Latter on the same day, everyone had left leaving Harry and Ginny alone for the first time after the soulbond.

You know Harry, we really should work on that eye thing, we can still see when we talk like this, it is a bit blurry but the eye rolling would explain that, when we talk like this try to focus your vision ok? Maybe pick a spot at the start? Yeah that's a good idea! Do that.

Ok. I don't think your dad is taking this very well.

I'm his little girl Harry, to him I'm only 9 years old.

He always liked me before. What if he hates me this time?

He won't hate you. He's just adjusting is all. And you didn't marry his 9 year old daughter last time.

He doesn't even know were married yet. He's going to really hate me when he finds out.

Harry focus your eyes! I've focused mine a bit and I can see what they mean. And he'll get used to it. I would try talking to him, but I don't want to get into any big conversations yet, I'll blow our cover.

Your mum seemed pretty ok with it though. Well not ok but she definitely doesn't want me dead.

Hey! My dad does not want you dead! And Mum always loved you.

What about the others. How do you think they are going to take this soulbond thing? Their little sister sleeping in a bed with a boy. Married.

Well Bill will probably be ok, he'll just want to know everything about the soulbond, he really into this kinda thing, I wouldn't be surprised if he already knew about soulbond, you know he has a book on nearly everything. Charlie is also pretty chill, remember at our wedding, my cousin had some accidental magic and set fire to the corner of the tent. Everyone was panicking Charlie just sauntered over and put it out. He's always chill about everything. Percy will just think it's improper, remember him at this age, he was such an arse. George, and Fred too, I saw him Harry, just like before, well they'll think it's a laugh, and Ron I'm not sure how he'll react, you probably know him better than I do you know, what do you think?

Ron? See our Ron, 26 year old Ron would be ok with it, but 11 year old Ron I'm not so sure. I really want him to be my best mate again, and Hermione. He was quite jealous of everyone in his family at this age. You know even you.

What do you mean even me? Am I not worthy of being jealous of? Ginny joked.

He was jealous of the others for being older than him. You weren't older, but you were the only girl so you still got new things. See he thought the others were better than him because they were older so he was suppose to be better than you, but you beat him. It's stupid, childish really but that's what he is a child. He could go one of two ways. Hate us both or not care at all. I could see it either way. He won't care about the relationship thing or the bed thing, not yet anyway, but if he gets it in his head that this makes you better than him if you get loads of attention for it then it could turn bad. I say we spend a lot of time with him early.

Yeah you're right. And will you please at least try to focus your eyes? So what's the plan?

Plan? For your family? Harry replied trying to focus his eyes on a freckle on her cheek.

No, the larger plan. We can change what we want. What's our plan?

Right well let's think, what do we need to change, or what to change?

The deaths, definitely the deaths. Keep them safe. Sirius, we need to free Sirius, we can't leave him.

No we can't, definitely not, but how do we get him out, legally hopefully, if we get him cleared that would be great. Were not even suppose to know about him, we can't just bring it up.

Ummm, well he s your godfather isn't it? Dumbledore will be back in the morning. Ask him loads of questions, try and get it out of him. Get enough details about it and ask the right questions to get Dumbledore thinking.

I'm not some magic question asker, you're way better at this kinda thing than me.

Well I can't do it can I? That would just look weird. I can feed you questions in your head if we get our eyes sorted out. Your actually doing better, what about me? Your eyes just twitch a bit.

Yeah I can hardly notice yours move.

Hey? Do you what to have a bit of fun and work on the eyes?

Sure

Ok the aim is to make the other one laugh. So just say anything at all of course focusing on yours eyes as you do it.

Ok! That sounds fun, we should lighten up a bit. You go first.

The next morning Dumbledore returned to the hospital wing at 9 o'clock in the morning. What he saw made him smile. He had been worried that the two children wouldn't have taken well to the soulbond but they were both sat cross legged on a bed finishing off their breakfast with huge grins on their faces. They either weren't talking to each other or had fixed the eye thing.

"How are you doing?" Dumbledore asked the both of them as he took a seat to the left of their bed.

