[HPforGrownups] Ron and Harry!!

It's just an alternative universe, the same as almost any well-written fanfic -
a fanfic is by definition something which is *not yet canon* or *may never be
canon* and because of that, one can create attributes for the characters which
never exist in the books' universe, or create brand new characters (like Simon
Branford, Vampire).
Making a character or two gay, or bi, is no more or less a departure from canon
as, say, making Draco Malfoy into a sweetheart who falls in love with American
transfer students.
