I still remember third of December
Theo had been sitting under the tree by the lake with Harry, who was talking about Quidditch. It was pretty cold, and Theo couldn’t help but shiver.
Me in your sweater, you said it looked better
“N-no.” Harry rolled his eyes and chucked his Gryffindor sweater at Theo, who had left his own sweater in the Slytherin dorms. Theo smiled at Harry, and put on the sweater, trying not to bury his nose in it because it smelled so good. It smelled like Harry.
On me, than it did you, only if you knew
How much I liked you, but I watch your eyes
What a sight for sore eyes
Harry stopped talking, and it didn’t take long to figure out why. Ginny, Luna, and Hermione walked by, and Ginny waved and smiled at Harry. Theo had turned to see Harry sheepishly waving back, blushing.
Brighter than the blue sky
Internally, Theo had been screaming. It was excruciating to watch Harry, the boy he’s had a crush on- no, loved- for three years pine after someone else.
Now Harry and Ginny were getting married, with Theo and Ron as the best men. Theo thought back to a conversation he had had with Harry, back in their eighth year- almost everyone had gone back to school after the war. Harry had kissed Theo, and Theo wanted to know why.
“Why would you ever kiss me? I'm not even half as pretty.” Harry looked pained. “Don’t- Don’t say that, Theo. It was an accident, I swear. I’m so sorry.” Theo felt like he was going to cry. “You gave her your sweater…”
“But you like her better!’
Wish I were Ginny. Theo thought.
Watch as she stands with her holding your hand
Put your arm 'round her shoulder, now I'm getting colder
But how could I hate her? She's such an angel
But then again, kinda wish she were dead
Bringing himself back to the present, Theo watched as Ginny was led down the aisle. He had to admit, she looked amazing.
What a sight for sore eyes
After the wedding, Theo went home. He downed a bottle of Odgen’s Finest, which left his throat burning and aching. Theo thought it was fitting, that was how his heart felt. He walked through his manor- technically his father’s manor- trying to find somewhere where he wasn’t reminded of Harry.
Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater
In his drunken walk of the manor, he came across Harry’s Gryffindor sweater, the one he gave to Theo almost four years ago. He was torn between the urge to burn it or put it on and never take it off.
Harry had an uneasy feeling, watching Theo leave after the wedding. Like something was going to happen, the feeling he had gotten every time he went to Hogwarts for another year. He excused himself and apparated to the Nott Manor.
Why would you ever kiss me?
Theo, a bit more sober, went to one of the higher floors for- he didn’t really know what.
I'm not even half as pretty
Harry ran through Nott Manor, looking for Theo. His heart was pounding, but he didn’t know why. Theo is fine. He assured himself. It was then that it hit Harry that Theo might not even be at the Manor.
You gave her your sweater
Running through, checking every room, Harry came across a sitting room that had an empty bottle of Odgen’s Finest, Theo’s wand, and his old Gryffindor sweater from so many years ago. He hadn’t realized that Theo had kept it.
Theo absentmindedly went to the roof, feeling as if he were under a spell.
Harry finally came upon a staircase that led to the roof. Right before he reached the top, he heard something move. A few moments later, a thud, on the ground thirty feet below.
