Hey everyone. Here is the next chapter of The Secret of Dreams. This chapter was brought to you by Quidditch Training Camp, and Pop Figure Collection on Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. For the Quidditch Training Camp I wrote for Lunges and the task was that Harry Potter must be the main character of the story. For Pop Figure Collection I wrote for the Harry Potter figure of Ginny Weasley Gryffindor Ginny and the task was to write about a Gryffindor. Warning for mentions of Theo's first time. Word Count without the Author's Note 1,717. I hope you enjoy Chapter two Amsterdam (City of Theo's Dreams or More) Part one.

After their day together getting to know each other Harry and Theo decided that Theo would join Harry on his vacation. After all why not have the other man along? That would give them more time to spend together. Or at least that was how Harry was looking at it. If you asked the Gryffindor during their school years if he'd ever consider inviting Theodore Nott or any of his friends on vacation Harry probably would have laughed in your face. Now he was dreading the day the two would have to part.

So when it was time for Harry's stay in Ireland to end he knew what he had to do. Gathering all his courage to do what he really wanted to. He walked up to Theo with a smile hoping that Theo felt the same way he did.

"Theo," Harry said nervously, "I was wondering if...and you can say no to this...but I was wondering if you would like to - um maybe...I don't know come with me?"

Theo's eyes widened in shock at the stuttered blundered question. He'd been hoping that Harry would either stay or invite him to come with him but he didn't expect it to happen. After all they'd only spent a week together. A wonderful week together and he didn't want it end any time soon. But he also didn't want to rush the other man into something he didn't want.

"I...I...only if you want me to," Theo answered trying to hide the hopeful undertone of his voice. He didn't know how Harry Potter felt about him. He could only perceive so much of what he thought the other man felt but he didn't know. "I don't want to take away fr..."

"I do want you to come with me," Harry laughed taking pleasure at the hopefulness he'd heard in Theo's voice. "I wouldn't have asked you to join me if I didn't want you to."

"Where are we headed to then?"

Harry had thought that far ahead. He'd only planned to be gone for a week. Just to sight see in Ireland but now that he was here and he'd mentioned a continuation to his vacation he just didn't know where to go.

"Where have you always wanted to go?" Harry asked Theo.

Theo's thoughts raced at him in the speed of light. Bombarding him with the plans he'd once made with his ex-boyfriend, Blaise Zabini. They'd made plans that if they were still together this time of year they'd head to Amsterdam. But then again that had been said towards the end of their relationship. At that point it was obvious that Blaise would rather flirt with other guys than his own boyfriend. Also Theo had an inkling that Blaise was always high when they were together.

"Theo," Harry's voice broke though his thoughts, "you alright?"

Theo nodded. "Just thinking about the question you posed," he told the raven haired Gryffindor he was falling madly for. Maybe going to Amsterdam would be a good thing. It would show that he was over Blaise. He was moving on and hopefully with Harry. "I've always wanted to visit Amsterdam. How about you?"

"That sounds interesting," Harry stated as he wondered if Theo was thinking about the beauty of Amsterdam or the other aspects of it. "I heard they have beautiful canals and other such things." I've also heard they have a big drug scene, Harry thought as he watched Theo squirm. "Why Amsterdam if you don't mind my asking?"

"It's an artist's dream," Theo murmured. At one time he'd been into art and drawing but Blaise had insisted he give up what he loved doing in order be with him. "And you are right it's a very beautiful landscape. Especially the canals and the gondolas." A smile crossed his face. "I've always wanted to draw the landscapes of different places. Bl...My ex never saw drawing as something worth while. He always wanted my attention on him until I wanted his on me."

"I'm sorry to hear that," Harry murmured. "Amsterdam it is then."

The drive to the airport was quite and amicable. Neither man wanted to break the glorious feel of having gotten what they wanted. Both wanted to continue being in each other's company. The blue sky overhead made this trip even more perfect. Hoping as that this was a sign that everything was going to be all blue skies from here Harry smiled over at Theo.