"Good!" Grinned Ginny.

"Well I've got to say, I'm glad that you are taking this so well."

Ok let's dial it down a bit, we can't be too suspicious

"Yeah it is quite strange." Ginny said to Dumbledore, "will we be like this forever?" She asked, purposely making her eyes large.

"Yeah."

There was then a long silence.

This is your chance ask questions.

"Ummm sir, would you mind of I asked you a few questions?" Harry said sheepishly, generally nervous about this.

"Not at all my dear boy, ask away." Dumbledore said with a kind smile.

"My parents. Where they magic too?"

Good start

"Yes Harry they were. In fact they were very gifted, both of them. Although your mother applied herself a bit more, your father well he spent a lot of time having fun with his friends." Dumbledore tried to word carefully.

"Who were his friends?" Harry asked trying to sound curious but not too eager.

Wow straight to it.

"Well he had three close friends and many others. He was very close with Remus lupin, peter pettigrew and ummm Sirius Black."

Wait, I would have heard of Sirius Black, I can get the conversation on him.

Ginny gasped, "Sirius Black! I've heard that name. He's in jail isn't he, didn't he murder all of his friends?"

"Did he kill my dad?" Harry asked.

Dumbledore sighed, this was not where he saw this conversation going, "Voldemort, who I am sure Ginny has heard of killed both of your parents. He was a very dark wizards."

"What did Sirius do?" Harry asked, realising that Dumbledore wasn't very willing to tell the story to a 10 year old.

"I think that story is for another day Harry." Dumbledore used his to Harry famous line.

"Can't you just tell me what he was charged with at his trail?" Harry asked.

And you said you were good at this kinda thing.

"Well actually Harry I don't believe he had a trail." Dumbledore said.

"What!? No trial! Then how do you know that he was guilty? You said he was my dads friend, my dad wouldn't be friends with murderers! You can't send someone to jail without a trail it's not fair!" Harry said outraged.

I mean apart from pettigrew of course.

"Well Harry the, situation, he was found in, there wasn't much question." Dumbledore said choosing the word situation carefully.

"What situation?" Harry asked, "maybe he was set up. One time Dudley was watching this tv show and the character everyone thought he did it, like no one thought it could have been anyone else, but at the trial they found out that he had been set up! Maybe that happened to my dads friend."

"Harry I can assure you that that is not the case." Dumbledore said but he didn't seem so sure himself.

Give him a week

"Ok," said Harry looking down slightly.

Then Mr and Mrs Weasley appeared, "I've spoken to Madame Pomfrey," said Mrs Weasley, "and the both of you can come home with us this morning!"

"That's good, mum." Said Ginny, glad to be going home and very Glad that Harry gets to come with her.

"Have you told the other about our soulbond?" Ginny asked, fiddling with the sheets on the bed, pretending to be nervous about her brothers finding out.

"Yes, we have," said Mr Weasley, "and they aren't to ask either of you about it, ok?"

"Yeah." Said Ginny and Harry nodded.

Harry and Ginny returned to the Burrow in time for lunch, after lunch found Harry, Ginny and Ron all sat in the living room. Just as Ginny was about to break the silence Mr Weasley came in and asked to speak to her.

Harry gave her a questioning look.

What's that about?

No idea, ill tell you later. Get ron talking

"So, Ron, isn't it?" Harry asked once Ginny had left

"Yeah."

"You're starting hogwarts this year too aren't you?"

"Yeah."

Real talker he is

"Do you know what they do there. Ginny has told me a bot about the lessons but is there anything else, I hadn't even heard of it until a few days ago." Harry said, strongly hinting that he wanted Ron to tell him about quidditch, knowing Ron loved to talk about quidditch.

Thankfully Ron took the bait, "have you heard of quidditch?"

"Quidditch? No. What is it?"

Then Ron was off. When Ginny returned 10 minutes later he was still going over the rules of the game.

You know i didn't actually know this much detail.

Listen then.

Nearly an hour later after Ron had finished a run through of all of the big quidditch teams, finishing of course on the cannons, he asked Harry, "so, mate, what house do you think you are going to be in?"

