Wait. Let me get this straight. (Pfft. Straight)

People...like actual human people (or non-human. I don't discriminate) are reading these...and enjoying them?!
Wow. Cheers, I guess?

Note: lots of dialogue. This is quite possibly the most all-over the place chapter in this book. It's a mess.

"Hey hazza! What's up?" Sirius slightly translucent form inquired.

Harry sighed, suddenly questioning whether the common room fireplace was the best place to floo someone. Sirius, especially.

"Heyy, Pads." He greeted lacklusterly, his smile clearly faltering.

A smile tugged at Sirius' face with the familiar nickname, falling slightly when he noticed Harry's hesitation.

"What's wrong?"

"..nothing's 'wrong'," He started, "it's just- remember when you said, not exactly but something like, 'you know, you can always come to me if you want to chat about, like, girls and problems with them ' or whatever? Do you?"

Sirius raised his eyebrows in acknowledgement and chuckled awkwardly,

"You know, Harry. I'm- I'm not exactly the best person to speak with you about girls. You know I'm gay, ri-"

A hand found itself pinching the bridge of his nose, his eyes scrunching closed as he interrupted,

"Yeah. Yeah, I know. Which is- is why I'm taking it up with you and not -say - dad."

His godfather's expression was empty for a second, pondering his words as he scratched his jaw with a painted fingernail. His eyes lit up suddenly, lips quirking amusedly.

" Harry. Are you saying, what I think your saying?"

He tilted his head, teasing smile still tweaking his face, observing his godson as his eyes morphed with panic and somewhat-confusion.

"Well, I mean-"

"Wait, actually, hold on one sec." He paused, turning away from where Harry sat, cross-legged on the same rug that adorned the floor in his own school years.

"Babe! Can you come 'ere for a sec?" He called, before turning back to Harry.

The boy's expression darkened even more, "really?"

"Well, yeah. I mean, you still like girls, don't ya?"

"Sure?"

"So does Remus. If anything, he would be the better one to talk to right now." Sirius theorized, nodding at the total sense to him.

"What was that about me?" Remus asked as he came into view, raising a coffee mug to his lips.

"You're bisexual. Speaking of which, Harry would like to make an announcement."

Remus settled beside his husband, occasionally sipping from the mug in his hands. He nodded for Harry to elaborate, silently questioning the way he chewed his lip and wrung his hands.

"Alright, making this seem more important than it actually is-"

"Harry's got a boyfriend! I'm sorry."

"Wait- no!"

"No?" Sirius questioned, obviously disappointed.

Remus sighed, setting the mug somewhere out of Harry's vision and resting an arm over Sirius' shoulders, scoffing at his downcast expression.

"Harry, you wanna start again?" He asked calmly.

"Right- so- there might be a boy involved-"
