I'm back.
Harry Potter Au cuz why not.
Sans P.O.VIt was another sleepless night. I quietly sigh and toss the covers off myself, I might as well walk around the school. I put my bare feet on the floor and walk out of the Gryffindor dorms.
It's a nice silence that I can have my own thoughts in. I turn down the corridor, wondering what will happen next. Will it be the charms hallway? What happens if I end up in a closet? Can I end up in a closet? What happens, though, is I walk right into someone's face.
Red.
"Wha!" I whisper, careful not to wake anyone. I help him up, offering my bony hand. He silently accepts and I help him up. "What are you doing here? So late at night too."
"Probably the same as you, couldn't sleep," he says, looking at me with a grin. I shake my head, stupid Hufflepuffs. Most of them don't do anything at all. The only one I can think of is Cedric Diggory, and he's Edward Cullen. Stupid vampires.
"Might as well walk together," I smile despite myself. Why am I smiling at all? Hng.
So, whenever I couldn't sleep, I would walk with Red all over the school. One night was so very different though.
One night, we found the mirror of erised. I already what was there, me on the surface and happy with everyone else. This time though, Red was there too, joking around happily with me.
I back up, curious about what Red would see. He steps up the the mirror and his face morphs into confusion, "Why did you put me here? It's just a normal mirror." My face heats up, and I realize what's happening. His greatest dream was to walk with me, alone and happy. It's... beautiful.
That's when I realized I was gay.
