Chapter 1

Hogwarts Hospital Wing- Thursday June 10th1993

Harry Potter woke from a rather taxing sleep. No matter how he moved every inch of his body ached. He felt empty and hollow as if something were missing. He finally gave in to the uncomfortable state and opened his eyes slightly. The light blinding him, he closed his eyes once more. Relaxing, he was able to open and peer around the outside world. He opened his eyes, with blurry vision to reveal he had been in the Hospital Wing. Harry winced in pain as his best friend Hermione yelled, wrapping him in a hug.

"Harry, oh thank Merlin we were so worried." Hermione exclaimed in Harry's ear. Letting him go she noticed his confused look.

"Her-hermione," Harry crocked out "what happened?"

"Dumbledore and McGonagall found you and Ginny in the Chamber you've both been out ever since," Hermione continued to speak, but her voice vanished to Harry. He was trying to put the pieces together of what had happened that night, but only one thing was on his mind, to find her.

"Hermione," He said, cutting her off. "Where is Ginny? I need to see her." Harry wasn't sure why, but every ounce of his body yearned for Ginny, he needed her.

"She's here a few beds over, I don't think she's woken up yet. Mrs. Weasley just stepped out for supper, she's been staying with the two of you while we went to classes. Hermione had been woken from her petrification only hours after the two returned from the Chamber. As if on cue Mrs. Weasley entered back into the Hospital Wing, as soon as the older witch noticed the now conscious Harry she ran to him.

"Oh, Harry! You-you- saved her! My baby… Harry Potter you are the most extraordinary young man." Mrs. Weasley wrapped Harry in a bone crushing hug, tears running down her cheeks.

Harry winced and moaned in pain. Mrs. Weasley loosened her grip still holding on to the boy by his shoulders. She examined him to see his frail state. After sleeping for almost two weeks, he still seemed exhausted. His eyes looked almost lifeless and empty. His skin pale, and cold to touch. Her face quickly went from one of joy to complete agony.

"Harry dear, how are you feeling?" She spoke to him, without waiting for an answer she turned to Hermione, "Hermione, be a dear and fetch Pomfrey let her know Harry is awake."

Hermione nodded her head and turned towards the direction of Madam Pomfrey's office. Mrs. Weasley quickly reverted her attention back to Harry, worry still etched upon her face, though she tried hard to hide it.

"My glasses?" Harry said weakly. Mrs. Weasley looked on the end table and placed the dark rimmed glasses on the young boy. She smiled and nodded at him.

"Mrs. Weasley, how long have I been out? I don't feel very well." Harry could see the worried look upon her face and it made his stomach turn. He could not help but feel even more dread curse through his body.

"Almost two weeks dear, Albus and Minerva found the two of you in the…in there," She shuddered, and could not bear to place the image of the chamber in her head. "you were both unconscious, your head-on Ginny's and the diary in your hand. Neither of you have woken since." The matriarch turned with a worried longing look at her daughter's bed. Harry turned, for the first time seeing her. The desire that was built up inside of him grew stronger. He wanted so badly to walk to her. However, no matter how hard he tried, little movement came from his actions.

As if on cue, Ginny began stirring in her sleep. Molly quickly strengthened her gaze at her daughter and watched her carefully. As soon as her stirring had started, it had stopped. Ginny lay motionless on her bed. Then slowly she began to try to open her eyes, trying to speak.

"H-h-a-rry," She managed to speak very coarsely through her sleep. Molly sprang to her bedside and watched her daughter intensely. At this time, Madam Pomfrey and Hermione made their way back into the wing heading straight for Ginny's bed. The two older women watched the young witch waiting for more life to be breathed back into her. Hermione, while watching Ginny noticed Harry reaching his arm slowly as if calling for the younger which.

Ginny's eyes began prying open once more, clearly affected by the light in the room. Her eyes closed and opened each time opening slightly more than they previously had. She tirelessly tilted her head, turning her head to which only two beds away from her.

"Harry" She croaked weakly.

"Ginny" He echoed as her hand reached towards him in a similar fashion. The three witches watched amazed as the young couple cried out for each other. As if a light-bulb erupted in her head, Hermione looked at the healer.

"I think we should move them... closer together I mean." Pomfrey looked at her and at the couple nodding her head she levitated Harry to the bed closest to Ginny.

Molly and Hermione watched in amazement as Harry was laid back down on the bed. Instantly their hands grabbed each other. What happened next amazed the trio. Their hands clasped together and in that moment a bright gold aura surrounded their hands and a magic gold band of light encased the two hands in an infinite loop. Slowly the band seemed to dissipate into the wizards, but the glow remained for a few long seconds longer. Breaking out of her bewilderment Pomfrey turned towards Hermione.

"Hermione dear, I think it would be best if we get the Headmaster, would you be so kind?" The older witch asked. "Lemon Drop is the password to his office." Nodding her head Hermione quickly made her way to the exit.

"Poppy what has happened?" Molly said now sitting beside her daughter with her hand over her face.

"I'm not sure Molly, I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it. I will check their vitals." With a flick of her wand and muffled incantations she examined Harry, then Ginny.

"They're both healthy, stronger even than they seemed this morning. Albus will know, I'm sure of it."

"POPPY," Molly exclaimed looking at her daughter showing her discovery to Madam Pomfrey. The gold line that had disappeared into the young couple's hand seemed to have left their mark on the pair. A thin gold band wrapped her wrist and the palm of her hand revealed a thin line coming from the band making its way up the ring finger of the young witch. Both witches seemed bewildered by their discovery. On a hunch Poppy raised the left of Harry and revealed a similar gold band.

"Just as I assumed, it seems these two younglings have gotten themselves soul bonded." The Headmaster said entering the room with a soft smile.

"Soul bonded! Albus what is this, what has happened to my Ginny?" Molly's no longer tried to hide her worry.

"It seems something transpired between the two in the Chamber only they can explain to us. We shall wait for the two to wake up on their own, might you gather your husband Molly, this is something he'd want to know as well. You are welcome to use the floo in my office, the password is still Tutti-frutti."

"Hermione, stay with them please. I won't be long"

Hermione sat beside her two friends worried her brain reaching for some recollection of a soul-bond.

"Will they be okay Professor?" Hermione said looking up at the older wizard.

"I think these two will be just fine." His eyes twinkled as he smiled a soft smile at the pair and back at Hermione.
