It would be a few days before it was actually Christmas, and the entire family, plus Neville, Hannah and their daughter Violet, plus Luna, Rolf - her husband- and their twin sons Lorcan and Lysander.

Hannah was a well practiced Healer, so she took great care of Albus - which was probably the reason he was allowed to go home by Madam Pomfrey - and he healed fast. After a day or two he could walk fine again and when Christmas Eve arrived he was almost back to normal. On medicins, but back to normal.

On Christmas Eve Grandma Weasley had prepared a huge dinner, and they were eating and chatting. Then Rose spoke.

"Mum? Could my boyfriend come over?" A sudden silence came over the table, as Ron always acted very strong about boyfriends to Rose.

"Who is it?" He asked, and Rose seemed to figure she had a problem.

"Chris. He's in our year, Gryffindor Chaser." She said, and everyone looked at Ron.

"Oh, come on Ron, he's probably a lovely boy. Do we need to get him? Is he coming with the Floo?" said Hermione, and Rose shook her head.

"His dad's probably bringing him by car. He said they're not connected to the Floo." She answered, as everyone returned to their food.

"Hey, dad? If she gets to bring her boyfriend, and Al has his girlfriend here, could mine come?" Asked Fred, and Albus looked at him.

"Quinn's already coming as my friend, Fred." He said, and Fred held his hands up in defence.

"Okay, any other people wishing to invite their date?" Asked Uncle Charlie, and Lily coughed.

"I'd like to bring mine." She said, and Albus dropped his fork.

"You are not bringing that filthy Slytherin. First of all, he's a Slytherin. Second of all, he's three years older than you!" He exclaimed, and Lily jerked her head in his direction.

"Okay you're not talking about Marc that way. I can date whoever I want. This is a free country. Oh and by the way, I saw you and Tyler. Tell me Albus, was it nice to throw your tongue in his throat?" She snapped, and Albus jumped up, and ran away to his room - pain roaring through his body.

He dropped himself on the bed, and took his head in his hands, crying. Then he heard a knock on the door.

"Al? Can I talk to you?" It was Felicia.

"Go away." Said Albus, sobbing.

"No, I want to talk to you, open the door."

"Leave me alone."

"Albus I'm not leaving before you explain yourself!" She exclaimed.

"He's not going to come out that way." Said a different voice, Albus' father.

"Go away!" Yelled Albus.

"Albus, she is your girlfriend, talk to her at least!"

"I'll talk to you later, go away!"

"He's not going to come 'round, let's just go." Said his father, and they left.

Albus cried. His entire family now thought he was gay and if he told them he kissed Tyler so Tyler could find out if he was gay or not Tyler would never be looked at the same way, and even if he wanted to find out Albus was the one that offered to kiss him. Though either way he wouldn't. Tired, sad and angry Albus fell asleep.

***

Albus woke up really early, and he decided the house probably still was asleep, so he got up and walked downstairs to the living room.

"Albus?" A voice asked sweetly, it was Luna.

"Hi Luna." Said Albus, as Luna sat down next to him.

"Are you alright?" she asked, and Albus shrugged. "You know, you do owe her an explanation. Your girlfriend."

"I'm not gay." said Albus.

"I believe you. But you did kiss a boy, didn't you?"

"I did. But- it's complicated."

"Of course it is, but you have to explain it. To her at least." said Luna, and Albus nodded.

"I will." he said, and he got up again.

"She's in the garden, she hadn't slept."

Albus sighed, and walked outside.

"Felicia?"

Felicia sat on a bench in the garden, and Albus walked her way, and sat next to her.

"So.. When you ran off he didn't have a bad reaction to cranberry Firewhiskey, but you went to kiss him." said Felicia, and Albus nodded.

"I can explain." Felicia rolled her eyes

"Sure. Explain why you suddenly kissed your best friend, who, incidentally, is a boy."

"I can! Listen, when I ran off, Tyler had ran off first, and he looked really distraught, so I followed him. He told me that whenever he kissed someone, Courtney, Cordelia, Nicole, he wouldn't feel anything. Like, when I kissed you, I felt fireworks and explosions and it was amazing. But Tyler said he didn't feel it and then I said he should kiss a boy, and he said that no one would want to help him out and I felt so bad for him, so I said I would, and then I kissed him. It wasn't like kissing you, it was- it was good, yeah, but it was not nearly as amazing as kissing you was. But it didn't stop because he said he didn't know for sure, and then I kissed him again. I couldn't tell you because no one was supposed to know Tyler's gay, and know practically half the school knows, cause hey, my family is really huge." said Albus, and he waited for Felicia to say something.

"So, you're not gay?"

"No. I only kissed him to help him." he said.

"But when I wanted to talk to you yesterday, why didn't you answer?" she asked.

"Because I felt like I had betrayed my best friend!"

"So Tyler is gay?" she asked, and Albus nodded. "And you're not?" she asked, and Albus nodded again. Then she smiled, and shifted closer, before leaning in and kissing him. He returned the kiss gladly.

After Merlin knows how long Albus broke off and smiled. "So we're good?" he asked, and Felicia nodded, before kissing him again.

Later that morning the entire house was awake, so Felicia and Albus decided they would go back into the house.

"Are you going to explain what you explained to me?" said Felicia, and Albus nodded, and he opened the back door - which led to the living room.

As soon as they entered everyone that was chatting inside went silent, looking at Albus. Then Lily spoke.

"Come to explain yourself?" she asked, and Ginny jumped up.

