Chapter 5:
Theo was sitting in his living room, drinking a cup of tea, with Hermione sitting across from him. He had just told her about Draco's visit and she looked slightly upset.
"Maybe I should give him another chance. I did love him and maybe it will be good for me." He stated watching Hermione's reaction as she snapped her head up, eyes wide, looking at him.
"Well, what if Harry comes back and you are you Draco. What will you do then?" This made Theo confused.
"You were just practically pushing me on him the other day and now you are trying to convince me not to be with him. What are you not telling me Hermione?" He asked, fidgeting in his seat.
"Nothing, I'm just saying what if he comes back and you and Draco have a life together, what will you do? It's something you have to think about for Xavier's sake." Theo watched as she tried to avoid eye contact by taking a sip of her tea. Something wasn't right here and he wanted to know.
"What is it? What are you hiding from me Hermione? You and Marcus have been trying to get me to move on and now you seem like you just want me to wait around again. What is it?" He was shocked when Hermione broke down crying, he quickly moved over to the couch and wrapped an arm around her.
"Last week I had to go to America to talk to the bosses over there and I ran into someone Theo." He pulled back slightly from her and looked confused as to why she would be crying.
"Who?"
"Please don't be mad at me for not telling you sooner, please." He found himself standing now, looking down at her.
"I'll try not to be mad, but I don't know where you are going with this so I can't make any promises. Now just tell me."
"Harry, I saw Harry." Theo's heart stopped and his knees gave out as he slowly went to the floor.
"How, are you sure? It could have been someone else." He was grasping at anything for it not to be true.
"Marcus went there the next day and talked to him Theo, it's him."
"Why isn't he here then, why didn't you drag him back?"
"He…He was with someone Theo." His head snapped up and looked her in the eye, seeing the tears still there he knew It wasn't good.
"Who?" He felt like a damn owl now.
"I think his boyfriend, Marcus saw them kiss. Harry also said he had moved on Theo." He was pissed now, he picked up a lamp and threw it into the wall. These were times he hated living in the muggle world and choosing not to do magic.
"NO.. I don't believe you. I can't believe you. Where is he. What is the address. Take me there." Hermione stumbled standing up and quickly went to call Marcus to come watch Xavier for them and told him where they were going. The minute that Marcus showed up, Theo pulled her into his back yard and told her to apperate them to where Harry was.
Moments later he was standing across the street from a small Muggle bookstore, watching people come and go for an hour before he saw Harry and some guy leave, hold hands, smiling and laughing. Theo's heart dropped into his stomach when he saw Harry lean in and kiss the guy before they walked away.
"I have to talk to him." Hermione only nodded and followed Theo to a little café where the other two men had entered. He saw Harry excuse himself into the loo and followed him, leaving Hermione at a table. He froze when he entered the room, seeing Harry standing, now washing his hands. When Harry turned around, Theo saw him freeze as well when he recognized him standing there.
"Ha….Harry?" Theo asked, not seeing the blazing green eyes he once loved.
"Theo, Fuck what are you doing here? No let me guess Hermione and Marcus?" Theo was hurt by how angry Harry sounded.
"Hermione. She's out in the café. I'm here after hearing the love of my life and the father of my son is still alive. What are you doing here?" Theo asked, fighting the tears that wanted to spill.
"I'm here with my boyfriend having lunch."
"Boyfriend. So what do I tell Xavier about his father? He decided he didn't want us and moved to America to be with his BOYFRIEND." Theo was pissed, he couldn't believe how selfish Harry could be.
"No, you can tell him I died the day of the battle. You can also forget you have ever seen me and move on Theo. Go be happy, find someone to take care of you and YOUR son."
"Our son, Harry. He is and always will be our son. Fine, I'll move on. I'll go let Draco know I'm finally ready after finding out the one that holds my heart doesn't want it any longer. Just know this. If you suddenly decide to come back into my life, I don't know if I can let you. I love you Harry, we have a son together, that should have meant something to you." Theo quickly pulled Harry into a quick kiss before going to the door. "Goodbye Harry, I hope you are happy here."
Theo quickly left, grabbing Hermione on the way to the door and into the ally. The apperated back to his house and he asked her and Marcus to please lease, as nicely as he could. He couldn't believe they didn't tell him right away when they found Harry.
He picked up his son, looking into his face and seeing Harry. He knew he would never be able to lie to his son and hoped that he wouldn't be angry with him for not trying harder to get Harry back in his life. He had to move on, not only for himself but for his son to.
The next day he decided to call Draco and met him for dinner, he said it was not a date, just two people getting together to talk. Draco however said it was a date and he didn't care what Theo thought about it. That night they talked about everything that had happened at school and during the battle. How Draco was extremely sorry for the way he treated Theo and wanted nothing more than to prove it to him.
They ended up back in Theo's living room with a still very awake Xavier playing on the floor. Xavier crawled over to Draco and playfully tugged at his pants. Draco smiled before he picked him up and started to play with him, Theo watching with a smile on his face at how good he was with his son.
When Xavier started to yawn, Theo took him from Draco's arms and brought him upstairs to bed. Theo was surprised to see Draco standing in the door when he turned to leave his son's room. They stood facing each other in the hall, leaning on the wall. Draco wrapped him arm around Theo's waist and pulled him close, placing his lips onto his.
When they pulled apart, Draco was smiling like an idiot.
"Theo, would you please consider being with me. I want to be there for you, for Xavier. I want to be able to take care of the two of you."
"Yes." Draco pulled back and stared in Theo's eyes.
"Yes, you'll think about it?"
"Yes, I'll be with you. I know I don't fully love you like I did in the past, but I know I still hold a lot of feelings for you and I see how Xavier likes you. I want to try to move on with you."
"Thank you, you don't know how happy you have made me Theo." Theo pulled Draco into a kiss as they made it to the front door, not really wanting Draco to leave, but knowing it was just way to soon for him to even think about staying.
