A/N: Scorbus is real. Do not argue :D
Albus Severus Potter was feeling nervous. He was home for Christmas during his Fifth-Year at Hogwarts and he had a confession to make to his father, Harry Potter, about his current relationship status and overall ... preferences.
Ever since the fiasco with the time-turner, father and son had mended their relationship. No longer were accusations like "sometimes I wish you weren't my father/ son" flouted around the house and Albus's personal insecurities of being a disappointment lessened by the day.
Still, there was still one area that stirred up his feelings of unease: Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy. Early in the year, the two had discovered that they harboured intimate feelings towards each other, feelings that were no longer confined to the platonic. In October, Scorpius had broken up with Rose Weasley after a lukewarm, lacklustre summer fling. In November, Albus and Scorpius were caught snogging in the Astronomy Tower by a gleeful Lily Luna Potter. In December, now, Albus plans to confess it all to his father.
"Dad?" He begins. "I have something to tell you.
"Yes, son?" Harry prods gently.
"I'm in a relationship," Albus admits, keeping this painstakingly vague.
"And who's the lucky girl?" Harry smiles.
"It's not a girl - Dad, I'm gay. I'm dating Scorpius Malfoy. We kissed, we made out and he's invited me to spend the second half of the Christmas holidays with him. I love him dad, I really do and I don't think I can live without him." The dam was shattered; the words came flooding out.
Silence.
"Dad? Are you fine with this?"
"Albus Severus Potter," Harry lectured in a grave and serious voice, full of weight and meaning. "You were named after two Hogwarts headmasters. One of them was gay and he was one of the most awesome people I know. Really, he may have been a manipulative old coot but he was still awesome - and brave. He was the only one Voldemort feared. And he was gay - madly in love with Gellert Grindelwald and all. And he was gay-"
"For fuck's sake..."
