Bands at Hogwarts

I kissed the scars on his skin

A Gryffindor and a Slytherin friends? Never heard of before me and Kellin came to Hogwarts. He was a Slytherin, I was a Gryffindor, we were best friends but I had a secret.

I had the hugest crush on him, and he will never know it. Not if I had anything to do with it, but my Gryffindor best friend Jaime says otherwise.

"You need to tell him Vic! You've had the biggest crush on him since last year!" Jaime yelled at me while I shook my head.

"He will hate me forever, plus I'm not going to date just yet. Hime-time you forget that we are only 12 years old." I tell my ignorant best friend.

"In three months and a half months you will be 13." He corrected me, he was right though. My 13th birthday is  February 10th and it's December 2nd today.

"Viccy I have a problem." I heard my younger brother Mike say as he came down the stairs.

"What is it Mikey?" I asked him, my eyebrows furring together in concern. I was very protective over my brother, I loved and cared about him so much.

"I want to convince one of my friends to wear whatever they want but they're being stubborn and saying that they're going to get made fun of. Tell me what to do please. I care about them a lot and I want them to be them self but they're afraid." Mike said quietly, sitting down next to me and Jaime on the couch.

"Well what does your friend want to wear that makes them so sure that they're going to get made fun of?" I asked him.

"Girl clothes." He said slowly, cautious almost. Like he was afraid of what my reaction might be.

"Well does your friend really love wearing these clothes?" I responded, I don't really mind cross dressing or transgenders. But all I could see is Kellin in a dress or girl clothes. Ah he would look gorgeous, not that he isn't now. He just would look totally stunning in a lacy dress.

"Vic!" I snapped out of my thoughts by my brother yelling my name.

"Huh? Oh sorry got lost in my mind." I apologized to Mike, I saw Jaime smirk in the corner of my eye.

"Thinking about Quinn in girl clothes huh?" Jaime teased, I blushed and shoved him.

"Shove off Jaime!" I exclaimed to the laughing Mexican next to me. I looked back to see Mike holding back a laugh.

"What were you saying Mike?" I asked, trying to change the subject off of my crush on Kellin.

"My friend really really loves wearing these clothes. They feel like them self when they are. I just want them to be happy but I'm also afraid of what everyone will say. I mean a little bit of teasing isn't going to hurt them but haven't you heard of that Ally Ashby kid?" Mike rushed out, I thought back to an Ally Ashby.

"She's that Gryffindor that got beat up in first year right?" I recalled a faint memory of this Ashby kid. Mike nodded

"Oh yeah, got beat up really hard on the first week of school for cross dressing. Then that Carlile boy helped him and protected her until he had to go and take care of his mom. The poor girl got beat up so much while Carlile was gone." Mike further explained, I had an ah moment.

"Oh yeah I remember Austin being so pissed when he got back." I said, Mike nodded again.

"My friend is afraid that they are going to end up like Ally." He said, I frowned. I thought Dumbledore made it crystal clear that anyone who made fun of anyone for being gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, genderfluid, or for cross dressing will be suspended or expelled.

"I thought Dumbledore made a rule about that?" I questioned.

"He did, but my friend says, and I quote, 'that won't stop anyone from beating my pretty ass.' they are so sassy I swear." Mike said, muttering the last part under his breath. I laughed and thought of Kellin, he is sassy too.

"Well tell your friend that I will be there to help them, I will be their Austin." I said smiling, very glad I could help someone be who they are. Maybe I should take my advice and tell Kellin I like him.....Nope not gonna happen.

"Really so you have no problem with cross dressing?" Mike asked happily, I shook my head no.

"Nah, as long as they are happy then I don't have a problem with it." I responded, Mike smiled brightly and left to go show me his friend.

"Who do you think his friend is? They must be in another house since he left the Gryffindor common room." Jaime asked, scooting to the seat right in front of me.

"I don't know, but we will find out soon. I am thinking about telling Kellin. I mean all this talking about being yourself and not caring what other people think is inspiring me. My only fear is that Kellin will hate me for being gay." I gushed to Jaime to was smiling brightly.

"Nonsense, that boy is the gayest guy I have ever laid my eyes on." He told me, I thought back to it. Kell did seem really feminine, plus the sassiness equals gay.

"Alright I'm gonna tell him." I decided, Jaime's smile grew wider.

"Tell who what?" Jaime said slowly, I think he was getting me pumped up to tell Kellin. Yeah that's what that is.

"I'm gonna tell Kellin I've had the hugest crush on him since first year." I said a bit louder, I heard a heavenly giggle behind me.

"Awe that's cute Viccy, I just wish I would have found out by you telling me." I froze in my spot, it was Kellin's angelic giggle and voice. I gained enough confidence to turn around and smirk at Kellin. Only to have my jaw drop in surprise.

"M-me t-to." I mentally cursed myself for stuttering, I stutter when I'm nervous.

"What's got you all nervous Viccy?" Kellin smirked, I licked my lips at the sight of Kellin. He had on a peach pink, white and grey colored sweater that said 'Different' on it. Black shorts with black and skin tone tights that had little kittens on them. A pair of peach pink and grey TOMS. And he topped the adorable out fit off with a pink and white flower crown.

"You and how adorable you look." I said, gaining confidence I didn't even know I had. Kellin blushed as I walked over there and did something I didn't think I would ever have the courage to do. I cupped his baby doll face with my hands and leaned in to kiss him. (I know Kellin is 5' 7' and Vic is 5' 6' but pretend that it's switched so Kellin is shorter than Vic.)

"Oh damn I didn't know that was going to happen." I heard Mike say in the background, I pulled away breathless. Kell's face was tinted red and his eyes shined brighter than I have ever seen.

"Will you be my boyfriend Kellin Quinn?" I asked him, he smiled so brightly and nodded. I gave a small smile and kissed him again. Kissing Kellin felt righter than anything else in the entire world. I felt special, I felt good at something, I felt loved and most of all I felt hope.
