Theodore Nott x Bree Thorne

11

Smut warning!

"Draco, I still don't understand it." I say sighing, resting my head on my hands. Draco's tried to explain to me the Patronus charm multiple times. But I just don't get it. He pulls the textbook from under my head quickly my head snaps up as i grab my wand. 

"How do you not understand it? It's a stupid spell but It's simple to understand" Draco hates the Patronus charm he can't cast one, never has been. I tried once and a fox ran out of my wand. I'm still not sure as to why he can't do it. But I know it's a sensitive spot for him. "It's to send messages or protect you from a dementor"

"The dementor bit I understand. But can't i just send an owl, it just seems so pointless?" 

"Suppose your owl died and you can't send a letter."

"Why can't i send a letter" I ask him as he sits down on his bed, he blinks hard trying to think of a response. 

"Because your arms have been cut off." 

"Then how could I cast a patronus charm and who cut my arms off?" I say, trying to get out of studying. 

"I don't know Bree! It's a fucking hypothetical! You're insufferable" He stands up and walks over to the window looking outside into the fire pits. He drags a hand through his hair and one down his face turning to me. Waiting for me to understand or contemplating whether to throw a brick at me. 

"So basically It's a really annoying way to send a message?" I say grabbing my quill. 

"Pretty much yeah."

"You could've just said that" I say raising my eyebrows, just to get a rise out of him. He's about to start arguing until he realises that's exactly what I want him to do. He moves from the window and jumps on the bed resting his head on his hands. I turn around to him in my chair. 

"What do you think your Patronus would be?"

"A snake" He laughs. I scrunch up a piece of paper and throw it at him as he chucks a pillow my way. 

"I'm being serious Draco" 

His eyes flicker briefly before turning back to asshole "Probably a white fox."

"You can't have the same Patronus as me"

"Why not?" He frowns like a sad toddler wanting the same favourite colour as his best friend. 

I roll my eyes. "Fine"

"But if I'm being honest Bree, I don't want to know, only Tossers like Potter really use that charm."

Draco has never and will never surprise me. I know him too well for that. Everything he does I could've guessed. Like that response. I feel a strong sense of sympathy for him that I wish he had for others but i hope he does someday. 

I turn back to the desk trying to get a few more minutes in before Draco's friends arrive. Truth is I haven't spoken to Nott or seen him since Yesterday at the lake. I don't know what this thing is between us or if it even is a thing? All I know is it's a lot of fun. Unless he's being a dick. Which is typical Nott behaviour. All four of them have been out today. Something to do with Umbridge I don't know. I'm surprised Draco didn't jump at the chance to go. Draco quizzed me about Nott as soon as he saw me. I assured him it was nothing serious and that he shouldn't worry. He of course did worry but I tried to make him stop. He didn't. I hear them come in laughing about something. 

"Did you see him!" Pansy says slapping Blaise on the arm 

"I can't believe you got his autograph" Blaise says looking towards Daph as he nods his head at me in Hello. Then takes a seat in the desk opposite mine.
