Closer | A Theo Nott Enemies to Lovers Story

Woo

"Blaise! Blaise! Come quick!"

My mother voice, dancing with light as she called for my brother.

"What? You act like shouting will help you find me in this place."

Sarcasm riddled in his voice, although he was right.

Hogwarts is massive.

"Blaise, do you think we'll be placed in Slytherin?"

I questioned, a hint of curiosity lingered.

"Seriously? Where else."

Blaise scoffs as if he was offended I even asked that question.

Rolling my eyes we continue wandering the castle with our mother. Soon this will be mine and Blaise's home for a while.

I smile to myself as we begin to descend down the stairs to leave.

"Oi Blaise!"

There he was, Theodore Nott. I have always longed for whenever he was coming over, he's so dreamy.

"Sweetheart, you're drooling."

My mother jokes, catching me staring at the beautiful boy before me.

"Go on, go play with him."

She gives me a reassuring smile and a small shove.

I was never nervous to hangout with him since he came over quite often so this will be a piece of cake.

"Heyyy Theo!"

Throwing my arm around his shoulder.

As Theo began to form a sentence we turn our attention to the loud group of first years from behind us.

"Ooooh, looks like Nott has got himself a girlfriend!"

One of the first years point at us.

I, along with Theo, grew red.

"An ugly one at that too!"

Another one said.

Ouch.

Theo hesitated for a moment then swiftly threw my arm right off of him, throwing me to the ground as well.

"Troll, never step foot near me again."

Theo's tone was so spiteful but also, hesitant, as if he didn't want to say it.

That didn't matter, what he said hurt whether he meant it or not.

"Theo...what?"

Tears pricked up in the corners of my eyes as my jaw shook at every word that left my mouth.
The group of first years laugh, inviting Theo over to hangout.

I watch as Theo walks with them, leaving me on the ground, only looking back to laugh.

"CEDRIC DIGGORY IS THE FIRST TO SAVE THEIR VICTIM!"

Gasping for air, I realize where I was, I was in the black lake just then.

Cedric helps me swim to the platform as we were both greeted by the entire Hufflepuff house, along with a few supporters.

"Here you go, it'll warm you up!"

Taking the towel from the girl above.

"Thank you, I-"
