My Love // Theo Nott

forty nine

Theo's pov:

A while after Aurora left with her mum Elio and Pansy decided that they did want to watch Aurora's movie, Maurice.

As we sat down on the couch Pansy spoke. "So, you guys don't mind people like Maurice and Clive?" Everyone shook their heads without even glancing at her. I knew why she was asking.

When the movie finished Blaise groaned loudly. "What?" Elio asked.

"That was dumb, wasn't it?" Blaise asked.

"The movie?! No it wasn't!" Pansy said.

"They didn't even end up together."

"So? I liked Alec better." Elio said. I rolled my eyes at the discussion. Instead I walked out of the living room to go use the restroom.

When I walked back into the living room, Aurora and Mrs. De Luca were back. Aurora and Blaise were arguing about the ending of the movie.

I sat down next to Mrs. De Luca. "Do they always bicker at each other like that?" she asked me. As I looked at them I realized that they actually do. All the time. They seem more like siblings than friends.

"They actually do." I said, amazed at the new realization.

After a while Elio asked about what time we're going into town. "We can go right now if you guys want to." Aurora said.

"You think they'd be there already?" Pansy asked.

"They were when my mum had me drive into town." she said.

"Are you going to get your license?" Elio asked.

"That's the plan. Mum gave me a textbook so I can take the written test in about two weeks."

On our way out of the house Elio told his mum that we're leaving. We decided we'd just walk today since we were in no rush.

"So, do you really not know any of their names?" Blaise asked Aurora. She was walking in front of us next to Pansy.

She turned around quickly and started walking backwards while facing us. "Actually I found out today." Pansy giggled at Aurora's enthusiastic behavior. "You guys ready?" She looked at all of us, but I noticed she didn't really pay any mind to me.

Everyone nodded so she started talking. "The girl with blond hair, that's Elsie. The one with brown hair is Amelia. The boy with kinda blond hair is Max. The dark skinned guy is Leo and the other one is Ezra." Everyone nodded in understanding.

When we got to the gas station a group of people our age were hanging around a car and they automatically spotted us.

"Them?" Elio asked. Aurora nodded her head and walked towards them. I stuck with staying next to Blaise.

"This is my brother, Elio." Aurora began introducing us. "That's Pansy, Draco, Theo and Blaise." Then she introduced them to us.

"You remembered our names." Elsie said. She seemed nice.

"Here." Ezra said to Aurora. He was holding out a cigarette towards her. She scrunched up her face and shook her head.

"It feels good once you get used to it." he said.

Everyone else started getting into a conversation so I couldn't hear what Aurora and Ezra were saying. I stopped trying to figure it out after a while and ended up spacing off.

After a half hour of everyone talking except me I went into the gas station store. Not sure for what, but just to get away for a bit.

I sat down on the floor at the back of the shop while I read a newspaper I had found on a shelf.
