“Can’t sleep son?” Harry asked sitting down beside Albus on the couch in front of their fireplace. “Is everything okay?”
“Eh, yeah, its just…” Albus began to speak but soon was at a loss for words. How does one admit to being gay and in love with a Malfoy all in one sitting? He took a deep breath and gazed deep into the fire. Perhaps telling his father a half truth was the best route. “I think I’m in love.”
Harry let out a chuckle and smiled at his son. “I see. Well you have a funny way of showing it.” He responded.
“What do you mean?” He said turning to face his father.
“She’s been here all break and you haven’t even tried to sneak past our room at night to get to hers.” His father replied raising one eyebrow. Instantly Albus became aware that admitting even a bit of truth was going to be more difficult than he had imagined.
As he got closer to his confession his heart began to race. “Dad, it’s not Emily that I love. She is a nice girl and all, but I’m just not…” Albus became silent once more and looked away from his father unable to bear the speculation in his eyes.
“Well if you love someone else,” Harry began with measured speaking, sensing the battle raging within his youngest son “why are you still with her?”
“Because the person I love would not want to be with me, and I couldn’t be with them…ever.” Albus answered lowering his eyes even more. He was aware that his father would not approve of the fact that he was using Emily simply for her affections.
“Then I think you know what you should do Albus.” Harry said with a hint of sternness. “Its not fair to her.”
“I know.”
“And who is this person you think you are in love with?”
Albus’ heart began to do leaps and bounds. His palms got sweaty. His mouth want dry. “Well you see,” he began nervously “It’s not really someone I think you would approve of.”
“Oh.” Harry sat up straight, a simple movement which made Albus even more nervous. It was now or never.
“It’s not a girl I’m in love with.”
Albus sat completely still and waited for his father’s reaction to the news that his son was gay. It seemed like an eternity before Harry spoke again. “How long have you known that you’re gay?” He asked quietly. Albus turned once more to look his father in the eye. There was no rejection to be found, no disgust, or disappointment, just compassion and acceptance. It was then that Albus began to cry.
“Son, Albus, it’s alright I’m not going to disown you or something.” He said with a small laugh as he pulled his son into a hug.
“At the beginning of this year; I never knew before that, I swear!” He cried into Harry’s shoulder. Relief at his father’s acceptance spread throughout his body. The secret he had carried so long was now shared with another who loved him dearly.
“But I do mean what I said about Emily.” Harry added gripping the boy by his shoulders and looking into his son’s now red and puffy eyes.
“I understand.” Albus replied as he wiped his eyes with a pajama sleeve. “She has been hinting that she was bored here. I think she will go home tomorrow, I’ll do it then.”
Harry nodded. “Do you want to tell your mother? Or should I?”
“No one has to tell me anything.” Ginny Potter’s voice said from behind the couch. Both father and son gave a jolt of surprise and turned around to watch Ginny as she took a seat on the other side of Albus. “Sweetheart, I wish you would have said something sooner.” She said wrapping her arms around her younger son “You have been miserable all this time and I did not understand why.”
“So you’re not mad?” He asked. Streams of tears poured down the boy’s face as his body relaxed.
“A bit surprised.” She answered honestly. “Other than that, I’m just glad that you let your father know.”
“All we really want is for you to be happy Albus. Life is short, you should be able to live it how, and with who you want to.” Harry agreed. “You may want to break the news lightly to your bother though.” Harry said with a voice of mock concern.
“It’s getting late.” Ginny said looking at the clock that read well past midnight. “We can talk more about this tomorrow if you want Albus dear. But not before we find a way to send Emily home. She is driving me crazy.” Albus smiled and nodded in agreement.
