The House of Emerald Serpents | Theodore Nott

25- Lovely

TW: Alcohol abuse and mentions self harm

Elaine and Theo went back to the house after their confessions toward each other. They knew they would be too distracted to do much in class. 

When everyone is back at the end of the day, they make they announcement that they are officially together. The girl freaked out and nearly tackled them both to the ground. Blaise and Draco gave their congratulations from afar, not wanting to be a part of the love fest. 

"Oh Theo, I have to go pick up Ralph. You wanna come?"

"Of course", Theo knew that in the future Ralph would most likely be his little brother in law and he just wanted to see him right now. He loved that he would get the opportunity to be a sort of older brother figure to Ralph. 

Ralph couldn't have been more excited to see his sister and his Theo. Stacy was more than thrilled when she saw that Elaine and Theo were holding hands, meaning they had finally gotten together. 

She was a bit jealous though, she had never seen someone quite as attractive as Theo Nott. The way he looked at Elaine made her realize she never once had a chance. He is smitten. 

"I think we should have sweets for dinner tonight," Ralph suggests to his sister. 

"Oh really?"

"Yup, and we can watch movies!"

The cuteness was cut short by a scoff. The three of them look to see parents picking up their child. The mother seethed in Ralphs direction. 

"Can we help you?" Elaine defends immediately. 

The father speaks up. 

"I just don't think you should be bringing him around here," he nods in Theo's direction. "It's bad enough that you're a McCracken, you don't need your little brother having a Nott as a role  model," he spits. 

Theo stands up straight, marching towards this man.

"I advise you to stop speaking poorly about my girlfriend and her family. If your grimy little child wasn't watching I would hex you into the next century".

"I would have you locked up in an instant, if you mess up at all Nott. It would be so easy," the man says lowly.

"I'm not my father, and those two are not the rest of their family. We know this, now I suggest you leave me and my family alone or we will have some issues."

"Family, they are not you're family," the man chuckles almost a little nervous.

"They are, so are the Malfoys, Greengrass's, Parkinson's and Zabini's. If you ever disrespect any of them again, you'll have a Nott after you. We both know that won't end well for you, yeah?"

The man was scared of Theo, even though he would never admit it. There was something about him when he was angry that made him so terrifying. The man simply nods, going back to his wife and kid.

Theo turns to Elaine who was clearly trying to distract Ralph from the situation. She smiles up at him weakly. 

"Don't worry bout him or anyone else, ok? No one can mess with you while I'm around".

"Thanks Theo" she mumbled softly.

Theo leaned over, kissing her head gently, "Let's go home baby".

The three went to the house expecting to have a relaxing night but instead they were greeted with a very stressed out Blaise.

"What's going on?" Elaine asks as Ralph runs off to go read with Draco on the couch.
