Andy's POV:

I walked up the student dormitories and stopped and Remingtons room. Snape was walking out.

"What are you doing?"

"I need to give this back to Remington. Left it in my room after class."

"Mr. Kropp is going to sleep early."

"Oh... I'll just give it to him and leave."

Snape hummed softly and walked past me. I walked into Remingtons room and saw him on the bed.

"Andy?"

I sighed and placed Remingtons notebook on the desk in his room. I walked over to him and got on my knees. I looked at him, face to face, before kissing him softly.

Remington pulls me closer as we kiss. I can’t help but slowly move on top of him while he wraps his arms around my neck. I slowly pull away and sigh. “You’re 14…I hope you know that this,” I gestured to the both of us, “Can’t happen until you’re 18.”

“Can’t we just sneak around? I turn 15 in a few days…”

“Remington, I don’t want to get into trouble.”

“Andy…Please.”

I was weak, I couldn’t say no. He was young, but I’m still young. I just turned 18. How much harm can it be? Wait, no, what am I thinking!? This is bad.

“No, Remington. We can talk, and I will take you out to hang out as friends. I will get to know you more, and the second you turn 18, I’ll ask you out. I promise.”

Remington seemed disappointed but nodded anyway. I lean down and kiss his forehead. “You’re not feeling well? You should sleep, if so.” I spoke softly as I climbed off the bed and sat at the edge.

“No…I’m fine. I just wanted to y’know, get through the day. I felt like…I don’t know, I just felt bad after the talk in your room…I just didn’t want the day to continue. I felt embarrassed, to say the least -”

“Remington, relax. I get it. It’s been a while since I’ve liked someone. I don’t normally do the whole,” I waved my hand around, “dating thing.”

Remington laughed softly and sat up. “Can’t we just…act like we’re dating, you said hang outs…but why not dates? You don’t have to kiss for things to be affectionate in a relationship.”

I sighed and looked at Remington. “No, not until you’re 18. I won’t say it again.” Remington crossed his hands over his chest and pouted. I then noticed that his chest wasn’t as flat as it was before. “Remington?” I knew I shouldn’t ask and pry, but I want to understand what’s going on.

“Yeah?”

I wave my hand over my chest and then point to him. He looked down and seemed to understand what I was talking about. “Oh…about that…I’m actually trans. Female to Male…that doesn’t change how you feel right..?”

I laugh softly and ruffle his hair. “Of course not. Why would it? You’re still a boy in my eyes.”

“I’m not a boy. I’m a man!”
“Sure thing, bud, get some sleep. I’ll send Draco or Blaise with food for you later. You also left your notebook in my class, it’s on your desk.”

Remington nods as a cat jumps on the bed and rubs into my arm. “Hmm…a cat.”

“Yes, what pet did you have when you were at Hogwarts?”

“Dog. Believe it or not, but they actually used to allow them. And then there was almost a horrible accident between a cat and dog so we couldn’t bring the dogs back after our Christmas break. Since only a few people owned dogs, they were replaced with rats or cats. Our choice. I, of course, chose a rat.”

Remington hummed as he started to get tired. I could see it in his eyes as he leaned against his bed frame.

“Lay down, bud.”

Remington hummed again and then nodded as he moved to lay down. I stay there for a few seconds before deciding to get up. Right as I pushed off the bed, I heard Remington mumble something. “Do you think I could play quidditch for Slytherin..?”

“Yeah? Why?”

“Just cuz…well, I haven’t played before, and I don’t know if I’m any good.”

“What do you want to play as?”

“Beater.”

“You’d make an amazing beater. Try out. I can't wait to see you get in and help your team get so many points. I’ll go to all your games, bring a little sign that says “Remington is the BEST beater in the world!” and I’ll let people know how proud of you I am.”

“People will assume you’re my boyfriend.”

“I can be a supportive teacher. It’s okay. Plus, I will be your boyfriend in like, 3 years.”

“My fifth year…you’re going to be 21…wont that be weird?”

“At least you’d be a legal adult. Plus, nothing changes. I can drink and smoke now if I wanted to.”

He laughs at me and nods as his eyes stay closed. “You should sleep with me.”

“What?”

“Sleep with me…”

Remington looked like he was going to grab me by the arm and yank me down if I didn’t say anything or get into his bed willingly.

“Okay…only until you fall asleep.”

He hums with a smile as he shifts over in bed and lets me get in. I lay down, and he curls into my side. I rub his back and slowly feel myself getting tired.

“I guess a small nap won’t hurt…” I mumble and hear Remington hum in agreement.

I ended up falling asleep and waking up a few hours later when someone walked into the room, sounding slightly annoying.

“Remington! You were supposed to eat dinner with me! Where have you…been.”

I noticed it was Draco. I sat up slowly and felt the cool air hit my chest. I looked down at Remington's head on my stomach with my shirt and vest pulled up against my chin. I lightly shake Remington awake as Draco stared at us in confusion.

“It’s not what it looks like, Draco.”

Draco nods as he watches Remington wake up and stretch his arms out, smacking me in the face. I grunt as I hold my nose with one hand and sit up the rest of the way, letting my clothes fall back into place.

“Your stomach…” Draco mumbled as he pointed.

“An incident that happened when I went to Hogwarts.”

He nods and watches Remington rub his eyes and sit up, leaning against me for my warmth. I rub his back as he wakes up more and notices Draco.

“Draco!”
