POV: HARRY
"Harry, want to go to Hogsmeade with me on Saturday?"
"Jessica, hi! Again... No thank you, I'm busy on Saturday."
That's the seventh girl who has asked me out this week. First it was Jane, then Samantha, Tessa, Lucy, Jessica, a third year whose name I didn't even know and then Jessica. Again. I'm fed up. They just want to date me because I'm the Chosen One, I defeated Voldemort. Oh, and I'm rich as heck! To be honest after Ginny and Cho, I've decided I'm not going to date females, I'm gonna try males. Though, I haven't told anyone else yet.

I started questioning in my fourth year after competing in the Goblet of Fire with Cedric. I reckon he was my bi awakening as Ginny calls it. Ginny is the only one who knew. When we broke up, she came out to me as pan and told me she thought she liked Luna- which I guess is true as they are dating now. After that I told her I was Bi. We hugged and laughed and went downstairs giggling and smirking as we told Molly we were no longer dating. She was heartbroken, as was Ron, but she came to terms with it and absolutely adores Luna.

As I was walking out of Defence Against the Dark Arts, I saw Ginny waiting for me in her Quidditch kit. 8th years are not allowed to play but we can still coach and give advice to the younger players. Ginny and I wondered down to the changing rooms when she suddenly stopped and said,
"Oh my god."
"Is everything okay Gin?"
"You're the Bi who Lived!" She said through laughter. I snorted.
"More like The Bi who won't Fucking Die!" I said through tears of laughter as we were trying to catch our breathes which only set us off again. The two of us were giggling like three-year olds and eventually I had to leave training because we wouldn't focus so I walked slowly back up to the Gryffindor common room.
I sat with Neville, Dean and Seamus (Of which, the latter two where sharing an armchair which in my opinion was very cute). I decided I needed to tell them about being Bi, I couldn't bear lying to them any longer, so I asked them to come up to the dorm. We sat on Ron's old bed.
"Harry, is everything okay, you look worried?" Dean.
"Yeah, I agree with Dean, you look really stressed all of a sudden." Seamus.
"Okay, right." I twisted my hands in my lap. "I don't know why I'm so scared all of a sudden, I thought I was ready. Right I'm just gonna say it and if you don't like it, screw you. I'm Bi!" I babbled until I head Seamus laugh.
"You're... The Bi... who lived...!" This broke the group into fits of giggles.
"Funnily enough that's what Ginny said!"
"Wait, hasn't Ginny been dumped by two Bi men now?" Neville decided to point out, Dean gasped in realisation
"Oh god! Poor Ginny! Harry, why were you worried to tell us, Shay is as gay as can be, I'm Bi and Neville is such a sweet dude who couldn't care less?" The others nodded in agreement.
"I guess it was admitting it out loud which scared me the most," I admitted. We all talked some more and laughed. When we calmed down Neville offered around sweets and we ate chocolate through the rest of the weekend. At some point we were all laying on the floor when Dean piped up.
"Okay so how long do we reckon we'll have to wait for a Romione Wedding?"
"Romione?" Neville questioned.
"Oh you two don't know about this do you? Well me and De gave all the couple's ship names, which De told me meant taking the people in a relationship and then, merging their name together." Seamus explained. "For example, me and De are called Deamus, Luna and Ginny are Linny and before that you and Ginny," Seamus pointed at me, "were Hinny. Ron and Hermione are Romione!"
"Ahhhhh, okay that makes sense. I don't really know, I guess at some point in the next couple of years!" I replied. We all laughed some more, joking around. That was until Seamus hit Dean. With a Pillow. Dean hit back at Seamus who ducked and poor Neville got hit instead.
"Oh it is on!" Neville yelled.

The next thing I know, the four of us are standing in a circle holding empty pillowcases and feathers are floating around us, laughing. We start pulling out our wands and casting spells to fix them so we can go to sleep finally.

POV: Harry
Dear Harry,
How is everything at Hogwarts. How are all of your classes. Okay Moony made me ask that. The full moon is already having an effect him this month which means Padfoot's gonna have to do some major distracting to do! I know he's struggling but he won't let me help him. "Sirius I'm fine honestly, I would tell you if I wasn't wouldn't I." Honestly, that man hasn't changed since we were at school, but I wouldn't have him any other way. Pup don't tell him I've said any of this in this letter or I'll be in the Doghouse!
Hermione and Ron came over for tea yesterday and it was really nice to talk to them. Hermione and Remus spent almost all evening talking about some new book they've been reading. Ron and I talked about his progress in the Auror training. It seems quite exciting but I'm not sure I would do it! Narcissa invited us over again tomorrow. Moony said he's not going to go but I'll pop over. I'll tell you about it in my next letter.
Remember to write back and write to Moony after the full moon, it will really cheer him up. Keep up with work and make sure you have fun.
Padfoot :)

Padfoot,
Hiya! Tell Moony to remember to ask for help when he needs it, I'll be worrying about him otherwise.
Tell Ron to write to me (or Hermione). I'd like to hear from them at some point. Please be careful going to The Malfoy's. I know you're an adult- I can almost hear Moony disagreeing with me saying you act like a child- but I still worry about you guys. I'll write again at some point next week. I have to go for breakfast now, write again soon.

I clipped my letter to Remus' owl and let her out of the window. I waltzed down to the Great Hall. I sat down when the 7th year Hufflepuff, Danielle, walked over to me,
"Hi Harry! How about it, you want to take me out for a nice dinner date?" She questioned, fluttering her eyes, and blushing slightly. I had had enough so without even thinking, I blurted out,
"Do you want me for my money or for my fame because that's all people seem to care about. Would you actually care about me as a person or do you want a pair of shoes that only I probably can afford?" I stood up, "You know what? Let me tell you something then you can decide if you still want me and my money. I'm Bisexual. I like men and women." I hadn't processed what I had said until I hear a collective gasp and inaudible whispers. " I mean I urm-" I flushed, starting to panic. I wanted the ground to swallow me right there and then. Voldemort could come back, and I would be grateful for the Killing Curse.
Then I heard clapping.
"Yes Harry, I'm so proud of you!" Ginny yelled. People started clapping and telling me they supported me. A few people across all four tables rolled their eyes or shouted things but McGonagall sorted them out quicker than you can say accio! I was proud of myself.
Then I saw Malfoy flush, get up and run out of the Great Hall.
"I wonder what's up with him?" I heard Dean murmur beside me.
"Your disgusting you know. You either like dick or not. You can't like both-" Danielle started but got cut off by gagging and soon she threw up a slug. Followed by another. And another. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Luna put her wand away and smiled innocently. I smiled back and watched as further chaos ensued. Danielle was ushered to the Hospital wing by her friend who sent me apologetic smiled.
But even after all this, one question played on my mind...

Why did Malfoy run out of the Great Hall?
