Nott in love

7

A few days after the strange incident in which she had caught Theo Wanking and she had been caught watching, the two of them had upped the ante on their budding friendship... or whatever it was that was happening between them. Theo was trying to be professional for the most part but would alternate between that and flirting like he couldn't really make up his mind on which he would prefer. To keep things above board or do what he seemed more interested in and pursue her romantically.

In all truth, she wasn't entirely sure which she wanted more either. Keeping things professional would likely be the smarter option but, the thought of him wanting her was intoxicating. Despite her insistence that he call her Ginny he still called her Miss. Weasley or Ginevra, which she hated and loved in equal measure. Hating her name the way she did but loving the way it rolled off his tongue made her thighs clench.

Her reaction only seemed to be fuel to his fire because once he saw her blush at his use of her full first name he stubbornly kept doing it.

They had only truly known each other for two weeks so it seemed a bit much to be seeking more from someone she barely knew but, she wanted to get to know him and even though things had escalated, she kept seeking him out for company. She needed some other friends, so when she got a letter from Harry asking if she had a good place to stay for a weekend visit for five guests, she went in search of Theo again.

Harry's letter expressly said he was bringing Hemione which wasn't a shock but when he said Pansy Parkinson, Blaise Zabini and Draco Malfoy were joining them both she was shocked. Of course she knew Harry had become friendly with Malfoy because of his sorting into Slytherin and being bunked with him but Ginny got the impression from the tone of Harry's letters that he and Draco were more than friendly.

Knowing Theo would be in his office that day because of some paperwork she made her way there. She had to double back a few times but eventually made it to the door and knocked loudly even though the door was cracked open.

Theo had been elbows deep in legal forms for his estate in Spain. He had not realized how bad some of the Nott estates had fallen into squalor, this latest estate having been abandoned for so long it had infestations of creatures and cursed rooms that had festered, all of which needed to be taken care of properly and professionally. Which meant a lot of forms.

He heard the knock at his door and jumped a little at the sudden disruption of his concentration.

"Enter!" He called, not knowing who it was as he was not expecting any meetings today, although if he forgot it was probably Ginny's fault. Distracting as she was.

"Hey, what would you say to have a few weekend guests here at the chateau?" Ginevra asked as she strode in. Theo was still processing her appearance so it took a while for her words to register. He had not seen her at breakfast that morning, busy with work, she was wearing jeans and a thin jumper and Theo noticed that her figure was just as tantalizing as it was in a sun dress.

"Who would these guests be? Are your parents visiting?" Theo asked thinking that perhaps they were coming to check on their daughter. A thought occurred to him then when he thought of her family checking in on her. "How many people will be visiting?"

"No, it's not my parents but in total six people. Harry and Hermione are coming with Pansy Parkinson, Blaise Zabini and Draco Malfoy. Considering they are your friends I thought I'd ask you instead of suggesting somewhere else." She explained. Harry Potter would make a good impression as a customer and it would be good to see his friends again, it had been far too long.

"Oh, yeah I have room for them. Obviously. You can let him know he would be welcome here, all of them and their Death eater or Savior status won't be a bother. Potter won't find himself swarmed if he stays here, unlike other places." Theo offered.
