Set in ron's pov

Please R&R!!!

I couldn't believe this. My life wasn't weird enough? My new best friend was the boy who lived. My dad has been talking about him for as long as I could remember and now here he is taking me to some forbidden part of the castle under his invisibility cloak. He was so excited to show me this thing and I just couldn't say no. it was only my first year and harry was going to get me expelled! We finally arrived all I saw in the room was this huge ugly mirror. Harry ran to it and just sat there and smiled.

"what's going on harry?"

"come look yourself! It's my parents!!!!!!"

"harry it's late. your confused. Let's just go before we get into trouble."

"come on!!! Look!"

I walked towards the thing and was shocked. I couldn't believe it. I knew it couldn't be harry's parents but I was not expecting this at all. All I saw in the mirror was me and harry kissing and him telling me over and over how much he loved me.

"do you see them Ron?"

"no. it's not your parents"

"well what do you see then?"

Oh crap I didn't think this far ahead. I had to make something up fast.

" uh I see me. I've just won the quidditch cup. I'm captain! And I'm head boy!" it sounded stupid and fake but it's the first thing that came to mind. Harry frowned.

"you… you don't see my parents? But… how?"

"I don't know harry sounds like something to ask Dumbledore. Let me know when you find out. Now can we go to bed!?"

"yeah okay"

I did find out what it meant eventually. You see your hearts true desire. My heart desired harry. I honestly wasn't that surprised. I've always known that I have been different. I never really looked at girls. When the other guys were rating girls butts I was always rating theirs. When the girls were getting ready they always told us not to look. I never even thought about it. When harry first told me about me about his thing for cho I told him I didn't have any advice because I had no experience with girls and it was true.

Finally fifth year came and I couldn't hold it any longer. I cornered him before he went to bed one night.

"harry I need to talk to you."

"what's going on?"

" is there any possibility that you are gay?"

I could see that he was surprised his eyes widened and he took a few steps back.

"uh no not really… why?"

"because I am… and I think no, I know that I am in love with you."

"wow ron… you are my best friend. I love you too just not like that. Sorry."

"it's okay I figured as much."

"I really am sorry but I love Hermione."

"oh."

"but she doesn't love me… she loves you ron"

"wow really?"

"yes she told me. She will never think of me as more than a friend. But you don't have to live a lie-"

"yes I do harry if I can't be with you I will be living a lie. Ginny loves you too."

We looked at each other for a while.

"good night ron."

"good night." He began walking away from me " oh and harry?"

"yeah?"

" we never speak of this again."

"agreed."

We kept that promise nobody but harry knew my secret. I married Hermione even though neither harry or I wanted it but we loved Hermione enough to make her happy. She deserved it. Harry married my sister even though he didn't really love her. We both chose to live a life of lies. To this day I still dream of harry potter and that stupid gaudy mirror that changed my life forever.
