A/N I have reposted this chapter after reading some reviews about the large blocks of writing. I have tried to break it up a bit so it is easier to read. Please bare with me as I said this is my first attempt of writing a story so it is all new to me. But reviews are welcome. I will read them all and try to improve where I can. Thank you to those who have already reviewed, and hopefully this chapter is now a little easier to read.

Chapter One

Harry was sitting outside, in a clearing of a vast woodland area, that was part of the land that belonged to the Potter Estate. He wore a small smile, like he had found something funny but was trying not to show it. He sat there waiting for his best friend to arrive. It was his eleventh birthday and he had just received his letter to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There would be a small party later to celebrate his birthday but he knew that his best friend Ginny Weasley would be here at any minute. They had been best friends since Harry's seventh birthday when they had met in Diagon Alley.

FLASH BACK

Harry was just leaving the magical pet shop with his new puppy, and his godfather Sirius Black. When the puppy had jumped out of his arms, and run straight to a little girl with fire red hair, chocolate brown eyes and freckles.

She was standing with a group of people that also had red hair (although not as dark as the young girls. More of a ginger colour). She giggled and bent down picked the small puppy up, giving it a cuddle before turning to Harry, holding the puppy out for him to take.

After taking the pup back, the girl had introduced herself as Ginny Weasley. She then introduced the people standing with her as her mum and six brothers.

There was Ron (who was a year older than Ginny), then twins Fred and George, Percy, Charlie and lastly Bill who was the oldest.

He told her his name was Harry. She asked what the puppy's name was, he had said that he hadn't picked one yet. He explained that he had only just got him for his birthday, that was today and he was now seven. She had wished him happy birthday and then asked what sort of dog it was. He had told her that, the shop keeper had said it was a fide magorum dog. He told her that the shop keeper had told him that the dog would be loyal and protective.

They had continued talking about the puppy for a little longer. Then Harry had asked her about her family. She had told him how the twins where always playing pranks, that she didn't like being the youngest, or the only girl. She told him that Bill was going to be starting his last year at Hogwarts, which was the best school in the world for witches and wizards. Charlie was also at Hogwarts, and Percy would be starting there in September. Harry thought it was great to have a big family.

He told her he didn't have a mum and dad, or any brothers and sisters. When she asked if he didn't have a mum and dad where did he live. He explained that he lived with his uncle Sirius, who was his godfather (currently talking to Ginny's mum), and his uncle Remus.

He asked her how old she was. she had told him she was going to be six in eleven days. It was at this time that Sirius, who had just finished talking to Ginny's mum, came over to them and asked if Harry, would like it if the Weasley's, came over to play and have dinner. Harry had jumped up and down waking the puppy that had fallen asleep in his arms, smiling and continuously saying "yes".

He didn't have any friends other than a boy called Neville. Who he had known all his life, and was more like a brother than a friend. He lived with his Grandmother, but spent nearly every weekend at Harry's. Often coming over during the week. It was one of the reasons Sirius had got him a puppy.

Harry had other animals, but they wasn't allowed to be seen by people, other than who Sirius said would be OK to show. As they where rare and magical, and people might want to take them away from Harry.

Harry was over the moon that he would be able to spend more time with his new friend.

Back at the Potter estate, Harry had put his puppy down, so he could show his new friend, and her family around the manor house (he didn't take them upstairs), and the grounds.

It was a large estate, the house had 2 sitting rooms, 2 dinning rooms, a ball room, a huge library, a duelling room, a kitchen, staff quarters for the six house elves that lived and worked there, a study, a drawing room, 10 bedrooms with en suits, 6 bathrooms (2 on each of the 3 floors), and a massive potions lab, stocked with all the potion ingredients you could ever need. Including some that were very rare. It took up the whole basement.

The grounds had large gardens, a vast woodland area, quidditch pitch, green houses and a large lake.

After the children had come back to the house after their tour, the Weasley brothers had gone to the kitchen, to find their mother.

Harry asked Ginny if she would like to see his bedroom. Telling her that he wanted to show her a secret.

Ginny had nodded enthusiastically, and picked up Harry's puppy, before following him upstairs.

When they got to a door that had a sign that read 'HARRY'S ROOM STAY OUT DANGER', Ginny had looked at Harry with a raised eyebrow, and asked why his room would be dangerous.

He had told her that this was the surprise, he wanted to show her. But she didn't have to worry, that nothing would hurt her. She had just held the puppy closer, and nodded for him to open the door.

Once in the room Harry closed the door, and looked to Ginny. She had just put the puppy down and was looking around the room.

