A/N: Thanks to Ryan (VacantSkies at Perfect Imagination) for beta-ing! You rock!

This is a bunch of drabbles/short one-shots, all inspired around the song "Affirmation" by Savage Garden. It's a brilliant song full of good messages - so listen to it if you haven't heard it already! Haha. Enjoy and review. ;)


I believe the sun should never set upon an argument

"Why do you have to bend to her every whim? Why don't you ever stand up for yourself, damn it?! You're supposed to be strong! A Slytherin! You shouldn't need to depend on anyone, and yet she, she… she has this weird control over you!"

"She's my mother, Theodore, and I have to love and honour her as long as we are both alive. If you can't understand that - if you're too jealous - then you might as well just leave right now."

A door slams, feet drag, two boys slide down the wall on opposite sides, both sobbing.

Theo stared out at the setting sun, a strange mix of feelings settling in his stomach. He felt guilty and sad, but still slightly angry at what Blaise had said. As the sun started to slowly dip behind the expanse of trees dotting the horizon, Theo made up his mind. He turned on the spot and disappeared with a sharp crack!Pushing open the door of Blaise's – their – room, Theo spotted Blaise lying in the bed, curled up tightly. Theo made his way over and slid in next to Blaise, who mumbled something incoherently and rolled over to snuggle into this new arrival.

"I'm sorry," Theo whispered, wrapping one arm tightly around his lover and closing his eyes - just as the sun went down and cast darkness over all.
