"Lesbian?" Harry echoed, looking a little struck dumb. He sort of stared at Ginny and I curiously, like he was seeing us for the first time. We were holding hands.

"So you… don't like guys," Ron slowly articulated.

"Well I like both," Ginny said with a sigh, rolling her eyes at her brother, "But Hermione doesn't like guys at all."

"Ah," Ron said, "Hmm. Ah. So is that why…"

He glanced at me, and then away. I smiled a little sadly, then nodded.

"So it wasn't me, it was my gender," Ron said a little thoughtfully. A little too thoughtfully.

"Don't tell me you're going to try and get a sex change," Ginny said, wrinkling her nose, "Besides, she's mine now."

With that she reached over with her other arm to hold my hand in two of hers possessively. I couldn't stop myself from smiling at this and leaning against her a little. But that may have been too much PDA for Harry and Ron. Harry's face took on an odd expression and Ron looked a little disturbed, like he didn't quite understand.

"Okay," Harry said, looking a little hurt as he gazed quietly at Ginny. He sighed and then said, "At least… she doesn't put you in danger."

I saw Ginny's expression go empathetic and I gave her hand a little squeeze.

"I'm sorry," Ginny said, "Don't feel guilty, or bad… I think it's just as well we broke up when we did because… it probably would have happened eventually anyway. I'm sorry."

Harry nodded understandingly, then glanced at Ron, suddenly throwing him a grin and saying, "What do you say, mate? They've left us no other options, you know."

Ron looked torn between amused and disturbed as he said, "Ay ay," and then took Harry's hand before dropping to one knee and saying dramatically, "You know I've always harbored feelings for you, Harry."

"Okay, that's enough," Harry said with a laugh, dropping Ron's hand, "I'm still interested in girls."

"Glad to here it, friend," Ron replied, standing up and smirking at Ginny and I.

Maybe Hogwarts wouldn't be so averse to a GSA as I thought. It was time to find out.
