Luna’s Dad knew Michael’s father, so when they returned to England after decades, she invited them to a party. Michael and Dzmitry arrived halfway through the evening, the only guests Harry didn’t recognize.
Michael embodied tall, dark, and handsome.
Clearly gay.
Terrifying.
Having grown up mostly in Guyana and Belarus, Michael knew nothing about Harry. When he found out, weeks after the first time he asked Harry on a date (and got rejected), Michael was impressed, but Harry knew the attraction wasn’t about “heroics.” Michael was genuinely attracted to him: as a man, a person, and (potentially) a sexual being.

Harry hadn’t felt like a “sexual being” since some time during his first year of teaching. He turned Michael’s invitation down out of reflex. Harry Potter simply did not date. Harry Potter taught. Raised his children. Supported Ginny and Luna and was supported by them in return. Was a dedicated friend to Andromeda Tonks and deeply involved godfather to Teddy Lupin.
So, he did not date. He did not have sex, either, for that matter. He was, obviously, too busy. And he didn’t need that. And it was just too painful anyway. Things like dating offered only opportunities for mistakes.

Michael just kept coming round, though. Luna invited him over for summer picnics and swimming hole parties. Ginny started inviting him over, too. Then Arthur took a liking to Dzmitry and started inviting him to things, to which he often brought Michael.
And Michael… grew on Harry.
He was kind, first of all.
He was good with children.
He was intelligent.
He was well-spoken. Knew multiple languages, too.
Harry thought about a lithe, blond teenager who’d lit up his body and tore up his heart, and kept his distance.
Then, the unthinkable happened.
Harry ran into Draco at the bank.

So yeah I still kind of hope for a HEA for my OTP