It was a large room. The second biggest in the house. There was a super king sized bed made of cherry wood, Which had a bedside unit on each side of it, and a desk all made of the same wood as the bed. There was a walk in closet for all his clothes and shoes. The walls where a silvery grey, with posters of quidditch teams, and magical creatures on 3 of them. On the fourth wall there was a huge bookshelf, that was almost full with books. The bed had dark red covers with a fluffy red and silver blanket folded at the bottom. There was a big dark red fluffy rug on the floor.

On the bed side units where framed photo's of Harry's parents, one of them on their wedding day, and one of them holding harry on his first birthday. There was also a picture of them with his uncle Sirius and uncle Remus. Then there was a picture of Harry with his uncles and Harry was holding what looked like a wild cats cub.

As Ginny was looking around she spotted a beautiful royal blue phoenix that was perched on a stand near the window.

The phoenix was looking at Ginny with it's head tilted to the side. Harry smiled and said "This is Regale. He was my mum's, but when she died he bonded himself with me."

Ginny looked at him a huge smile on her face, and told him she thought that Regale, was the most beautiful bird she had ever seen. She had told him that she loved animals and hoped one day to have one of her own, and that Harry was very lucky to have two animals.

Harry had smiled back, and told her that he had more than two animals. But he didn't think of them as his pets. They where his friends, and that he had rescued them, and they had asked to stay with him.

Ginny looked at him with an eager, and excited glint in her eyes. Just then Harry tilted his head and then looked at his phoenix and chuckled. Ginny looked at him confused. So Harry explained that Regale had just announced to him that his new puppy was Magic, and that he told Regale that of course the puppy was magic he had got him from the magical pet shop. But Regal had said that's what the puppy's name was.

Ginny giggled, walked over to the puppy picked it up, and gave it a kiss on his nose saying "hello magic." She then looked back at Harry confused, and asked what he meant, that he had spoken with the phoenix. She hadn't heard him speak.

He blushed a little, and said that he could hear Regale in his head and speak back to him the same way, because they where bonded.

He then explained that he could communicate with all his animals this way. But his uncle had told him it was a very special ability, that was very rare. In fact the last person known to be able to communicate with animals was Merlin. Ginny gasped and told him that was so cool.

He then asked if she would like to meet his other animals. To which she nodded again. Harry then looked at her and said in a very serious voice. "If I show you, you have to promise not to tell anyone about them. They are very rare, and if people knew I had them, they would try to take them away from me. Do you promise to keep it a secret? Do you promise not to tell anyone? Even your parents and brothers?"

Ginny seemed to think about it for a few seconds, before she looked Harry straight in the eye and said "I promise that I will never, tell anyone what you show me".

Harry nodded, smiled and then said "Pura, Aurea it's OK you can show yourself, I'd like you to meet my new best friend Ginny Weasley."

Ginny had looked confused, until two animals came in to view. One was sitting next to Harry, looking at Ginny. It looked like a snow leopard.

Harry petted the large cats head and said "This is Pura. She is a Pura Cat. I've had her since I was five. I rescued her after some wizards killed her mother, for her fur. They didn't see Pura. So I waited for them to leave, then went and got her. That's her in that picture on my bedside unit. She was only a couple of weeks old when I found her. She is two now, and as you can see, she is quite a bit bigger than she was in the picture. But she will get bigger still. She won't stop growing for another three years or so."

He then turned to the bed, and pointed to a massive golden snake, that was coiled up in the middle of the bed, looking at Harry. "And this," he continued "is Aurea. She is a Queen Golden Cobra, she is a hundred and thirty four years old, and she is just over twelve foot long. She can live for hundreds of years. The oldest one recorded was over a thousand years old. When she sheds her skin it is pure gold. She only sheds once a year. I found her when I was six". Harry finished smiling and looked back to Ginny and said "so what do you think?"

Ginny was staring at the snake in awe. Without taking her eyes off the snake, she answered "They are both so beautiful. Do you think I could stoke them?"

Harry walked over to her, and took Magic from her arms. putting him on the floor near Pura. The large cat started to clean the puppy as if it was one of her cubs and Harry chuckled. "sure you can come and meet Aurea first, while Pura plays mum with Magic".

Ginny nodded and followed Harry over to the bed. They both climbed up and sat near the snake. Harry was impressed with how calm Ginny was being. He remembered the first time Sirius had seen Aurea. He had very nearly passed out, seeing his godson curled up with a twelve foot snake in his bed, when they where on holiday. Ginny just looked amazed but she defiantly did not look scared.

