Mirror Of Erised

"Another boring year in Hogwarts," a boy says to his other friend. That boy is none other than Pete Wentz and he is talking to his good friend, Joseph Trohman - Joe for short. 

"Yeah, well it's sixth year, and you're the Quidditch Gryffindor Captain this year man!" Joe answers, hoping to give his friend a boost. Pete just groans. 

"I know but I want to find something cool this year, Joe, not just have girls swoon over your every fucking word!"

"Yeah, but- oh look this one's empty!" Joe says, opening a compartment door. He sits down and puts his bags on the rail. 

"As I was saying...hey, wonder when the trolley's comin'!" He gets up and follows the woman's voice calling the trolley's existence.

Pete just rolls his eyes. Joe has the attention-span of a...let's just say it's not very good. Five minutes to be exact.

"Buy me a pumpkin pastie," Pete calls after him.

After no return of the Trohman, someone knocks on the compartment door. Before Pete can respond, an angel enters. 

Wait. What? 

Pete rubs his eyes and sees it's not an angel, its a- a...whatever, the thing is cute anyways.

"Is this one full?" The angel/cute thing asks. Pete just gapes at him, trying real hard to keep his mouth closed. He just shakes his head quickly. 

"Thanks. My name's Patrick and this is Andy. We're Ravenclaw," Patrick says. 

"Pete," Pete answers, trying to sound casual. He never really had a boy make him feel this way.  He may be bi or something but he was more into girls than boys.

"I'm in Gryffindor, and my friend Joe should be here shortly." As if on cue, Joe enters the compartment. 

"Yeah, Pete I got you a pumpkin pastie and I got me a box of Bertie Box beans and guess who's - didn't know we had visitors." Joe turns slightly, slightly pink. No one really notices. 

He waves at Patrick and Andy, who gives Joe a smile warm enough to make Joe gape at him. 

Joe is totally gay. But not flamboyantly gay like William Beckett from Hufflepuff.

"My name's Joe." Joe holds his hand out eagerly to Andy. Andy takes it and it's almost like Joe would've melted right there. Pete would not be there to clean it up.

Pete decides to talk with Patrick/Angel. "So what year are you in?" He leans forward, his way of telling someone he's interested in their answer.

"6th year. You?" 

"6th too. I'm captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team." He's trying to impress Patrick and Patrick is impressed but he's not gushing like any girl or boy would.

Pete and Patrick actually end up having a conversation for hours - well minutes but it feels that way to Pete.

During the conversation, Pete glances towards Joe and Andy, who are their own conversation. Joe is leaning towards Andy suggestively and Andy is leaning just as close, looking at Joe with such interest.

Patrick sees Pete looking and leans closer to whisper, "Is your friend gay?" Pete is taken aback but answers anyways.

"Why do you ask?" he answers calmly. What if Patrick's gay and likes Joe? Pete notes if that's true he will give Joe boils first day of Hogwarts.

"My friend Andy's gay and he may like your friend. I don't want him heartbroken or anything," he replies, sounding just as calm as Pete.

"He is. He might like your friend too," Pete says in relief and turns towards Patrick to take him in. He's wearing a hat, with a Hogwarts monkey on it. Cute. He also looks very normal but then again, he's not wearing his robes yet. And neither is he

"I think we better change," Pete says loudly enough for Joe and Andy to hear. They look up and indicate their changed robes before going back to their conversation. Joe offers a toffee bean and Andy takes it, saying he loves toffee. He thanks Joe sweetly and Joe looks over at Pete. He raises his eyebrows twice, signaling he's in motion.

Whore. Pete thought, rolling his eyes and laughing inside.
+++++++++++++++++++++

"Welcome back to Hogwarts. I hope we will be comfortable with this year," The headmaster declares. Pete and Joe aren't listening; instead, they're looking for Patrick and Andy. 

When Andy sees Joe, he waves enthusiastically. Joe tries to give those cool hot waves - wave half way and raise your eyebrows while leaning back. Well, Joe leanes back too far and almost falls back. The Gryffindor table snickers. Andy giggles but gives Joe a hopeful look.

When Pete catches Patrick's eye, he actually succeeds in the hot wave and receives a big ol' blush from Patrick. Score! And he waves, sort of ducking his head.

Pete nudges Joe. "You may have a chance with Andy, he's gay," Before Joe can say "Really?!" Pete leans into him and whispers, "And I sooo have Patrick in the palm of my hand."

Joe just rolls his eyes, "So you say."
+++++++++++++++

As Pete and Joe sit in the dormitory looking over their schedules, Pete squeals.

"What the fuck Wentz?" Joe says, waving his wand to make his beans float around. Obviously, he's still thinking of Andy. 

"When I tell you, you'll be squealing too! We have three classes with Ravenclaw!" Pete answers. Joe does squeal and grabs the schedule but then turns to a frown.

"What?" Pete questions, eyebrows arched.

"1 class with Slytherin." he says glumly. Pete shrugs his shoulders.

"So? Fuck Slytherin."

"Yeah, but two classes with Hufflepuff means William Beckett, Mikey Way, Brendon Urie, and Ryan Ross. They annoy the heck out of me!" Joe says angrily. Anyone would be angry too, if they spent the last 5 years with those four. 

William Beckett: Flamboyantly gay and totally sick. 

Mikey Way: May be cute, but has a brother in Slytherin who he cherishes to death. 

Brendon Urie: Also gay and a total man whore. 

Ryan Ross: Insert Brendon's description.

"Ah, fuck it. I'm going to bed." Joe says, walking to his bed.
++++++++++++++++++++

"Hey, Trick, 3 classes with Gryffindor!" Andy says excitedly. But leave it to Patrick to ruin a parade.

"Yeah but one class with Slytherin and 2 classes with Hufflepuff. And you know what that means Andy. People weirder than you and me."

"Ugh." Andy says, annoyed, and throws the schedule in the fire. Bad idea. He takes out his wand and reaches to retrieve it. 

"At least, you have three classes with your boyfriend!" Patrick teases. Andy flushes red.

"Shuddup, you do too!" Andy shoots back. That shuts Patrick up and Andy hears a muffled

"Hesnotmyboyfriendyoudick."

Patrick is bi too, and has a stronger attraction to guys than girls, and is questioning his sexuality. Hogwarts isn't how it used to be around 40 years ago, when Harry Potter was here. Thank goodness.

"Yeah, we both see the way we look at them so let's both shut up," Andy says calmly and Patrick nods, "I'm going to bed. Potions tomorrow, and I need to sleep. You better come up here also." Andy gets up and goes to bed. Patrick follows Andy. Yeah, he does need the sleep.
