It Had Always Been Him

The Confession

Everyone was coming up to Harry and congratulating him the next morning, a rumor was going round that harry was gay. Harry was furious he wondered who told everyone.
As the eighth years gathered in the common room for there free period Harry was determined to find out who told everyone so he stood on a chair with no care in the world and shouted "the rumor going around about me being gay is true" there were a few shocked faces, Malfoy looked very shocked but for once he didnt make a snide comment, harry continued on "but all i want to know is who told someone" seamus raised his hand slowly and said "i only told neville because last night you were talking in your sleep and saying what if they find out im gay. I didnt really believe you so i asked neville if he knew anything about it."
"Harry i swear i didnt tell anybody, someone could of overheard us and spread it but i swear it wasnt me" Neville piped up.
Harrys gaze when straight to malfoy who was relaxing in the armchair by the fire.
Malfoy saw this and said "What?! It wasnt me, i swear im not like that now, ask Ginny" he regretted mentioning Ginny because now everyone was going to figure out their feelings towards eachother.
"I dont care anymore the truth is out" Harry said before jumping down of the chair. People started coming towards him and clapping him on the back.
Harry caught freds eye and they had another 'staring match' Harry saw  seamus clap Fred on the back and mutter something to him then seamus left like everyone else and the only people left in the common room were Harry and Fred. They slowly started walking towards eachother not knowing what to say or do because they both had feelings for eachother but harry hadnt admitted to himself that he had them yet so he was confused.
Fred finally spoke up and said "congrats Harry, im going to tell you something to make this coming out thing easier for you, but promise you wont tell anyone, only George and Hermione know but i think ron suspects something"
" I promise" Harry said staring into freds eyes thinking to himself that Fred was beautiful and amazing and he wished he could be with him. This time harry didnt stop himself from having those thoughts it was as if he was finally realising his feeling for fred.
"Im also Gay" Fred told Harry. The look on Harrys face was between shock and happiness, fred noticed this and smiled at harry who smiled back.
"Lets go to our dorm shall we" Harry said.
The boys both walked up to their dorm when harry said "Fred?"
"Yeah harry" He replied with a slight smile on his face.
Harry wasnt sure what he was going to say so he just said "goodnight" but before he could think about what he was doing he kissed Fred on the cheek and just hurried off to his bed which was at the very end of the room he walked past ron who asked if he was alright he just would reply " yeah im alright, just a bit tired" and with that harry drew the curtains around his bed and fell asleep happy. Fred was still stood outside the door to the dorm wondering what just happened. Did Harry like him back? Did he imagine it? With all these thoughts going through fred climbed into his bed and also fell asleep happy.
