A Quest for Acceptance (A Solangelo at Hogwarts fanfic)

Oh Look Nico's Dramatic Too

From here on out I'm just going to put the language stuff that's in the chapter up here.

That being said:
Greek: Bold Italics

Enjoy!

"So you're telling me that, this whole time, you knew that those two were together, but you didn't tell me?"

"Well, I mean, yeah. They're best friends, they flirt constantly, they even argue like an old married couple. It's kinda obvious."

Harry groaned defeatedly, rubbing his eyes. Ron looked at him slightly baffled, like he was completely shocked that Harry hadn't noticed just how close Dean and Seamus were.

"How was I supposed to notice though? They're not really my friends, and it's not like I get invested in other people's lives all the time," Harry complained, waving his hands around vaguely.

Ron chuckled. "Sorry, mate, you're just oblivious."

Harry glared at him briefly before flopping back onto his bed.

He sat back up immediately.

"Wait a second. Sirius and Remus act similar, and they're just good friends!" Harry pointed out, trying to defend his utter obliviousness.

Ron blew out a breath. "Blimey, mate, I hate to break it to you, but Sirius has a big thing for Lupin. I dunno about the other way, but... your godfather's really gay."

Harry flopped back again, pressing his palms to his face in order to process this new information. He probably would've stayed like that if Ron hadn't clapped a hand on his shoulder and suggested they find Fred, George, and Ginny and play a bit of Quidditch. Harry accepted, of course, because Quidditch was fun and had clear-cut rules and maneuvers and you didn't have to analyze what's going on, you can just react.

Nico and Will returned sometime during the mini-match and sat on the sideline, observing. Whenever Harry took a second to glance at them, Nico had his head in Will's lap and was seemingly trying to make sense of the game as Will played with his hair. But Ginny would always lob one ball or another at Harry's head when he got distracted, and he'd inevitably rush to grab it and throw it right back. He'd miss the throw, though; he'd never had the best aim.

The match officially ended when Ginny and Harry crashed into each other while attempting to grab the little ball Hermione had enchanted for them to use as a Snitch. Harry caught it, of course, but the force of the impact made him so dizzy he could barely see straight. He and Ginny dropped to the ground, laughing like maniacs and clutching each other's shoulders to keep themselves upright.

When Harry got his breath back, he noticed that Fred, George, and Ron had landed as well and were chatting with Will and Nico, who were still sitting on the grass. Harry and Ginny made their way over to the group and collapsed next to the couple.

"What're you guys up to?" Ginny asked politely.

"Ah, we just got back from Diagon Alley and Nico wanted to hang out outside for a while," Will supplied. "Your mom's inside making dinner. I'd help but the last time I was in a kitchen I set the toaster on fire, so I've been banned from that by this one," Will chuckled, gesturing towards Nico's head, which was still in his lap.

Fred and George laughed uproariously at that, demanding the whole story, which Will supplied somewhat hesitantly with the occasional interjection by Nico. Harry listened to the story as well and couldn't help but notice how very familiar the couple was with each other. Even their speech patterns wove together like knitting needles, effortlessly talking around the other to tell the whole story, no details forgotten. Harry wondered if other couples talked like that, or if these two were just special.
