Slytherin Boys x Y/N Short Stories/Reacts

You've been in an Accident - Theodore Nott

Theo was in the Slytherin common room, lost in thought as he scribbled notes for an upcoming Potions essay. A tapping sound at the window broke his concentration, and he looked up to see an unfamiliar owl.

With a frown, he untied the letter and read it. His blood ran cold.

"Theodore,
Y/N was in an accident and has been taken to St. Mungo's. Please come as soon as you can."

The letter slipped from his fingers, fluttering to the ground as he stood abruptly. He didn't bother explaining himself to anyone as he left the common room, his thoughts consumed by worry.

Theo wasn't one to panic outwardly, but inside, he was a storm of emotions. As he made his way to the hospital, he replayed every conversation they'd had recently, wondering if he'd missed something—if there was anything he could've done to prevent this.

When he arrived, he was quiet but determined, his sharp mind focused on finding out exactly what had happened. He wouldn't rest until he knew she was safe.

Theo sat stiffly beside Y/N, his usual composure strained. He couldn't bring himself to look directly at her at first, the sight of her injuries making his chest ache.

After a few moments, he reached out hesitantly, his hand brushing hers.

"You're tougher than this, you know," he said softly, his voice carrying a rare warmth. "You've got all of us out there acting like lunatics, waiting for you to wake up. Blaise is being impossible. Even Mattheo hasn't stopped pacing for hours."

He let out a shaky laugh, his fingers tightening around hers. "I... I don't know what I'd do if you didn't pull through this. So you'd better wake up soon. I'm not good at this emotional stuff, but... I care about you, Y/N."

Theo was still holding Y/N's hand when he felt her fingers twitch. His head shot up, his heart pounding.

"Y/N?" he said softly, leaning closer.

Her eyelids fluttered open, and she gave him a faint smile. "Hey, Theo," she murmured. "You look like you haven't slept."

Theo let out a shaky laugh, his grip on her hand tightening. "Don't worry about me. I'm just glad you're awake."

He leaned back, his usual cool demeanor slipping as a wide smile spread across his face. "You scared us all, you know. But you're going to be fine. You're too stubborn not to be."
