Broken- A Harry Potter Fanfic

Chapter 29: Confessions

It had been a week since Harry knew he was bisexual, since he knew he liked Draco. The only person that knew was Ginny, but he was wondering if he should tell Ron and Hermione. He'd felt bad that he hadn't told them already, but every time he thought about it he got anxious.

Pushing aside his anxiety, he walked over to where they were sitting in the common room  one night after dinner. "Guys, I need to tell you something." The two looked up from their work, and Harry took a seat next to Hermione. It was silent for a few minutes, Harry trying to get the words to leave his mouth, Ron and Hermione waiting silently. 

Eventually, Ron decided to speak up. "Mate, what is it? You can tell us anything."

Harry closed his eyes, taking deep breaths. "I'm bi." He opened one eye to see their reactions. Hermione's eyes were sparkling with delight, and Ron had gone back to his Charms assignment. He sighed in relief, and opened his other eye.

"I knew it!" Harry jumped, and looked around for the voice he'd heard. 

A quieter one whispered-yelled, "Seamus, be quiet!"

"Dean?" Harry asked.

"Now look at what you've done, you've got us caught," Dean said, walking out from the hiding spot, Seamus following.

"Me! Your the one who said my name, making it obvious who we were," Seamus retorted. Harry just stared at the two, before bursting out in laughter. Ron and Dean started laughing too, Seamus and Hermione joining in as well. People started coming out of their rooms to see what all the noise was about. Some rolled their eyes and went back in their rooms, other stayed and watched the five with curious faces, before eventually leaving as well.

"Were you guys spying on us?" Harry asked after they'd calmed down a bit.

"Of course not! We were studying, and gathering information. Very different from spying," Seamus stated. Harry rolled his eyes.

"How exactly?"

"Well, because we had good reason to be studying you. And besides, it not like we found out anything new. Dean and I have known you were bi since like, third year."

"Your bi?" Harry turned around, and Draco was standing there, eyes wide slightly.

"Y-yes," Harry replied, mentally cursing himself for stuttering.

"Oh," the blond said, before rushing off to his room. Harry's eyes widened, and he turned to the other four.

"Do you think he's-"

"Homophobic? No," Seamus said, looking amused. Now that he looked around the room, so did Dean and Hermione.

"So, Harry. Who was it?" Dean asked.

"Who was what?"

"Who was the lucky bloke that made you realize you were bisexual?" Harry felt his face heat up.

"Oh, would you look at the time? I better get some sleep, night guys!" Harry practically ran to his room after that.

"Do you think it was Draco?" Hermione whispered.

"It's possible. But we are a bit biased, it could be Ron for all we know," Dean responded.

"Ew, it is not me!"

"Maybe it's Neville. They share a room, and have you seen him without a shirt?" Seamus added, receiving a playful smack on the arm from Dean.

"Let's just ask him about it tomorrow, I need to find Pansy anyway."

-----------------------------------

Harry ran into his room, leaning against the door once he'd closed it, panting. 

"You alright Harry?" Neville asked.

"I'm bi," he said. 

"You are? I think I...I think I might be asexual and aromantic."

The two boys just looked at each other for a little while, before Harry got ready for bed and Neville went back to his Herbology book.

"You should tell people, you know. Maybe they'd stop throwing themselves at you constantly," Harry said as he sat on his bed. Neville put a bookmark in his book, and set it down.

"I know, but...what if they don't. What if it gets worse?" Harry sighed.

"What's wrong with the world?"

"Everything." And with that, the two fell asleep, though Harry woke only two hours later from the nightmares that plague his sleep daily.

---------------------------------

Draco ran into him room. Harry was bisexual? Does this mean he had a chance now? His heart was racing, and he felt a bit dizzy.

"What are you doing here?" The blond froze. "Thought you moved out?"

"I did. Just ran into the wrong room, I think I'll leave now."

"No, I don't think you will. Petrificus Totalus! " Draco's whole body froze, literally this time.
