(there might be some spelling mistakes because I translated this from Italian to English, it might say she or her instead of he and him sometimes.So watch out to see who is talking.)

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

Harry sighs silently and watches his frustration take shape in a puff of steam as it vanishes into the freezing air.
It was not a good idea to come to Hogsmeade with Ron and Hermione.
And not just because the weather suddenly decided it was time to replace the pleasant, sunny, autumn days with dullness and pungent air.
But because no matter how hard his friends try to pretend that things between the three of them may be the same as before, they simply can't.
It's not like when those two blockheads of his best friends kept turning around, between a quarrel and an affectionate gesture, unable to recognize their feelings for each other.
An attitude that sometimes amused Harry, sometimes exasperated him.
Now they are a couple, it does not matter that they do not fall into the category of those that always stick together, in an almost nauseating way, a couple is made up of two, not three.
It doesn't matter that they go out of their way to make Harry comfortable, he still feels awkward, too much.
When you get used to going out in four and then one of the two couples splits, inevitably, you feel the lack of something. Whenever Ginny's name accidentally comes up, the atmosphere becomes awkward and forced.
Not that Harry misses his relationship with her. Before cutting it off he thought about it well and for a long time and he and the redhead talked (and talked, and talked ...) and came to the conclusion that it was the right thing for both of them.
Sometimes he lacks the sense of stability that comes from having a steady couple with someone, for example not having to worry about having plans for Sunday, because in any case he will not be alone and above all, his friends will not have to worry that he is. .
Go and explain to the two of them that he doesn't mind being on his own for a while, maybe take a tour of some Muggle neighborhood in London, one of those that made him discover Seamus, with many 'interesting' cafes. Full of boys and girls who want to meet other boys and girls. And maybe after a drink, take a walk in the bathrooms or in the alley behind the club ...
Harry has noticed for a few months that he does not mind the male company as much as the female one. And while he used to prefer talkative, funny, sociable people (like Ginny), lately he has discovered that sometimes the more shy, initially more closed ones, once they let go, reserve pleasant surprises.
He still has a taste for research, for hunting, he doesn't mind working a little to find his treasure.
Not always going out in the evening you find someone appreciable, but even without conquering, going to drink and dance is a better pastime than wandering in search of the fragments of the soul of a mad bastard.
And Harry found that not only does he enjoy sex, but that it's something he's good at. His is not presumption, they just told him, more than once. Maybe it comes naturally to him, like all things where he can act on impulse and follow his instincts, as a good Gryffindor as he is.
It's not much different from flying on a broom, a good adrenaline rush, but without the risk of getting killed.
Perhaps in part this new way of seeing things contributed to the decline of his relationship with Ginny. The desire to throw oneself, to experiment, not to always have to be responsible.
She seemed to want to retrace the steps of her parents, who met during the years of school, in love, engaged and just finished school, married.
It's not like Harry doesn't dream of having a family someday. But from an early age he was forced to face difficulties and responsibilities that forced him to grow up quickly. Since they've practically ruined his childhood and stolen his adolescence, why not fully enjoy all that being a young adult has to offer?
It is not that he has completely lost his romantic streak, but he manages to experience sex even without sentimental implications, carefree.
At least, it was like that until ...