"OK Ginny you can stroke her now, she won't do anything and she loves to be petted. Don't worry if you feel her move under you hand, it's just her muscles moving, because of the heat your hands give off".

Ginny leaned forward and started stroking Aurea. She didn't even flinch, when the giant snake started to move towards her, to lay her head on Ginny's lap. Ginny looked at Harry and with a small smile said "She really is beautiful you know, I think she is lovely, and I think you are very lucky that she chose you to be her friend."

Harry nodded, tilted his head very slightly, smiled and replied "Aurea said, she think you are very beautiful too. And she would like very much if you would be her friend also."

Ginny looked at the snake, and quietly told her that, she would be very honoured to be her friend.

Pura then walked over to the bed, with Magic bounding after her. She picked the small puppy up in her mouth, before jumping up on the bed, dropping the pup and laying down, pulling Magic to her with her paw.

Ginny giggled and said " It's a good thing your bed is so big. She looks like she is really enjoying playing mum. Do you think she will let me stroke her?"

Harry just nodded. Ginny reached over and stroked Pura down her back. "oh my" Ginny breathed "she is so soft but her fur feels really thick".

Harry again just nodded.

After a little while of Ginny going between stroking Pura, Magic and Aurea. With Harry watching her with a smile, enjoying the fact that he had a new friend, and that she knew about his animals, wasn't scared and liked them.

There was a knock at the door before it opened, and Remus walked in and sat on the edge of the bed. Both children looked up. Remus smiled and said "I've been sent up to check your both OK, and to let you know we are going to have the cake now, if you want to come down."

He then turned to look at the young girl. "You must be Ginny. I have just been talking to your mum in the kitchen. She was a little bit worried, as nobody knew where either of you had gone. Sirius told her that you where probably with Harry, playing with his new puppy. Who I see has been claimed by Pura. Have you picked a name for him yet Harry?"

Harry chuckled and said " Regale said his name was Magic, and Pura seems to think she is now a mum. She keeps cleaning him, and she picked him up and put him on the bed. Then she used her paw to pull him to her."

Remus also chuckled before saying "I'm surprised to find you in here. Harry doesn't normally bring anyone to his room. He is very protective of his animals and I think other than me, Sirius and Neville, you Ginny are the only other person he has let in here."

Ginny looked at Harry for an explanation. He just shrugged before saying in a quiet voice "Neville is like a brother to me. I have known him all my life. I know he would never hurt any of my animals, and he wouldn't tell anyone about them. Ginny is my new best friend. I didn't want to have any secrets from her. She said that she loved animals, and wished she had one of her own. She wasn't scared of Aurea at all. Even Neville was scared of her at first. And it took him nearly a year before he would touch her. As you can see" Harry pointed to Ginny's lap where Aurea still had her head.

"Ginny is not scared of her at all. And Aurea likes her, and wants to be friends with Ginny."

Harry suddenly shook his head and squeezed his eyes shut. Then opened them again with a smile. "Regale, Pura and Magic, would also like to be friends with Ginny."

Remus laughed "get shouted at did you Harry?" He said.

Harry rolled his eyes. "They didn't like being left out." He answered.

Remus patted his leg, and told them that they should come downstairs when they where ready. He would let every one know where they are, and that they are just fine. Before he left closing the door behind him.

Ginny gently lifted Aurea's head from her lap, so she could get off the bed, as Harry got off to.

As Ginny started to the door, Harry said "Before we go down, I have one more thing that I need to tell you. You would find out anyway. But I would like to be the one to tell you."

Ginny turned to look at him and noticed that he seemed a little nervous.

Harry took a deep breath before he continued looking at the floor. "I told you my name is Harry, but I didn't tell you what my last name was. I don't want you to think any thing of it. I'm still me, just a boy who lives with his uncles, loves animals, has some rare ones that live with him, likes quidditch, loves to read and would really like it, if you would be my best friend."

He looked up into Ginny's eyes, and she could see fear there but she wasn't sure why. So she just gave him an encouraging smile, and waited for him to continue.

Harry looked back at the floor and took another deep breathe. "My full name is Harry James Potter."

He heard Ginny take in a sharp breathe, but he didn't look up. He just waited for the worst to happen.

He had tried to make friends before. But as soon as they found who he was, it was like they didn't want to be his friend any more. They just wanted to ask questions, about how he had defeated the man that had killed his parents, when he was one. They asked him things like how much money he had. The day after one boy had found out, he had even been told that, if he still wanted to be friends then Harry would have to buy him things. This confused Harry. He had only been five at the time, and he didn't have any money. And so Harry stopped trying to make friends and spent his time with his animals.

