Hermione couldn't believe what she had just seen with her own two eyes but there it was plain as day front in front of her was Harry kissing none other than Draco Malfoy. Hermione was to say the least in shock but also a lot of things finally were falling in to place as well. She now realized why Harry wouldn't be intimate with Ginny and now why Ginny was with Dean.
Hermione stood there for a while contemplating whether or not to make her presence known but decided against it because she would talk to Harry about it later. Hermione watched as Harry and Draco walked in to a potions shop together hand in hand. Hermione left feeling rather impatient and wondered how she was going to approach this subject with Harry without telling him about Ginny because she was sure that Harry didn't know about Ginny's extracurricular activities.
Hermione waited a few hours for Harry to come home she had waited outside his and Ginny's flat for the last couple of hours. Harry was very surprised to see Hermione he had expected to come home to an empty house like usual. He just figured Ginny was working like usual or so he thought any way. "Hermione wow what a surprise I'm so glad to see you." Hermione hugged Harry tightly because she was afraid this was going to be the last time she got to see him ever again after she told him she saw him and Draco kissing in Digon Ally. Harry could tell that Hermione needed to tell him something so he opened the door to his and Ginny's flat and motioned for Hermione to follow.
Harry and Hermione walked in to his flat and they both sat down waiting for the other one to speak. Hermione didn't know where to start or even how to start a conversation like this. She never dreamed of ever having this conversation but then again it really didn't surprise her either. Harry had always been different not very masculine but not feminine either he was rather in between. Hermione decided to just come out with it because really she couldn't think of any other way to say it and she wanted Harry to know that she was ok with it and that she loved him very much no matter if he was gay or not.
"Harry I have something I want to tell you but I don't want you to get mad at me." Harry looked at her a little perplexed and wondered what had gotten in to her to even voice such a statement. "Hermione you know that I could never get mad at you so just tell me all ready I'm sure it will be ok." Hermione gave him a worried look but proceeded any way. "Look Harry I was in Digon Ally today because well I was following you because you were acting strange and I wanted to know why and instead of just asking I snooped instead and well I saw you and Draco Malfoy kissing in the ally way."
Harry was well stunned but also mad at the fact that she had followed him instead of just asking him what was wrong but the more he thought about it he wouldn't have told her the truth anyway so really he couldn't be mad at her at all even though he really wanted to be. Hermione looked rather worried and waited for Harry's response. She could see the anger flash through his eyes along with some other emotions that she couldn't identify.
"Hermione I can't believe you followed me today however I can see why you did because I wouldn't have told you the truth if you asked me. I'm also glad that you found out because keeping it a secret is very hard for me but I just wanted something that was mine that I didn't have to share with the world. I'm not mad at you at all and in fact I want you to be the first to know that I'm in love with Draco and I hope that you can be ok with it, but please remember for now it has to stay between us because I'm not ready for the rest of the world to know and either is Draco." Hermione was stunned but Harry's such honest confession but she was grateful that he understood why she did it the way she did. "Harry I promise that I will keep your secret for you until you're ready for the world to know."
