Chapter tree: a huge breakup
Harry found himself running in the directions of the Gryffindor common room. He stormed inside of their rooms and dumped himself at his bed and buried his face in his cushions while the tears were streaming down his face.
He went on like this until after fife someone nocked on the door. "Harry, can we please come in?" Hermione asked worried.
"Yeah Hermione you can come in, but I'm not sure if I wane see Ron yet."
"Harry please let me in. I promise you, I'm not mad, I will try to accept it."
"Come in then."
Hermione stormed in and ran to Harry's bed. She gave him a tight hug. Ron walked slowly yet determined towards Harry and Hermione.
"Harry I'm so sorry that I cursed you, but I couldn't let you tell everyone who you liked"
"Hermione I'm not mad at you, I you so thankful you stopped him I wouldn't know what I would have done I you didn't stop me"
"Harry why didn't you told us. We could have supported you." Hermione asked.
"I know that of corse. But it was just, I didn't want to admit it to myself either. And I just know I can't question it anymore now. And soon the hole school will also know it."
"But what about Ginny?" Ron asked hesitatingly.
With those few words Harry's brain was activated. What about Ginny did she know it yet? How would she react? He had to tell her himself. She couldn't hear it from somebody else.
"Ron, you have to find Ginny and bring her here immediately" Harry almost cried these words.
Ron stood up and left. Harry and Hermione stayed behind. It was clear she was worried about him.
"You now I'm here for you, don't you, Harry? I will always support you. If you need someone to talk to, I will always listen."
"Of corse I now this. You are my best friend and I will need you more than ever."
"Oh, Harry" Hermione said, while she embraced Harry even closer.
Their moment was interrupted when they heard someone nock on the door. Ginny entered hesitatingly, you could clearly see the fear in his eyes.
"I will leave you two alone, if you need me I will wait for you in the common room." And with these words Hermione left the room.
"G-ginny pleas come in", Harry almost whispered.
"Harry what's going on? Ron dragged me here, he was completely in shock and asked me if I had heard anything. What's going on? He didn't tell me. Harry?"
"S-so you haven't heard anything yet."
"No I haven't. Pleas what's going on." Ginny's eyes were filled with tears.
"I-I have to tell you something…"
"Tell me Harry!"
"Well Snape used veritaserum and asked when we last had sex. So, I said we haven't yet and he asked why and I answered that that is because I… I'm… I'm gay." Harry blurred out.
"Harry I don't understand, what are you telling me?"
"I'm so sorry Ginny. I'm breaking up with you, I can't pretend it anymore. I had to tell you before you heard it from someone else. Soon the hole school will know."
"Have you ever loved me?"
"I still love you, but I know realize that I don't love you in the way you want me to. I will never stop caring about you."
"So, this is it after two years together this is how it ends. I'm sorry Harry I just can't" Ginny stormed out of the room with tears streaming down her face.
"G-ginny" Harry whispered.
Harry buried his head in his pillows and started to cry. After a couple of minutes, he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Harry, I know, I said I would wait for you but I saw Ginny storming out of the room and you didn't come down so I thought I would come and check on you. If you want it I can leave again."
"No please Hermione stay. I don't want to be alone right now. I lost her. She will never forgive me."
"She just need some time to get used to the idea. You know it isn't easy for her either."
"I just can't lose her, Hermione. I love her, like a sister, like a friend, but I love her."
"I'm so sorry, Harry. But we must go. We have Defense against The Dark Arts ten minutes."
"I don't want to go."
"You'll have to. I won't let you stay here all day and cry. Beside professor Lupin won't accept any excuses to be late. If you hurry up you have some time to clean yourself."
Harry sighted and stood up. He hated if Hermione was right.
Together they walked down to their classroom. Since there were not many students who returned after the battle in their eight year, they putted all the students from all the houses together in every class. They sat down on their usual spots and Ron joined them.
Harry wasn't ready to talk to Ron yet. He was to ashamed to talk to anyone really. Even though he knew there was nothing to be ashamed of he couldn't help himself.
"Harry, can I speak with you for a second? The rest of you, open your book and start reading the chapter about the imperius spell."
Harry hadn't heard Lupin enter the room. He stood up and followed him to the little chamber behind the classroom.
"Harry, are the rumors true?"
"I'm afraid so professor."
"What do you mean with that. I know I mustn't be easy for you. But don't you ever again say you're ashamed because you're gay! Love is love! And sure, there will be people who won't accept you, but most of them will. I know how it feels, coming out. I know it is terrifying and certainly if it isn't your own choice. If you ever need advice, Harry, my door is always open."
"Thank you, professor." Harry didn't know what he had to say, but to thank his professor.
He returned to his classroom and sat down in his seat.
"Okay, forget the imperius curse. Today we're going to duel. I'm going to make pairs. Let's see. Potter and Malfoy…"
There it was again Harry was paired with Malfoy once again. Why did all the teachers need to set them up together. He stood up and pushed his desk to the side of the room like everyone else and went to stand in front of Malfoy.
"This is going to be fun, don't you think Potter. I just hope you feel comfortable fighting against a boy. I don't want to bring you in temptation. Just so you know Potter I'm not gay. And how is it going with your girlfriend."
The last words were too much for Harry, he started to scream. "Sud off Malfoy!" And started to fire every curse he knew, that could hurt Draco.
Draco blocked every curse.
"What's wrong, Potter? Are you distracted by my beauty?"
"Yes, Malfoy, maybe I am."
Draco didn't know what he expected by Harry to say but it clearly wasn't this. Harry profit by his distraction, he unarmed Draco and threw the Full Body-Bind Curse (Petrificus Totalus). Then he threw his own wand away and started to punch Draco whit his bare hands.
"Harry, that's enough. Twenty points from Gryffindor for beating another student. And twenty points from Slytherin for inappropriate language, mister Malfoy."
Harry backed away from Malfoy and for the second time that day het ran out of a classroom.
