Harry's POV
The first week of school went by in a flash. Before I knew it, it was Sunday, and I still hadn't told Ron and Hermione about my-Well, I guess-date. I knew I had to do it soon, because they probably didn't want to find out on the Hogsmead trip. But I can't say I wasn't a little worried.
"Harry? Are you okay?" Ron asked. "You haven't really been sleeping well, don't deny it."
"Oh, well..." it was true. My sleeping habits weren't great, but they weren't as bad as I thought they would be. "That's not what's bothering me." I said.
"What is it, Harry?" Hermione asked.
"Ok, just, come with me." I said. I walked out of the common room, Hermione and Ron following nervously.
"What is it, Harry?" Hermione asked when I walked into an unused classroom.
"Ok, here goes." I took a breath. "I have a date."
Hermione squealed, which I don't think she's ever done before. "Oh, who with, Harry?"
"Joshua King." I said. "I think I'm bi."
"Since when?" Ron asked faintly.
"Last year. But we didn't really have time to worry about that then, did we?"
"Good point. But you should have told us!" Ron said.
"Ronald! He told us now, didn't he?" Hermione asked slapping Ron's arm lightly. "And Joshua's very kind-we had Muggle Studies together in third year."
"Right." Ron said. "Well, at least you're not going after Ginny anymore."
"I-I wasn't going after her ever!" I protested.
"Yeah sure," Ron said. "Whatever you need to tell yourself, mate."
"When?" Hermione asked.
"Next weekend. We're going to meet George for something, he wouldn't tell me what."
"Oh." Hermione grinned. "That."
"Uh huh. Now I'm scared, not gonna lie." I said.

Draco's POV
"Draco, come on, we have to get to Divination!" Pansy said, grabbing my arm and pulling me along. I had barely slept last night because of my mother's response.
Draco,
I'm glad your school is going well. Unfortunetly people hate the Malfoy's, and it took far too long for me to ge this one-they were worried it had a curse as well. Don't worry, I'm fine. No curses have reached me. Continue working hard and making friends. Make sure to owl me if you need anything, anything at all.
Lot's of love,
Mother.I was so worried about her. Of course, I knew some people hated us for our part in the war, but to send curses? I suppose I should have expected it.
"Draco, I'm not joking, hurry up." Pansy said, snapping me out of the thoughts.
"Sorry." I said, following Pansy.
"Welcome back, class." Professer Trelawny said as I took my seat across from Weasley. "Today, we are going to go over what we saw last class."
"Right, so, Harry, what did you see?" King asked. He seemed happier than usual-so did Harry.
"Nothing. What about you?" Harry asked. Weasley fake gagged. "Shut up." Harry said to him.
"What are you talking about?" I asked, annoyed.
"Joshua and I are going on a-well, date I guess." Harry said smiling. I almost fell off my seat. Harry dates guys? He-
No, don't think like that. I scolded myself. Even if he likes guys, he wouldn't like me. I'm the son of a deatheater. There was a light tingle on my left forearm, as though the mark was remindining me. Not just that, I am a deatheater.
"Cool." I said, resting my head on my hands. "Really interesting."
The rest of the class was pretty uneventful.

I'm so sorry about the super short chapter guys!!! I just wanted everyone to find out about Harry being bi and this was the best way to do it. So yeah. That's done now. I promise the next chapter is going to be longer, better, and way more eventful. Teehee.
I'll be back, fellow Drarry shippers!!!