But there was something about Ginny. He really wanted her to be his friend because he was Harry, Just Harry. Not because he was Harry Potter. He was still looking at the floor, when he felt Ginny put her arms around him. She gave him a hug, and on instinct he hugged her back.

Ginny spoke quietly into his ear and it made him shiver. "Harry, I am so sorry, about what happened to your mummy and daddy. I think they where very brave. And I think you are very brave too. I would like very much to be your best friend."

She then pulled back a little, so that she could look at him in the eye's before she gave him a quick, gentle kiss on his lips.

As her lips touched his they both went wide eyed, as they felt what could only be described as an electrical shock, shoot through their bodies.

"What was that?" asked Harry.

'That Harry was they joining of two soul mates. You and Ginny are now soul bonded.' said Regale.

Ginny was still wide eyed as she asked "Who was that? Why can I hear talking in my head?"

"You heard Regale?" asked Harry.

"That was Regale? What is a soul bond and why did it happen?" answered Ginny.

Regale flapped his wings and glided over to land on Harry's shoulder. 'A soul bond, is when two soul mates find each other and kiss for the time, creating the soul bond. It means that the two of you, are destined to be together. And that now you are bonded, you will share many things. Such as you will now be able to talk to each other in your minds. The same way Harry does with us. You will also share power and abilities. For example Ginny should now be able to communicate with all of us, the way Harry does.'

Regale then turned to Aurea and said 'Aurea if you will?'

Harry any Ginny both looked confused, before Ginny's eyes went wide as both children heard Aurea in their minds. 'Greeting young Ginny. It is nice to know that we now have someone, other than Harry we can talk to'.

Regale then turned back to the children and continued his explanation. 'You will also share knowledge. So anything Harry knows, Ginny will now also know, and vice versa. For example I believe Ginny will now be able to speak parseltongue.'

Ginny gasped "I can now speak parseltongue? But I thought only dark wizards can do that?"

Harry looked at her a little hurt. "Ginny I can speak parseltongue, I'm not a dark wizard. I cant be I'm bonded to a phoenix, they are creatures of the light." he said.

Ginny looked up shocked. "Harry I'm so sorry, I didn't mean that I thought you was a dark wizard. It just what I heard. I was shocked is all. I'm really sorry." she apologized.

"That's OK Ginny I understand" Harry replied.

"I found out I was a parseltongue when I was six, and found Aurea. But I don't have to use it, because she can understand me when I speak English, and she can speak to me in my mind. But I do sometimes talk to her in parseltongue when I'm on my own." Harry explained.

"Harry how do we talk to each other in our minds? and Regale how far does it reach?" asked Ginny.

It was Regale that answered. 'You just have to think what you want to say to Harry or one of us, and we will be able to hear you. Its about intention. Only those who the thought was intended for, will be able to hear it. And as to your second question, communicating with Harry, or myself through your mind has no limits. We will be able to hear each other no matter where you are. Even if we where on opposite sides of the planet. When speaking to the other animals, you must be within a normal hearing range for them to be able to hear you. Now I know it is a lot to take in. But you really should both be getting downstairs. Everyone is waiting for you so that the cake can be served'.

Harry and Ginny both nodded and made their way downstairs.

Since that day Harry and Ginny became particularly inseparable. If you could find one you where almost guaranteed to be able to find the other. They hadn't told anyone about their bond yet.

Molly Weasley was sure her daughter spent more time at Harry's than she did at the burrow. But it did give her a chance to talk with Albus Dumbledore each week, and give him an update on Harry.

She had been doing this since Albus had asked her to, about a month after first meeting Harry. When she had mentioned to Albus, that her family had met Harry and his godfather in Diagon Alley. Albus had seemed a little worried that, Ginny was spending so much time with Harry and Sirius. But he hadn't said anything so she didn't pry.

Molly hadn't told anyone that she kept the headmaster of Hogwart's updated on Harry. Albus had asked her not to, as he didn't want people to think he was interfering. He just wanted to make sure the boy was well.

Molly didn't think there was any harm in that. And he had given her something precious many years ago. So she would do just about anything for the old man.

She was a little sad that Harry and Ron didn't get along better as they where closer in age. But they had had a few run ins at the beginning and now tended to stay out of each others way.

She shook her head when she remembered the argument that destroyed any chance of Harry and Ron having a friendship. It happened on Ginny's ninth birthday.

They where having Ginny's birthday at the Potter Manor, as the burrow was having some work done in the kitchen. Harry had gotten Ginny a kneazle kitten. Ginny had been over the moon, that she now had a pet of her own. It was jet black with emerald eyes. Ginny had fallen in love with it instantly and named it Emmie.

