I really want people to understand that there is a difference between being attracted to someone sexually and being attracted to them because they make you feel like having fun or because you share the same interests. There is a HUGE difference. Why do people feel like they have to “come out” and prove something to people? It’s ok to have friends, great even, but just because someone is a best friend it doesn’t mean that they are gay or in a relationship.

For instance, my old headmaster was gay. But in those days, it was more of a hidden thing, even within the wizarding community. I think you all know that he was friends with Gellert Grindelwald. This does NOT mean however that the two were anything more than friends and shared anything more than an interest in obtaining the Deathly Hallows.

My friends Harry and Ron were best friends from the day they met on the train to Hogwarts. So too, were Lee Jordan and the Weasley twins. This isn’t of course just for boys there are the girls too. Cho and Marietta were best friends and these are only the ones in my years.

The only reason I put this is because there is so much at the moment, with fan fictions, and I just don’t think you understand what it all means. To take a modern example, people put Scorpius and Albus together. I’m not saying that they are or they aren’t, because we (their families) would love them no matter what but I think you should think first.

Why can’t people just be friends?
