Luna Mia || Theodore Nott

Chapter: 7

The rest of the week went on, and other than potter passing out in our DADA class because his boggart was dementors, there weren't any more trouble. The students seemed to like dad which i knew would happen, cause come on who wouldn't. That is until friday. I finished my first three sessions, and after lunch I headed to my History of magic class. I was a bit nervous because neither Katie nor Elle shared this class with me. I entered the classroom and sat in the back of the class. Most of the students were planning to sleep through out the session or chat with their friends who sat next to them, as not only was this the most boring class but also our teacher was a literal ghost who didn't really care if we payed attention, or didn't really notice, I don't know which.

" Can I sit here?" I was startled, not expecting anyone to approach me as I know none of the students in this class.  I was more shocked to see Nott already  placing his stuff on my desk.

" uhm... yeah sure" although I'm pretty sure he didn't need my permission as he was already sitting next to me.

"I don't know anyone in this classroom, I mean other than you, and I suppose we're considered friends right?" Was he attempting small talks with me? Or is it my imagination.
"Yeah same here, and I think so. Yeah we are friends." Friends, me and Nott.

The professor was already explaining the most boring story, something about the medieval assembly of European wizards. I already wanted this to end.

"This is so boring " Nott whined beside me.
"Very boring indeed "
"So, your father is Professor Remus Lupin" He said it more like a statement than a question.
"Well I see someone has been asking around" I teased.
He looked at me, a hint of amusement  crossed his eyes.
"Yeah actually, and I got my fair share of information"
Well he certainly is a bold one, I can't reply to that.
After a long boring while of silence, half listening to the professor, Nott spoke again.

"It's only been 5 minutes and it already feels like a lifetime. Are you planning on actually listening to him?" He huffed
"What am I supposed to do?"
"I'm pretty sure time would pass quicker if we weren't so silent."
"You said you already know quite a bit about me, what am I supposed to talk about?" I rubbed it in his face.
"Oh come on, you can atleast be polite and try to talk to me. Pretty sure you want to know me more"
"No that's not-"
"We both know my charming looks and demeanour are unresistable so hush"

I was speechless, staring at him while he smirked. That smug butthole.
"Well you seem to only call me by Nott, so my name is Theodore if you didn't catch it. They mostly call me Theo though. You probably heard of my father as well, Thuban Nott, he's known in the wizarding world."

I did in fact hear about his father. Just like Malfoy's, Lucius, Thuban Nott was allegedly working for You Know Who under the effects of the Imperius curse during the first wizarding war. My father had told me that most of these people were cleared but were not innocent, and I wondered if his dad was one of those. I noted that, keeping it in mind to be careful around Nott. After all I don't know him that good, hell not at all. My father would be disappointed if he knew I was chatting with the son of a You Know Who's follower, actually all the Slytherins I've had dinner with were associated to him some way or another. But deep down, I knew that they were not what their family names draw them out to be. Elle said it before, and I saw it during dinner. They were different, they were actual teens, just like us, each with their own self and personality, and I didn't want their house or family to define my opinion on them. Everyone deserves a chance, and I was going to give Nott a chance to know the true him.

And so we spent the whole period chatting, each asking the other  random questions. It was realy fun, getting to know him more, and he was actually a funny person with alot of good jokes. It was really amusing how different he is from what he looks to a stranger, and I was so happy I did take this chance to know him more.

Time passed by real quick, and the bell rang as the calss was done.
"Well it was nice knowing you more Nott" I said sweetly.

"It was fun talking to you Lupin" and he then left, while I stood there staring after him, because I could swear I just saw Nott simle genuinely for the first time.
