Hey Guys! So this is my first ever story. I wrote it a long time ago but I never posted it because I was too nervous. But I've always wanted to be a Beta Reader and I can't expect people to let me proofread if they haven't seen my abilities! So here is my first ever fic! I don't know if I'll continue it, I think that depends on the reviews. If you do want me to continue tell me what you think the end pairing should be! I'm open to pretty much anyone, just keep in mind that this is set in Eight Year so Snape, Dumbledore, and Voldemort are dead. I won't pair him with anyone old enough to be his father, (sorry Lucius/Harry fans!) but older men like the Weasley's or Krum are fair game. Also both Weasley twins are alive in this because I refuse to accept them apart. Thank you for your time! Enjoy!

Harry nervously approached Ron and Hermione in the common room. He was dreading this conversation but knew it had to be done. He had been putting it off for far too long and he thought that Hermione was starting to suspect that something was off.

"Guys? Can I talk to you for a moment? In private?"

Ron and Hermione looked up at him surprised and without a word got up and went to Ron and Harry's dorm and sat down on Ron's bed.

"Whats this about mate?" Ron asked.

"Are you finally going to tell us what's been bothering you? Hermione said "Honestly Harry it's not good to keep your emotions bottled up like this you really ought to have told us sooner i'm sure that whatever you have to say can't possibly be-"

"Im gay." Harry held his breath and looked at the two nervously after dropping that bomb. After a long pause Ron croaked out "what?"

"I mean I could be bisexual, I don't think so but it's possible, but bottom line is i like boys." Harry said with a far away look in his eye.

"Is that all? Goodness Harry you had me worried half to death!" Hermione burst forth with a never ending torrent of words. "This is perfectly okay I hope you didn't think we would abandon you or some such other nonsense honestly Harry we're your friends and you've been tiptoeing around us like you had killed someone!"

"Um yeah whatever she said mate," said Ron.

Harry nervously smiled and said "I mean during the war I didn't have much time to think about things like that but now that the war is over and I'm not dead I can finally think about what I want in life and I'm pretty sure I like boys." Harry finished with a blush spreading across his face. Hermione eyed Harry suspiciously before saying, "Any particular guy in mind?"

Harry gained a panicked look as his face bloomed fiery hot. "No," he squeaked. "There is!" yelled Ron. "Nuh-uh," said Harry.

"Just tell us Harry we promise we'll still like you," said Hermione.

"No way," said Harry with a mulish expression.

Ron and Hermione glanced at each other knowingly.

There was another pause. Finally Ron snorted. The other two turned to him inquiringly.

"Sorry it's just that all your fans are going to be so pissed!" chuckled Ron.

Harry groaned, fell backwards on his bed and threw his arm over his eyes.

"Don't remind me! The fan mail is getting ridiculous! If I have to see one more letter with some 12 year old girl- or worse some 40 year-old woman- squealing over "How brave I am!" and how much they'd just "love to be held in my big strong arms!" I think i'm going to off myself."

"Ha! Big and strong? Yeah right," Ron laughed.

Harry sat up and threw a pillow at him."I'm big and strong!"

At this Hermione who had been watching their antics with a smile, grinned and said "Harry you're like, what, 160 centimeters?"

"162!" cried Harry.

Ron snorted, not so quietly.

Harry rolled his eyes and fell backwards again with an oof. "Whatever guys as long as we're cool."

Hermione smiled at him and said "We'll never abandon you Harry give us some credit!"

Ron rolled his eyes and with an evil grin jumped on Harry. "Yeah mate no crime is high enough!"

Harry screamed and yelled "Gerroff me!"

Seamus, Dean, and Neville walked in laughing and upon seeing the two wrestling on Harry's bed while Hermione sat back and laughed yelled "Dog pile!" and jumped on top of the both of them.

Still laughing Hermione climbed on top of all of them and sat criss-cross.

The boys groaned and shook until they all fell into a heap upon the floor laughing and gasping for air. Harry smiled and scolded himself "There was no need to think they'd leave me, they're my best friends!"

The next morning as Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked down to the Great Hall Hermione turned to him and asked "Are you going to tell anyone else about what we talked about?"

Harry paused and thought before saying "I won't publicly announce it but I won't hide it either. If someone asks I'll tell them the truth.

"The truth about what?" a voice piped up.

The trio turned to find Dean, Seamus, and Neville standing there.

"Uhh.." Harry stuttered.

Neville frowned. "Are you okay Harry?"

"Um yeah I'm fine." Harry nervously replied.

"So the truth about what?" insisted Seamus.

"Um...I'm gay." Harry practically whispered.

Seamus, Dean, and Neville adopted shocked looks.

"But i thought Ginny?" trailed Dean.

"It didnt work out between us anyway and I finally figured out why." said Harry.

"So you really don't mind?" said Dean worriedly.

"No, Dean, it's fine really, I promise." said Harry smiling.

Actually Harry had been thrilled when Dean and Ginny got together. Dean was a good guy and he knew he'd treat Ginny right. He may not love Ginny like that but he still loved her and wanted her happy.

"Wait so all these years you've been in the dorm, completely available and I didn't know?! Well we'll have to fix that, won't we." leered Seamus.

"Umm…"" stuttered Harry blushing heavily and taking a few tiny steps back.

Seamus advanced with a leer. "Now now little Harry. Don't run there's so much I can teach you!"

Hermione watched Seamus' antics with a frown. "Should we help?"

"Naw, Hermione," scoffed Ron. "Seamus will take care of him. Let's go into the Great Hall im hungry.

"That's what i'm worried about," Hermione mumbled while reluctantly following Dean, Neville and Ron into the Great Hall.

"Harry, Harry, sweet little Harry. There's so much to teach you and I couldn't live with myself if I left a sweet little twink bottom like you helpless and alone."

"Um what?" said Harry.

"No shhh no need to thank me," soothed Seamus while pulling Harry closer and settling his hands on his hips, his fingers creeping inside his untucked uniform, "I'll take care of you."

By now Harry was a blushing mess and mentally chanting 'Big and strong.I am big and strong.' He slowly tried to ease himself away from Seamus' wandering hands. "I think I'm okay, but thanks anyways Seamus."

Seamus finally let go but not without sneaking in a brief but in-depth grope of Harry's bum.

Harry squeaked and his previously fading blush came back in full force.

"Alright Harry I let you go for now but remember. I'm here," Seamus said intensely."Anytime you want to talk or just, you know, release some tension, i'm here," he said with a leering wink.

"I'll keep that in mind" said Harry. "Let's go i'm hungry. And with that he turned and strode purposefully into the Great Hall unaware that even as Seamus followed he kept his eyes trained to Harry's bum, a past time that had previously been wistful but was now determined.