Ron had mumbled about how it was unfair that, Harry had gotten Ginny a kitten, when all Harry had gotten him for his birthday, was a Chudley Cannon's shirt. And how it was unfair that Harry Potter, was best friends with his baby sister. When she was younger than him and a girl. He himself was the same age as Harry. They would be starting school together in a year. It made more sense for Ron to be his best friend not Ginny. Harry, Ron and Ginny had argued about this on a number of occasions.

Molly was sure that no one else could hear Ron's mumbles, and she didn't want to create a scene. So she left him to sulk, but she intended to have words with him when they got home.

She had then watched as Ginny had finished unwrapping the rest of her presents, and thanked each person in turn for her gifts. Then they all seemed to disappear in different directions.

Arthur and Bill was talking to Sirius, Charlie was in a deep conversation with Remus, Percy had headed to the library, the twins had gone outside no doubt to the quidditch pitch.

She hadn't seen where Harry and Ginny had gone, but she presumed they where in Harry's room. She had also not seen where Ron had gone, but thought he had probably joined the twins outside.

Then she heard Harry shouting which was strange as Harry never shouted. Then she heard him shout again and knew where Ron was.

She made her way towards the stairs along with Arthur, Sirius and Remus. "I SAID GET OUT OF MY ROOM, CAN'T YOU READ IT SAYS ON THE DOOR KEEP OUT" Harry shouted again and the adults all looked at each other it was unlike Harry to be as angry as he sounded.

Then they heard Ron shout back at him "WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO GET HER KILLED? WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH THESE THINGS IN HERE ANYWAY? WASN'T IT ENOUGH THAT YOU GOT YOUR PARENTS KILLED COZ A MAD MAN WAS AFTER YOU? NOW YOU WANT TO GET MY BABY SISTER KILLED WITH DARK ANIMALS. NO WONDER YOU NEVER LET ANYONE IN YOUR ROOM. I BET YOU HAVE BEEN USING DARK SPELLS ON MY SISTER TO GET HER TO COME UP HERE. THATS WHY YOU BROUGHT HER THAT CAT YOUR TRYING TO BUY HER FRIENDSHIP. WELL YOU WONT BE FRIENDS WITH HER ANY MORE. NOT WHEN I TELL MY PARENTS WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING TO HER. THEY WONT EVER LET YOU SEE HER AGAIN. GINNY GIVE THAT CAT BACK TO HIM. YOU DONT KNOW WHAT SPELLS HE HAS PUT ON IT TO HURT YOU. COME WITH ME IM TAKING YOU TO MUM AND DAD TO GET YOU CHECKED. I WONT LET HIM HURT YOU ANY MORE!"

"Oh no" said Sirius.

Sirius pushed past the adults, who had stopped in shock half way up the stairs, when Ron had started shouting.

It had now gone deathly quite and Sirius was mad. How dare that little brat talk to his godson like that, and accuse him of those things. Harry would never hurt Ginny. how dare he say it was Harry's fault for what happened to his parents. He was one when his parents had been murdered for Merlin's sake.

Sirius could only guess what had happened. If he was right, Ron had walked into Harry's room, and had seen his animals. He was probably scarred at the sight of Aurea. Its a good job he didn't go into the woods, where the newest editions of Harry's and Ginny's animals, where currently living.

A year ago the young pair had come across a young Imperial Arch Griffin. Which they had named Eli. They had found him when they where on holiday. He had been injured, and the children had asked Regale to heal him. Once that was done the griffin would not leave their side. He had stayed in Harry's room for the first couple of months. But he grew at an alarming rate and was soon taking up residence in the woods, that was part of the potter estate.

Then just a couple of months ago, Harry and Ginny had brought home the newest edition. A British Parva dragon. Luckily it wasn't as big as most dragons, but it wasn't exactly small. It was still big enough that both Harry and Ginny could ride on it's back, and they would still be able to when they where both full grown adults.

Sirius got to Harry's bedroom only a few steps ahead of Arthur. He hadn't realized the other man was so close behind him.

Sirius went straight into the room, and wrapped Harry in his arms he could feel the young boy trembling.

Sirius looked up, Ginny was standing just to the side of Harry, facing Ron a mixture of shock, disbelief and anger on her face. She had her kitten in her arms.

Pura was standing in front of her as if guarding her in a deadly protective stance.

Aurea was coiled up on the bed but she had her head held up about four foot.

Regale was sat on his perch singing a calming tune, not that it seemed to be doing much at the moment.

