My Love // Theo Nott

forty two

Pansy and I went to our dorm to change then went over to the boys dorm. When we walked in I saw the boys already smoking.

For the majority of the night Elio was really nice to me and was acting as if we didn't have a fight that caused me to leave the apartment.

We were like that. We always avoided talking about an argument and instead we acted as if it never happened. It was annoying sometimes, but I personally think that prevents further arguments.

A couple hours later I was pretty high and was starting to be more talkative.

"Guess what, Draco." I said to him.

"What?" he asked as he giggled. He was high out of his mind and couldn't stop laughing at the dumbest stuff.

"Tomorrow I want to play versus you in quidditch."

"I'll beat you easily!" he said loudly. "In fact, let's go outside and I'll prove it to you right now." He got up and headed towards the door to leave. I followed him out of the room.

Blaise wasn't as high as us so he easily grabbed us from the hallway and put us back into the room. Draco was laughing and booing at Blaise. I was doing the same and Pansy couldn't stop laughing.

For a moment I had completely forgotten about Theo, so when I looked around the room to look for who had the joint my eyes landed on Theo. He was staring at me then he looked at Draco then back at me. When I looked at Draco I hadn't realized that he was lying his head on my chest with his arms around my stomach.

I looked back at Theo to see him getting a bottle of alcohol out from under his bed. I scrambled out of Draco's grip and towards Theo. I grabbed the bottle before he could drink any and held it away from him.

"Give that back to me, Aurora." he said quietly.

"No, I thought you weren't drinking anymore-"

"Things change." he said harshly as he got up and walked out of the room. I looked at Blaise for an answer, but he only motioned his head towards the door. Elio was too busy talking and laughing with Pansy so I put the bottle on the ground and walked out.

When I walked into the common room I saw Theo sitting down on one of the couches in front of the fire.

I sat down next to him, but he didn't acknowledge my presence. I leaned back against the couch and just waited for him to start talking. I was starting to get really tired though so after a couple minutes I decided to be the first to speak.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing." I exhaled a deep breath.

"Obviously something is wrong."

"It's nothing, Aurora." He said loudly. I jumped a little. It seemed to go unnoticed because he didn't even look at me.

"Why are you always so mad at me?" I snapped at him.

He looked at me with the same look he had on at his manor. "You show up at my house. You're all over Draco-"

"Draco was on me and I didn't even realize it. Plus it's not like he knows about you and me, so how is he supposed to-"

Theo cut me off with his laugh. It wasn't one of those nice ones that I could listen to all day, it was a sarcastic one. "Is there even a you and me?" Theo was shaking his head as if I just said a ridiculous thing.

"You are the one who asked me to be your girlfriend." He looked away from me and back at the fire without saying anything. I waited for something to be said and for a while nothing was said by either of us. I was leaned back while he was leaned forward so I couldn't see his face.
