             ⚠️talks of death, suicide⚠️

" hi there " a voice came from behind me. i turned and saw a tall, dark haired boy walking towards me. he had deep green eyes and a sharp jawline with high cheekbones. " hey " i replied as he sat next to me, legs dangling off of the edge like mine. " what are you doing up here alone?". " i don't know, i didn't really fancy going down to dinner so i just came up here. it's my escape really " i replied quietly, looking down. " what about you, why did you come up here?" i replied quickly after. " it's my escape too " he smiled as he pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket, taking one and lighting it with his wand before putting the pack away again. " i'm theodore nott, everyone calls me theo ". " i'm y/n black, just y/n ". " well hi again, just y/n " he said chuckling. he brought the cigarette up to his lips and took in a long breathe before blowing it out. " here " he said, holding it out to me. " thanks " i replied, taking it and bringing it to my lips- taking a long drag.

" what's your story? " he asked after a while's silence of us just listening to the rain. " not your hogwarts life- your home life and family. and your love life. i want to get to know you " he smiled brightly, turning to face me. i did the same and sighed. " well it's nothing exciting ". " we have time " he shrugged, still smiling. i rolled my eyes smiling and began. " well my mother was murdered by a death eater who also killed my little brother, my oldest brother took his own life and my father was also murdered a few days ago- as you probably know and my love life is pretty quiet right now, i mean i was with somebody and we got into an argument which resulted in him kissing someone else so i don't really know what's happening with that " i sighed, lowering my voice as i said the words about my dad; not wanting to cry in front of someone i didn't know. " i'm so sorry " he replied quickly after, looking at me with worry in his eyes. " it's okay ". " no it's not, i shouldn't have asked ". " can we talk about you?" i asked, taking the cigarette from him again. he chuckled and told me his story.

"... and well, let's just say my family aren't really the best family out there. they're all death eaters but i don't want to be like them, i hate voldemort but i feel like i'm going to be forced into supporting him and i'm worried for my future because i really don't want to be a death eater. if i do, i'm not going to be able to get a job and most people won't want to get married and settled down with a death eater so i'm fucked really when i think about it " he shrugged. " but if i get kicked out then i get kicked out. i'm not staying for something i don't want to do ". " you're always welcome with me, i can tell you're a nice person really. you can stay at my dads old house ". " really? i can?" his asked as his face lit up. i nodded as he rubbed my arm. " you're a life saver ".

" how'd you get this?" he asked softly, rubbing his thumb over the scar on my neck. " fighting death eaters in the ministry a few days ago ".    " oh so she's a fighter now " he smirked. " something like that " i spoke as i took another drag. " how come i haven't seen you around lately?". " you ask a lot of questions, theo " i chuckled as he nodded and smiled. " i haven't really left my dorm, i wanted to avoid all the questioning about my dad. plus dumbledore's given me two weeks off classes so it's kind of a bonus " i sighed, looking out across the lake. " listen, it'll take time but you'll be okay. the pain that comes with losing someone you love will subside and life will be liveable again, i know it may not seem like it now but i promise that it gets better. and your ex boyfriend; if he loves you as much as he tells you he does then he'll come around to you and he can help you heal too but for now, it's better to heal alone so you can be even better together. if i loved someone and wanted to hold on them, i wouldn't do anything that might put me in a position that means i lost them. you can't really hold on to someone, because the tighter you hold on to them, the more they want to slip away. all you can do is love them and make sure they know that you're never gonna slip away " he said, wrapping his arm around my shoulders. " you should replace dumbledore when he gives those inspirational quotes at the feasts " i said smiling as he boomed with laughter. " yeah i guess i should " he chuckled, pulling me into him so my head was resting on his shoulder.

" if you don't mind me asking, what was the argument with your boyfriend about? you don't need to tell me but i'm just confused as to why he put himself in that position to lose someone like you ". " i have a lot of guy friends and i don't know i guess he thought i was purposely trying to make him jealous so he did the same thing but the girl kissed him and i just so happened to walk into the common room at the same time " i shrugged. " i mean i think we're okay now, we're starting again. we rushed into it way too quickly but we've spoken about everything already " i explained. " he sounds like an arse " theo laughed. " who's the mystery man?". " the one and only, george weasley ". " i mean... he's not the one and only really is he? doesn't he have a twin? really he's just a clone of someone who's a clone of him- that didn't make sense " he slapped his hand over his head and laughed. " i get what you mean " i replied. " oh don't think i'm prejudice towards him in any possibly way, by the way. he's a good person- well partly but that's not right. trying to make you jealous because he got the wrong accusation? please, as if you would ever even think of making him jealous!". " exactly! thanks theo!" i exclaimed. " well he doesn't have to worry about us, i'm seeing someone " he burst out. " you and i are just very good friends " he continued as i smiled. " come on, it's late. you need sleep because you, my beautiful new friend, are getting out tomorrow " he held his hand out and helped me up, pulling me into a hug. " we'll see ". " i really am sorry about your family y/n, if there's anything i can do then please just let me know and i'll try my best to help " he whispered into my hair, before leading us out of the door and eventually parting our ways in front of the entrance to the gryffindor common room.