Magic was sat next to Harry (the dog never left Harry's side) his head resting against Harry's leg.

Harry's hand was gently stroking behind his ears, although Sirius was sure Harry wasn't aware he was doing it.

Ron was standing as far away from the bed as possible. He was staring daggers at Ginny.

Arthur, Molly and Remus had now made it to the room but where standing in the door way.

Molly took in the scene. She was a terrified that a huge snake was on the bed so close to Ginny, with a wild cat was standing in front of her as if guarding one of her cubs.

What was Sirius and Remus thinking, having such animals in the house around children. But Ginny didn't look worried about either of the animals. She presumed they had been there for a while. Ginny had always loved animals, any animal. She was sure that Ginny would not be standing there, if she thought she was in any danger.

But she didn't like the idea of her daughter, being in the room with these animals on her own.

Molly would have to insist that from now on, Ginny would have to stay downstairs when they came over. That way Molly could keep an eye on her.

Molly couldn't believe what she had heard Ron say. She looked over to her husband. She wasn't sure if he had seen the animals or not. But she would be speaking to him later about Ginny, being up in Harry's room with such dangerous animals. And that both Sirius and Remus had failed to mention that the animals where in the house where her children where.

She would also be speaking to Albus about Harry having these animals.

Arthur was looking between Harry, who was now clinging to Sirius. He could see him visibly trembling. His heart broke for the pain his son had caused him. He then looked at Ginny, who was still staring at Ron in disbelief and anger, with tears flowing down her cheeks. Then finally looking at Ron, who was standing there now glaring at Harry.

These assessments had happened in a matter of seconds. But everyone was brought back to the present when Ron, not noticing the adults at the door started shouting again "GINNY I SAID GIVE HIM THAT BLOODY CAT BACK, AND COME ON. WE ARE GETTING OUT OF HERE. I WONT HAVE HIM HURT YOU ANY MORE. WHEN MUM AND DAD..."

What ever he was about to say next, was cut off when Harry suddenly pulled out of Sirius's embrace and turned to Ron, he practically screamed at him "GET OUT OF MY ROOM AND GET OUT OF MY HOUSE. I DONT WANT YOU HERE ANY MORE. I DONT WANT YOU HERE EVER AGAIN."

Harry then turned back into Sirius's embrace. Clinging to him again, like he was using Sirius to hold himself up. It was clear to everyone that the young boy was now sobbing.

Sirius looked to Molly and quietly asked "please?" nodding towards Ron.

Molly nodded an apology clear on her face. As she moved into the room so did Arthur and Remus. She could hear the wild cat, that was still standing in front of Ginny, emitting low warning growls. She really didn't like that thing, being so close to her daughter. But at the moment it looked like it was trying to protect Ginny.

Molly walked slowly towards Ron, and grabbed him by the arm pulling him back towards the door. All the way Ron trying to tell his mum that Harry had been using dark spells on Ginny. That Harry had her trapped in there with dark animals. She just pulled him until they where out of the room and on their way downstairs.

Arthur moved just out the way of the door. He didn't want to be in anyone's way, but he also didn't want to cause these rare animals, to act in a defensive manner, by making them feel threatened. So he moved slowly and made sure not to make any sudden movements. Until he was standing just inside the room.

Remus walked slowly towards Ginny. Pura adjusted her stance slightly and let out a low growl. This seemed to bring Ginny back from where ever she had been.

Remus stopped. He had known Pura since she was just a cub. But her loyalty was with Harry and it appeared Ginny as well. She would not think twice about attacking, if she thought they where being threatened. No matter how long he had known her. Remus in a calm tone called to Ginny "Ginny are you OK cub?"

Ginny looked at him and slightly shook her head tears still falling down her cheeks. "Ginny could you ask Pura to stand down, so that your dad can get to you please?" Remus asked.

Ginny looked at him again then slowly nodded. She looked down at Pura and whispered something to her. The large cat looked at Ginny for a long minuet, before relaxing her stance and going over to the bed. Where she got onto it and lay at the bottom, in a position where in a second she could be off the bed if she needed.

Ginny then slowly walked to the bed, where Aurea lowed her head and Ginny gently patted her, whilst she seemed to whisper something. Ginny then turned back to Remus, as Aurea lowered the rest of the way and coiled up. "They are OK now". She said.

Remus then turned to Sirius and nodded. Sirius gave a nod back before guiding Harry over to the bed. Pura stood and waited for Harry to lay down, before she stretched and lay the length of her body against Harry. Harry turned into her and buried his head into her neck, wrapping his arm around her holding her close.

