Disclaimer : I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER, ITS JKRS WORLD I AM JUST HERE TO PLAY !

Things are starting to heat up and Harry found Ginny , with his phoenix senses, once he knew what he was looking for, he was able to expand his magic and find his other bond mate without too much trouble.

Previously …

The Weasley family was sitting down for lunch and everyone were tucking into their dinner, then all of a sudden there was a massive white flash and once the mist cleared there was a brilliant white phoenix sitting on Ginny Weasley's shoulder. Once the mist had cleared there was a flash of gold light surrounding the phoenix and Ginny, everyone now knew that Ginny had just bonded with the phoenix.

Everyone was shocked into silence you could have heard a pin drop, that was until Harry started to sing a melody that calmed everyone down, everyone heard the phoenix sing, apart from Ginny who instead of hearing singing heard words being spoken to her.

"Hello youngling, my name is Harry and I am pleased to meet you."

Ginny was confused; she thought she had heard the phoenix introduce himself as Harry. So she asked around the table if anyone else had heard the phoenix introduce itself, The whole family was still too shocked to respond. Harry could see what was happening and so explained to Ginny that only she could hear him, and the rest of the family would only hear a song. Ginny was stunned to find that out and she had so many questions to ask Harry. Mrs. Weasley was the first regain some sort of composure.

"Ginny dear, can you understand what the bird is saying to you? "

"Yes mum I tried to ask you but you were all staring into space, I thought I was going mad."

"What did the bird say then dear, you are keeping us all waiting?"

"All he said mum was that his name is Harry and he is pleased to meet me, and wants me to pass on his apologies for interrupting dinner."

Mrs. Weasley was struggling to believe her only daughter; she could not believe a magnificant bird would bond Ginny at such at such a young age. She would have to contact Dumbledore and see if this bird had actually bonded with Ginny. After all he was a great wizard and he had a phoenix bonded to him.

"Ginny dear that is great but I am going to contact Professor Dumbledore to try to find out what to do."

As soon as Harry heard the old man's name he leapt into the middle of the table and let his magic flow effectively freezing everyone around the table. Mrs. Weasley was stunned she could not move, all she wanted to do was contact Dumbledore to find out what to do and the bird just went crazy.

"Ginny I need you to tell your Mum, that she cannot contact Dumbledore and tell him that I am here, he is not to be trusted, and if he shows up here I will flash away with you, to keep you safe, please believe me when I say he is not to be trusted."

Ginny then turned to her family

"Mum, Harry just told me for you not to call Dumbledore, he said he is not to be trusted and if you bring him here, Harry will flash away with me to safety, I believe him mum after all he is a phoenix and they are supposed to be the most honest creatures in the magical world and they cannot lie."

Mrs. Weasley was shocked at this information, it sounded like the bird had experienced many run ins with the Professor, she decided there and then that family was more important to her than one man. Harry heard this and withdrew his magic to allow everyone to move again and flew straight back onto Ginny's shoulder. Mrs. Weasley sat back down in her seat, trying to process this new information.

The rest of the family was still sitting in shock looking at Ginny and the magnificant bird on Ginny's shoulder. The twins were the first to break the silence.

"Looks like our little sister…"

"has made a friend.."

"for life…"

"makes me proud dear brother"

"that our little sister "

"has bonded with this creature"

"of the light"

Harry was trying to keep up, his brain was spinning,

"Do they always talk like that" Harry asked Ginny.

"Yes they do, it can be quite annoying really, and they love to play jokes on people."

That seemed to lighten the atmosphere around the table, but now everyone was directing questions at Ginny at a rapid pace and she was struggling to keep up. This went on for about an hour until Mr. Weasley decided to stop all the commotion around the table and sent everyone off up to bed.

Later that evening was Ginny was chatting away to her new found friend and she was beginning to believe that he was actually human. But she dismissed that option as crazy. She had told Harry all about the stories her mum had read her, and that one day she was going to marry Harry Potter and he was going to be her knight in shining armour. Little did she realise that she was already bonded to Harry Potter.

The first month went by in much the same manor, Harry was hoping she would grow out of her adoration for Harry Potter, after all he just wanted to be Harry not "the boy who lived". He would have to take drastic action to get her out of Harry Potter fan girl mode and into a woman, who would love him, after all she was one of his life mates, he just hoped they both would get on or it could be rather awkward. He was pleased with his choices, he could see Hermione growing up to be a strong intelligent and independent woman. He also knew Ginny and Hermione had received massive power boosts, through being bonded to him. He had to find a way to get Ginny into Hogwarts a year early.

After a couple of months Ron decided he had enough of the bird and wanted to get rid of it, he wanted his sister back and this bird had no right to take her away from him, he was the big brother after all. Ron started to plan throughout the day how he could get the bird away from Ginny. All his brothers had moved on in jobs or were back at Hogwarts, he only had Ginny left to play with and she spent most of her days talking to that bird like she could understand it. All he ever heard the bird do was sing hardly a great magical creature if it could not interact with everyone. He also thought the bird should have picked him after all he was a lot smarter and better than his little sister.

Later that evening Ron crept up to Ginny's room, he had stolen his father's wand and he was nervous at what he was about to do, but he a duty to perform as big brother. Once he arrived at Ginny's room he opened the door ever so quietly. He did not know any spells he could on the bird as he only ever heard his mum doing cleaning ones and cooking ones. As he entered the room he saw Ginny asleep and the bird was asleep on her head rest. He crept up to the bird and poked the wand he was holding into the bird.

