On the outside Number 4 Privet Drive looked perfectly normal, in fact if you asked the neighbours they would all agree.

Most would tell you how jealous they were because the Dursley's have a landscaper and housekeeper , but what they don't know is who that person was, if they did they would probably scream and run in the other direction.

The huge secret that the Dursley's are hiding is that their landscaper and housekeeper is Petunia's sister's son, Harry Potter, but the bigger secret is the fact that Harry is a wizard. One of the most famous wizards, a saviour, a hero, a boy wonder.

Here in Little Whinging he was a servant and house elf, he was scum. He had no friends, because he wasn't allowed to go out. He didn't get presents from the Dursley's and for the first 11 years of his life he was living in a cupboard.

In the past six years he had been going to a wizarding, boarding school of sorts, called Hogwarts. Here he has experienced many a near death situation.

The reason: he is the only person to survive the killing curse Avada Krevada. And the person who cast it on him has been trying to correct his past mistake ever since, his name, Lord Voldemort, or Tom Riddle.

Voldemort is the reason that Harry has to stay at his Aunt and Uncles every year, he is the reason Harry's teen life so far has been full of hardship, the reason his friend Cedric died, the reason his parents died, the reason the only family he had left after that, his godfather, Sirius Black died, not weeks before, during a battle at the Ministry of Magic.

Harry has never had a real childhood, he never had a normal teenager period either, and what he doesn't know is that this next year is going to be even more confusing, and filled with just as much craziness as the year before.

********

"What the HELL was that!" Harry gasped as he sat up from a dream, "what was that, what just happened?"

His dream started normal enough, Harry and Ginny kissing and holding hands and talking while taking long walks, and then out of no where, during a more heated moment between them his dream changed.

Ginny's voluptuous chest, turned into a flat and toned one, her lovely soft arms turned into those of a rippling male. His dream turned from him and a girl, to him and a boy? Man?

Who was that? Why didn't they have a face? In my subconscious do I know who it is? Have I met this person? Am I GAY? No this can't be right! I'm NOT! All these thoughts quickly rushed through Harry's head, after he woke up.

"Why can't I ever be normal?" he asked himself out loud. I have a maniac out to kill me, my parents died, my godparent died, I'm the saviour of the wizarding world, but on top of that now I have to be gay? Why can't I be straight, marry Ginny and have tons of kids?

But Harry's life never goes as planned and this isn't any different. For the next couple of weeks until he was allowed to join Ron and Hermione at the Burrow, he wondered who this faceless man was, and when he will be able to meet him.

*******

"Oh! Harry! You're here, oh Thank Gosh your okay, we were so worried, we haven't heard from you, and we didn't know when you were coming, you have no idea how panicked we were!" Hermione got out all in one breath, squeezing the life out of Harry while she spoke.

"Oi, mate, she's gotta point there, why haven't we heard from you?" Ron asked as he came over to the pair of them. "we got no owls from you, is everything ok?" the look of concern on Ron's face was touching, but Harry couldn't bring himself to tell them both the mental battles that were going through his head on a regular basis.

"I'm great Ron, but I didn't send any owls because I knew I would be seeing you soon, but also because I knew I would see you soon, plus I wasn't really ready for talk yet, you know with Sirius and everything, but I am good now and I definitely can not wait to catch up," Harry's voice wasn't so convincing but it didn't seem to register with Ron, but Hermione noticed something was up.

"Oh, Okay Harry, so I think you should go and greet all of the family and then we can go to Ron's room and talk.," Hermione suggested.

"That sounds great 'Mione, ya, I think I will go say hello to everyone else and then I really do feel like I need to talk a bit, I've been secluded waaaaaaay too long," with that Harry went to find the rest of the family.

Ginny found him first and also gave him a huge hug, and Harry really, really hoped that he would feel something but,

Ugh, nothing, absolutely nothing, the only thing I'm feeling is that I want to be a protective big brother to her, I want to make sure she is happy and safe, but I really can't see myself with her, kissing her or doing anything else with her, and if I can's with her then I won't with any girl.

"Hey Gin, long time no see, how have you been?" Harry asked in earnest.

"Oh I've been great, it's been a really good summer, actually I am seeing someone and it's getting kind of serious, but I haven't been able to tell anyone in my family, they would freak out you see? But I think I can trust you, so if you come meet me in the backyard later I'll tell you, ok?" she asked slightly hesitantly.

Harry was quick to reassure her, "Yes of course you can trust me Gin, and I have something that I don't think I can tell anyone else, so I would be happy to meet you later, just have to talk to Ron and 'mione first."

