Title: Conversation

Author: Erik deSoir

Disclaimer: Me no own, you no sue.

Pairing: Mentions of H/D

Warnings: Hints of a male/male relationship.

Note: This little drabble was inspired from looking at all of my Harry Potter pictures. I have several of them, and not all of them are of just Harry or Draco. I have a lot of the parent's generation in the bag of goodies. I recently copied several hundred from a good friend of mine. I happened upon a doujinshi that was in what I got from her and read it. It was Remus and Sirius remembering when James discovered Remus to be a werewolf. It ended with Remus and Sirius talking in "present-day," and they happened to be sitting in the wreckage of the Potter's home. The doujinshi ended on them noting Harry's being alive. To quote it, Sirius says, "Harry is here." Remus replies by saying, "Yes." This made me wonder if James would like the way fandom Harry has turned out. I have paired Harry up with Draco just for convenience's sake, and have disregarded Voldemort's existence altogether (we'll just say he was defeated before Harry was born, yeah?). My thought was, if Harry had led a completely normal life and happened to be gay, what would his father say? 274 words.

Another note: This little drabble has spawned several others. I want everyone to know that this conversation takes places after all of them. Also, I have renamed them officially to go in chronological order, but to show you how out of order I wrote them, I kept the original numbering on the inside title.

"You're not disappointed in the way I turned out, are you?"

"Good gods, Harry, where would you get an idea like that?"

(scruffs shoe, looking down) "I dunno. I mean, I never was as rambunctious as you were when you were at Hogwarts. And then I start dating guys, which is something I'm sure you never thought of in your life. You were always in love with Mum, right? I dunno, I just don't seem to've…"

"Harry," (cut off and a sigh) "Harry, just because you have a level head on your shoulders, and you never went looking for trouble like I did doesn't mean you disappoint me. I've always been overly proud of you. Look at you! What parent wouldn't be? Although I do attribute your cool hair cut to myself." (smirk)

"Dad, really. I think the only people who like it are you and Draco. …And maybe Sirius."

(Laughs a little) "Sirius always did have bad taste."

"Where is he now anyway?"

"I think he and Moony are in Greece this summer. Gods, will they be tan when they get back."

"What do you think of Draco? I know you act nice to his face, but what do you really honestly think of him?"

"Honestly? Hmm, have to think about that. I like that you like him."

"That doesn't answer my question, Dad."

(sigh) "I think he's an arrogant, aristocratic, pompous, ass."

(laughing a little) "That's half his charm."

"He treats you well, though. He's obviously loony about you, everyone can see it." (laughs a little) "He gives into your every whim. It's quite amusing to watch, really."

"Thanks, Dad."

"Anytime, Harry."