That was easy we are mates already

"I'm not sure. What were the houses called again?"

"Well there's Gryffindor, thats were i want to go, its for the brave, then there's Ravenclaw for the smart, i was so surprised when Percy, thats our brother got into Gryffindor and not Ravenclaw then there's Hufflepuff, for the loyal they say, but George says they're just the left overs and Slytherin, you don't want to go there, they're for the cunning, shower of cheating scum they are."

"Well Gryffindor sound the best, do you get to choose?" Harry asked.

"No, you get sorted, but i have no idea how, no one will tell me for some reason, I'm worried its going to be bad."

"They can hardly make it that bad," said Ginny, "i mean we don't know any magic yet."

"True, true," said Ron, "hey Ginny, is it true you are coming this year with Harry and me."

"Yeah. Me and Harry have to stay together." Ginny said.

"Ah ok." Ron replied, having been warned not to say anything about the soulbond to them, the he added, "fancy a game of exploding snap?"

"Exploding snap?" Asked Harry pretending to look nervous.

"Don't worry," said Ginny, "it won't hurt you." She tried so hard to hold in her laugh and when Ron left the room to go get a deck of cards she let out a little giggle.

"Shut up." Said Harry with a smirk. I have to act like magic is new to me. It's hard you know I keep forgetting that we aren't, well, you know us. I'm trying to remember how amazed I was when I was really 11 but it was so long ago, it's quite difficult.

Yeah I know, at least I can know about magic and stuff properly but I'm at a loss for what 10 year old girls do. I genuinely cannot remember what I did with myself all day.

So? What are we going to do for your birthday?

Nothing.

Think again

Ummm something

Bingo.

What? Do remember you're 9, and we only just met, and we don't have our money yet.

I'll get back to you on that one. Anyway Ron's back and he's looking at us funny.

"So how do you play, is it like normal snap?" Harry asked Ron, acting as if he hadn't just been speaking to Ginny.

"Normal snap?" Ron asked confused.

"Yeah like you have to get two cards the same and then you say snap and you get those cards." Harry explained, knowing full well how to play.

"Ummm kinda, it's like this..." and Ron was off on his explaining again.

At Dinner, Percy didn't say a single word, the twins were making jokes to Ginny, some of which she had to admit were actually quite funny and Ron babbled on about how surprised he was about how good Harry was at exploding snap as he had never played it before and it usually takes a few games to get used to. Mrs Weasley was over the top jolly and Mr Weasley was quite, but he smiled at everyone at the table, including Harry, at least once. Harry and Ginny were also quite quiet, they were still getting the hang of this back in time thing and had decided to observe for a bit longer, before they contribute too much.

Dinner had been quite late that night, so after dinner they had hit chocolate in the living room before Harry, Ginny and Ron were all sent to bed. After Harry and Ginny got settled side by side in her small bed, Mr and Mrs Weasley came into her room. Harry and Ginny automatically separated slightly.

Mr Weasley smiled at them, "I'm just going to widen the bed a bit, it's really only meant for one person." He waved his wand and the bed grew sideways across the room.

"Thanks dad!" Ginny smiled at him.

"Good night both of you. If there is any trouble any trouble at all you just come get us ok?" Asked Mrs Weasley as she kissed them both on the forehead.

After her parents had left they settled back up against each other, comfortable with each other even in young bodies.

You never told me what your dad wanted to talk to you about

He wanted to apologise really for how he acted yesterday. It was quite sweet actually. He seemed quite nervous. He had this whole big speck about how he was going to support me no matter what happened. He is back to dad as we know him.

That's good. I'm really glad both your parents are accepting of this. I know we know we are old but we have to remember that to them you're only 9 and I'm not 11 yet. They think we are children, they'll treat us as children. It's going to be infuriating.

You wouldn't even let people treat you as a child when you were a child!

Goodnight Gin.

Night, sweetie.

Harry kissed the top of her head, you know sometimes I really wish this hadn't of happened, I know we we hopefully change this for the better but still.

I know.

With that they both drifted off into a shared dream.
