"Well you boys were in the middle of an important conversation. I'd hate for you not to finish that." Harry said
Theo and Seamus exchanged a look and Theo said. "We can finish that conversation tomorrow. I can walk Draco to the dorm and Seamus can walk back with you."

"Theo I don't need an escort." Draco complained
"It would make me feel a bit better." Harry shrugged ignoring Draco
"Alright then. Back up to the tower we go." Seamus smiled

"I'll talk to you tomorrow Draco." Harry said as Seamus started up the stairs.

Draco nodded "be careful of your temper."

Harry smiled "I'll do my best."
With that the boys went their separate ways. Theo and Draco heading farther down into the castle and Harry and Seamus heading further up into the castle.
"Do you think people will let us alone anytime soon?" Seamus said
"Gay men? Hard to say.  I think people will be more used to it soon enough though." Harry said
"I hope so. I hate that you and Draco are having such a hard time. Especially since it's mostly because his father is  a bigoted bully." Seamus sighed

"Lucius is a pig. He'd do anything for power. Look Seamus I'm glad you've got my back but right now you need someone to have yours. You know that Theo's family accepts you two. But the media is what you're so worried about. The things they can say hurt. I won't believe whatever they write unless you say any of it is true." Harry told him

"Thanks. I'm sorry I believed all the bull they wrote fourth year after Sirius got his name cleared." Seamus turned a light shade of pink.

"Don't worry about it. That's all in the past. I just want you to know it's not you and Theo against the world. You have friends who will support you." Harry said

"You're a great friend Harry you really are." Seamus beamed

Harry smiled. "I'm just doing what any good friend would"
