Chapter Five:
Theo's head was spinning, his thoughts jumbled and confused. He was Blaise's soul mate? Blaise was joking, right? It had to be a dream, he could never be so lucky as to be Blaise's soul mate. But wouldn't it explain how Blaise had been acting? Why he was so confused by his dreams and why he had been shocked when Theo called him 'Aise'. If he had been as loving in Blaise's dream as Blaise implied then he would most likely have called him by his nickname.
Theo was pulled away from his thoughts by Blaise getting out of the bed and putting on his boxers.
"I'm sorry… I shouldn't have said anything…" Blaise says softly as he turns away.
"No, Blaise, don't be sorry… I don't mean to seem upset by this; I'm just a bit surprised," Theo says hurriedly as he tries to make Blaise smile again. He doesn't want to see his, and yes he can actually call him his now, Blaise upset.
Theo pulls Blaise back into the bed with him, hugging the boy tightly. Never in his life would he have thought that he could actually be with Blaise, but this truly was happening.
"Theo?" Blaise asks worriedly, he seems confused by the way Theo was acting.
"I'm… I'm really happy," Theo murmurs against Blaise's shoulder. Blaise smiles at this and presses closer to Theo.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner… I was just scared about how you would react," Blaise apologizes again as he rests his head against Theo's chest. "At first I was confused and I didn't recognize who was in my dreams, but then when I realized who you were and I was worried you'd hate me and that you wouldn't stay with me…"
"I could never hate you, Aise. I'm going to stay with you forever, okay?" Theo murmurs quietly as Blaise nods and leans up to kiss Theo. Just before their lips meet the door bursts open and a hung over Draco walks into the room.
"My fucking head hurts! Where are the -," Draco stops as he sees his two friends naked on Theo's bed. "Huh, finally," he mutters before grabbing a potion that will numb a hangover before leaving the room. Theo and Blaise both blush scarlet, embarrassed to be caught naked like that.
"M-Maybe we should get dressed," Blaise stammers and Theo nods in agreement.
"At least we don't have classes today, we slept in quite a bit," Theo says with a grin before getting up and grabbing a pair of boxers, black pants, and a white button up shirt. Blaise gets up, flinching slightly, and grabs some clothes as well. He then heads to the bathroom to shower, placing his clothes on the counter by the sink.
A few minutes later Theo heads into the bathroom as well, placing his own clothes by Blaise's and getting into the shower with Blaise.
"Th-Theo!" Blaise exclaims as his face goes crimson. "You scared me!"
"Sorry, Aise," Theo says and gives Blaise a quick peck on the lips. "I just figured we shouldn't waste so much water by taking two showers," he adds before winking.
"Pervert," Blaise mutters but smiles anyways. He likes Theo's perverted side and doesn't mind showering with him. Theo just smiles and hugs Blaise tightly before starting to clean his body and hair.
Once the two were done showering they dried off and got dressed before heading out of the Slytherin House and towards the Great Hall for breakfast.
Draco and Pansy were both already sitting at the Slytherin table eating when Blaise and Theo got there.
"Hey, I heard you two are together finally," Pansy says as she grins. "Does that mean Theo is your soul mate?"
"Y-Yeah," Blaise stammers and blushes. Theo smiles gently as he wraps an arm around Blaise's waist before sitting down beside Draco and Blaise sitting down on his other side.
"Well I figured you guys would end up fucking one day, whether you guys were soul mates or not," Pansy says with a shrug which causes both of the boys to blush.
"You shouldn't say things so bluntly," Theo mutters as he starts eating some pancakes and bacon. Blaise, Draco, and Pansy also start eating. The four joke around as normal for the rest of breakfast, all of them a bit happier now that Blaise and Theo were together.
Suddenly Professor Snape walks over to them. "Headmaster Dumbledor would like to see you in his office as soon as you are done eating, Mr. Nott," the professor says before heading back over to where the teachers eat.
"What do you think that's about?" Blaise asks curiously.
"I'm not sure, but it is probably nothing," Theo says and kisses Blaise's forehead. "I should go now, he won't want to be kept waiting, but I'll tell you all about it when I get back. Promise."
