As Harry entered the common room Hermione and Ron immediately ran up to him with worried expressions on their faces.
"Where were you, mate?" Ron asked, forgetting to use his inside voice. Harry walked around his friends and sat down in an armchair by the fire.
"I was just wondering around," Harry said quietly and it wasn't a complete lie because he had walked around a bit after the encounter with Draco, "I needed to clear my head a bit."
Hermione sat in an armchair next to his, "That's fine Harry, we were just worried because you have a knack for getting into trouble. Please tell us next time, okay?"
"Yes, I'm sorry." Harry replied distractedly, looking down at his feet and smiling slightly as he thought of Draco and the kiss they'd shared.
"Why are you smiling?" Ron asked as he sat on the arm of Hermione's chair. "We're not exactly giving you presents or anything."
Harry snorted slightly before trying to put on a neutral look, "I'm going to bed."
"No you aren't!" Hermione said, "not until you tell us why you're so happy."
Harry freaked out a bit. He hadn't told anyone he's gay. He barely even admitted it to himself when he realized he liked Draco Malfoy. He certainly couldn't tell them about that and definitely not about the kiss. Not yet anyways.
Hermione notice that he was panicking and was about to say that he could tell them in the morning when Harry whispered shyly, "I found out that my crush might like me back." He was careful to keep his answer gender neutral.
"How did you find out?" Ron asked eagerly and Hermione nodded frantically, wanting to know that too.
"Um..." I can't say he kissed me, "we kissed."
"Oh! Harry that's amazing!" Hermione exclaimed, "why did you say 'might like you back'?"
"Well...um...he ran away afterwar-"
"HE?!" Ron shouted and the whole common room turned to look at them for a few seconds before resuming their own conversations.
Hermione looked shocked, and when she looked at Harry she knew that he'd let that slip by accident. He was blushing furiously and had his hands covering his mouth, eyes wide and fearful.
"Um... Yeah... I'm going to bed." Harry whispered so softly that the other two barely heard him. Harry was got up to go to his dorm, but Ron grabbed his arm.
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"I wasn't ready to" Harry looked at the floor.
"Are you gay or bisexual?" Hermione stood up too. (Or pansexual etc.)
"Um... I think I'm gay... Yeah, gay"
"Alright." Ron let go of his arm and Harry scampered up the stairs and into bed.
Hermione and Ron talked about this new found information on their best friend. Hermione was still a bit surprised, but totally supportive. Ron was still very shocked and kept thinking of all the times he'd changed in front of Harry. It isn't that he wasn't supportive, he just found it a bit weird, out of the ordinary. Hermione was sure he'd get used to it though.
