HP Sexualities
I’m experiencing the Harry Potter series for the first time since accepting my bisexuality. Now is the time for all the headcanons.
Gay:
Albus Dumbledore: He had a summer romance with Gellert Grindelwald, but his love was ultimately unrequited.
Fabian Prewett: Bill may have taken after his uncle in terms of piercings, but his earring was a typical statement of rebellion & not an unconventional sign of commitment.
Seamus Finnigan: Youthful crush on ‘pretty boy’ Diggory aside, Seamus only ever really had eyes for Dean.
Justin Finch-Fletchley: Gilderoy Lockheart was his first crush, but certainly not his last.
Albus Potter: He takes after his namesake. In hindsight he had a huge crush on Goncalo Flores of the Brazilian Quidditch team. Scorpius Malfoy is his soulmate.
Lesbian:
Professor Hooch: She played for the other team. Literally.
Professor Grubby Plank: She wrote an award-winning essay on the homosexual tendencies of unicorns, which Rolanda found fascinating.
Gwenog Jones: The manager of the Welsh National team proposed to her long-time girlfriend on the pitch, after securing a place in the 2014 QWC. Thankfully, unlike her beloved grandmother Gwendolyn, Vilami Moran responded with affection rather than broomstick-based assault.
Bisexual:
Harry Potter: The bi who lived. Need I say more?
Dean Thomas: While the Patil sisters were indeed the best looking girls in school, Seamus really was in a category of his own. The pair were wed in Ireland in 2015 after the marriage equality referendum was passed.
Cho Chang: Attraction aside, she knew she would never love another man like she loved Cedric. Her fling with Marietta was as eye-opening as it was short-lived. Eventually, escape to the Muggle world allowed her to make room in her heart for a wonderful woman.
Marietta Edgecombe: The ravenclaw’s feelings for Cho were mixed in with guilt and fear of being found out, as well as Cho’s grief. As such, they were doomed from the beginning. Though she never had much luck with her mother, Marietta has always been honest with her husband Zacharias. He understands the complexity of love & loyalty.
Cedric Diggory: He had admirers among both sexes while at school & dated accordingly.
Viktor Krum: The former triwizard champion found love back in Bulgaria. His partner, Lev Zagrof certainly is a keeper.
Bill Weasley: Veela charm has a more measured effect on the curse-breaker, because he can see the beauty in both sexes. What happens in Egypt stays in Egypt.
Remus Lupin: Lycanthropy wasn’t the only reason the Gryffindor faced stigma. He dated girls throughout school, only realising the fullness of his feelings for Padfoot as they fought for their lives for the first time shortly after leaving Hogwarts. What followed was They had 4 yrs but they deserved forever. Moony was heartbroken upon Sirius’ arrest. But with the help of Tonks he found happiness again, learning that there is no limit to love.
Sirius Black: He did indeed get all the girls, at least the ones he wanted. Padfoot was very fond of Marlene McKinnon, but he could not ignore the emotional connection or the sexual chemistry he had with Lupin. The pair may have argued like an old an old, married couple but they never became one. Sirius came out of Azkaban a changed man. During the war,he was in no position to be in a relationship, but the pair remained incredibly close until Sirius’ death.
Kingsley Shacklebolt: Dumbledore wasn’t the only one with style. The Minister of Magic wore his gold hoop in memory of a lover long gone, but this did not stop him building a bright future with Andromeda Tonks.
Professor Sprout: Having been in a relationship with Filius was no reason to deny a perfectly natural attraction to both sexes.
Professor Flitwick: His height wasn’t the only reason he learned to duel.
Scorpius Malfoy: In the end, the Slytherin didn’t have to choose between red-haired witches and green eyed boys. He was welcomed into the Weasley family, best friend on one arm, boyfriend on the other.Rose made a wonderful maid of honour when the time came.
Pansexual:
Nymphadora Tonks: The open-minded metamorphagus accepted that gender, like colour was on a spectrum. For her, the concept of attraction was fluid and ever-changing.
Teddy Lupin: He takes after his Mum in more ways than one.
Asexual:
Charlie Weasley: Who needs dates when you can have dragons??