Blaise watches as Theo heads out of the Great Hall and around the corner. "I wonder what Dumbledork wants with him," Pansy mutters before starting to eat some more.

Soon Theo was inside Dumbledor's office, sitting on a chair and staring at the headmaster who was sucking on a lemon drop.
"Theodore, your parents have called you home for a special occasion and I was told to tell you to go pack your things and head home immediately," Dumbledor says as he clasps his hands together on top of his desk.
"What, called home? Why? What special occasion, I don't remember any special occasion around this date," Theo says in shock as he watches the headmaster in confusion.
"Maybe this letter will help," Dumbledor says as he slides a white envelope towards the Slytherin. Theo slowly takes the envelope and delicately opens it up. A folded letter is inside and Theo opens it curiously. His mother's elegant script covers the page.
Dearest Theodore,
I am calling you home for a very special party to celebrate a very important decision. Your step-father and I have decided that it is time for you to choose a bride suitable to produce an heir that will succeed the family name after yourself.
Please pack up a few belongings that you will need for the next week and floo home right away. You will begin meeting girls that I have decided are pure enough and intelligent enough for you to marry this afternoon. You will be seeing the young ladies all week and then you may return to Hogwarts.
After your return you will be granted another week to decide on who you will marry and then we will begin preparations for the wedding. Please hurry home Theodore, I do not like to wait. Headmaster Dumbledor will inform your teachers of your absence and they will owl you your homework each day.
Love from Mother
Theodore reads over the letter repeatedly but cannot understand why his mother would just suddenly arrange this. He didn't want to marry some girl, especially now that he was finally with Blaise! Maybe his mother would understand if he told her that Blaise was a Veela and he was Blaise's mate, it was unheard of to break a Veela and their mate up, right?
"I understand that you are upset at the moment but you do have to go home immediately. You may go tell your friends that you are leaving and then pack up, please meet back here in a half hour," Dumbledor says and Theo quickly gets up and leaves the room.
Theo wanders to the Slytherin House in a daze, quickly packing a small bag with his textbooks, wand, and other magical needs to do his school work over the week. Once he was done packing he headed into the common room to find Blaise, Pansy, and Draco just entering.
"Theo!" Blaise says happily as he runs over and hugs his mate tightly. "What did Dumbledor want?" Blaise then notices Theo's bag. "What's in the bag?" he wonders curiously.
"I… I have to go home for a week… I… My mother… She…" he can't seem to finish his sentences so he just hands the letter to Blaise to read. As Blaise reads his eyes slowly fill with tears and leak down his face. Pansy and Draco read over Blaise's shoulder to see why Theo is so upset.
"You can't get married! You're my mate, you can't marry some girl!" Blaise shouts sadly as he suddenly clings to the front of Theo's shirt.
"I know, Aise… I'm going to figure out something, I promise…" Theo murmurs quietly as he runs his fingers through Blaise's hair. "But I have to leave; otherwise my mother will be angry. I'll only be gone a week and then we'll have some time to figure out what to do. I love you, Aise, and I'm going to miss you this week," he adds before giving Blaise one last kiss before heading off to Dumbledor's office again.
Blaise watches sadly as his mate leaves, his heart aching painfully. Why did Theo's mother have to decide to make him marry some girl? He was going to make sure Theo stayed with him no matter what.
I've been gone forever, haven't I? xD Oh well, I can't be apologizing every chapter now can I? I get writers block and I have homework like everyone else ^-^;
Anyways, did anyone watch the Olympics? Guess what? I live there!!!! WOOT! Lol!
Did you enjoy our epic fail in the opening ceremonies when the fourth totem pole didn't go up to help light the torch? xD
Oh well, it can' t be perfect! Did you enjoy the ending ceremonies? We're one of the few countries that will make fun of ourselves on world-wide television! xD
Apparently some people took the whole beaver/moose thing seriously o.o I read on sites that people thought it was 'a show of true Canadian culture' o.o
Do people really think we're all police that ride horses and worship beavers and moose and say 'eh' 24/7? I know very few people who say 'eh' xP
Anyways, in your reviews please tell me what you thought of the opening and ending ceremonies and if you really thought we were serious when we were making fun of ourselves! =D
