(Ron's P.O.V)
It was quite a relief. After keeping the fact that I was gay hidden for so long I thought I might explode if another person accused me of liking Hermione again.
I was quite fine with my label at Hogwarts being "Harry Potters best friend" because I was his best friend. And I really didn't want my label to change to the schools only gay person…supposedly.
In Double Potions we had a test. A written test, the first one of the year. We all sat at our tables scribbling down hopeful answers. I glanced around the classroom. Hermione and a few other students were done. Malfoy was done. He looked over at me. Harry glared at him. Draco laughed and turned away.
I smiled. Harry was back to frantically writing down answers as the clock behind us ticked slowly, telling us to hurry because class was almost over. I jotted down a lame excuse for an answer to the last question and brought my test to the front of the classroom. As I walked back I heard a whisper and soon I was falling to my knees. Trip Jinx. I looked around and saw Draco laughing. I quickly got to my feet and rushed back to my table after Harry took the jinx off.
(Ron's P.O.V because I suddenly started typing "Ron" instead of "I" and was too lazy to change it)
"What is up with him lately?" Hermione murmured, "The past few weeks he's been torturing you more often."
Ron shrugged.
Harry looked up slowly from his test.
"Does he know?" he asked softly.
Ron shifted in his seat and said,
"It might have slipped out?"
"Slipped out?" Harry whispered sharply, "How could something like that slip out?"
"Let's talk after class," said Ron quickly as Snape gave the a sharp look.
So after class Harry and Hermione cornered Ron.
"Look…" said Ron slowly, taking a deep breath, "We were having a very casual conversation after a game a while ago and for a few minutes we were getting along. The topic came up somehow and then…I said that I was gay and he…" Ron muttered something very quickly that neither Harry nor Hermione could understand it, Ron repeated it slower, "He told me he was, too."
"So what's with the torture?" Hermione demanded.
"It's just our way of saying we won't tell anyone," said Ron, "If you notice, he may be tormenting me more, but its less harsh. I mean…we kind of have a connection now."
"How the bloody hell can you trust him with something like that?" Harry snapped sharply.
Ron was getting fed up with the looks of surprise he was getting from Harry and Hermione.
"Really, Ron," agreed Hermione.
"He has so far," mumbled Ron, watching their figure of topic walking out of the Potions classroom.
"How do you know he'll continue?" Hermione asked him, "He could spill any day, Ron."
"But he won't," said Ron firmly as the warning bell rang.
"He might," Harry tried to convince him.
"He won't," Ron snapped.
"How do you know?" Harry demanded.
Ron finally snapped. He threw his books down and then snapped rather loudly,
"Because he's my boyfriend!"
I have two ideas. Which do you prefer:
Draco finding out Ron just told and he dumps Ron. The twins find out and got to the school to beat up Draco (this is put very bluntly, I would write it much better :P)
or
Harry avoids Ron and tells everyone in a not so goodly (yes, goodly, I have horrible vocabulary when I'm not writing stories) way that Ron is gay...to the rest of Ron's family.
Or give me other ideas. I might combine a few.
Sorry this was so short.
Please review so I know I'm still doing good.
