Safe House

Fifty

Andromeda Tonks got back to us within three hours of Draco sending off the letter. She had said yes, that her home is always welcome and she should be expecting our arrival soon.

Draco had come up with the idea that we wait until early the next morning, on the third of September.

Lex had agreed to let us use his car, even teaching Draco how to use the satnav, which was a mini map that tells you where to go, Cool right!

I still had no idea what do about my current predicament, I avoided Draco at all costs, when either Lex or Theo was around, I was still trying to decide if I should even tell Theodore, maybe I can wait and talk to Andromeda she might know what to do.

Theo and I were laying in bed, we were facing each other, trying to wake up before having to get ready, everything was already packed up and ready to go.

"Uhm...Theo.." I started unsurely.

"Yes, love?" he yawned

"You know how we said ages ago that neither of us wanted children"

"Well, that was mostly your decision, but I agreed that you have loads of siblings who can have kids, and we get to be the cool rich aunt and uncle." He smiled.

"Yeah.. yeah... would you ever want kids?" As soon as I said it, I wanted to take it back.

His brows furrowed as he stared at me.

"Hypothetically speaking" I rushed.

"Oh, uh, well... I mean, it would be kind of cool to have one, I think, why are we talking about this?"

"I was just wondering, you know" I said.

Before Theo could say anything else, someone started banging on our door.

"Get up! We're going" Draco shouted through the door.

I rolled my eyes, before pushing the duvet off, going to stand up but Theo grabbed my arm.

"Are you sure there's nothing else you want to tell me?" He asked, his eyes watching me carefully.

"Yep" I nodded "I'm sure, we should get up" I stood up and far away from the bed, grabbing the clothes I put on the end of the bed, a pair of grey trackies and a t-shirt that was way too big to be mine.

I put my hair up and out of my face as I left the room, leaving Theo to get ready.

"You need to tell him" Draco said once I walked into the kitchen. Lex was still in his room asleep as he had college later in the day, but we said all our goodbyes and thank yous the night before.

"Were you listening in on our conversation?" I asked

"Not my fault the walls are thin"

"They're not." I said flatly.

"Oh well, you need to tell him, Keira"

"Stay out of it" I said sharply, walking away from him when Theo walked in.

"What's going on?" He asked.

"Nothing, baby, we were just talking about the journey, and that I'm going to drive." I said "We should probably get snacks as well" I filled a cup of coffee, adding milk and sugar.

"Good idea" Theo said, walking over to the cupboards to raid them, good thing Lex loves topping up snacks.

"Yeah, especially considering your eating for two" Draco whispered to me. I gasped, before kicking him in the leg as discreetly as I could without alarming Theo.
