NOVEL NEXT Chapter 35: Promise
"Don't trust her" Harry replied "she's admitted one mistake she's made and only after everybody had to admit it, and that's the only thing she's apologised for. And as someone who knows what it's like not having friends, I can whole heartedly say she's lying"
"Oh I know" Ginny agreed "I've seen her hanging out with Lavender and the Patil twins"
"Then she tries to befriend you despite the fact that she seemed more interested in getting on my good side, then she leaves with that friend comment so we're left stuck thinking about it"
"I see what you mean" Ginny murmured in agreement
"Oh yeah I've forgot to tell you, I looked into our marriage contract and I managed to get a copy. Apparently I was wrong, your family did make a stipulation saying they'd get at least half of my money if I die"
"That's not good" Ginny sighed
"No but I have another option" Harry smiled
"What?"
"I think you and me can soul bond"
"You mean like in those fairy tales" Ginny raised an eyebrow
"Soul bonds are real" Harry assured her "it's just they're so rare that people think they're fake. I've looked up soul bonds, both participants need to be at least thirteen because that was the age of marriage a while back, meaning we could do one by our fourth year"
"Yeah but why would we? No offense but what does this have to do with the contract?"
"None taken" Harry replied "soul bonds do a few things. The first is increase the love the couple already possesses, the second is give them specific abilities like detecting each other's emotions, the ability to read each other's thoughts and the ability to teleport to wherever the soul mate is. It also acts as a legally binding marriage contract that would make us officially of age" Ginny's eyes widened
"The current contract is supposed to be carried out once we're of age, however one clause allowed it to be cancelled if the girl who in this case is you decides to break the contract. They raised you on stories about me so you'd never want that, but they kept their options open in case someone richer came along or they changed their mind"
"I can't believe them" Ginny voice was covered in disgust
"Sorry to tell you this, I know it upsets you but you need to know. If we soul bond then you've broken the contract by not fulfilling it and marrying me sooner than you were supposed to. You could cancel it anytime you want but I'd recommend waiting for us to soul bond first, that way your mum can't say anything because we'll be of age and capable of doing two things amongst others. That's do magic whenever we want and live wherever we want"
"You've got somewhere to live for us?" Ginny's eyes glazed with excitement
"Yeah but I'll tell you about it after this summer once your occlumency shields are strong enough to keep out Dumbledore"
"Fine" Ginny grumbled "but as for this whole soul bond business, count me in."
"You sure?" Harry asked, knowing the answer
"Hell yeah!" Ginny shouted "it's too late to back out now Potter, you're stuck with me"
Soon the train stopped and the two got out when they were met by the Weasley family, Mrs Weasley congratulated them on their relationship before reminding them they were too young to do certain things and engaging in another futile attempt to find out where Harry lived. Harry said goodbye and left with the promise of visiting over the summer. He arrived home and after sending a letter to Sirius he laid down in bed.
"I'm going to marry that girl, I bet you'd like her. Good night mum, goodnight dad" Harry whispered before falling asleep.