"Ok, see ya later then!" she called over her shoulder as she began to walk towards the kitchen.

Next to come was Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, it was the normal "Oh Harry dear, it's lovely to see you," and "it's good to have you hear son," they always seem like Harry's adopted or foster family.

As he was leaving the dining room, he bumped into Fred and George.

"Well if it isn't…"

"are very best…"

"and only ever…"

"investor and…"

"our honorary…"

"brother whom…"

"we love."

Fred and George said completing each others sentences, it was always freaky when they did that, its as if they could read each others mind, but really Harry thought it was because they practiced these things before hand.

"Hi, guys its good to see you, so I'm guessing that my little investment helped you guys a lot then?"

"Oh it really did, the only problem…"

"Mom and dad are very…"

"mad at us for leaving…"

"school when we did and…"

"she is making us go…"

"back after the war is over."

They said together, with identical downcast looks on their face.

"Well, you do need to finish your education eventually, but for now I'm glad you are doing well, but I have to go now, Ron and 'Mione are waiting for me in Ron's room," and with that he started up the stairs, dreading the conversation he was about to endure.

*******

The conversation went as Harry expected it too, they asked how he was, he told them. They asked what he was feeling, he told them that he was getting better, that it wasn't hurting as much now. They asked how the Dursley's treated him and he fully lied. Then they asked about how he felt with Sirius again he lied and told them that he was fine. And lastly they asked Harry if he had romantic feelings towards anyone. They clearly, like every other member of the family wanted him and Ginny to get together and then he really would be family, but he unlike everyone else already knew that she was in a relationship with someone already.

He decided to play along and he excused himself, to go talk to Ginny, leaving Ron and Hermione with elated faces.

"Hey Gin," he called as he came into the garden, he sat down on the bench with her and grabbed her hand, creating a lovely picture for those watching inside and indubitably there was someone.

"Hey Ry," she replied squeezing his hand back, "so I wanted to tell you who it was I am seeing, cuz I knew that you would, if not understand, that you would support me."

"Its true, I will but I have a secret that I need to tell you too, and like you said, even if you don't understand but I too know that you will support me.

"Ok I will start then, so umm this is kind of hard but the guy I'm seeing, well you hate him, and really wont like that I'm see…" Harry put up his hand to stop her.

"It's Malfoy, isn't it?" he asked calmly.

"Ya, Oh my gosh, how did, how did you know that?" she asked incredulously.

"Because of how you said I hated him, and because that narrows it down to six people in the world, Voldemort, Snape, my family and of course Malfoy, so it was pretty obvious who you are seeing, but Gin that's ok, as long as you are happy, but my news is slightly bigger, and I just found out, er, figured out rather. Well umm I'm, well I'm pretty sure anyway, that well I'm…" like he did not moments earlier, she interrupted him.

"You are Gay, aren't you, that's what you are about to say right?" she asked confidently.

"How did you know that?" Harry couldn't wrap his head around it, "do I act it, I mean I'm not really even sure yet myself, how could you just guess that."

"Well I heard about what you said about your kiss with Cho, and the way you were wording it just then, oh and on top of that I've never really heard about you talking about liking anyone, let alone a girl," Ginny's eyes were sparkling now. "Ok, lets do an actual test, I'll kiss you and if you feel anything then you are not gay, otherwise you know what that means."

She leaned over, her face inching closer and closer, Harry closed his eyes and held his breath, waiting. He finally felt a soft light pressure on his lips, Ginny's lips smelt like vanilla, they were so sweet and overly soft, he couldn't really let himself enjoy it, and then it ended.

"So anything?" but the look in her eye told her she already knew.

"Nope nothing, I really wanted to, I want to be normal, but no nothing." Harry was relieved and sad by this revelation.

"Oh Harry, you are normal, so many wizards are gay, and if they aren't gay then they're flamboyant, you have nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about, love, and I will always support you, even if others don't get it." She told him squeezing his hand even harder and pulling him into a tight embrace.

"Oh Gin, you are a great friend, thanks so much, but I, ahem, have a feeling that every member of your household saw us just then, and any who didn't will of heard about it by the time we get back in there," he said breaking off.

"Oh I know what you're getting at, you want us to pretend date, well I think that's a really good idea, however I will have to mention it to Draco," Harry cringed at the name, but Ginny ignored it, "but in order for him to accept this I will have to tell him you are gay, is that ok?"

"Yes Gin, it will be a really good decoy actually, so I guess we should go deal with the clan," they stood up clasped hands and walked to the house.
