It was still early in the afternoon. They had spent the morning showing Fred and George around the park, and then as they were leaving there and on their way to introduce them to Pepper... It happened. Fred and George were talking with Ash, with Harry and Fionn a little ways behind them. A Succubus with electric green hair passed them, and then suddenly stopped and turned back. She headed straight for Fred and George.

"Ohhh... a matched set!" She circled them, one hand reaching out to brush down Fred's arm as she licked her lips. "Do tell me that you aren't Courting anyone." Her voice was practically purring the words, and even from a few feet away, Harry could feel the seduction pouring off her. Fred and George's eyes looked a little glazed, but Ash just looked bored and a touch annoyed as she looked at the Succubus.

"They're mortals."

"Oh pooh! No fun then." The Succubus wrinkled her nose like the twins had suddenly turned into something disgusting right before her eyes. But then she turned her attention towards Harry. "What about-"

Fionn's eyes narrowed and he touched Harry's arm. "Courting."

The Succubus gave a sniff and flounced off without another word. The glazed look was slowly leaving Fred and George's eyes, and they blinked rapidly a moment. "What just happened?" Fred looked around a little dazedly still and George just nodded.

"That was a Succubus. They use touch and their voice to ensnare others..." Ash's voice got fainter as she pulled the twins after her, heading down the street again.

Harry blinked a little and shook his head before focusing back on Fionn. "Are all Succubi and Incubi like that?"

The Fae was still close to him, but now a bit more in front than beside Harry. "Mostly. The older ones are a bit more subtle." He reached out and smoothed Harry's shirt collar, and then glanced back at Harry.

For his part, Harry just smiled slightly. He was getting ready to say they should hurry and catch up to Ash before they got left behind, when Fionn leaned forward and gently kissed him. Harry froze. The kiss was soft and gentle, nothing like the few kisses he had received in the past. It was actually kind of...nice. But... he was also being kissed by another male. His brain freaked out a bit, he still didn't know if he even liked guys that way! Before he'd met Fionn, he'd never even given the matter any thought. But now he was being Courted, and kissed by a guy. He didn't know what to do, or think, and when his brain finally caught up and told him he should be doing something besides just standing there, Fionn had already pulled back.

The Fae looked a little sad, but quickly dropped his eyes. "We should hurry before Ash forgets us." Was all he said, and then he was turning and hurrying off after the others. As he reached them, George glanced over and threw an arm around Fionn's shoulders, and then they all turned a corner and were lost to sight. Harry reached up and touched his lips, then shook his head and hurried after them. He couldn't fix anything right now, and didn't even know if he should.

They spent the rest of the day showing Fred and George the sights, and by the time they got home, everyone was tired. Ash went to bed early, Fionn soon followed her example, and shortly after that George did as well. Harry was just deciding to go to bed himself when Fred spoke.

"You hurt him you know?"

"I... what?" His brain wasn't working as well as it should, to tired and too much had happened in the last few days.

"Fionn. I don't know what happened exactly, and really, George is better at this stuff than I am. But he spent today cheering Fionn up, so I guess it's my job to point out that you screwed up." Fred's blue eyes were serious as he looked at Harry. It was something Harry had been noticing about both twins more lately, that they actually did have a serious side. At least some of the time.

"Er...yeah. I know. But he kissed me Fred! I wasn't expecting that, and I still don't even know if I like guys. It's not like I'd ever hurt him purposely you know."

"He kissed you. Did you kiss him back? Because honestly, if you did and that was his reaction, you must be one bad kisser!" Fred laughed.

"No...I was a bit too surprised I guess. By the time I realized that he was kissing me, he'd stopped and then went to join you guys."

"So basically, Fionn kissed you and you did absolutely nothing? You just stood there? No wonder the poor guy was so hurt looking." Fred shook his head slowly. "You're Courting Harry. From what we've been told about that, it seems to be a pretty serious thing here. How could you not expect him to kiss you at some point?"

Harry blushed brightly and raked a hand through his hair. "I don't know! I didn't really think about it, okay? I mean, I was going to say no when he asked me for permission to Court me. But Ash made this big deal about it, and he looked so hurt, I figured that if I said yes, he'd realize that it wasn't going to work at some point..."

"So basically, instead of hurting him once, and early on. You decided it would be better to lead him on, and hurt him a few times until he 'realized that it wasn't going to work'? That doesn't sound like the Harry I thought I knew."

"It's not like that! How am I supposed to even figure out if I'm gay?" Harry looked over at Fred, eyes pained. "The last thing I ever wanted to do was add to the hurt he's already gotten. But I don't know if I can..." He trailed off and shook his head.

"Pretend a moment that Fionn isn't a guy. What was the kiss like? Was it better or worse than the ones you've gotten from girls?"

Harry licked his lips nervously and closed his eyes in thought a moment. "It was...nice. Warm." His eyes opened and he looked at Fred. "I don't have much to compare it to... but it wasn't bad or anything. I just... what if it was a fluke or something? I mean, what if I never see him that way? Won't it hurt him more to respond now and then refuse him at the end of the Courtship?"

"What if you do end up seeing him that way? Would that be so bad?" Fred slid closer on the couch they were sharing.

There was something in the way he looked at Harry that made the hair raise up on the back of his neck, like he was getting set up for a prank or something equally devious. "I...no. But if I go along with things, and then at the end it doesn't work out, wouldn't that be worse? Leading him on in that way?" Harry dropped his eyes, he didn't know if he liked guys, or Fionn, or what. And he couldn't believe he was having this conversation with Fred.

Fred reached out and lifted Harry's chin until Harry was looking him in the eyes again. And then, he leaned in and kissed Harry. Harry couldn't think, his mind just froze. Kissed by two guys in one day? What the hell was going on in his life? Fred's kiss was polar opposite of Fionn's. Where Fionn was soft and gentle, Fred was firm, and a bit demanding. He was in full control, and Harry was just along for the ride. And then, it was over. Fred was moving back, and Harry opened his eyes. He didn't even remember closing them in the first place.

"George is going to kill me if he finds out about that. But at least you now have more references for comparison's sake." Fred grinned crookedly. "Well?"

Harry gaped a moment, and then shut his mouth with a click as his teeth met. "Uh... Fred?" His voice almost squeaked on the name, and he blushed brightly again.

Fred chuckled and tousled Harry's hair. "You said you hadn't kissed enough people to know, and kept going on about wanting to know if you were gay or not. If you liked both of today's kisses, you certainly aren't straight. Think about it, but I'm going to bed." He stood and stretched, yawning widely and then walked from the room like nothing had happened at all.

Harry just stared after him in shocked silence for a moment, and then touched his lips, mind whirling. He'd liked both kisses. More than he wanted to admit, but Fred wasn't interested in him. Had never given him any reason to think he saw him as anything more than a friend or surrogate little brother. So kissing someone who wasn't interested in him, was just as good as kissing someone who was. And both were better than the kisses he'd shared with girls in the past. But...did that really mean he was gay? He shook his head, thoughts still whirling in his head.