Ginny walked over to where Sirius was standing next to the bed. Seeing her moving towards him, Sirius stepped back to give her room to get to Harry. She sat on the edge of the bed, putting the kitten down so she could use her arms to lean across the bed and whisper in Harry's ear. No one was sure what she was saying, but after a minuet Harry slowly turned his head so that he could look at her. Ginny sat back slightly so that she could look at him better.

Harry eye's darted to the little kitten now climbing up his legs. Then turned back to Ginny and whispered "You know that she is not cursed don't you? You know that I would never do that to you or an animal don't you?"

Ginny Smiled "Of course I do. I only put her down so I could use my arms. Now I want you to get some rest, and I will see you tomorrow, OK? Please don't listen to what he said. None of it was true."

She again lent over and gently placed a kiss on his forehead, before standing up and picking up Emmie. "I'll see you tomorrow OK?" She said.

Again and Harry nodded, before he turned to look at Magic who was standing at the foot of his bed. "Magic, stay with Ginny do you understand?" Harry said.

The dog barked and Harry nodded. He turned and put his face back in Pura's neck. Ginny turned to Sirius and gestured with her head towards the door, before turning and heading out the room Magic at her side. Sirius, Remus and her father following.

Once out of the room, She waited for Sirius to close the door before she said "I think we need to go somewhere and speak. I don't want to be where Ron is at the moment, but Harry said we should explain some things to dad and he could then explain it to mum and the others if they need to."

"I believe Molly has taken Ron home but I think the other boys are still here." Arthur said.

"OK lets go into Ginny's room. We can put up some privacy charms so no one can hear our conversation." Sirius said.

They all followed Ginny to her room which was at the end of hall on the opposite side to Harry's. She had had her own room, since a couple of months after her and Harry had met. She spent so much time there it only made sense.

Ginny opened her door a let every one in. Sirius sat on the window seat. Arthur sat on the arm chair in the corner of the room, Remus used the desk chair and Ginny climbed onto her bed putting the kitten on the floor. Magic got onto the bed and lay down at the foot.

Sirius then put up some privacy wards. Everyone sat in silence for a few minuets before Arthur broke it. "Firstly, I would like to apologise for my son. The things he said where unforgivable. I am sure Molly is having more than a few words with him as we speak. Also I would like to assure you that neither Molly or myself, believe that Harry would do anything to harm our Ginny. If we did we would not allow her to spend time here."

He paused and looked at Sirius and Remus in turn before continuing. "Also I know that Ron did not recognise the animals in Harry's room. I'm don't think Molly did either. I knew about Harry's dog, and I know that Magic is a breed called Fide Mogorum. Which is a rare breed in itself and hard to bond with. But when they do bond it's for life and they become very loyal. Harry seems to have had no problem bonding with Magic. Also, if I am not mistaken, the other three animals I saw in that room, where three of the rarest breeds of creatures of the light there is. Am I correct in thinking Harry is in possession of, a royal phoenix, a queen golden cobra and a pura cat?"

Sirius and Remus looked at each other, before Sirius nodded for Remus to explain. Remus gave a quick glance to Ginny, who was sitting on her bed stroking Magic looking down.

Then turned to Arthur. "We should start with Magic, as you already knew about him. He is indeed a Fide Magorum. We didn't pay for Magic. Sirius took Harry to the magical pet shop in Diagon Alley, on Harry's seventh birthday looking to get him a puppy. When they got to the shop, Magic was in a cage at the back of the shop.

When they asked the shop keeper about it, he told them that Magic was due to be destroyed. He said Magic was a dangerous breed, and so far anyone who had took an interest in him he had tried to attack. Harry immediately said he wanted him. Sirius wasn't worried about the dog attacking Harry. Harry has always had an unusual ability with animals.

The shop keeper had tried to discourage Harry. He told him they had many other breeds available. But Harry was determined, that he wanted the puppy that was in the cage at the back of the shop. When Sirius asked how much the puppy was, the shop keeper had looked at him like he was crazy. But said that if they could get near the dog they could have it. Because if they couldn't, it was going to cost him to to have the dog destroyed the next day.

Sirius then told Harry to go get his puppy and Harry had run off. He returned a few minuets later. The puppy in his arms and not a mark on him. You have seen how much that dog loves Harry. He rarely leaves his side.

Next is Regale, he is a Royal Phoenix. He belonged to Harry's mother. When she was killed Regale bonded himself to Harry. He will stay bonded to him until Harry dies, at which time he will either bond to Harry's wife or one of his children. The same will happen if they die. If Harry has neither a wife or child, at the time of his death Regale will burn himself, but will not be reborn.

