"Yes, well, good morning, my dear boy." Dumbledore says, still standing in the doorway. "I must say, you gave all of us quite a scare,"

"I'm sorry, professor." I reply.

"Now, all of you clear out. Except you, Miss Weasley." Ginny stops on her way out and turns back around.

"Yes, of course, sir." Ginny says nervously. I sit on the bed as Ginny sits next to me.

"Now Harry, why didn't you tell anyone about the abuse?" He asks looking over his half-moon glasses.

"I'd," I hesitate, "I'd thought I deserved it."

"But, why?" Dumbledore asks.

"I've been taught all my life that I'm a failure, a- a burden. I'm the reason," I pause. "I'm the reason Sirius is dead."

"Harry, that's not true. It wasn't your fault! You saved me from Tom Riddle's diary in your second year! You saved my life, Harry!" Ginny screams at me tears in her eyes. "You're a bloody hero, for Merlin's sake!"

"Ahh, I see. Miss Weasley, would you like to know why I kept you in here?" Dumbledore asks, a special twinkle in his eye. Ginny looks at him questioningly. "Miss Weasley, it seems as though you are somehow connected to Harry. A magical bond of some sort, though I'm not completely sure how. You seem to be the only one that can truly and fully connect with him. I suspect that your exposure to Tom's diary may have left unforeseen effects, a bond with Harry. As you said yourself, he saved you." a twinkle lit up his crystal blue eyes. Ginny stared at him in awe.

"But I'm not in any way special at all. Me? Are you... Sure?" Her face turned a shade of red, as she fidgeted with her long ginger hair.

"Yes dear, I'm quite sure. You have a bond with Harry, a bond that can be created one of two ways. There is a spell that can create such a bond, but your bond is much stronger than any I have previously seen. You see, your bond was created the moment Harry found you in the chamber. It strengthened when he saved you, and the more you are around each other this bond will continue to grow." his eyes seem to twinkle brighter with each word. "I believe that in time, you will be able to do things that even I can not hope to do. You make each other stronger. I want to test your powers soon. In the second week of school we will begin lessons in my office. You will each receive a letter with the time and password for the first lesson. You two are going to hold such power, I can't imagine any bond stronger than the one you have. Remember, love strengthens, but hatred weakens."
