Author's note: Hi again, told you I'd update quick! Here is the supplemental story to Green. It's not that great but it explains why they married anyways. More stories will explain why he's even such good friends with her, but that's laaaater. Enjoy.


"How do you know?" He paces like a caged tiger and when she says this he stops dead in his tracks, stares hard at his shoes, and then starts up the action once more.

Back and forth, back and forth.

"I just do."

"Is it mine?"

Despite the fact that their conversation is so serious, serious, serious, she laughs. Giggles and snorts a bit because what he is asking is simply that astoundingly hilarious.

Not to him, though, and he scowls.

"Unless you've gone and done something to me in my sleep, I don't quite know how it could be yours, Teddy."

"Right… what have your parents said?"

"They… they don't know."

He stops again and this time his cold eyes meet hers and for a moment, Theodore Nott is feeling utterly helpless. He doesn't need to ask her why they don't know yet, he understands it perfectly well. Laura is old Irish blood. Mixed, for sure, but rich all the same, and he knows that little rich girls don't tell mothers and fathers that they're unmarried and pregnant.

"Are you quite sure, Laura?" It's the fifth time he's asked in the past hour and now it's her time to scowl.

"I have a sixth sense, okay? I know I am and I can't tell them so that's that."

"You can tell them!"

"I can't, I'm not even married, what will they think??"

"Not married yet," he supplies and with a great, protesting sort of huff he looks away until he finds his middle being latched onto, and then he looks down upon a head of dark brown curls.

"Oh, Theodore, you would do that?"

He can't answer the question so he simply gulps down any words wanting to come up and pats her head fondly. He doesn't know why he's offering himself like this. Maybe it has something to do with her saving his life. Maybe it has more to do with the pressure to marry from his own parents ("any witch will do, Theodore, just hurry it up!") Or maybe it's that he secretly wishes it wasn't some one night stand wizard to have knocked her up. Maybe he wishes it was his baby, their baby, maybe, maybe, maybe.

But she doesn't need to know any of that, so he stays quiet, still, and stoic.
