You're a Bottom, Harry

Blackout

[I haven't updated in a long time, but this story has 1.58k reads and just looking at that number makes me really emotional. Since I'm on summer vacation, I'll try to update more. The updates may be more constant, but they'll still be short. And remember, I'm always open to suggestions! I love you all.]

Harry's head that throbbing. He had a horrid taste in his mouth, and his throat was on fire. He must have blacked out last night and done something stupid. Really stupid.

Harry yawned. "Where am I?" he asked, propping himself up on his elbow. "Is this the common room? What day is it?"

"Do you really not remember?" Hermione retorted. "You're lying in the Gryffindor common room, Harry."

Suddenly it all came back to Harry. His little 'thing' Parvati, the conversations he had, everything. He cursed softly.

"Hermione, you don't think I did that in front of the whole common room, do you? That's a little embarrassing, considering-"

"Oh, I almost forgot. While you were entertaining every Gryffindor at this school, a special little guest decided to pop up in the fire place."

Harry's face fell. Sirius had been watching.

That night, Harry paced the common room until Sirius popped up in the fireplace. The flames didn't manage to hide his disappointment.

"Harry, what was that?" Sirius whispered. Harry felt as if Sirius was staring straight into his soul (if there was anything straight about Sirius, that is). "Why do it in public? Why not find a private place? You know, there's a word for people like you!"

Harry held his breath. After a long moment, he asked, "What is it?"

"Bisexual."

Harry exhaled slowly.

Sirius continued. "And you don't have to hide your feelings from me! I completely understand. This may be a one time thing, this may mean you're bisexual, and that's all fine! Just remember there's no need to hide your feelings from me, OK?"

"OK," Harry said. "But I don't think it'll happen again, I don't like girls like that. Just in the heat of the moment, I didn't know whether to kiss her or strangle her! Sirius, she knows about you. I think she knows you've been coming here."

Sirius raised an eyebrow, as if to say 'So what?', but remained silent. And then he was gone.

Harry sat by the fire and watched the flames dance until he fell asleep.
