Darklording {Harry/Theo}

CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE

"Classes today will be cancelled, as unfortunately, Professor Rockwood's remains were found in the Forbidden Forest yesterday by Hagrid" 

Harry groaned and hit his head on the table, 

"Classes tomorrow will also be cancelled as teachers will be busy helping to investigate this" Dumbledore added sitting down. 

Harry sighed and lay his head on the table tired. 

"I have a good idea" Harry started "We should go swimming in the black lake" 

"Harry, no offense, but no fucking way, you can do that, we'll watch, but no way" Theo said staring at Harry in shock at the idiotic suggestion. It was nearing Christmas break, and while it hadn't snowed yet, it had dropped to near negatives. 

Harry shrugged and stuffed the rest of his toast into his mouth, heading for the common room. When he returned again the others had finished eating, he'd left his things in his room. 

"come on then" he waved his hands already heading out again. 

"this idiot" Theo shook his head but followed after. The others nodded in agreement and followed after also. 

"i can not believe he wants to swim in this" Pansy said eyeing the lake with disdain. 

"He made friends with the Mermaids last year that's probably why he wants to" Theo said staring at Harry from behind. 

Harry's genius idea was apparently to jump in almost fully robed. He still had his pants and shirt, and loosened tie on, but the rest was on a heap by the dock. 

Several students were watching Harry dive in, and went back to their activities once Harry was in the water. He didn't come up for several minutes so they sat down on the cold grass and waited. A good few minutes a sopping wet Harry popped out, 

"nice in the water then?" Blaise called when he say Harry's head. 

"Lovely" Harry pulled himself up the ladder, climbing out on the dock. 

"Harry you need to warm up, you've been underwater for more than ten minutes" Theo walked closer to Harry. 

"how did he even do that" Draco whispered to Pansy who simply shrugged. 

"Sure you don't want a hug?" Harry held out his arms, and Theo would have melted into them, but then again Harry was wet. 

"no, Harry no stay away until your, yknow, dry" Theo pushed Harry away slightly. 

Harry shrugged and cast a slightly stronger hot-air-charm, and in seconds Harry was dry once more. His clothes hanging loose once more, and his hair dry and fluffy.

"hug now?" Harry held his arms out again. 

"You big baby" Theo grinned tucking himself into Harry's arms. Harry beamed and held Theo tight. 

"You were the one who disposed of Rockwood weren't you?" Pansy looked at Harry suspiciously. 

"maybe, why?" Harry looked at her. 

"Harry not now, she isn't going to sell you out, you know this" Theo said looking up at Harry who shut his mouth immediately. Blaise and Draco looked at eachother, it was honestly rather funny.

Harry looked at his pile of clothes, and it floated behind a tree before disappearing. 

"Ok, but, how the fuck do you do that" Draco watched the pile of clothes float around. 

"it's a branch of off death magic, similar to how I can manipulate dementor magic" Harry explained softly. Draco raised his eyebrows and sat down on a bench. 

Blaise and Pansy also sat down, so Harry and Theo stayed standing up in front of the bench. A gentle breeze blew through the yard every now and then, covering their skin with a chill. Except Harry, but he was a living furnace, 

'I was too' James would say occasionally. 

"Harry I'm cold" Theo got closer to Harry, who wrapped Theo up in his arms, resting his head on Theo's shoulder. "thanks" 

Harry hummed and squeezed Theo slightly. 

"We should head to Hogsmeade tomorrow" Blaise noted. 

"For sure" Draco nodded 

"We can take the Honeydukes passage way" Harry added. 

A/N This chapter was brief and not so, anything, but next chapter will be better I swear (it was my first day back in school after a break and I got way too little sleep)
