For the next four years things went pretty normal. Harry was still treated like dirt by his "family" if not worse. Ginny was still treated like a little baby girl by her entire family even if she was nine years old. Her brother Bill graduated from Hogwarts as Head Boy at the same time that the twins left for Hogwarts. Harry and Ginny became as close as they could be as a nine and ten year. They knew everything about each other. They continued to sleep in Ginny's bed every night. They tried not to but the more they tried the greater the pain they felt at night. Neither of them could stand seeing the other in pain so they decided to just sleep in the same bed every night.
One night Bill came home from his work in Egypt rather late. He didn't want to wake his parents and if he woke his brothers his parents would soon get up from the noise. He decided to only wake up Ginny who he knew wouldn't make a lot of noise and wouldn't mind being woken up in the middle of the night.
"Gin wake up it's your favorite brother who works in Egypt." Bill said silently while opening the door.
When Bill saw that Ginny wasn't alone and that it was a boy without red hair he was shocked.
"Ginny?" Was all Bill was able to get out of his mouth.
Harry what should we do?
I don't know should we trust him with our secret? You know him best would he tell everyone.
I didn't want to tell anyone but I knew that it would happen one day. If I was going to tell anyone it would be Bill. He wouldn't tell if I asked him not to. He won't be happy at first though.
Ok you should tell him though.
"Bill I have something to tell you and I want you to not freak out or tell anyone what I'm about to say. Do I have your word?"
Bill quickly recovered by saying a simple yes to Ginny still recovering from the shock.
"Bill this is Harry Potter" Ginny said while pointing at Harry.
"When I was four and Harry was five he ended up in my room. I didn't know who he was but I did know that he was extremely hurt. When I touched Harry he was completely healed. And then we realized that we could hear each other's thoughts and we could talk to each other in our heads. After that we realized that when we tried to fall asleep that there was an intense pain. So we slept in the same bed the first couple nights hoping that the pain would just disappear eventually. After a couple days we tried to sleep apart but the more we tried the more pain we felt so we decided to just sleep in the same bed. We don't know how he gets here but whenever he wants to he can."
Bill was completely shocked and tried to work it out in his head. The only thing that fits everything they said would be a soul bond. Bill knew that soul bonds were rather rare and considered to some a myth. No one fully knows how many soul bonds there are in the world as most bond couples don't want to tell anyone. After some time he settled on the fact that they had a soul bond making them soul mates.
"Why was Harry hurt?"
Harry can I tell him?
I guess he already knows everything else.
"His Uncle beat him on his fifth birthday." Ginny was barely able to get out and turned to Harry. She cried in his shoulder for a couple minutes and then calmed down.
"I'm sorry Harry someone should have been keeping an eye on you." Bill told Harry
"I am." Ginny said protectively
Bill saw his youngest sibling and only sister eyes that showed that anyone who threatened Harry would have to deal with her and he had no doubt in his mind that if anyone did they would surely regret it.
"You two share a soul bond but that's all I'm going to tell you. The rest you will have to find on your own." Bill told them while trying to change the subject.
"How do you guys keep this from mom? She wakes up early and always comes in to check on you."
"We don't really know how we just sort of wake up in our own rooms in the morning."
"Wait Harry how do you get here?"
"We don't really know. We sort of just think that we want to be somewhere and get there. It's not like disapparating because there's no pop and it doesn't feel like a pull like a portkey. It's not just Harry who can do it, I can too. We also don't know how we keep it from mum we just wake up in our rooms in the morning. We just assumed that our minds knew that we didn't want mum to find out." Ginny explained to Bill.
"I guess that is a good explanation for now. I'm going to go to bed and try to process everything that just happened. Good night Ginny and Harry."
"Good night Bill." The two said together while Bill walked out of the room.
Harry what are we going to do about Hogwarts? We're in different years and they defiantly won't allow us to sleep in the same bed. We would have to tell Dumbledore and my parents. They'll try to separate us.
Ginny no one can separate us. We won't allow them to. I'm sure that we can figure something out about everything else we always do. Harry thought while bringing Ginny into a hug.
Harry we need to read more books about Hogwarts and soul bonds. The more we know the better.
Ok Ginny.
The two quickly fell asleep in each other's arms hoping that things will work themselves out.
A/N: Another update! I should be able to update pretty fast two weeks at the absolute longest most of the time. This chapter is a bit longer and next couple will be longer. I'm looking for a beta so if anyone wants to be mine please tell. Don't forget to review.
