"Wait, I'll go with you!"

Harry scrambles from his bed to catch up with Draco, whose hand is on the door. Theo rolls his eyes.

"I don't bite, Harry," he says, grumpily, from his bed.

"O-Of course, you don't," Harry says, avoiding eye contact, then leaving the room.

Theo sighs, then flips on his stomach. Ever since they figured out that he knows about their obvious mutual love for each other they've been avoiding him like the plague. They'd even rather be together than with him. Maybe he shouldn't have been so blunt.

By the time they return, Theo's ready for his shower and his nightly visit to Blaise's.

"I just don't get why they aren't snogging and shagging annoyingly, yet," Theo complains as Blaise threads his fingers through his hair.

Blaise tuts. "As much as I know you'd love that, you know you can't pressure them into this."

"When did you get so boring?" Theo drawls.

Blaise rolls his eyes, pulling on a strand Theo's hair. "Since you've become so adventurous."

Theo looks up, fondly, at his best friend. "I'm not that bad."

"Tell that to Draco and Harry," Blaise says softly, smiling at Theo.

Ron coughs. "I'm still here."

Blaise rolls his eyes, albeit darkened cheeks. "Not like you give anything to the gossip circle. Anyways, I bet you and Hermione do this a thousand times worse, and Theo and I are platonic."

Theo's eyes flicker to Ron, astonished. Ron gives a small shake of his head, and Theo sighs. How does Blaise still believe the two are together?! He thought his best mate was clever!

He shakes his head to himself. "Stop talking about them! I am trying to wallow in self pity!"

Ron gives him a sideways glance. "Now, you're sounding like Draco. You should stop talking to him."

"I'm not talking to him in the first place," Theo retorts, glaring. "Because of you, I may add."

"They were going to figure out sooner or later!" Ron flushes. "It's actually good that you explained it to them how you did."

"True," Blaise agrees. "I thought Sallis would be dead by the time they found out."

Theo winces. "She asked what happened..."

Blaise sits up. "You didn't?!"

"Of course I didn't tell her!" Theo exclaims. "But somehow she already had a vague idea. I've no idea..."

He looks at Ron, pointedly — who sits avoiding eye contact and is very flushed. "Ronald..."

"Well, when I went to the library, to uh, you know — look for you, to warn you about Harry and Draco... Er, I might've slipped something out," he flushes darker, "accidentally, of course!"

Blaise groans, and Theo turns red. "Ron!"

"It was only a couple of Ravenclaws... Oh, Sallis was definitely there," Ron cringes, looking​ at him, apologetically. "I'll explain it to Harry if he gives you any trouble."

"He won't, though," Theo insists. "He's still avoiding me. As well as Draco."

"Well," Blaise shifts, "you did kind of inform them, bluntly."
