No one could help them like they could help each other.

Chapter 9 - Pleasant Dreams

That night something caused Ginny to stir. As she blinked away the sleep clouding her brain the something felt more like a stinging sensation on her back. Instinctively she moved away forgetting about Harry and constant contact.

She let out a painful Yelp as a jolt of pain hit her. That jolt of pain also caused Harry to wake. Quickly they clasped hands and she tried to settle her racing heart.

"Gin. That hurt" Harry mumbled in his brain fogged sleep state.

"It was no picnic for me either" she responded snappily rubbing her back where she could reach

"Whatdoyoumean" he mumbled almost incoherently trying to rub the sleep out of his eyes.

"I think we got separated as we slept. I woke up just before the jolt to a stinging on my back."

"And the covers broke the remaining contact." Harry finished slowly becoming more awake.

"Yes"

"Hmm? What do we do now?" They remained in silence for many moments until Harry had the first thought "tape?"

"No that would hurt" after thinking a while longer Ginny had what she supposed a muggle would call a lightbulb moment.

"Harry! The bond needs to stabilise through touch"

"Yes. Which is why we can't" he raised their joined hands with a duh expression

"Not that you idiot" Ginny reprimanded with a giggle hitting his chest lightly "Skin to Skin contact could be anywhere. Our feet for instance" now Harry begun slowly nodding

"But how does that help?" With a sigh Ginny made a gesture to her PJs.

"Do you fancy fulfilling one of my dreams?" She asked softly, blushing a little

"That depends" he said slowly

"Take off your clothes Harry" she said slowly

"What!" He said suddenly making her blush harder but giggle more.

"The lesser amount of clothing we have the lower the chances of being separated" she explained fingering the hem of her Pyjama shirt

"Oh I get it" Harry whacked his head feigning idiocy

"Good take your clothes off" she said taking control. She removed her shirt and waited for him to follow. Slowly rising from the bed they parted for a split second dreading the sudden rush of pain they would feel in order to remove their trousers. Once done Harry's eyes bulged out of his head when he got a good look at her body.

She was just beginning to develop into a woman. Little mounds peaked through her overall flat chest. Her body though lacked the lankyness that Ron had and the other Weasleys. He noticed her hair of all things. To him it looked like liquid fire in comparison to her pale skin that was littered with clusters of freckles.

He came back from his inner thoughts when a low laugh registered in his ears. Blinking away his daydream he saw Ginny standing in front of him holding his hands and her feet resting next to his. Thankfully they still wore some underwear's so neither felt fully exposed even though he was staring intently at her breasts. He just chalked it up to the bond making them comfortable like that.

Laying down on the bed again, Ginny snuggled deeper into his chest. With content smiles they drifted off into the best nights sleep they'd ever had. No longer having a constant stinging feeling as they slept was a bonus

Harry's dreams that night were filled with the beautiful redhead in his arms.

They were adults in his dream he was sitting on the sofa of the castle when Ginny walked into the room carrying a tray which contained drinks and slices of cake. But what made him do a double take was the fact she was heavily pregnant. Her stomach had expanded so far he didn't think it could anymore.

"Can you believe it's only a month until we get to meet these two" she said patting her stomach rewarded with a swift kick.

"No" he told her "but I'm impatient" he added with a grin. Before reaching out and resting his hand over hers on her tummy.

The dream faded and a new one played out in his mind

He was surrounded by green fields of flowers and a small wood which led to a swimming pond. The sky was crystal blue, bird chirped happily in the proud looking trees. Down the path just ahead of him was a redheaded woman whose hair looked like the definition of liquid fire.

"Come on Harry!" She laughed at him turning around to see him staring at her. Blinking himself out of his dreamy state he strode down the well worn path towards her before lunging at her and wrapping her up in a fircesome hug

"How can I walk fast when you look like a goddess?" He asked her his voice raspy. His chest warmed when ginny gave a hearty laugh.

"I believe you have a promise Mr.Potter!" She said escaping his grasp

"And I very much want to fulfil this promise" he yelled after her marvelling at her beauty and grace. She was wearing a white sundress which cling to her chest highlighting her curves and the natural beauty of her breasts before it tapered out into a flowly skirt separated from a braided leather belt. The material seemed to shimmer as she moved under the summer sun. It ended at her knees showing off perfect legs and feet in beautiful braided leather sandals with pink painted toes. Her hair was half tied away from her face allowing it to fall in expanse behind her back. As she spun and ran ahead he felt himself in awe of the woman he loved. Catching up to her in the clearing by the pond to see her standing the shallows of the water with her sandals in her hand. How she did that he'd never know.

If anyone was to look in on Harry and Ginny sleeping they'd see to young people content in the others arms with smiles a mile wide plastered on their faces so at peace in dreamland.
