Chapter 3: The Leaky Cauldron
Back in the Leaky Cauldron in room 205 Lupin called Bailey into the room using the Floo network. "What's going on?" Bailey asked it was obvioiusly the wrong question since everyone started talking at once. "Ok pause, one at a time. Would one of you tell me what's going on?"
"Harry told James and Abigail Sirius' name, on accident Bailey. Then James revealed that lupin never amde Sirius sign the divorce papers because you and Sirius still love each other, and then something about your kids thinking Harry is extremely funny for some unknown reason." Hermione said calmly. Bailey took a deep breath before continuing.
"Ok Harry I know it's an accident since you've been using his name for years so I understand. Lupin we will discuss the divorce issue later, and it won't be pretty. James, Abby why is Harry funny?" Bailey said wakling up to her kids. James whispered into her ear. "Oh well why does that make him funny?" Abby whispered into her ear next. "Oh, well ok that's a bit funny." Bailey said giggling. "Harry may I see you outside the door for a minute. It would be better if I told you before the whole room finds out." Harry nodded and followed her. "So anything relationship wise you want to confess?"
"No, not really why?" Harry asked going red.
"Are you positive, because if you don't tell me and if what I've been told isnt' true you are going to be one embarrased person." Bailey said smiling.
"Well um I don't have a girlfriend."
"Yes this I know, you haven't since Cho two years ago." Bailey smiled.
"What did they tell you then?" Harry asked quietly.
"Oh," Bailey giggled again. "That Draco has the hotts for you and that you're gay but haven't done a thing about you liking Draco." Bailey said laughing as Harry's face turned completely red.
"How did they find out?" Harry asked shocked.
"You'll have to ask them, and you need to tell Ron and Hermione, they will understand trust me." Bailey smiled again.
"You know something. I know you do! You and Sirius are perfect for each other both of you enjoy torturing me." Harry said walking back into the room.
"How did you two find out about that?" Bailey asked for Harry.
"We read it in his diary, that he left out on his bed yesterday when we went to visit." Abby said looking upset. "Are we in trouble?"
"That's up to Harry." Bailey said turning towards him.
"You two need to learn a lesson. You two are grounded until we leave for Hogwarts in two days." Harry said glaring at them.
"Now Har it's your turn. What is the big secret?" Hermione asked.
"The reason I haven't had a girlfriend since Cho Chang is because I'm--um--gay, and I fancy Malfoy, whose also gay." Harry said looking at the floor.
"Hey whatever makes you happy, mate. As long as you don't fancy me." Ron said laughing.
"Yeah I agree with Ron. I see how James and Abigail found that funny though. I was waiting for you to admit it myself." Hermione said hugging him.
"Hermione, Ron you are welcome to stay with us if you would like." Remus said.
"Thanks, we'll be by tonight." Hermione said. One after one everyone left the Leaky Cauldron.
