FLIRT, theodore nott

15

JULIETTE

I sat awkwardly beside Nott in Professor McGonagall's classroom. The injuries from the previous -- per se riffle -- were displayed on Theodore's face. His nose was bloody and his eye was bruised. 

"I understand you two are adolescents and have... erm temptations," McGonagall said uncomfortably, "but your -- er actions, were very inappropriate. Therefore you will be punished." She told us. I cringed at her use of words to describe our interactions. 

"As for you Miss Ravens, I couldn't pair you with Nott as your tutor as I was planning to, so every Saturday at four o'clock, you'll be meeting here with Harry Potter for your weekly tutoring session. I believe you remember our previous conversation on the matter?" McGonagall explained.

"Right," I sighed defeated.

"Now for you two, I expect you to clean all of the gunk and dirt off of this classroom without any magic," she held her hand out for both of us to give her our wands, which I complied.

"I left mine in the dorm," Nott explained.

 "Okay then, I will leave you two to it, I'll be back in an hour, expecting this classroom to look spotless," and she trotted out leaving the Nott and I unattended.

I stepped away and towards the water bucket and sponges. "We better get to work if we want to get this done." 

"You're actually planning on cleaning?" he stared at me disapprovingly, "Pfft, why don't I help you out a bit" he took out his 10-inch wand and mumbled a spell I didn't recognize. In seconds the classroom was gleaming.

"But McGonagall clearly stated," I tried to explain but he held a finger to my lips.

"Shh, what she doesn't know, won't hurt her."

"You seem to live by that saying" I mumbled for my own ears.

"What does that mean?" Nott questioned, clearly offended. He had no right to be. He was a spoiled, man-whore who would speak to any girl and they'd just drop their panties for him. I felt disgusted to be one of those girls.

"Let's recap, shall we?" I suggest rhetorically. "First you make it seem like you're into me, right? Then you ask out Greengrass, but she wasn't enough because you got Parkinson tangled into this mess, and continue to lure me into your little posse of sluts." I huff as I recap the last few months of my life at Hogwarts.

"You don't seem to complain," he says lowly and comes closer to me. He lifts my chin to meet his gaze, "I know you like how I make you feel."

I couldn't deny that, he did drive me crazy, but in a good, sexy sort of way. "Well, that's going to have to change."

"Listen, babe. I know you want all of my attention, but I'm in high demand," he chuckled as if this was common knowledge.

"You're such a bastard." I huffed.

"What's your problem with the way I live my life?" he questioned, somewhat aggressively.

"Because I don't want to be just a little hookup. I'm not a doll you can just play with, I'm a human being with feelings." I explain. He looks me up and down, seemingly evaluating the situation.

After a few moments of silence, he opens his mouth but then shuts it. He's speechless.

"Are you going to say something?" I can't handle the silence.

"You're really hot when you're angry," he smirks.

"You're kidding." I scoff and go to storm out of the classroom, but someone grasped my hand. I was pulled back into Theodore's arms. 

"Sweetheart, you can't leave yet. If McGonagall sees you gone you'll just be in even more trouble," he reasoned. 

I sighed and took a seat at a desk. We sat in awkward silence at two different desks. I didn't look at him, but I could feel his eyes piercing a hole in the side of my head. 

Finally, after almost twenty minutes, I turned to him. He didn't shy his gaze and instead locked eyes with me. I scanned his face. I got up and leaned on the desk he was occupying. "Listen, you're going to have to clean up these cuts," I traced his face with my thumb. "It's going to get infected."

"Whatever," he gently nudges my hand away from the injuries. "Why do you care?"

Why do I care? It didn't make sense to me. He tore me up and messed up my head, yet I still couldn't not care about his stupid face. He had some unmistakable charm that lured me in like a magnet. 

"I-I don't care," I stuttered, "it's just uhm--."

"Hmm," he smirked and quirked up an eyebrow. 

"Ugh," I groaned. "Unlike you, I'm a decent human being who cares about the well-being of others."

 "If I'm such a terrible person then why're you so obsessed with me?" 

"I am not obsessed with you," I say harshly. But was I obsessed with him? 

"I don't believe you" he placed his thumb under my chin and positioned my face to look straight into his eyes.

"Well, you should."

Then I leave. I left for the library where I knew Arabella would be. I know it was still weird with the Adrian thing, but everyone had their flaws. Fortunately, I found her sitting alone at one of the library's desks and reading a book on levitation. 

"Bella I need to tell you about this boy." I needed to get everything off of my chest about Theodore Nott.

"Is it about 'you know who'?" she raised her eyes suggestively.

"Yes, but, let me just explain."

So I did, and I told her everything about Nott and I, and everything that he's done. About Daphne, about Pansy, about everything. And gosh did it feel good to get that off of my chest. Once I finished speaking, I took a deep sigh and waited for her to say something.

"Woah," was her response, and honestly that's exactly how I felt.

"This guy has the nerve to do all that crazy shit and still speak to you like you're just some lousy slut begging for his attention," she expressed her opinion. "What a skank! Why don't you just drop his ass?"

"I can't, he's intoxicating." I couldn't explain the feeling I got when I was relevantly close to him. He made my body and mind do things they shouldn't.

"Fine, then you need to prove your worth. Show him you're not a toy." Arabella instructed. "You need to ignore him, no matter how hard it is. Avoid him at all costs, don't look at him, don't talk to him, don't even think about him." 

"Hmm, that's actually not a bad idea," I started to consider the idea. I had nothing else so this would do. "Kay, let's do this."

Bella shrieked in excitement.