Unlike normal phoenix's, Regale does not have burning days. But he will live until he has no one to bond with.

Then we have Pura. She is indeed a Pura Cat often mistaken for a Snow Leopard. Harry has had her since he was five. Her mother was killed by wizards after her fur. They didn't see Pura, because as I'm sure you know, Pura Cat's have the ability to become invisible.

But Harry has the ability to see magic, or maybe magical aura's would be a better way to describe it. So he was able to see where she was. She was only a couple of weeks old. She has been with Harry ever since. She is fiercely loyal and protective of Harry, and it seems Ginny as well.

Although her first loyalty will always be to Harry. I have know Pura since the day Harry found her. I have helped raise her. But as you saw when she was protecting Ginny, she was aggressive towards me, because she saw me as a threat to Ginny. I would say that at the time she was under Harry's orders to protect Ginny, as Magic is now.

But Pura Cat's are creatures of the light. They will only spend time in the company of those who are pure of heart, weather animal, human or magical creature. Which guarantees that any animal in Harry's room, or on this estate for that matter are not dark creatures.

Then we have Aurea. She is a Queen Golden Cobra. She is over a hundred and thirty years old, and is around twelve foot long. She has been with Harry since he was six. She also has the ability to become invisible. As well as the ability to be summoned by Harry, if he feels he is in danger. She will also transport herself to him, if she thinks he feels threatened. She has something like a sixth sense of Harry's feelings.

That is why Harry is very careful with his emotions. It is why you don't see him get angry and why we do not shout at him. He by no means gets away with anything. We just have different ways of dealing with things.

Sirius once got a bit excited after a prank Harry played on him. Harry's emotions where a bit all over the show, and it confused Aurea. Thinking he was in danger she transported herself to him. Let me tell you a twelve foot cobra, showing up out of know where, with its head reared and its fangs showing, is enough to make you think.

As you may know her bite is deadly. There is no antidote to her venom. She also has the ability to absorb negative energy.

Harry and Ginny also have two other animals, that are not in the house due to their size. They reside in the woodland area of the estate. One is Eli, he is an Imperial Arch Griffin. Harry and Ginny found him last year when we was on holiday. He was injured and Harry asked Regale to heal him.

Eli stayed in Harry's room when we first brought him home, but after a couple of months he was to big to stay in the house. So he now lives in the woods. He's just over a year old now. As you know Griffin's are guardians, So again a very protective creature.

Lastly we have saffi, short for sapphire. She is a beautiful blue and purple British Parva Dragon. She is still young only six years old, but she is fully grown. They found her a couple of months ago, wondering around the woods whilst they where visiting with Eli.

Like I said Harry has an unusual ability when it comes to animals. He can communicate with them. It is a very rare gift, we have looked it up and the last known wizard recorded, that had the ability to communicate with animals was Merlin.

Harry doesn't look at the animals that live here as pets. He calls them his friends, he says they are apart of his family and he is very protective of them. The reason he doesn't allow people into his room, is because these animals are incredibly rare. He doesn't want anyone to come and try to take them away.

Harry has a hard time trusting people, he has had to learn the hard way, that people will pretend to be your friend to better themselves. In fact he has only ever allowed two people, other than myself and Sirius to enter his room. they are Neville, who he has know all his life and thinks him a brother. And young Ginny who is his best friend. She has know about the animals since the day she met Harry."

When he had finished his story, Remus looked around. Sirius was looking towards Ginny laying on the bed a small smile on his face. Ginny had fallen asleep sometime during the story. Magic had moved up the bed to lay his head on her belly.

Arthur looked deep in thought. Then he looked up at Remus and said. "It must put your mind at ease. To know that Harry has so many loyal and protective friends. And it looks that because of Harry's protectiveness towards Ginny, she is well protected to. An imperial arch griffin and a British Parva dragon you say? Do you think one day Harry would show them to me? I'll swear any vow needed, that I would not betray his secrets."

Remus smiled at him, nodded and replied "I'm sure he would be happy to show you Arthur."

From that day on Ron and Harry had avoided each other. Arthur had explained and described all the animals to Molly. Telling her she had nothing to worry about. That Ginny would be in no danger being in their company, and that they were not going to stop her spending time in Harry's room.

Molly had updated Albus about Harry's animals, as soon as Arthur had gone to bed that night. He seemed most interested in the rare animals.

Harry had introduced all his animals to the rest of the Weasley's. They had all promised not to reveal his secret.

Harry and Ginny where still best friends and everything seemed to settle down over time.
