WALLFLOWER - Theodore Nott

DUMBLEDORES SPEECH

ELIZABETHS POV:
When i got to my dorm i saw Pansy, Daphne and Astoria sleeping. at least that's what i thought. I changed into my pjs when somebody hugged me tightly. It was Pansy and i hugged her back. "Where were you? You werent at dinner" she asked me.

"on the astronomy tower."
"did you saw Theo he was looking for you?"
"oh um no." "he was looking for me?" i thought to myself. i talked with Pansy for some time but my mind were only focused on one thing. "Theo" i thought to myself.

Pansy snapped her fingers in my face. "What's wrong?" she asked.

"i'm just tired" it wasnt a complete lie. i was a little tired but when i went to sleep i couldnt fall asleep for atleast one hour. my mind where only focused on one thing. theo.
The next morning Pansy woke me up and we all went to the great hall to eat breakfast. i dont think that i was ever more anxious in my whole life then i was now. There i saw the whole friend group and said hi to them except Theo. He came a little late just in time for Dumbledores speech.

"very best of mornings to you all. first of let me introduce the newest member of our staff Horace Slughorn. im happy to say that professor Horace Slughorn has agreed to resume his old post as potion master. meanwhile the post of defence against the dark arts will be taken by professor snape. now i think that you all have a right to know that... once there was a young man, who like you sat in this very hall, walked this castles corridors, stepped under its roof. he seem to all the world a student like any other, his name... Tom Riddle."

i froze. the hall filled with whispers as dumbledore said that name.

"today of course he is known all over the world by another name. which is why as i stand looking out upon you all tonight, im reminded of a sobering fact. every day every hour this very minute perhaps, dark forces attempt to penetrate this castles walls. in the end their greatest weapon is you. just something to think about."

i cant do this. i ran out of the hall. it became harder and harder to breath. i ran on to the astronomy tower hoping nobody would see me there. i tried to calm down my breathing while shaking and sweating like crazy. what is happening. it wasn't the first time i had a panic attact but it was the first time that it was this bad. i was so focused on my breathing that i haven't even noticed theodore standing behind me. he quickly sat down next to me and put his hands on my shoulders. i would usually feel disgusted by people seeing me like this but for some weird reason i felt absolutelly fine by theo being here. "breath. come on. in... and out" he said to me. i tried to make my breathing to be like his. in... out... in... out... over some time my breathing finally went back to normal and i quickly wiped awaz my tears. "thank you" i mumbled. "no problem" he replied. we sat there in awkward silence until he finally broke it. "what happened Lizzie" i always loved how he called me Lizzie. he was the only person to do so and i couldnt be more happy when he calls me that. a small smile apeared on my face but i tried to hide it. yes there are other people who give me nicknames like El or Elly but all of them know better than to call me Lizzie. it was a thing between me and theo.

"forget about it" i said coldly and stood up. i hated being mean to others but now i just cant help it. i could see the hurt in his eyes. but i couldnt bring myself to say anything else to him.

THEODORES POV

i could see the little smile on her face when i called her lizzie. i know that she loves it but doesnt want to show it so i just continue always calling her that. i have been worried sick about her and the only thing she can say to me is ˝forget about it˝ how could i forgot about that. i can see that she lost a lot a weight and i know damn well why... mattheo told me when we were in our dorm yesterday but im not planning on mentioning it to her untill she does. i want to hug her tightly, i want to break down in front of her and ask her why she is doing that do herself, but i can't. she stood up i also quickly followed her actions. "bye theodore". theodore? THEODORE?! why would she call me that. she always called me theo just like all of our other friends. when she is in a good mood she would even call me teddy. but theodore. never. i was so lost in my thoughts that i havent even notice tha she left.

ELIZABETHS POV

i felt terrible after saying that. i walked down the stairs of the astronomy tower trying to hold back my tears. i ran to my dorm and closed the door behing me. i slid down the door and broke down. it took me a while to notice that pansy was watching me. she sat down next to me and hugged me tightly.
