Summary:

Harry catches wise to a series of blind items in the Daily Prophet's gossip pages that sound suspiciously like him. Except no one knows that he's gay, do they?

Author's note:

Written for Team Epilogue during HD Worldcup 2008, using the Tarot card prompt The Magician.

This is obviously epilogue compliant, but contains no Ginny bashing. There is mild infidelity. And lots of super embarrassing comedic hijinks. Poor Teddy. :)

Blind Items for 10th June, 2020

"Which war hero is trapped in a loveless marriage and finds his eye wandering elsewhere? Not a new story, I realise, until you consider the fact that they are most frequently wandering in the direction of other men..."

The paper dropped from Harry's sweaty hands as if on fire. One corner fell into his coffee cup and he watched, numb, as the newsprint drifted off in a murky swirl of grey, brown and white.
How could he know? How could anyone...

No, Harry stopped himself. It was ridiculous. It was a stupid blind gossip item in the Daily bloody Prophet, and it's not like it was actually about him.
