My Love // Theo Nott

fifty two

All throughout the game I was moving nonstop, never stopping. If I did I would always nearly get hit by a bludger. I didn't score at all. My main goal was to keep the quaffle away from our goalposts.

We never got really ahead of Gryffindor with points. Whenever we'd get ahead they would catch up and vice versa. We were already more than an hour into the game and it started getting boring with the same stuff happening.

"Aurora!" I turned my head, but I didn't get to see who had called me because I was a split second away from getting hit in the head with a bludger. I ducked really low and when I finally steadied myself again high into the air I noticed everyone staring at Harry and Draco. No doubt racing each other for the snitch. They were so fast that I could barely even see them pass me by.

The game continued while the rest of us playing tried to ignore the obvious competition in getting the snitch between Harry and Draco. As we were trying not to look their way we heard sudden yells in the crowd indicating that someone had caught the snitch.

When I looked for the two boys that had been racing, I realized that the gryffindor side of the stands were the ones cheering.

Draco was already on his way towards the changing rooms and when I looked around for the rest of my teammates I realized they were also flying towards the ground to the changing rooms too.

When I landed on the ground I raced toward them, but not before giving Harry a small smile. "See you at the Gryffindor common room!" he called out. I nodded my head quickly and made my way towards the changing room.

Maybe it's because I had played and lost that I don't feel like partying with the people that beat me.

As I walked into the main room outside the changing rooms I saw Draco taking off his gloves and robe roughly. "You good?" I asked hesitantly.

"You're going to their fucking party?" Draco turned on me. I backed away due to the sudden closeness.

"No." I said.

He laughed bitterly and gestured to everyone in the room. "We all heard Potter, Aurora. I saw you agree." Draco said angrily. I backed away a bit more until I hit the wall, but Draco was too mad to realize I was starting to get uncomfortable.

"Okay, back off, Draco." Theo got up from his spot on a chair. Draco glared at me one last time before he left to get changed.

The rest of our teammates followed after Draco except Theo and Blaise.

"I wasn't going to go with Harry. I swear it." I said to the boys.

"Seems like you were." Blaise said. I shook my head at him. "I'm going with-" he looked at Theo as his eyes widened suddenly. "Uh... sorry, nevermind."

"She won't tell anyone." Theo told Blaise teasingly. Blaise left to get changed and left Theo and I alone.

"Who's he going with?" I asked curiously.

"His little girlfriend." Theo smiled at the thought of teasing Blaise.

"Girlfriend?!" I asked in complete shock. Theo laughed at me. "Are you the only one that knows?" I asked.

"Yep."

"Well, are you going to tell me?"

"Nope." I stared at him for a full 30 seconds with a straight face before his easy smile had my lips tugging up in the corners of my mouth.

"Fine. I'll just ask him myself." I said. "You're not mad at me though?" I asked hesitantly.

"No, as long as you spend the rest of the day with me." Theo said as he draped his arm around my shoulders.
