Call it what you want {Theodore Nott}

chapter seventy-three

"You are not capable of doing this." He told her, sounding a lot more serious.

It felt like the hundredth time someone was telling her this and the burning desire to prove them wrong kept growing.

"You don't know that." She said and even she was surprised by her own words.

He shook is head slightly. "You've been here too long." He stated

"Well maybe you should have got here sooner." She bit back before turning around and heading back into the Manor.

She kicked her shoes off when she entered her room and didn't notice Theo walking out the bathroom.

She looked up and internally screamed when she saw him with just a towel around his waist.

She looked down as a blush crept across her face and pretended to be putting her shoes away. Theo noticed this and smirked to himself. "Are you okay?" He asked as he walked over to her wardrobe.

"Yeah, yeah just uh - didn't get any sleep last night." She told him, finally looking up. She saw him looking at her clothes then realised right away. "I don't think any of that is really your style." She joked as he was looking at all her dresses.

"As good as I'd look in all of these, I actually put my stuff in here too." He told her as a grin formed on his face. He pulled out the shortest black dress on its hanger and held it out. "Please tell me you plan on wearing this soon."

Amy just smiled at him as she walked over to the end of her bed and sat down. "Might save it for Voldermort's next visit." She joked. "Charm him out of making us kill Dumbledore."

His smile fell and he turned back to the wardrobe pulling out his own clothes.

Amy sighed and spoke up. "Have you spoken to Mattheo?"

"No." He replied straight away, grabbing clothes of his own.

"Theo, it's not his fault." She told him softly. "He didn't know what I was going to do."

"He could've done something about it." He said as he harshly closed the wardrobe door and walked back into the bathroom

"You don't actually believe that." She called out to him.

There was a moment of silence between the two until he walked back out of the bathroom fully dressed and pulling is shirt on. "No I don't." He admitted. "But I don't want to believe that you wanted this."

"If I really had this choice I would have wanted it to be none of us." She told him

"But you did have a choice." He said desperately. "You weren't meant to be caught up in this."

She was already pretty riled up after her conversation with Snape and she was fed up of people telling her that she shouldn't have done it.

"Well I am." She told him and her tone took him off guard slightly. "I made my choice so you didn't have to, ok? And as much as everyone hates it they just have to deal with it because there's nothing I can do to change it now."

She didn't meant to sound so angry but she couldn't help it. She had been going through enough stress about the task that had been given but it didn't help when the people she loved kept telling her how wrong she was.

Theo just looked away and Amy could tell that he was now thinking about everything he had said to her.

She felt bad for taken her anger out on him and watched him warily as he spoke.

"Well," he started. "At least you won't have to hang round with Potter anymore."

Amy just laughed at him as she knew that this was his way of accepting what she had done. "I didn't plan on doing that anyway."
