Chapter Text
Lance was scrolling through his dash when he saw it, his destiny.
Ravenclawprincess: Hi everyone! Allura here. I’ve decided to make a group chat for LGBTQ fans of Harry Potter. I’ve wanted to connect with people, especially after dealing with the loss of my father. All you need to do is like this post, follow me, and fill out the survey I linked below. I’m not sure how this will work out but I’m very excited to meet new people.
Lance knew this was something he had to do. Ever since he left Cuba for the exchange program he had been feeling very lonely. Sure, the U.S. was pretty cool and he had friends, it was just that the tiny Arizona town he got put in wasn’t very friendly to LGBTQ people. Also, most kids at his school hadn’t read Harry Potter or anything else that wasn’t requred for a class.
The cuban teen reblogged the post, followed the op and filled out the survey. Hopefully he would be picked for the chat.
About 3 weeks had passed since Lance first saw the post and in that time he’d reread the whole Harry Potter series, gotten a black eye from a homophobic asshole that didn’t understand what bisexual was, and got a D on an English paper. He needed a win. So when he opened tumblr and saw a message from ravenclawprincess, his heart jumped out of his chest.
Hi Lance! My name is Allura. A few weeks ago I posted about starting up a group chat for LGBTQ Harry Potter fans. You seemed very enthusiastic about participating so I chose you along with four others. Here’s a link to the server. I’m very excited to become your friend.
Lance quickly added the server, HarryPotterLGBTQ. He read the names of the other members. Hunky, enragedhomosexual, allurathegreat, pidgeeeeeee, shiro.
