The next morning Ron woke Harry up.
"Harry, mate, come with me" he said.
"What the firebolt do you want Ron? Do you hate me now too?" Harry asked.
"I don't hate you, I'm just a little confused is all. Are you actually going out with Malfoy?" Ron asked as they walked down to near the fireplace.
"I think Draco wants to but I don't know if I want to seeing how you guys reacted last night" Harry said.
"So you are gay" Hermione said catching up to them as they walked out of the portrait.
"I'm bi at the moment. But where the bloody hell are we going? It's Saturday!"
"To see Hagrid" Ron said.
"We haven't been down to see him in ages!" Hermione chirped in.
"So, we thought we would take you to see him!" Ginny smiled.
"Where the hell did you come from?" Harry asked. Ginny had startled him.
"I came from my dorm" she replied.
"Smart ass" Ron mumbled. Then Harry realized something, these people right around him were his true friends, the ones who would be there for him in times of pain and suffering, whether he was gay or not.
"Blueberry" Ginny mumbled, "Oh, Harry. I don't care if you're gay anymore, I am going out with Dean now" Ginny said. Harry was surprised that she had moved on so quickly. Maybe she was just lying to make him jealous…..
"How come you didn't tell me?" Ron asked.
"I'm not five Ron" she said and rolled her eyes.
"Neither am I" he said.
"You wouldn't pass for a thirty year old looking like that" Ginny smiled. She knew what was coming and ran. Ron chased after her. Harry and Hermione couldn't contain themselves and fell over laughing.
"God, don't you just love moments like these?" Harry sighed.
"Shit, did you just say that? You really are gay…." Hermione said. Harry threw her a death stare.
"Sorry, sorry" she laughed, "OWLs in two days" she said.
"I know" Harry sighed gloomily. They reached Hagrid's hut. There was a note on the door. You shouldn't come lookin' for things that ain't there….. Hagrid
"What does this mean?" Ron asked.
"Think about it Ronald" Hermione said.
"Oh, he wants us to go away doesn't he".
"Good job Ron, good job" Hermione sighed.
"Why do you think this is?" Harry said.
"To stop people like you medaling around I suppose" Emma remarked snidely. She smiled at Hermione who smiled back.
"Hey Emma" she said chirpily.
"Hi Hermione" Emma chirped back, "Ready to study this afternoon? All of you are welcome to come. But you Ron."
"Why not me?"
"Because you won't like the news I have to tell Hermione. In which case you two" she pointed at Harry and Ginny, "won't want to come".
"What ever" Ginny said calmly. Ron had walked off sulking.
Later that afternoon Hermione met up with Emma in the library.
"What's up?" Hermione asked.
"Well, I still have this massive crush on Draco but now Blaise Zambini is in the picture" Emma sighed.
"Oooo, really? How?" Hermione was intrigued.
"Well, last night we, kind of kissed. But it was like, amazing! There was soooooo many fireworks going off between us that it totally blew up my firewall around my feelings for Draco, so now I have my own little love triangle!" she said.
"Well… I think you should forget about Draco, he's gay anyway, and go for Blaise Zambini. He is quite hot. Much better looking than Malfoy if you ask me" Hemione said.
"Thankyou. Now, lets study!" Emma said. Hermione was happy that Umbridge had made her sit next to Emma last year, she finally found someone who likes to study as much as she does. But she also found strict competition in Emma. They often raise their hand at the same time just to tick Professor Snape off. It works. But he doesn't give detentions as they are the only people who answer. Let's just say they are best friends.
