Chapter 2:: Acceptance
The two weeks that Harry had to wait until he was able to go to Ron's had come and gone. Harry had received an owl from Ron telling Harry to pack his things and be ready for him to come get him Tuesday at 11:30am. Harry had packed his things 2 days early in anticipation. He knew that Mrs. Weasley was going to come in a normal car to get him so as to not create a huge kerfuffle. The Weasley family loved him like a son, and would do anything to make sure that Harry was happy. They all knew of his homosexuality and were quite accepting of it. He assured Ron, Fred, George, Percy, Bill and Charlie that he wasn't attracted to them – they all gave relieved sighs. The only one who was upset about it was Ginny. She had a crush on Harry. Harry told her with a smile that if he was to ever change his mind about his sexual preference, that she would be the first to know. She seemed satisfied with this comment, and gleefully skipped away.
The day that he was to go to Ron's came. Harry was so excited; he got up early, made the Dursley's breakfast and cleaned what he thought he should clean. He made sure they were happy and didn't make a fuss when Mrs. Weasley came to pick him up.
At 11:30, the doorbell rang and Harry jumped out of his chair and to the door. He tried not to seem so overjoyed as he practically ran to the door. He greeted Mrs. Weasley and Ron with a smile and told them he would be right down with his things. Mrs. Weasley hadn't tried to make conversation with the Dursley's, but busied herself talking to Ron about the Head Boy position he gained. Ron groaned and rolled his eyes at his mother and received a quick slap on the arm.
"Talking about Head Boy was she?" Harry laughed as he walked down the stairs bringing all his things behind him.
"Yeah... You ready to go? I'm starving." Ron pouted.
"Yeah, just let me say bye to the 'family'." Harry said. With that, Harry turned towards the kitchen, yelled "BYE!" and shuffled everyone out of the door. Vernon muttered something that sounded like "Good riddance." as Harry locked the door behind him.
The car ride to Ron's wasn't especially interesting. The conversation consisted of Head Boy, School Supplies, School Clothing, and so on. As they reached Ron's house, Harry spotted Hermoine in the garden planting flowers with Ginny. Once the car was parked, he ran from the car and toppled onto a very surprised Hermoine.
"Harry! It's so good to see you!" She laughed as they hugged tightly. Ginny only looked at Harry with red cheeks. Harry leaned in and kissed Ginny's cheek.
"It's wonderful to see you too Ginny." Harry smiled. Ginny proceeded to turn 15 shades of red and ran into the house.
Harry, Hermoine, and Ron all took a hold of various items belonging to Harry and began to walk towards the house to drop all of the things off in Ron's room. The trio spent the rest of the afternoon talking about their summers. Soon enough, Harry was lost in thought, as Ron and Hermoine started to talk about 'couple things' as they called it. All of sudden, Harry smiled and sighed looking down at the ground with pink cheeks.
Hermoine looked at Harry with a quizzical look in her eyes and said, "What was that about?"
Harry snapped his head up and looked at a very confused Ron and Hermoine. "Oh... nothing... I was just thinking." He managed to say before his face turned a very bright scarlet red.
"I know that look. You're thinking about a guy aren't you! Oh tell us who it is Harry!" Hermoine started.
"I was no-"
"You were too!" Ron cut him off. Harry looked between his two friends faces, his emerald eyes were huge, and he then looked down again.
"Okay... I was thinking about a guy." Harry blushed a deeper shade of red.
"Ah-ha! I told you! Who is it?!" Hermoine said excitedly.
"I... err... well... it's..."
"Out with it!" Ron laughed at Harry's sudden loss of words.
"It... It's Draco. He sent me a letter this summer, and, and I was just thinking about the letter..." Harry said with his head in his hands. "Really? What did the letter say? Anything interesting?" Hermoine ventured.
Harry slowly took his head out of his hands and looked at his friends. They weren't taken aback by the thought that he was thinking about Draco. He looked at them for a moment then started to speak in an almost whisper. "He just... err... we spent a couple nights by the lake talking and-" Hermoine jabbed Ron in the stomach before he could say anything. Harry looked up at Ron and smiled. "No Ron, nothing happened. We were just talking, and Draco wrote me to make sure I didn't 'feel anything' for him... that's all."
"And what did you say to him?" Ron leaned in closer.
"Oh... I told him I didn't recall feeling anything for him." Harry blushed.
Hermoine took in a breath as she began to speak, completely ignoring the looks she received from Ron before she was finished. "We all know that is a lie! Of course you feel something for Draco! He's absolutely gorgeous! I mean he does have a mean streak that's got to be worked on. But it's nothing you can't handle. You are the infamous Harry Potter after all!"
Harry blushed even deeper than before. Was it possible to be redder than he was at that very moment? Probably...
"I..." there was no use defending himself "Okay, okay! I do like Draco. I have for a year or so now. I just – I don't know if he swings that way. Oh god! I can't believe I'm saying this aloud..." Harry buried his head in his hands and felt his cheeks burning.
"Well... I'll tell you one thing. But you didn't hear it from me. Draco – well he swings that way and then some Harry." Ron proudly announced as he stood up.
Both Harry and Hermoine bolted to their feet and yelled "WHAT?!"
"Yeahhh! I caught him one night with some guy from Hufflepuff. He made me swear not to tell anyone. So... my natural first instinct was to tell EVERYONE. But with the pleading look on his face – well... I couldn't do it. I just nodded and walked away like it wasn't a big deal."
Harry fell back into his chair absolutely shocked. "Wow..." was all that he could manage to say. Hermoine didn't even have words. The color had been drained from her face as she sat down.
Hermoine took a deep breath, as if to clear her mind and then said, "So Draco – the lady killer is what, gay? Bisexual?"
"I'd have to say gay. I've never really seen him with any girls. And if any girl had been with him they would have told everyone. Girls are like that." He immediately regretted that when Hermoine shot him a glare. Hermoine was about to launch into a tirade, "All girls are NOT like that Ron! I'm not like that. I certainly wouldn't tell anyo-" Ron kissed her and that kiss immediately stopped her from talking. Whenever Ron kissed her it seemed to have a silencing effect on Hermoine. So she sat in her chair with her eyes wide and her lips still puckered.
"I know you're not like that 'Moine. I was just saying – SOME girls are like that. Don't assume that that was what I meant. You do that too often." Smiled Ron.
"I, err... I'm sorry..." Hermoine smiled sheepishly and immediately looked down at her skirt and began to fuss with the hemline.
"DINNER!!!!" Mrs. Weasley yelled as she stood outside of the back door.
"Do me a favor guys... err... don't tell anyone about this conversation? Please?" Harry pleaded.
Ron and Hermoine smiled, nodded, and started to walk towards the house holding hands. Harry soon joined them.
