“Close, but no,” Charlie shook his head at his younger sister. His only sister. He wanted her to understand his orientation, more than anything. She had been asking lately when he would bring home a girlfriend - some of her friends had started developing crushes and she was curious. He couldn’t blame her.
Yesterday, she had asked whether he was going to bring home a boyfriend. “It’s okay if you do,” Ginny had told him in a gentle voice. “Everyone would be okay with it. My friend Sophie’s brother has a boyfriend.” She had seemed so proud of her revelation, and Charlie was proud of her too. He made sure to tell her that. How understanding and accepting she was had been utterly moving.
Today, Charlie had entered her room after dinner, when everyone was doing their own thing. Their mother had ordered them to check their belongings, make lists for what they needed ready for the new term. Judging by the small explosions he had heard, the twins had not taken the order seriously.
“I won’t be bringing anyone home, pumpkin,” Charlie smiled nervously at his little sister. “I just don’t love anyone that way.”
“But you still love your dragons, right?”
“Yes, I still love my dragons.”
“And you still love us?”
“Forever and always, pumpkin.”
