Dearer than I?

(Theodore Nott x OC) Harry Potter fanfiction
Eloise Adaline Parker, a kind-hearted Hufflepuff born a muggle-born, finds herself drawn to the enigmatic Theodore Nott, a Pureblood Slytherin with a mysterious allure. Despite the boundaries of house rivalries and blood status, their connection transcends the norms of the wizarding world.

As they navigate the complexities of love in a time of turmoil, Eloise and Theodore must confront the prejudices and challenges that threaten to tear them apart. From clandestine meetings beneath the moon in quiet corridors to stolen glances across the Great Hall, their romance blooms in secret, a fragile flower in the midst of chaos, not to be accepted by anyone.

But as dark forces loom on the horizon and the wizarding world teeters on the brink of war, Eloise and Theodore must decide if their love is worth fighting for. Will they defy the conventions of their society and forge a future together, or will the weight of tradition and expectation tear them asunder?