Theo felt butterflies in his stomach as Harry smiled over at him. The other man probably meant the smile to seem friendly but Theo wanted more than friendship from Harry. He'd thought that he'd put that out there all the time they'd spent together and he had put it out there in subtle ways. An accidental brush of fingers against fingers as they walked around a park outside Dublin. Brushing the hair out of Harry's eyes as they stood on the bridge watching the sunset before dinner in Belfast. Gathering his courage Theo reached out and laced his finger through Harry's hand.

Harry felt Theo's fingers lace through his own gently. He felt the zing go through him again and wondered if he'd felt this feeling before with anyone. He didn't really recall ever feeling a zing go through him with Cho Chang. Or even with his ex-girlfriend, Ginny Weasley. The tingle that went all the way to places it'd never gone before. A faint blush colored his cheeks as he realized Theo was watching him intently.

"What?" Harry asked as they pulled up to the airport.

"You're cute when blush," Theo told the raven haired green eyed man as the blush deepened.

Harry pulled into the first available parking space he'd seen. Quickly averting his gaze from Theo's he caught sight of his flushed face in the rear view window. He hadn't realized he'd been blushing until now.

"You don't have to be embarrassed about it," Theo gently told him. "I'm sorry if I was a bit forward. With the holding your hand thing. I'm more of people person than I thought." At least saying this didn't make it look like he was trying to force himself and his feelings on Harry.

"No...I...I wasn't...I was just..."

"Harry," Theo gently moved a piece of the dark hair that had fallen into Harry's eye out of them, "just tell me if I'm getting to pushy. It won't hurt my feelings or anything. Alright?"

Licking his lips nervously Harry nodded. He looked over to see the darkened blue of Theo's eyes starting at him intently. He'd never actually looked at the blonde man's features before, during their school years. But now looking at the delicate features of the man's face Harry had to admit Theodore Nott was the type of man that could be considered beautiful. His high cheeks bones and almond shaped eyes. His slight nose right above a pair of plump, round pink lips. Harry didn't understand why he couldn't take his eyes off them.

"Theo..."

"Harry?"

"Is it alright if I try something?"

Theo stomach sank with those words. That had been how his relationship with Blaise had begun. He and Blaise had been hanging out at Blaise's the summer of sixth year. They'd been experimenting with some of the Muggle drugs which in and of itself had been bad decision on their part. He can still hear Blaise's voice now even though it was years ago.

"Theo..." Blaise had murmured nervously with a small giggle as the pot had hit his system, "do...do you think..." He brushed a hand over the back of his neck as nervous took over. "Is it alright if I try something?"

Not knowing what Blaise had had in mind Theo had happily agreed. Blaise was his best friend after all and wouldn't do anything to hurt him. "I guess," Theo had murmured watching Blaise through hooded eyes.

The Italian boy had then leaned forward and pressed his lips aggressively against Theo's own. Theo's eyes shot open in surprise. He hadn't thought that Blaise was gay but here the other boy was tongue seeking entrance into Theo's mouth. Theo struggled to keep Blaise out of his mouth but lost as Blaise had forced his way through.

Theo pulled away startled. "What was that about?"

"You wanted me to kiss you, Theo," Blaise had said. "Don't be such a baby about it." He had gone back to aggressively kissing Theo again practically pinning Theo to floor of his room.

"Theo," Harry's voice broke Theo out of his clouded thoughts of the other first that had followed his first kiss with another boy, "are you alright?"

Theo shook his head as the thoughts of what was rushed away to reveal Harry's concerned looking face looking at him. "I just wish you'd have phrased your question differently," Theo said. "I kind of bad memories of that question..."

"Say no more," Harry told him. "I'm sorry..."

"You don't have to be..."

"I know but I am." Heart in his throat Harry leaned over the armrest of his car, licking his lips to gently wet them. He gently cupped Theo's face and pressed a chaste kiss against the other man's lips. The zing intensified if that was possible but Harry was still a little frightened by how he was feeling. Pulling back quickly he pulled the tickets he'd printed out from the hotel computer out and moved to leave the car. "Shall we? Amsterdam and adventure await us."

Theo nodded as he followed Harry through the airport. Harry was right after all Amsterdam and adventure did await them. And, Theo thought hopefully as he watched Harry's muscled back move forward ahead of him, maybe something more. Much much more.

I hope you all enjoyed the second chapter of The Secret of Dreams Amsterdam (City of Theo's Dreams and More) part one.
