Things just got easier or more complicated

Narcissa moved her husband to a spare bed and turned to the rest of the room "Hedwig, where is Aether? Is she with Isabelle or out hunting?" everyone turned to Harry as the owl chirped and ruffled her feathers "ah ok, I'll make sure she can get through the door then" they were all confused, who Aether and Isabelle? "She's still alive, you know. She misses you dearly Tom. She's quite hurt from what your notebook soul fragment had said and done to her.." They all turned to Tom, he looked close to crying "I miss her too. But I don't know how to get her out of here, she would love nagini....what did my past self say and do to her..?" Harry went into the story explaining how she was yelled at and insulted by Tom's past self, and how he had tried to use get to kill him, Tom collapsed into a chair after paling to a snow white 'master, they're too many humans here' came an angry hissing sound "Yes beautiful I know they're are too many people, but one of them is like me" Tom laughed at that "I believe this is Aether, hello my name is Tom" a beautiful magical boa constrictor/black mamba mix came to view, she was breathtaking. She was white with black specs all over and golden swirls upon her sides, her eyes were a gorgeous violet amd lilac mix with white cracks in them. She's close to 10 feet long and her beauty could rival that of humans. "Harry? Could you explain how you found her?" They all turned to Theo who got embarrassed and started to fidget "Of course Theo, no need to be embarrassed" Harry chuckled softly and patted the bed so Theo could sit down, only for said boy to jump as Aether used him to get up onto the bed "AH!" He quickly calmed down but was still a little spooked "It's ok she won't bite you, I promise." He smiled at Theo and everyone then notice they way they looked at each other, it was so obvious how could they have not seen it. They loved each other. "I couldn't find a familiar in Diagon ally so i went to Knockturn ally instead-" all the adults cut him off as one "YOU WENT TO KNOCKTURN ALLY ALONE?!" He grew slightly sheepish and blushed as he realized the danger he was in "Yes but I'm glad I did. I had felt a pull towards the farthest pet shop and when I walked in I saw beautiful over here getting hit by a customer with a wooden spoon while the whole store watched and laughed, I couldn't leave her there. Turns out she was what had drawn me there, I had paid for her and then went to the best pet shop and got her all the best things along with hedwig some new things. Since then I've been trying my best to give them the best life" he was looking down at the snake until Theo surged forward and hugged him and Aether together "I know it wad dangerous but I'm glad she had someone like you to save her" They could all hear the tears in his voice. Harry and Aether hugged him back and everyone turned away or busied themselves to give them privacy "Are you ok? You seemed quieter than usually" Harry whispered to Theo, the latter hesitany nodded his head but kept his tight grip hug as Harry slowly ruined his back " I saw you hurt really badly....I got scared...I always wanted to be...your friend and I thought I would never get the chance...so 8m really happy your ok" Theo buried his face softly into Harry's shoulder.

I hadn't let go of my sister since we left the corridor. How could I? I almost lost her today. Draco, Blaise, Marcus, and Daphne also almost lost their siblings. I never thought I would be grateful for a gryffindor being so reckless. He saved them, and he's even made Theo be more talkative- wait, hold on. I turn my head towards them and have to resist the urge to squeal, Theo had moved his way up the bed and is now laying down asleep next to potter and they cuddle "guys look!" I whisper pointing towards the bed, I can see Mrs. Malfoy, Ms. Zambini, Mrs. Flint, and Mrs. Greengrass all taking pictures of them. All the boys slowly stepped away from the women but everyone froze as they heard the two boys moving on the bed "Theo your gonna be sore sleeping like that" we all saw potter move Theo's arms and legs to be around him as he pulled him closer, Aether I believe the snakes name was, curled up at the top of the bed on the pillow. Once we were sure they were asleep again "omg that was so cute!!!" We heard the elder women squeal quietly, yeah it was. I couldn't help but smile, Theo looked really happy
