"You planning to get up at anytime Potter?" Harry heard Sirius' voice as though from faraway a millisecond before his entire body got drenched with icy water.
"What the bloody hell—" Harry startled and drenched sat upright in a lightning speed motion, glaring at the grinning tall figure standing at the side of his bed.
"Sorry mate," Sirius said looking anything but, "You have slept through 2 classes, anymore and McGonagall will have your head and mine."
"didn't have to freeze up my ass," Harry snapped grumpily, but Sirius' grin remained.
"I know. It was fun."
"Anyone else sleeping in?" Harry asked through gritting teeth but Sirius didn't seem to notice.
"We all did, James, Peter, and Remus are taking showers…Howdy Jamsie! Harry decided to take his bath in bed…spoiled little prat, isn't he," Sirius as always tackled James not caring that the boy was clad in nothing but a towel.
"Forgot your shampoo?" James threw his shampoo bottle at Harry, who threw it right back. For the first time that day Harry grinned seeing as the white liquid in the bottle exploded out all over Sirius' face.
"Can't get out bathing for one fucking day," Sirius said grimly, but his grin never vanished, "I'll see you two in DADA."
"I'll get you something from the kitchen," James called after him, and Harry grinning to himself got out of bed, "Harry wait, I…uh need to talk to you…"
Harry turned around to find James blushing as he stared intently at his bare feet. Harry wasn't sure what to make of James' expression, or whatever he could see of it anyway, so he made his way back to his bed and sat down. He instantly regretted doing so, for the fact that his covers were still wet and extremely cold. James not being very smart missed Harry's expression and sat down beside him and let out a yelp, but did not get up.
"I heard about…well…I heard about what happened on New Years Eve…" James began, purposely avoiding catching Harry's eye.
"Yeah?" Harry said, sure that by now his face was a much deeper shade of red than James.
"I, um…see since we're related and all I just wanted to tell you that you can always talk to me."
"Ok."
"And well…was it your first time?"
"Er…I…yeah," Harry's face was now burning as though he had a terrible case of flue and his stomach rumbled in pain.
"I think experimenting is great."
"What?"
"Well, you know with a different…um gender."
"Gender?!"
"Yeah, I mean just cause you prefer one over the other doesn't mean you can't get together and have fun with another one."
"What the bloody hells are you getting at James?" Harry stared at James in disbelief, not sure what he was really talking about. James blushed more.
"I mean…well…I think what you did is okay…"
"Why wouldn't it be?" Harry asked, hoping to hell that he wasn't about to get a lecture on the bird and the bees from his young father.
"It wouldn't!" James said quickly, "some might think…well I don't, I mean just cause you're gay I don't think you should confide yourself only to men."
Harry stared at James in absolute disbelief for a few seconds; his mouth opening and closing soundlessly like a fish. But then the words James had just said started to piece together and Harry suddenly understood what he was trying to say.
"You think I'm gay…" Harry said quietly more to himself than James.
"I…I'm sorry if it was supposed to be a secret, I found out by accident—"
"Secret?!!" Harry asked something turning on in his head, he remembered Lily talking about his secret months ago and he had though…"You all think I'm gay?"
"Ron too, right?" James said not catching Harry's surprise.
"No!" James started at him, now it was his turn to be shocked.
"But Herm—I mean I heard he was gay with you…I mean that you two went out!"
"No!!! Ron and I are NOT gay!" Harry said staring at James, not sure which of them was more shocked.
"You really aren't? Cause I mean if you are I think it's totally cool and so does everyone else—"
"Everyone else???! Who else thinks that me and Ron are…" Harry stopped suddenly remembering something, "it was Hermione wasn't it?"
"What do you mean?" James' gaze traveled down to his feet once again.
"She told you guys this, it was her. Those boys at the party…her expression…but why would Hermione do this?" Harry's eyes became unfocused and James shrugged.
"Maybe she's got the hots for you, wouldn't want any girl having a go at you here. You never know with girls," James said and at this Harry stared at him with wide emerald eyes.
"Lily…" Harry whispered making James blink at him.
"What about her?"
"Uh…nothing…it's just, she must have…" Harry wasn't sure how to get out of this one without revealing his true identity so he go up, "I'm gonna go have a long talk with Hermione. I'll explain it all later mate." And with that he dashed out of the dorm room and made it all the way to the common room until he realized he couldn't run off to his 3rd class in wet pajamas.
A/N: Heh he, Harry finally found out the truth. Boy is Hermy gonna get it! Lol! The Half Blood Prince is coming out in a couple more months….life is good!!! Hope y'all liked this chappi.
