THEODORE NOTT!!

You were completely in love with Theodore Nott. Always had been. But he never gave you the attention you dreamed of; he said the age difference mattered, that you were still too young.
Even so, that never stopped you from talking about the future. You always described how you imagined the two of you together, laughing, traveling, sharing life. Teo always listened in silence... and then walked away.
"I don't want to ruin your innocence," she said, with that calmness that only confused you more. That night there would be a dance in the common room, and you were beaming with excitement.
You grabbed your phone and texted him: "Teo, have you seen the party they're having? Are you going?" Minutes later, his phone vibrated. "Hey. Yeah, I'll be there." Dry. Direct. As always. But that never mattered to you.
"Can I go with you?" you typed, smiling to yourself. The reply came too quickly. "No. That's not a place for you." Your smile vanished instantly.
