Hey, this is my first story that is being published, so don't be too harsh! Um, I don't own anything but my thoughts and dreams… sadly, all characters belong to JK Rowling, and so does the story line of HP. (except AJ and Jace. They are my only characters besides unimportant people named in passing) So anyways, hope you enjoy!!! (ShikaNejiLuv this is for u!! to HD SMEXY-NESS!!!!)

Harry sat in the owlry, during his free period. He'd beed going to Hogwarts for 5 years now, and had developed many relationships. Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley were his two best friends. And his worst enemy, well, that was in school at least, was Draco Malfoy. The reason for Harry's being in the owlry was that he needed a place to think privately, he loved his friends dearly, and they knew everything about him, except this. Ron couldn't know this! It was way too… strange.

Harry's POV

'OMG. I can't believe this!! I can't be…. I mean, I'm NOT a…' I think.

"Ugh!!!" I shout, startling the owls, 'I'm not a fruit!" I think, 'I can't be gay!' I feel wetness, and look for the rain, but there isn't a cloud in the sky, it's a perfect day. So I just accept the tears and let them fall. 'Last night, with Fred, it wasn't… I… Fuck! Ok, he fucked me, gave me a blowjob, and I got off.' I think as my head falls into my hands and I give myself up to the sobs trying to rip out my throat.

I sit there, among the owls, crying, until I hear a noise. I hastily shut up and wrap my invisibility cloak around me, effectively shielding me from view. The footsteps get louder, and my body tenses, waiting. Hermione's bushy haired head pops around the corner.

"Harry?" I sigh and pull off the cloak, but keep my head down.

"Harry, there you are, where have you been? We've been looking everywhere for you!" she walks to me and sits down.

"What's wrong Harry?" she asks, patting my knee.

"Nothing." my voice is muffled by my knees, which I am holding to my chest, and resting my head on.

"Harry, I know you better than that, something's wrong, and I'd like it a lot if you'd tell me." She says, I sigh and peek up at her, hoping she wouldn't see my year-streaked face.

"Please tell me Harry." she repeats softly. "Promise you won't hate me, and you won't tell?" my voice quivers.

"I could never hate you Harry, and I promise I won't tell." she replies sincerely. "Ok, um, well…Hermione… Fuck…I'm sorry, I can't say it…" I say and she scoots closer, "Whenever you're ready, honey. I can't judge you, I already know you, so I know that no matter what, you're still you, and you're a great person Harry."

I love Hermione; she always knows just what to say to make me feel better. "IsleptwithFredlastnightandIthinkI'mgay!" it bursts from my lips quickly, damn traitors, those lips of mine are!

Her shock shows for a second, but it's soon replaced by a warm smile. "Really? That's great Harry!" she says and I raise my head to look at her. "How is that great Hermione?" I ask. "Ginny's trying to find you and ask you to Hogsmeade with her, and I knew that you didn't like her that way, but she insists that you answer her to her face, so now you can go with mw, and we can talk!" she smiles.

"… Ginny is… HIS SISTER HERMIONE!!!! I can't tell her that stuff!!" I practically shout.

"And you don't have to tell her! Just say that you already planned to go with me, and she'll lay off!!" she smiles and I look at her, "Are you sure?" I ask.

"Almost positive, c'mon!" She pulls me up and I wipe my tears away. "Thanks for telling me Harry," I smile. "It's no problem Hermione, really, I needed to tell someone." she smiles back and I hold out my arm. "Shall we?" she puts her arm through mine.

"We shall!" she replies, and we walk down the hallways like that, smiling all the way to the common room.