"Okay, Lily, that's enough. You're coming with me, right now."

"But we have to listen to his explanation!"

"No we don't. Your father will tell us later." Lily didn't object and followed her mother."

"Okay, Al. Tell them what you told me." said Felicia, and Albus nodded.

"About what Lily said yesterday, I did kiss Tyler. But it's not because I'm gay or in love with him. And I know that sounds weird because I kissed him, but that's besides the point. Tyler had ran off from the ball after he kissed Nicole because it didn't feel right, so I followed him. Well, I followed him because he ran off and I only later found out about him thinking it didn't feel right. Then he told me that, and I said he should kiss a boy, and he said no one would want to kiss a boy that didn't know for sure he's gay. So, I offered to do it. Then, I did. And then he said he didn't know for sure, so I kissed him again. I didn't tell you guys yesterday because Lily betrayed Tyler for me and I felt guilty. That's it." Albus said, and he wanted to run out of the room but Fred stopped him.

"I think we should go and open the presents now." he said, and Albus rolled his eyes.

"Fine. But I'm done with this subject."

He re entered the room and Lily and Ginny came in too, so they all got to open their presents.

Albus got a book, a lot of sweets, a Weasley Jumper, and some other things. But Albus couldn't enjoy it, as everyone was still looking at him. At some point, he had enough and he went outside. As soon as he got there, a car drove up front. From behind Albus Rose ran towards the car, and Chris and his father Mr McLaggen stepped out. He walked towards Mr McLaggen and showed him inside.

"So, Mr McLaggen, do you want a cup of coffee?"

"Please, call me Cormac. And, yes please!" he said, and Albus nodded.

They entered the living room, and Ron looked angrier than ever before.

"Rose? You're dating Chris McLaggen? I can not believe it. 'Mione! 'Mine! Come here!" he yelled, and Cormac looked at him.

"Yeah. I want to talk to Granger too." he said.

"She's not a Granger anymore. She's a Weasley now, so back. off."

"Dude, chill! Oh, Hi Weasley." said Cormac, as Hermione entered.

"McLaggen? What are you doing here?"

"Our children are dating now."

"Rose? You date a McLaggen?" asked Hermione, and Rose rolled her eyes. She took Chris' arm and they walked towards her room.

"Hermione, can I talk to you, alone?" said Cormac, and Hermione looked around the room.

"Sure, we'll go outside." she said, and Albus ran to his room to get the Cloak of Invisibility to follow them.

"I need your help. Listen, I've been divorced with Melanie for a while now and I have been through a lot, but the ministry is tracking me because I have illegal stuff. So when I found out Chris and Rose were dating I thought, maybe Hermione would want to help me." he said, and he walked towards a tree close by.

"Well, if it's really illegal, I can't really help you." said Hermione, as she walked towards him. Then he smirked, and looked up, as did Hermione. They were standing under a mistletoe.

Albus, who was watching, didn't really want to see his Aunt going to make out with the father of his cousin's boyfriend, but he couldn't look away.

"I am not going to kiss you, I'm married."

"You have to. I think, I think it's a magically enchanted one so you can't leave before you kiss me." he said, and Albus gasped, before clasping his hands over his mouth.

"You foul-"

"You still have to, come, I know you want to." he said, and he took Hermione by the waist. Albus couldn't bear it, so he threw off the Cloak.

"Don't you dare kiss her or I will hex you." he said, pointing his wand to Cormac.

"Albus go inside, I can handle this." said Hermione, but Albus didn't listen. Nor did Cormac, as he took Hermione stronger by her waist, and he leaned in.

"Petrificus Totalus!" yelled Albus, and Cormac stiffened.

"Albus what have you done! You're not allowed to use Magic outside school!"

"I don't care. He wanted to kiss you."

"ALBUS! DID YOU PETRIFY MY DAD? I'LL GET YOU!" exclaimed Chris from behind Albus, holding up his wand.

"Calm down, Chris, he didn't mean to." said Rose, as she lowered Chris' arms.

"Okay, everyone, go back inside, I will handle this." said Hermione, and everyone - really, everyone, they had heard the yelling - went back inside.

***

The rest of the day was glum. No one was in the mood for a party or some fun, and everyone locked themselves in their own rooms, as did Albus and Felicia. Albus was lying on his bed, as he still had to rest - after he had taken his medicine.

"It's okay, Al, he was trying to kiss your Aunt, who didn't want to." said Felicia, and Albus nodded.

"I guess. Can we talk about something else, please?" said Albus, and Felicia nodded, when the doorbell rung.

When Albus and Felicia arrived downstairs Fred had already opened the door and was now snogging Quinn, which made Albus really angry. Tyler stood there, a little awkward.

"Felicia, I have to go and talk to him, see you in a minute." whispered Albus, and he gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Tyler, let's go outside for a moment." said Albus, and he walked out, followed by Tyler.

They sat down on the little bench in the garden, and Albus explained about Lily, and how the entire family - plus Felicia, the Longbottoms and the Scamanders - now knew about him being gay. Tyler wasn't happy.

"Thanks. Your brother and Fred are going to tell the entire school and otherwise your sister will. You know, I've been thinking. When we were in Godrich's Hollow, Igor Karkaroff called me a faggot. He was right. Maybe it's really obvious, maybe I'm like obvious gay." he said, but Albus shook his head.

After a long talk about a lot of different stuff they went back inside, and Tyler got himself a mattress in Albus' room so he could sleep there, and they went to sleep.
