A/N: Well this is the sequel to living beyond the pain. It is a re-write to one I had deleted, I re-read it and did not like it and decided to go in a different direction and make it longer. Please read and review thank you. I put the character under Harry, but the main person is Theo Nott. Others in this is, Hermione, Marcus. Harry,Draco and Blaise.

Summary: six months after the disappearance of Harry, Theo found him self living in Muggle London with their son Xavier. Is Harry really dead or is he alive somewhere? This is a slash story so if you do not like do not read. Rated M for a reason.

Chapter 1:

Crying could be heard though out the small house tucked away on a dead end street in Muggle London. The father of the owner of the crying was slowing rocking the boy back and forth in his arms, trying to calm him down. Slowly the baby's eyes started to drift closed, the father sighing in relief.

"Xavier, son. Shhh. Your alright. I love you." Theo looked down as his son's blue eyes drifted completely closed and he gently laid him down in his crib. He brushed the dirty blond hair of his forehead and leaned down to his give him a soft kiss. Theo turned the light off before he walked down to the living room of his new home and plopped down on his chair, before he started to cry.

He always held himself together during the day, trying his hardest not to think of his love. He never left the house, unless it was to go to the store or bring his son to the doctors. The only two friends he had were always trying to drag him out places, saying he needed to move on. How could he move on when he wasn't even sure if his love was dead. He missed him so much, and he didn't know how he could raise their son alone.

After the battle at the school, the seventh years were able to take their OWLs and graduate early, he had to take his separate since he had been in a coma for the four months after the battle. He had heard that Draco was set free and had been able to take his OWLs as well, he didn't understand how someone that let the Death Eaters into the school could be set free.

The Headmaster had told him that Draco was forced to let the Death Eaters in on force of a threat to someone he had loved. He thought that the Headmaster had erased Draco's memories of his time with Harry, but he didn't understand why a threat to the only person Theo knew Draco ever loved, Harry, would cause him to do something so evil. Since he shouldn't have remembered that love in the first place.

He was taken out of his thoughts when he heard a knocking on his door and quickly wondered who it was. He slowly opened it up and found himself arms full of Hermione.

"Well Hello to you to Granger." He laughed as she pulled away. "Marcus" He nodded as he saw his friend walking in behind her. He was happy that they were still together after everything that happened. He still remembered the damn bet that Draco, Marcus and Adrian had going on and couldn't believe how understanding Hermione had been, but glad they had each other.

"Theo we are dragging you out of this house." Hermione said as she looked at him.

"No I am not going anywhere. Xavier is up sleeping and I need to be with him." He stated as he sat back down.

"I have a babysitter heading over now, so we have time for you to get ready. We are taking you out dancing and I don't care if you don't like it." Theo looked up at Marcus for some kind of help, but only saw his friend smirking at him, while shacking his head.

"You know I can't do anything when she gets like this mate." Marcus laughed at Theo's face.

"Fine who is this babysitter you have for my son?"

"My mother, she will be here in a little while so let's get you ready." She said as she dragged Theo up to his room to get ready. As they were still getting ready they heard a knock on the door and Marcus talking to someone down stairs. Theo froze not knowing who it was and saw Hermione listening.

"It's my mother, everything is fine." She reassured him with a smile.

Once they were done Hermione couldn't stop smiling at him. He took a look in the mirror and couldn't believe what he saw. Lately he really stopped taking care of his appearance not worrying about anyone having to see him. His usually messy hair now had gel in it making it spike up on top. His usually raggy clothes were now replaced with a long sleeve black shirt, covered with a short sleeve white shirt with flames. His baggy sweats were now replaced with tight black pants with a chain belt hanging down the side of his leg. Hermione had placed three spike hoop earrings in his ear with magic, since his ears were not normally pierced.

"You look great Theo. Really. If you were straight and I was not with Marcus, I would definitely go for you." She laughed as he blushed.

"Thanks I guess. So where are you dragging me to anyway?"

"You'll see, now lets go free Marcus from my mother before he kills me."

They made their way downstairs and Theo saw Marcus' mouth hang open once he saw Theo. The woman standing next to him he figured was Hermione's mother and she looked nice enough for him to leave his son with for the evening.

"Hello, you must be Mrs. Granger? Pleasure to meet you and thank you for babysitting for me." Theo said as he reached his hand out to shake hers. She smiled and shook his out stretched hand.

"My pleasure, Theo? Hermione has told me how much you need a night out. Being a single dad must be so hard. Any special things I should need to know before you head out."

"No. Xavier is a heavy sleeper once I can get him down, he should sleep all night. I don't really know what time I'll be back, they haven't let me know what we are doing."

"Mom if he is not back tonight I will be here in the morning to relieve you." Hermione smiled to her mother before grabbing the boys and running out of the door. She had already informed her mother where all of Xavier's things were when she needed them, so they could leave as fast as possible.

Theo found himself standing in front of a nightclub he had never heard of and cringed at the loud music coming from the building, and the bright neon lights out side. Their was a line going all the way around the building and he was wondering how the hell they were going to get in there.

"Come on let's go." Hermione said.

"But the line is so long, can we just go." Theo wined.

"No we can go right in." Marcus replied laughing at Theo's shocked and slightly frightened face.

"How?"

"I know the owner, our names are at the door." Marcus stated as they walked up to the bouncer. Theo listened as he gave their names to the big guy standing there and walked behind his friends as they entered the building. He followed them to a table next to the bar and slowly scanned the room, notching that most of the people here were men.

"Are we at a gay club?"

"Yes Theo we are." Hermione smiled at him, reaching out and squeezing his hand.

"What friend do you know Marcus that owns this place?" He asked. Trying to figure out who his friend knew that would invest in such an establishment.

"An old friend." Was all he would get out of the other man.

"Well Marcus lets go dance." Hermione said as she grabbed Marcus' hand, dragging him to the dance floor. Theo found himself alone real fast and he didn't like it. He had a feeling that these two had something up their sleeves and he suddenly became nervous.

He felt the table move slightly under his arm and he looked to his side, seeing a drink having been placed there. Not remembering ordering anything he went to tell who ever it was that he didn't want it. When he looked up his heart stopped and he stood up so fast the chair he was sitting on scraped the floor behind him.

"Draco, what, how?" He tried getting out before he felt like he was going to be sick.
