Watching from the Walls

Ok so this is a spur of the moment sorta thing, i saw this idea and was like, i need to do this so here we go

Harry always paid attention to where he was going in the halls at hogwarts for his eighth year, unlike when he used to just walk down corridors and main hallways without a care. Now he had to be careful, because one hallway in particular was one he avoided at almost all costs. The hallway with the portraits of those who gave their lives in the battle of hogwarts just over a year earlier. Harry hardly ventured down the hallway unless he needed advice or someone to talk to. Usually advice was taken from Remus and the someone to talk to was either Tonks or Sirius(Harry had asked for the portrait of his godfather to be made and placed next to Remus). Tonks was good if Harry was emotional, and Sirius was good if he was angry or couldn't talk to Hermione or Ron. But, for the most part, Harry avoided the hallway with the portraits, unlike most students who went to see their family and friends.

Though, today was different, Harry purposefully ventured into the hallway, looking to sit in front of the three people he desperately wanted to see, who all happened to be placed next to each other, Tonks, Remus and Sirius. He had questions and needed to talk to people other that his two bestfriends. So, he walked down to the end of the hall, saying hello to the portraits as he went, finally arriving at the people he needed to see desperately.

"Harry!" Tonks cheered

"Hello Harry" Remus smiled

"If it isn't my favorite godson" Sirius said

"Hello everyone, and I'm your only godson" Harry replied

"Which makes you the favorite" Sirius laughed

"Ignore him, he has been in a mood all day" Remus said, rolling his eyes with a smile evident

"You aren't wrong" Tonks laughed

"Can I talk to you guys about something?" Harry asked after a minute of looking nervous

"Anything, you know that" Sirius said giving a reassuring smile

"Its just, there's this person, who I really like, and I'm not sure if they like me back, and we have been on great terms this year, being partners in potions and other classes, talking everyday, sitting together in the library, but I don't know how they see me" Harry sort of mumbled out in one long sentence.

Remus looked to Sirius then to Tonks with a sort of knowing look, then back to Harry.

"Harry, is there something you aren't telling us?" Remus asked gently

"What do you mean?" Harry asked

"Well, you haven't told us who this person is, and assuming by your reluctance to use gendered pronouns, you don't really want us to know" Remus explained

"Oh, well, I suppose that's true" Harry said

"So, I ask you again, is there something you aren't telling us?" Remus asked

Harry took a deep breathe and looked between the portraits before looking at the ground and sighing

"You have to promise not to tell anyone, not even Ron and Hermione know" Harry said

The three agreed and sat patiently waiting

"I-im gay" Harry said just loudly enough for the three to hear but not for it to travel down the hallway

"We know" Sirius replied with a smile

"What?" Harry asked, brows furrowed

The three looked at each other before Tonks spoke
