„Harry what are you doing?“ asked Ginny Weasley as the boy-who-lived runs by her without paying attention to her or her friends.
„I am going to see Seamus and the others are waiting for me. Bye Ginny.“ With that Harry hurries away. Sometimes he couldn`t believe that she was Ron`s sister because she didn`t get the hint that he would never love her or even go out with her once.
Ever since they defeated Voldemort the Houses had stopped their fighting.
Two month ago Draco became not quite their friend but a non enemy, much to Hermiones disgust. She had always wanted Ron but he told her he wasn’t interested.
Ron had told his father and his brothers that he was gay. Harry already knew it. Arthur only said that he shouldn’t tell his mother and otherwise was fine with it.
But than again Arthur was really understanding when it came to the love lifes of his children. The only thing which surprised him more than Ron had been the confessions of Bill, Charlie and Percy and Fred and George.
The family had been together for christmas with Harry as the eldest of the Weasley children decided that the family deserved the truth.
FLASHBACK
*******
„Mom, Dad I want to tell you something about me. Or rather about me, Charlie and Percy.“ There Bill seemed to hesitate.
„Mom, you always tried to tell us that we should find nice girlfriends and have many children. I must tell you that you will never have grandchildren from me. This is because I am gay. So are Charlie and Percy. And before you say anything we three are together.“
The silence which followed was broken when Molly fainted and Ginny and Hermione began to laugh. They just couldn’t believe it to be true. Who in their right mind would want Percy? Bill or Charlie, okay. But Percy?
Arthur looked uncomprehending at his boys.
How could something like this happen right under his nose? But then he remembered his own attraction toward a boy in his youth. Not his brother, but a boy nonetheless.
'Could I hate my own boys?‘
'No!!! Never. When they love each other then so be it!‘
'But what about Molly? She will never understand. There had been some problems between us because of the twins, but had she been right to throw them out?‘
Suddenly all seemed clear to the head of the Weasley clan.
„Ginny, Hermione please take Molly up to the bedroom and help her. I think we have things to talk about that isn’t for girls ears.“
Ginny saw red at this.
„How can you talk like this? Aren’t you going to punish them, Dad? This is disgusting! My own brothers fucking each other...“
Before she could finish the triad she flew against the next wall.
Bill and Charlie were standing before Percy who tried to sink into the chair he was sitting on. Obviously she had hit a nerve. Percy seemed even more insecure than ever before.
„Don’t ever talk like that about our feelings again Virginia Elisabeth Weasley! You don’t know anything about love and our feelings! Now if you don’t want to be hurled up by your ass, go upstairs and take Mom and Hermione with you. Don’t come down till you are told.“ Bill was so furious. Charlie and Bill had sex since Chalie had been of age. Later they discovered that they were in love...But something was missing in their relationship. Four years later they found the missing piece. Percy.
„Dad! Why do you allow him to talk to me like that?“ Ginny just didn’t understand when it was time to give up. Even Hermione stayed silent whether her face wore a look of disgust or not.
„Ginny. Go upstairs and stay there!“ Arthur was now angry but not at his sons. Rather at his daughter. How had he never seen her so manipulating and mean?
With an evil look at Percy and an adoring one to Harry she left. With her Mom floating before her and Hermione trailing after her.
***************
„Now please sit down Bill and Charlie. Do you three want to talk to me alone or is it alright when the others stay?“
Nobody else had said anything since the whole disaster started. Fred and George already knew. And Ron and Harry were really tolerant when it came down to their friends and family. But also because they were shocked.
„I think they can stay. What do you say Percy?“
Bill looked at Percy with such gentle eyes that the others in the suddenly understood. Percy was the most fragile one of the three and they protected him. Even from themselves it would seem.
„I...I don’t kn...know. I can’t...“ with that Percy stood up as if to leave. But Charlie caught his hand and held it in his own.
„Percy, we talked about it. Remember how you said that you don’t want to sneak around any more? Now is our chance! When you leave now then you know we will leave with you. But than you will admit that Ginny is right and that we are doing something that is forbidden and wrong. Do you want that? We know that you are not a coward Percy. Please do this for us. For Bill and me. Love, please.“
Percy seemed to be calming down, wherther due to the soothing words or the circular motions on his hand.
As he began to sit down Arthur halted his actions as he took Percy’s hand and caught him in an embrace.
„Percy. You don’t have to be frightened. I accept your relationship. I just want to understand. It is okay to love boys and when these boys happen to be your brothers it is okay. I just want to know how it happened. Will you all sit down in the living room? It will be more comfortable and we can put up an anti-eveasdropping charm.“
Percy stayed in his fathers arms as they went to sit on the couch there he went into Bill’s and Charlie’s arms.
Bill looked at his father and discovered new respect for the man he had always admired. He had the ability to calm Percy just by stating his feelings. By telling them that he was alright with their relationship. Now his younger lover was a bit reassured in their fathers love and support.
„Will you tell me how this happened, Bill?“
He asked Bill because he was the oldest of the three and because he didn’t want to corner Percy or distract Charlie in his task of calming Percy even further.
„Charlie and I are lovers since he is eighteen. We just started it for fun. Girls were boring and feeble. So we decided to just try it with a boy. And what better way to experiment than with your brother who felt the same way?“
Now Charlie began to talk.
„I talked with Bill about girls and how they were so dumb and just there to seduce you and than talk with their friends about it. He said that he knew what I meaned and said that maybe he will try it with a boy someday. I said that he could try it with me. And so it all started. A year later I discovered that I had fallen in love with my own brother and tried to end our relationship. But Bill just wouldn’t take it without an explanation and forced me to tell him why. I told him that because I love him I had to end this. Then he began to laugh and to cry. I got so angry that I hit him. Suddenly I was lying on the ground with him over me. Kissing me. Then he said that he loved me too and had just discovered it a few weeks ago.“
„How did Percy come into this?“ asked Ron. He had found his voice again. The three were obviously in love. And who was he to judge them? He himself was in love with a boy. Admitted, a boy who hated his guts but...
„Something was missing between us and when Percy...“ here Bill stopped and looked at Percy for permission.
But Percy wasn’t looking at him. Just at the floor.
„When Percy what?“ asked Harry gently.
Even the twins seemed to be sad. What had happened?
