Thanks for the new alerts/favorites and reviews. I do not own HP or Glee.

Chapter 14
Harry ran through the almost empty halls of McKinley. Of course on the first day school starts again his alarm broke. of course on the first day that school starts again no one thinks of waking him up instead. Just great. the morning meeting of glee had started 10 minutes ago. He just prayed Mr. Schuester was late again (like most of the time). When he rounded the corner of the hallway where the choir room was Harry, again of course on the first day that school starts, saw his least favorite person in this town. Piers Polkiss.
"hey, scarface" he said loudly. Harry sighed, his destination had only been a few meters away.
"what do you want?" he asked annoyed.
"oh I just thought you looked a little feverish." Polkiss said in a fake worried tone. "here I'll help you cool of a little." he moved his arm that had been hiding behind his back and before Harry could move he was slapped in the face by the ice cold slushy. Harry heard Polkiss's Laughter fade away as the jock moved past him.
thankfully the stuff hadn't been able to reach his eyes. Harry put of his glasses and tried cleaning them with a not slushy covered part of his shirt. He was not good at cleaning spells and he hadn't brought a new outfit and since he was late already, he just walked into the choir room. As expected their teacher had yet to arrive.
Everyone saw him and winced.
"Hi" Harry said, wiping slushy of off his shirt.
"Oh Harry…" Hermione came rushing at him along with Tina. "not again.."
"you say it like it's my fault" Harry rolled his eyes.
Hermione ignored him. "it was Polkiss again, wasn't it?"
"yeah…" Harry sighed. He accepted the tissues Tina handed him. "thanks." He said to the girl then he turned back to Hermione. "I can't help it 'Mione. He hates me, I hate him. it's been like that forever. There's nothing I can do about it. so can you please stop acting like it's all my fault?"
"I know it's not your fault, Harry. I just think you should try harder to avoid the guy." She led him to the chairs and helped him clean up.
"yikes mate, the guy really has a problem with you." Ron said. he reached to pat Harry's shoulder but thought twice and waved instead.
"tell me about it."
Schuester entered the room and completely ignored the fact that one of his student had red slushy all over him. he just started his lesson about Ballads.
After glee Hermione dragged Harry into the girls Bathroom. She checked all the stalls before getting her wand out of her bag.
"Scourgify" she said and he was clean instantly.
"thanks" he said gratefully and stood up to leave.
"no no Harry wait" she said. Harry raised one eyebrow at her. with another flick of her wand his shirt had turned from Blue to Black. "we don't want anyone getting suspicious." She said with a small smile. Harry looked down at his shirt and back at his friend.
"Hermione you are the best." He grinned.
"hm" Hermione hummed. She smiled though. "now let's get to class."
Harry and Hermione walked into the History classroom. Harry walked over to Ron to sit next to him, Hermione went to sit in front of them on her own. Ron had his head lying on his desk, face down. Their teacher started her lesson on the middle ages.
"uhh.." Harry said. "are you okay over there?" Ron mumbled something that Harry didn't understand. "sorry didn't quite get that."
"I said I'm not." Ron said a bit louder. Hermione shot them warning look, signing they should be quiet. Harry rolled his eyes.
"why not?" he asked Ron.
"I don't understand anything and it's sooo boring." He yawned. "muggle history is weird, more than half the stuff isn't even accurate. Why bother to pay attention?"
"yeah," Harry laid his head on his desk as well. Ron did have a good point and he was pretty tired. "you're right." he said and he saw Ron smile contently.
"sleep sounds good, don't you think?" Ron asked.
"uhuh." Harry mumbled.
"night."
"g'night"
Hermione had just been taking notes when she heard a soft snore behind her. the boys had had been quiet the last 20 minutes. Maybe too quiet… she peeked over her shoulder to see both Harry and Ron fast asleep. Harry was snoring and Ron was drooling. Charming.
Funny, this didn't surprise her one bit. That didn't stop her from hitting them on the head with her notebook to wake them, though.
Harry groaned. Ron didn't move.
Hermione sighed and let them be. when they failed history, it wasn't her fault.
After another 30 minutes the bell rang and Harry and Ron were awake instantly.
"had a nice sleep?" Hermione asked nicely.
"yeah actually" Ron said, rubbing his eyes.
Hermione rolled her eyes. "I know you have a hard time with the" she lowered her voice. "muggle classes" she then spoke on normal volume again. "but you could at least try."
"we've tried." Harry defended.
