Part 1

When his godson entered the sitting room, Harry glanced up and took one look at his godson before asking in a light hearted voice "So rough day at the office?"

"Well y- no, not exactly. I uh-" Teddy stuttered.

Harry, realising something was definitely off, scrutinised his usually confident godson. He looked agitated and was pacing around the room, unable to keep still. Harry flicked his eyes to Teddy's hair. Uh oh. The last time his hair was his natural brown which was his hair colour now, Teddy was nine asking Harry who his parents were and whether they loved him. Teddy's natural hair colour only showed if he was extremely worried or upset. Acknowledging this, Harry gave his godson his full attention.

"Teddy, you are my godson. I love you just as much as I do Jamie, Al or Lily. You can tell me anything that is bothering you," he told the pacing man.

Harry's declaration was greeted by silence. After ten minutes of watching Teddy pace in tense silence, Harry opened his mouth to provide further encouragement but was beaten to it by Teddy's exclamation.

"I just told my girlfriend of three years I was gay in the middle to the crowded Auror department" He gushed, collapsing into the armchair opposite Harry's.

Harry leant back into his armchair and was silent for a few moments. "So when did you realise your preference towards men?" He asked frowning.

"Well, um it sort of came to my notice during Hogwarts and-"

"So this was before you began dating Victoire?" Harry interrupted, disapproval evident in his tone.

Teddy's hand covering his face muffled his answer "I thought it was a phase. I mean I was attracted to Victoire so I thought – I don't know what I thought- I mean I thought she was attractive so I couldn't be gay right?" He got up and resumed his pacing.

"So by dating her you were proving you were straight?" Harry asked his flustered godson.

"Well I thought so, but at the same time, I was realised I didn't care for her like I should, I noticed that she was the only girl I was attracted to" Teddy put his head in his hands. "Is this making any kind of sense to you?"

Harry decided to take pity on Teddy. "Well Victoire is part Veela, so that would explain why you were attracted to someone who isn't – erm - your type"

"She's part Veela?!" Teddy turned his wild eyes on Harry. "Why didn't I know this?"

"Well, after the war we just didn't see the point of mentioning that Fleur was part Veela," Harry explained. "The family didn't want any more attention than what we were already getting. I wasn't aware she was using her Veela powers on you… maybe she didn't even know she was."

By now Teddy had stopped pacing and collapsed back into the armchair. "I realised I didn't like her enough to continue being her boyfriend, so that's why I broke up with her yesterday. Today, she came into the office demanding to know why I broke up with her. I kept giving her reasons, but she kept on asking until I told her I was gay!"

"What better way to make a girl lose interest?" Harry said, unable to hide his amusement.

"Everyone's going to hate me!"

Harry sighed. "Yes, there is a possibility that some people will hate you, discriminate against you."

Teddy looked up, the anguish in his eyes evident. Harry returned his gaze. "But know this Teddy; you will always have the support and love of Ginny, Me and the rest of the family," Harry paused and grinned. "Though you may want to stay away from Fleur and Bill for a while though."
