Chapter .
Harry Potter had never heard of "Puberty" before. The Dursleys had taken their "no-questions-allowed" to the extreme, and Harry was oblivious to what puberty was and all related to it. Yet magic was not the only thing he learned in Hogwarts.
It all started when Harry was chosen to be Gryffindor's new seeker. He was taken to the quidditch field by Oliver Wood to be introduced to quidditch's principles. After a while of practice he and Oliver got dirty and sweaty, so Oliver announced it was time to "hit the showers"
When they got to the locker room, Harry realized he wouldn't have privacy to change at all, much to his dismay.
"What's wrong?" asked Wood.
"Nothing" answered Harry, his voice shaking a little.
Wood proceeded to undress easily and with no shame.
"You're going to keep standing there or what?" asked Oliver, naked in all his glory.
"Yeah, coming" said Harry, keeping his gaze on the wall.
As Oliver entered the showers, Harry started to undress. Oliver's nudity may have given more trust to undress before him, but it also opened a whole lot of questions. Harry couldn't get off his mind the idea of Oliver naked. He had seen Dudley naked before, by accident, and he had seen Seamus too, because he like to wander a lot in the nude; but never had he seen a naked young boy before. And what striked him mostly is that Oliver had hair, there.
Harry got in the shower trying to get another look at Oliver, thinking that maybe he had imagined the whole hair thing. Yet the steam was too dense and Oliver too far, for Harry to get a good look. Oliver finished his shower before Harry and therefore finished dressing first.
Harry returned that night to the Gryffindor tower without catching a glimpse at Oliver's penis, and with a lot of questions in his head.
Harry had so many questions yet he had no one to ask them to. He couldn't go with a question like this to the Dursley's, or to Hagrid for that matter; no, what he really needed was someone he could trust no matter what, someone who was on the same boat as him, someone like Ron. Yes, Ron was the answers, or at least, he had the answers.
Harry waited one day when only he and Ron were in the tower alone, did he have the nerve the ask him.
"Hey Ron" said Harry nervously.
"Yeah"
"I was wondering, well more...hum...I don't know how to say this"
"What is it, mate, you can tell me anything"
"You sure?"
"Yeah"
"Well, the thing is..er... I was in the locker room the other day, and I well, I saw Oliver naked, and I could tell there was, well, some differences in his body"
"By differences you mean?" Ron raised his eyebrows.
"Well you know, he was taller" said Harry casually "and he had well, hair down there."
"Oh that" said Ron with a laugh "What's wrong about that?"
"Well, I didn't know guys had hair down there"
"Sure, everybody does" said Ron casually.
"Do you?" asked Harry in disbelief.
"Well, er, not yet" said Ron, his ears going red "I mean you need to go through puberty first"
"What's puberty?"
"Seriously? You don't know?" asked Ron in total disbelief.
"Seriously" said Harry a little bit ashamed of himself now.
Ron explained what puberty was and everything related to it, after a while Harry understood a little bit better everything.
"So don't worry, one day you will have hair down there, just like Oliver" said Ron.
"Weird"
"I know, but hey when I get mine I'll show you"
"We'll see who gets first" said Harry with a laugh, glad that now he had a better understanding of the world.