"not hard enough." She spat. Ron and Harry stared at her blankly, clearly they didn't care in the slightest. Hermione huffed disapprovingly. "see you at glee" she said before she walked away to her French AP class.
She slammed her bag on the floor and sat down next to Kurt, who startled as the bag hit the ground.
He eyed her for a minute as she got her books.
"everything alright?" he asked a bit unsure.
"everything's fine" she snapped.
"you sure?"
Hermione shot him a death glare and he backed off and mouthed 'okay'. He just opened his book on page 394 when Hermione spoke again.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't let out my anger on you." Hermione sighed.
"no, you shouldn't." Kurt said, looking up from his book. "so why do?"
"just the boys were acting like idiots." She let her hands fall down on her desk. "They don't even try, you know?"
Kurt nodded sympathetically, though he had no clue what she was talking about.
Hermione smiled at him "thanks for understanding."
Kurt smiled back "no problem."
That's when the second bell rang, signaling all students should be in their classrooms.
Harry was at home. He left when he had a free period between math and glee. Hermione would probably scold him for skipping school but that didn't bother him.
He wanted to check something out,
~flashback~
Everyone was in the secret room looking for spells and potions to learn, Hermione insisted they'd go through their small library every now and then, when Ron spoke up.
"huh," he said. " did you know there is a spell that can show you your sexual orientation?"
"yeah I knew about it" Hermione answered absently, waving her hand dismissively.
"really?" Harry had asked, he sounded interested.
"guys, I don't think that spell is really useful." Hermione peeked over her book to look at them. "just keep looking for useful spells, alright?"
"yeah yeah yeah" Ron said. and he kept on skipping through the pages. Harry couldn't help but write the title of Ron's book down on a little piece of parchment and put it in his pocket.
~end flashback~
So here he was looking for the book called charms and enchantments for young witches and wizards edition 12. he didn't understand why but ever since Ron had mentioned the spell he just couldn't set it out of his mind. He was curious, okay?
After looking for 10 minutes he finally found it. Harry grinned, now he only had to find the spell. Which was an easy task as you only have to touch the book with your wand and think of the spell you want to find and the book simply opens on that page.
Harry did just that and read the page.
The sexual orientation spell.
This spell is used to determine the sexuality of the witch or wizard who casts it.
Instructions:
Say the words 'Mona Sexualis' while pointing your wand to a piece of parchment. If the spell went right, your sexuality will appear on the paper. *note: if it doesn't work, try again with a tap on the parchment.*
That doesn't really seem that hard, Harry thought.
How he could be so wrong.
He had tried the spell several times to find out he said "Sexualis Mona" instead of "Mona Sexualis" then he flicked his want too enthusiastic and set his paper on fire, which resulted into him finding a new piece of parchment. When he got that he suffered through another 30minutes trying. He honestly didn't understand why he couldn't do it.
Okay, Potter, you're a wizard, this is one of the easiest spells on earth. Get it together and just cast the freaking spell!
"Mona Sexualis" he shouted and tapped his wand against the parchment. Nothing.
Harry groaned in frustration and threw the parchment on the ground. He scratched his head and watched the stupid parchment lying there on the ground. He let his arm fall down again and picked up the parchment. He stroke the dust of off it with his hand and sat down on the couch. Then, to his astonishment, a word started to appear on the parchment in his hands. the process went really slow.
Harry honestly didn't care what he was. Gay, straight, bi. He would still be himself. it wouldn't change him. he would still be Harry James Potter, the chosen one, the boy who lived.
Harry hadn't noticed that his eyes were closed until he opened them again.
He read the word that was now clearly visible on the parchment.
A/N Ooohh cliffhanger! What do you think the parchment says?
(7-14-13 I wrote everything yesterday, except this. I'm glad I finished this chapter yesterday evening. It was before I knew Cory died. If I hadn't it wouldn't be posted now because I've been crying all day and haven't left my room. I never thought any glee cast members would die. I woke up and vaguely heard my sister say something about Cory and dead, but I was still sleepy so thought it was just some bad dream. Well, it wasn't. when I looked at my phone I saw that people had whatsapp'd me and Bente had tried to wake me because Cory was dead. Then my sister and parents walked in and asked if I knew. I said 'yes' and then I started crying. Haven't stopped till it was like 5 o'clock and after that I just felt empty and teared up again if I thought too much into it. I also haven't been able to edit this chapter because of this. I just wanna say I loved Cory and he really is/was an idol for me. My prayers go to Lea and his Friends and Family and of course everyone else in the fandom. Don't stop believing.)