Harry was forced back off the headboard and onto the floor, he had a slight cut on his chest from where Ron had jabbed the wand into his stomach. Ginny heard Harry scream in her head and jumped out of bed to see Ron pointing a wand at Harry and telling the bird to leave her alone and never to come back or he would get a lot worse. Before Harry could react Ginny's magic flared and knocked Ron of his feet and sent him to the desk and he collapsed in a massive big heap on the floor.

Mr. And Mrs. Weasley heard the commotion and rushed into Ginny's room seeing the phoenix on the floor with a slight cut on his chest and Ginny standing there with her arms outstretched and Ron in a crumpled heap by Ginny's desk.

"GINEVA MOLLY WEASLEY JUST WHAT IN MERLINS NAME IS GOING ON HERE?"

Ginny swung around to see her mum standing there and with a coldness and hardened eyes that scared Molly.

"Mum I was asleep in bed, and that prat over there decided it would be a good thing to steal somebody's wand. He then crept into my bedroom as no one heard him and attacked Harry while he was asleep, hence the mark on Harry's chest. I heard Harry scream in my head, so I was awoke instantly and what do I find; my own brother standing over harry with a wand pointed at him, I was so angry that my magic threw Ron across the floor."

Mrs. Weasley was in shock, she knew Ginny would never lie and that would explain why Ron was in Ginny's bedroom, and Ron was in no fit state to answer any questions. Mrs. Weasley then went over to Ron picked him up and took him back to his bed, but not before telling Ginny that this would be discussed in the morning at breakfast.

The following morning Ron and Ginny were sitting in the kitchen with their parents and Harry was perched on Ginny's shoulder positively scowling at Ron.

"Ron I would I like to hear what your side to what happened last night" said Mrs. Weasley.

Ron saw this as an opportunity to get his parents on his side.

"Well you see mum I was in bed , but I could not sleep and I heard a scream come from Ginny's room, I went in there to see that bird attacking Ginny in her sleep. So I grabbed the closest thing to me and jabbed the bird in the stomach, to get it off Ginny and I was just telling it to stay away from Ginny when I was thrown across the room by that bird. He has to go I will not allow my little sister to be attacked while she sleeps."

Ron was positive this had worked, because he could see both his parent's were positively angry. Ron's smile was soon wiped off his face

"RONALD BILLIUS WEASLEY, HOW DARE YOU LIE TO ME AND YOU FATHER LIKE THAT, I KNOW THE TRUTH I ONLY ASKED YOU TO SEE IF YOU WOULD OWN UP TO YOUR COWARDLY ACT, AS TO HOW I KNOW THAT IS NO ONE OF YOUR CONCERN, YOU ARE NOW GROUNDED FOR THREE MONTHS AND THAT MEANS NO FLYNG, NO NOTHING, YOU WILL HELP AROUND HOUSE FROM AFTER BREAKFAST UNTILL TWO HOURS PAST DINNER, DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR YOUNG MAN?"

Ron could not believe it, he had been caught out on a major lie, could his parents not see he was not the one at fault here, everything changed after that damn bird turned up and he vowed he would get it one day.

The next few months passed by and everyone was getting along, Ron was still trying to get at the bird Ginny had, but everything he tried failed. Harry was beginning to get Ginny to see that Harry Potter was just a boy who lost his parents and was probably very unhappy, that everyone treat him as a hero. Ginny could see that and she promised that if she met him, she would treat him just as Harry and not anything special, and she would get her mum and dad to be parents to Harry. Harry was overjoyed at this, he had finally got Ginny looking at him in a normal way and not some fantasy from a book. Harry was pleased with his work.

Headmaster Office Hogwarts

Albus Dumbledore was sure his power reading device was wrong, it was showing an immense power from the Burrow and he knew only Ron and Ginny were there, yes Ginny would be powerful for a witch but this sort of power dwarfed Dumbledore and in comparison he was just an average wizard. He would have to pay a visit to see what was going on. He would leave it a couple more weeks, before he headed out there to see what just was happening at the Burrow.

The Burrow

Harry was telling Ginny, that he would have to leave soon, but promised he would always be there if she needed him and also promised that she would see him again. Ginny was crying but Harry was singing a song to her that made her feel at ease and that he was not gone forever and would always be there for her.

2 Weeks Later

The device in the Headmasters office was now spinning at such a fast rate he had no option but to go to the burrow and find out what was happening. When he arrived at the Burrow it was couple of weeks before students arrived back home, so it should only be Mrs. Weasley and her son and daughter at home. What he saw shocked him to the core when he entered the burrow. He saw the beautiful white phoenix sitting on the youngest Weasley's shoulder, he would have to bind her power so that there was no way she could be allowed to be so powerful certainly not at the age of seven. He sent a silent spell at Ginny, but Harry was alert and erected a golden dome around himself and Ginny and the spell was absorbed into the dome. Dumbledore could not believe it, the phoenix had seen him cast the spell and immediately erected a shield around himself and Ginny all in the matter of seconds.

Mrs. Weasley was in a rage, not only had Dumbledore tried to put a spell on his daughter without her knowledge, he had also entered her home announced. But before she could say anything, Harry got Ginny to grab his tail and flashed them both out to safety….
