Lockdown with a Nott
Once again Theo’s alarm went off at 4:30 am. Harry would have to get used to this since he would be stuck rooming with Nott for the rest of the year. As soon as it went off Harry groaned and got up. Then he did his daily routine and started to walk out of the room before the teachers went yelling through the hallways “Students stay in your rooms, there is an emergency lockdown.”
Well what the fuck is that all about, Harry wondered. The more Harry thought about this, the more scared he began to get. What if Voldemort was once again trying to kill Harry?
Harry started to hyperventilate, it was almost like he was forgetting how to breathe. Theo took notice of this and went over to sit next to Harry. “Harry, are you ok?” Theo said sounding concerned.
“Theo what if V-v-voldemort’s going to get me? What if he’s coming back?” Harry said, tears streaming down his face at the very thought.
“I promise Harry, he won’t get you.” Theo stated.
“O-okay Theo, I trust you.” Harry responded, wiping the tears with his sleeve.
Then Harry sort of zoned out, he was quite embarrassed, crying in front of Theo and all. He felt so vulnerable. Yet he also felt safe with Theo. And he wasn’t quite sure why.
“T-theo?” Harry said quietly.
“Yeah?” Theo replied.
“I sorta like you…” Harry trailed off.
“Oh.” Theo said and Harry buried his face in the nearest pillow.
“Harry?” Theodore asked.
“Yeah Theo?” Harry responded.
“I like you too.” Theodore said.
“Oh.” Harry said after a while “So. What now.”
“Um, I’m not sure.” Theo replied.
And so the two boys sat awkwardly before Theodore made the first move. He leant in and kissed The boy who lived (or shall we call him the boy who loved).
Harry enjoyed it. It wasn’t like a heated kiss but he still enjoyed it. It was a simple, shot, and sweet kiss. And it just so happened to be the first kiss for both boys.
After a few seconds the boys pulled away and stared at each other.
“I’m sorry if that was too much Harry, it just felt right. You know?” Theo said to the boy whom he loved so much.
Harry didn’t know how to respond, so he didn’t. He just planted another kiss on Theo’s lips. And that said enough.
“So, Harry Scarface Potter, will you be my boyfriend?” Theo asked, laughing at the Scarface part.
“Yeah, I think I will, Theo I get up at 4:30 am Nott.” Harry said chuckling at his own little joke.
After a little bit, the boys contained themselves and talked about themselves for a little while before the teachers announced that they would have the whole day without classes since it would be no use only having two.
So the rest of the day Harry and Theo lay in their two beds pushed together so it could fit both of them, just talking about life.
Theo went just about crazy when he heard the story about Sirius and Remus being Harry’s biological dads.
“Wait so you’re not really Harry Potter then, are you Harry Black or Harry Lupin then?” Theodore asked, making a good point.
“Actually, Im not sure. How about I send them an owl and ask. I could also tell them about us then.” Harry said before getting up before frantically searching around for a quill and parchment.
Once Theodore handed him one he got to work, sloppily writing words, before tying the letter to Hedwig and sending her off to Remus and Sirius’s house.
“Do you think they’ll be okay with you dating a Slytherin Harry?” Theo asked sounding genuinely concerned.
“I’m not sure, but I guess we’ll find out.” Harry said, now realizing that Sirius might make Harry break up with Theo after only one hour.
A couple hours later, Theo looked at the clock and realized that dinner was just about to start. He grabbed Harry’s hand and dragged him to The Great Hall. That’s when they parted ways, as they didn’t want to be seen holding hands or anything. That and the fact that they couldn’t sit together due to the difference in their houses.
Harry walked over to the Gryffindor section and his eyes scanned for Ron and Hermione.
Theo walked over to the Slytherin section, however instead of looking for a friend, he searched for an empty seat. Thankfully there was one at the very end of the row of tables.
Theodore sat down and thought about the day and how lucky he was to have Harry. He really hoped that Sirius and Remus would try to separate Harry and himself. Though to be honest, he wouldn’t give a fuck if they did try, because he simply wouldn’t let them, nobody was going to break Harry and Theo apart, no matter how hard they tried. That was certain.
Luckily Theodore and Harry didn’t have to worry much, as Sirius and Remus had gotten their son’s letter and were anything but mad. They were proud that their son, that barely even knew them, trusted them enough to tell them this.
The other part of the letter asked about Harry’s last name and whether it would be Potter, Black, or Lupin. And so this is their reply.
Dearest Harry,
I hope this letter finds you in good health, for Remus and I, Sirius Black are overjoyed by the news that you have found yourself a boyfriend. As we would love to meet him one day. He sounds lovely by the way you have described him in your letter, I hope he is as good in real life. As for your concern on the last name situation you may keep the last name “Potter” if you wish, however you may also go by the name “Harry Black” as that is the family name and it has a nice ring to it. You may choose whichever one you please.
Hope you enjoy your time at Hogwarts,
Sincerely,
Your Fathers (Remus and Sirius Black)
