These are just some extras that I felt didn't really fit in the original series, but were nice to write :)

Theodore's chest was burning, his entire body felt like it would explode at any moment. Spells were shooting off from his wand, small releases to the anger, the pain, the pure hatred rushing through his veins. He caught sight of him, the source of his loss of control, and he dashed towards him, but he was grabbed by hands trying to pull him back. Wrenching from the grip, he spun around, a small hope flickering through his mind, but all his hope turned to black gloomy disgust at what he saw.

His father stood there, hood torn off. He looked weaker than Theodore had ever remembered him. The skin on his face was thin and saggy and the bones were well-defined. His body was hunched over and he was craning his neck to look up at Theodore.

Theo's wand rose up as mixtures of loathing, of past wounds reopening, of wanting the whole world to catch on fire and burn rushed through his veins. This wasn't his father. This had never been his father...

"Stupefy!"

The spell came out of nowhere, grazing Theodore's wand arm, and his arm swung around painfully and he fell onto the ground hard. The pulse of the Stunner dominated all other feelings for several seconds as it conquered his arm and left him dazed. Then he was yanking himself to his feet, spinning around with his wand raised.

Finally, he spotted the culprit.

Sirius Black was in a tight duel with Theo's father, taunting him and quite amused he'd hit Theodore. Maximilian on the other hand looked furious and clearly aiming to kill. Theodore rushed forward, but paused as Black's words started to sink in.

"You think just because you killed Potter that we're going to give up? He was just another boy! What does it matter he's dead? We're strong without him! He's not done anything to help us in this whole ordeal! We've helped ourselves! We've always helped ourselves!"

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"

The spell had loosed from his wand before he could even think otherwise and it hit Sirius Black square in the chest. He looked stunned, but he was staring at Maximilian, completely unaware who had done it, as he collapsed against the wall.

Nott Sr. turned, seeming ready to congratulate, but Theodore quickly bound and gagged him, dragging him to the wall beside Black and pointing his wand at him.

"Obliviate."

No one could know.

His chest felt tight and he could barely breath as he turned around, once more looking for Voldemort.

No one could know.

As long as no one saw, as long as no one knew, as long as he kept it secret...

But what did it matter if he kept it secret or not? As soon as he killed Voldemort, he planned to die himself. It was the only sure way to cease the pain trying to rip his heart in two.

There were gasps and screams and cheers that went round and Theodore turned to see what had happened and he froze. The world was buzzing. Numbness had spread up his limbs. Sparks of excitement lit through his gut, up into his eyes, and tears began to run down his cheeks without thought to stop them.

Harry was alive.

It was like being reborn, seeing that Harry was all right. The whole world flipped over and righted itself. The agony flooded out of him in a rush and good feelings crashed down into him to fill the space left empty and it was all he could do to remain standing. He didn't hear a word that was being exchanged between Voldemort and Harry. He didn't need to. Even when Voldemort raised his wand to kill, he didn't feel an ounce of fear because he knew, somehow, it was going to be okay. He wasn't the first to get to Harry, but he made sure he got to him one way or another and if this meant shoving everyone else out of the way then so be it. They knew better than to get in the way anyways.

He held onto Harry, not wanting to let go. Not wanting to think or speak or anything because he was sure nothing could convey how sad he had been and how glad he was now and how madly and crazily in love he was with Harry. After a couple moments, he realized he was talking anyways and he wasn't even sure any of it made sense. Harry's tight grip and whispered words in return told him his boyfriend understood anyways and that was all Theodore wanted.

As long as Harry understood, as long as he returned Theo's feelings, as long as he was alive, the world was right.


Theo stood in the Great Hall staring down at Sirius Black and his Obliviated father. Glancing around, he saw no glares, no "I know what you did" looks...only pity rang from every person's features.

"I'll help you."

Lupin was suddenly there and he conjured up a sheet. Together they wrapped Sirius up and then moved him to the row of bodies awaiting burial. After writing a quick message indicating who it was, they walked back to Mr. Nott.

"What happened to him?" Lupin asked as they helped the old man stand.

"Think it was an Obliviate." Theodore whispered.

"Really?"

They set him down amongst the other prisoners and then they parted ways, Theodore aiming for Harry.

"I'm sorry about your father." Harry whispered as Theodore wrapped his arms around him.

"Is fine." Theo muttered. "Was going to end this way for him anyways."

Harry closed his eyes and nuzzled his boyfriend's chest.

"Sorry about your...godfather..."

"Lupin is fine." Harry stated sternly.

Theo cleared his throat. "Then Black?"

"I only feel bad for his son." Harry told him. "Other than that...I hate to admit it, but I really don't feel even a tiny bit sad for him...it's horrible though for me to think like that..."

"Is fine." Theodore gave him a squeeze. "I understand..."

An urge upon his tongue told him to tell Harry the truth about Sirius, but a thought pierced his mind telling him that as long as no one knew he was safe...

He had Harry look at him and he leaned down to kiss him. "I love you."

Harry grinned almost foolishly as he replied, "I love you too."

Harry would never know how much that made Theodore's heart leap nor how ridiculously happy he felt as he leaned down to kiss the shorter Slytherin once more.

"Never die again..."

"Not for a long time." Harry promised.

Theodore smiled. "Good enough."

Redemption could come later.

Well, that was a surprise, even for me :) Hope you enjoyed!
