My Love // Theo Nott

five

When I woke up I rushed to breakfast before anyone had the chance to talk to me. When I got there it was already somewhat packed. When I made my way to the slytherin table I saw Elio was already there with everyone. I stopped in my tracks and started debating my seating options at the table that meant I wouldn't be close enough for Elio to start an argument again.

When I was about to turn around to leave and just skip breakfast, but Harry was calling me over to where he was sitting at the gryffindor table with Hermione and Ron. When I sat down next to him he gave me a slytherin robe.

"Here, you left it here yesterday." he said.

"I did? I didn't even realize it was missing." I said as I took it from him. I have at least three robes so I didn't question it when I found one missing. I ate in silence for a good 10 minutes before I heard Pansy talk.

"Is she seriously hanging out with them now too?" I heard Pansy say from the slytherin table. It seemed like Harry, Ron, and Hermione heard too because they automatically looked up from what they were doing to look at my reaction.

"Just leave her alone. It's not affecting you, is it?" I heard Theo say.

"Seems like Theo is taking a liking to you." said Ron. Harry shifted a bit in his seat then looked behind him to Pansy and Theo.

"We're friends. It seems like he and Blaise are the only ones not mad at me for hanging out with you guys or your brothers." I said to Ron.

"You three have potions right?" asked Hermione, looking at me, Harry, and Ron.

"Yeah." said Harry.

"Well I want to stop by at the owlery before class starts so i'll go now. I'll see-" she said, but I cut her off.

"I actually want to go too, I wrote to my mum yesterday and I want to see if she responded."

"Oh ok, come on then."

"We'll go too." said Harry, getting up and signaling to Ron to get up.

"Mate I don't want to go." he said, whining about leaving breakfast early. "I'll just meet you guys in class, yeah?"

As we were walking out Fred and George stopped me. "Get your food and meet us in the second floor girls lavatory for lunch." said Fred.

"We're gonna hang out in a girls bathroom for lunch?" I asked.

"No one uses it, it's fine." said George. "Bye!" they both said at the same time, and walked away.

When we got to the owlery there I there were two letters. One with my name and the other with Elio's. I decided to leave Elio's and not take it to him. I then opened mine.

Dear Aurora,

How did the first argument begin? You guys have never really argued. What happened in this little time? You can't come back, i'm sure Elio didn't mean it when he said for you to come back. He was probably just hurting a little bit from your argument. And why in the world did you hit him Rory? You've always been the one with self control, I don't know what's going on but I want to talk to Dumbledore about letting me come visit to be able to talk to you guys. Elio will get over the hit, I promise. He can never stay mad at you. Also, if your friends are tiring you out don't hang out with them. Remember that you can hang out with whoever you want, don't let the houses decide on who you're friends with. And about those 7th years, try to make more friends besides them. Maybe they'll have friends that they can introduce you to? Anyways, I'll talk to Elio about the arguments you guys will resolve everything soon.
Love, Mum
