The train whistle sounded as the train came to a stop at the Hogwarts platform, students pushing their way off of the train and towards the school, wanting to get off before the next person, everyone excited to finally be back at Hogwarts. Harry stepped off the train with Ron, taking in a breath of fresh air, looking around at all the familiar faces and the familiar landscape of Hogwarts, he was finally home, finally back to where he belonged, it felt so good to finally be back at Hogwarts, the only place Harry truly felt at home, the place that every year took him away from hell, and his so called family.
Ron quietly watched Harry, he could tell that the other boy was glad to finally be back at Hogwarts, and that he would finally be able to relax for a while without having to worry about the torture his "family" bestowed on him. Harry's eyes wandered from the castle and back over to Ron, smiling lightly.
"Ron, you have no idea how good it feels to finally be back at Hogwarts."
Ron smiled back, his fiery hair hanging down into his eyes.
"I know you always look forward to Hogwarts, it has always been more of a home to you than any place else."
Ron gently took Harry's hand into his own, watching him, enjoying the smile on the other boys face while the other students made their way up to the Castle, all other life gone from the trains platform. Ron glanced up at the sky, watching the stars, deep in thought before he spoke in a hushed tone.
"Harry... can we talk?"
Harry glanced over at Ron warily.
"Sure, what about Ron?"
Ron's eyes kept focused on the night sky, trying to think of the best way to word it, never having been very good at wording things in the first place, always having a tendency of having the things he is trying to say come out completely in the wrong way.
"Harry... I have liked you for a long time, since first year actually.. I just never knew how to tell you, I was afraid you would hate me or think that the only reason I liked you was because you where famous, I never wanted you to think that... I was also afraid that you might not be so accepting of gays, being gay in the Wizarding world is completely normal, but in the muggle world... not so much I mean... at least that was what I heard and..."
Ron groaned, once again what he was trying to say was coming out completely wrong, it was sounding like he was accusing Harry of being homophobic, the red head placed his hand to his own head thinking.. 'oh god, I'm such an idiot'...
"Sorry... that didn't come out right Harry...I didn't mean to make it sound like you where homophobic, or a bad friend or..."
Harry smiled watching Ron.
"When does anything you say ever come out right Ron? Don't worry about it, I know what you are trying to say, and I don't mind that you are gay, or that you like me"
Harry glanced to the side, he didn't want to hurt Ron's feelings but he felt he had to tell him the truth.
"Look Ron... I'm not sure if I am gay, but I do know that I care about you a lot, more than anyone else for that matter, and I am sure that the feelings I have for you are more than just feelings for a normal friend..."
Ron watched Harry confused by everything that was being said.
"What kind of feelings do you mean?"
Harry scratched the side of his head blushing.
"The kind of feelings where I can't stand being apart from you... that... I think about you all the time, and I sometimes have moments where I want to kiss you.."
Ron choked in surprise, his cheeks and ears turning a dark red.
"Oh... um ... I want to kiss you too Harry... but I want more than just that... I mean... I want to be able to protect you, I want to be there for you and stop anyone from hurting you...I...I want to be your boyfriend Harry."
Harry stared at Ron in utter surprise, had Ron just asked him to be his boyfriend, did he really want that, even after everything Harry had told him about what Dudly had done...Harry's mind wondered off, thinking about everything, would it really be such a bad thing, dating Ron, he did like Ron, and they had been friends forever, he could easily imagine himself being with Ron, and not just for a little bit, for a very, very long time. Harry Nodded.
"Alright"
Ron grinned widely, unable to contain his excitement.
"Really?! You mean it Harry, you really want to be Boyfriends?"
Harry nodded again and smiled.
"Yes Ron, Really."
