Theo Nott was a lot of things, subtle was not one of them. Poor guy has been trying to get you to go on a date with him for almost two months. He has done his fair share of embarrassing moments in front of you, but they got you to laugh. So it was worth it.

Draco and Blaise's favorite pastime was making fun of him for it. Theo is the embodiment of cockiness and egotistical to a tee, but around you, completely different story. Stumbling over his words, blushing, even tripping sometimes. The teasing didn't stop him though, and you hadn't actually told him to stop, you knew he would respect it if you did and leave you alone.

You were walking to your next class when you felt someone fall into step with you.

" hi Theo" you say smiling at the boy.

" Hi love" earning an eye roll from you at the pet name.

"Hey feel my shirt" he said exigently. You raised an eyebrow in confusion but slowly reached out your hand to touch his shirt.

"It feels like a shirt" you reply not understanding the point of all of this.

"Want to know the material?" he asked. You laughed at the bizarre situation you got yourself into.

" If i'm being honest, I don't care, but for the sake of the conversation yes of course. I would love to know Theo" winking at him.

"Boyfriend material" your jaw dropped. you bursted out in laughter to the point you were wiping tears.

"Theo, love" mimicking the pet name he used on you, " that was a really bad joke"

He laughed with you, not caring that the joke didn't land because he got to hear your laugh, " you know i'm funny"

You raised an eyebrow in question at that statement.

" How about this," he continued. Stopping you right before you got to your class, putting his hand on your upper arm. "Let me take you on a date and we can decide afterwards if im funny or not"

Theo genuinely wasn't planning on asking you, he just wanted to make you laugh, but hey it was worth a shot. He knew you were going to say no but he didn't care.

" You know what Theo," you say, earning a shy glance from him, " I like that idea. One date" you hold up one finger. " one" you repeated.

His eyes went wide in shock, you said yes, you actually said yes.

" I'm not going to say anything else, i'm going to walk away, not wanting to risk you changing your mind. So I will meet you at the common room at 7:30 tonight"

You laugh at his reaction but nod, turning to head into class, giddy with excitement for tonight.

..........................

It was 7pm and you were nervous, which was ridiculous, it was just Theo. Nothing crazy, just a date. Just. One. Date.

The clock rolled around to 7:30 and you headed down to the common room. You went casual for your outfit and were thankful for it, as Theo was dressed casually too.

" Hi love" you rolling your eyes at the pet name, " you are going to learn to love it" he continued.

"Is that so" you questioned and he nodded. He reached his hand out for you to take it which you did, letting your fingers intertwined.

" Do I get to know where we are going on this date"

" Absolutely not, like you said I get one chance, I'm not risking anything like you not liking the idea" he replied to your question.

You two walked for a little bit until you got to the quidditch pitch.

" You took me to the quidditch pitch" laughing slightly.

" Well yes but it's more than that. The stars are really pretty tonight so I thought we could lay on the quidditch pitch and look at them" you did your best to hide your shock.

You had no idea Theo Nott was such a romantic, and could plan such a sweet date like this.

" I have to say, Theo, i'm pleasantly surprised with your date idea" looking at him smiling. He smiled back and led you to the blanket and pillows he had laid out on the pitch.

You two laid down next to each other, still holding hands. Staring up at the stars, talking every once and a while.

As the night went on you got to know a Theo you had no idea existed. He was so much more thoughtful and a deep thinker than you thought he was.

By the end of the night you looked at him, " Theo" you say, making him turn his head so he was looking at you, him humming in response.

" You're really funny" his eyes went wide at this confession.

"Does that mean I get a second date?" He questioned.

" I would love that"
