Harry POV;
As instructed by lupins letter and I waited by the edge of the forest. If anyone saw me I'd be in massive trouble, no ones allowed in there.
"Harry?" A familiar voice said, sending waves of warmth and happiness through my body.
"Moony!" I said running up and hugging him.
"Long time no see! What's up?" He asked, releasing me from his embrace. We started to walk.
"How did you know you were Gay?" I croaked. He looked over at me with warm, forgiving eyes.
"Oh Harry, don't say anything if you don't want to, but has this got anything to do with something personal?" He asked. I nodded.
"Well there was a boy, can't remember his name to save a life but I wasn't interested in his name. He had the perfect body, the perfect face, the perfect hair, the perfect personality. Well that last ones debatable, he was a Slytherin ya know. But to me he was perfect. And just like any teenage boy I started feeling emotions li..."
"STOP OR I WILL SACRIFICE MYSELF TO A TROLL!" I screamed not wanting to hear what he was going to say.
"So you knew because of one boy?" I asked. One boy can change that. "
Well I guess he just sparked something inside of me. Anyway enough about me. Why did you ask me that?" He gently asked.
"I- i think I'm gay moony." I exclaimed before bursting into tears. He carried me over to some rocks and held me against him.
"It's okay Harry, if you are, your are. It doesn't change who you are as a person. Just who you prefer." He said soothingly. I nodded.
"Like you, it's the one boy. I really shouldn't like him but we've became close and I couldn't stop myself." I sobbed.
"Does this boy have a name?" He tenderly asked. I nodded. Tell him Harry, he won't make fun of you for it.
"Draco. Draco Malfoy." I muttered. "I love Draco Malfoy." I burst into tears again. A pained look spread across Remus' face.
"Oh my that's quite the problem." He whispered. I nodded as he rubbed my back.
"You must like him for a good reason. Unless you just like his pure evilness and jeering." He commented.
"He's not as bad as people think. He still teases me when we're alone but he doesn't mean it. He's said himself he's joking. But he cares about me and helps me. I guess I fell for his personality. Before his body. I can't lie though and say he's ugly, to me he's not." I said, recovering from my small breakdown.
"Who knows?." He plainly questioned.
"Hermione and Ron know that I'm gay and that I like someone. Just not who it is. They wouldn't agree." I responded.
"Surely they will overlook any hate towards him if you Love him. Especially friends as close as you are." He encouraged.
"I guess. It's not gonna happen anyway." I sighed.
"Well if it doesn't happen with Malfoy, they'll be someone out there for you. Harry you're the golden boy, famous before you could even speak. They'll be people that want you." He exclaimed.
"I don't want someone because I'm famous! I want someone because I'm me. Someone who would love me if I wasn't famous." I shouted and walked off.

"I'm sorry Harry. You'll find someone that loves you for who you are, famous or not." Remus spoke.
"Did you?" I croaked.
"Did I what?" He replied.
"Find love again?" He face softened and he blushed.
"I did. I have." He said smiling, obviously at the thought of the man.
"Tell me about him." I said, resting my head on his arm. He wrapped his arms round me.
"He's a bit like Draco I guess. Cold, lonely and not someone you'd guess would be in a relationship, especially with me. But with me, he's different. He's kind, caring, loving and actually has a sense of humour. I've made him smile!" He said laughing at his thoughts. The description sounded similar.
"I haven't seen him in a long time though. Hopefully I can catch him today before he has to...go back to work." I looked up at him. His face appeared upset. The thought of him not seeing this man was hurting him.
"Does he know you're in town?" I asked. He nodded.
"I've told him in every letter for the past month. He sent me his work schedule so I can visit him, I just am kinda scared I guess." He replied.
"After this go and see him. Even if he's working, say you have to pass on an important message or something." I said. A smile radiated off his face.
"I'll walk you back to Hogwarts as I need to talk to someone, but then I'll go see him. I promise." He said smiling.

The walk back to Hogwarts was slow, but I didn't mind. I rarely got to see Remus anymore due to his new job and his constant travels.
"When I was in Germany, I met this fabulous wizard, he could cook food in his hat. You had to blow on it a bit to get off the dandruff but it tasted incredible." He reminisced. We got to the Hogwarts doors and my heart sunk.
"Hey don't look so sad. I promise to write to you more often and visit you as often as possible. Please keep me updated with your problem." He spoke with trust and love seeping through his words. I hugged him hard, he was my closest thing to family.
"I love you moony." I whispered, feeling tears prickle my eyes.
"I love you too Harry." He said ruffling my hair. We walked out separate ways. Finally, I felt happy.

Remus Lupin POV:
I dashed to Snapes classroom, praying he was alone. I was still slightly in shock after my chat with Harry, so shocked that I didn't realise the time. He was gay and he liked a Slytherin! It was like my childhood was coming true again. I rushed into the classroom.
"I'm so sorry I'm late Serverus. I was having a talk with Harry and...oh." I apologised walking in to see Snape with a small blonde boy. Draco. I blushed at the thoughts of what Harry had said.
"Oh I didn't know you had company already." I added smirking at Snape. I loved this side of snape. Professional and hot!
"Oh it's fine, Mr Malfoy here was just popping in for a chat but is now leaving." He said, grabbing the boys shoulders and pushing him out the classroom. I noticed the corners of Snapes mouth curl up. I felt powerful knowing it was me that could cause that rare sight.
"Your late." He said sternly. I smiled, walking over to him and placed my hands on his chest. "I had duties, just like you appeared to have." I said, pecking him on the lips as an apology. "Well my Godson was having troubles, it's my duty to help him." He replied smirking at me. God that smirk will be the death of me. "Well Harry had a little problem and wanted some advice on it. I would share it with you but obviously it's personal." I said smiling at the man. He nodded.
"Now I haven't waited a month just for us to talk about two children's problems." He growled before deeply kissing me.

A/n: I hope you liked the little other ship I threw into the mix. Personally I do not ship it, but my friend mentioned it to me when I needed someone at Hogwarts to date Lupin.
