from The late Mr. Potter chapter 9

He recognized the streets from somewhere. Snow rested on the asphalt and sidewalks. Harry’s feet left deep prints behind. Every time he took a step, his foot sank deeper in the snow. So Harry walked, trying to outrun the snow rising.

Diagon Alley.

He stopped in front of Ollivander.

The shops were closed, the village was silent.

His reflection stared back at him.

He turned around at the sight of a body that wasn’t his.

“Professor?” Professor Dumbledore had been standing behind him, his hair and beard grey, he looked exactly the same as last time he saw him.

His lips were thin shut, his eyes stringing looked at him with calculation. “What, Harry?”

merlin: i really need to tell you this thing but if i do i know you’re gonna hate me-

arthur: i could never hate you.

merlin: you will! because this goes against everything you’ve ever believed of me and i don’t want to lose you, you’re one of my dearest friends. if you knew you wouldn’t ever want to talk to me and you’re the king it would put you in a difficult position where you’d have to make a choice.

arthur: i won’t. because i know, merlin.

merlin: *goes quiet and stares at arthur in disbelief*

arthur: i know what it is.

arthur: i’ve always known and it doesn’t change anything.

merlin: why didn’t you say anything?

arthur: i… wasn’t sure and honestly, i was kind of scared. because maybe… maybe it does change some things.

merlin: i’m still the same person i was ten seconds ago.

arthur: i know. but i am not… i’ve felt so alone since i found out. i get you, i get it. i was born that way too and there’s nothing that will ever change that.

merlin: it’s not your fault, arthur.

arthur: it’s not a bad thing either, it’s just who i am. it makes me different and knowing that i am not alone... knowing that there’s someone that gets it, that is like you, kind and pure of heart, makes me feel seen.

arthur: *kisses merlin*

merlin: *pulls away* i was trying to tell you i have magic!
