... Merlin, please don't tell me Ginny's pregnant." Both teenagers turned bright red. "No!" they exclaimed in unison, utterly embarrassed. Minerva let out a sigh of relief. Thank Merlin. "Then what is the matter?" Harry bit his lip and swallowed harshly. "What do you know about soul bonds?" he asked tentatively. Minerva frowned, but it was Sirius who replied. "There are many different types of bonds, some of the weaker ones being used in weddings. They give spouses a deeper insight to their partner, and sometimes even an emotional connection. There are also life bonds, formed when someone saves another person, risking their own life in the process…" he trailed off, and looked, wide-eyed, at Harry. "The Chamber," he whispered. Harry grimaced and shook his head. "Close, Padfoot, but not exactly. We thought that may have something to do with it, but there's one major difference between life bonds and true soul bonds. With a true soul bond, the couple is able to speak mentally. And life bonds don't necessarily mean the pair will be a couple. They'll just always be in the each other's lives." The two adults looked at him, and raised their eyebrows. Harry shrugged. "We looked up all the information we could, to try and figure out what was going on." Sirius leaned forward.

It took another couple of months before we could communicate silently, and that's when we knew that it was a true soul bond, not a life bond." "Why wait this long to tell us?" Minerva asked, a little shakily. There hadn't been a reported soul bond in at least six hundred years. Harry shrugged, and Ginny tensed slightly. "We weren't quite sure what it meant, at first, and then…" He looked at Ginny. "It's sort of private. We didn't really feel comfortable sharing." "So what changed?" Sirius asked curiously. Harry looked at his godfather. "I can feel the bond getting stronger. Sharptooth told us last year that it hadn't been completed yet." He and Ginny both blushed, recalling the circumstances that would lead to their bond being completed. They had made a promise that it wouldn't happen for another year, and they would stick to that deal. "You talked to Sharptooth about this?" Harry nodded ruefully. "Apparently Goblins can sense the bond. As can other magical races. He told me that in the eyes of the Goblins, I was emancipated the moment the bond snapped into place. I'm entitled to my full inheritance, and…" he ...
