Step and disappeared.

Ginny moved away from the window feeling wonderful. Harry told her that he loved her. She got back under the cover of her bed and fell asleep with the comforting heat of the necklace. She had a piece of his love with her always now.

Ginny woke the next morning and got out of bed. She got dressed and looked at the necklace Harry gave her. She couldn't wait until he was back in her arms again. She walked downstairs and joined the rest of the family who were eating breakfast at the table.

"Hi Karin, Yuzu." She greeted them as she sat down.

Karin looked up at her. "That's a nice necklace, where did you get it?"

Ginny looked down at it she forgot to hid it under her shirt. Hermione looked over at Ginny and noticed it. "I never seen you wearing a necklace before Ginny."

Now everyone was looking at her for an explanation. Mrs. Weasley noticed it and gasped. She knew what it was and she recognized the magic flowing in it. "Harry gave it to you didn't he?"

Ginny looked over at her mum in surprise. "How did you know that?"

"That necklace is infused with his magic right?" Mrs. Weasley asked.

"Yes." Ginny said blushing slightly.

Mrs Weasley looked at her daughter almost teary eyed. "And the fact that it is glowing red means that you two..." She broke off.

Everyone looked at Ginny and Molly with confused expressions. Not understanding what it meant. Hermione however heard of that enchantment and gasped. "Harry told you he loved you didn't he."

Ginny went red and nodded. "He showed up in my room last night and gave it to me for my birthday. He told me he loved me and that the necklace would glow red if we felt the same about each other."

Yuzu looked at Ginny and pouted. "This is romantic and all but it's too bloody mushy."

Ginny laughed. "I can't wait until he comes back. I like knowing that as long as this necklace is glowing he is ok."

Mr. Weasley smiled at his daughter. She has fallen in love with Harry. It was clear that Harry loved her deeply as well. Harry was putting his life on the line to get stronger in order to protect the people he loves.

************

Meanwhile back at Hueco Mundo Aizen had called a meeting with his Arrancar. His plan for Ichigo to stir up a war between the Soul Society and the Wizards seemed to have failed. Well he was just going to have to be less subtle this time.

Aizen regarded the Arrancar he made and he chose number 13. "Ringestu, you are to contact the Dark Lord that the Wizards are fighting a war with. Discuss my plans with him and report back to me."

Ringestu bowed. "Yes Lord Aizen." Then he left the room.

Aizen sat back in his chair. Soon everything will be set for him to rule everything.
