Just - Theodore Nott

⁂𝐏𝐈𝐒𝐒 𝐎𝐅𝐅⁂

Lucian Bole and Adrian Pucey were both snickering in the corner of the library with a few of their other friends. Short-sleeved tops meant the scars from Voldemort and Bellatrix were very visible.

"Fucking assholes" i mumbled angrily as I stared at them, gripping my quill which Aliyah stopped me from almost breaking. "It's fine, I don't really care, let them laugh" she rolled her eyes, but I didn't let it pass.

"I'm serious, Leah, if they whisper something else about you I'm going to absolutely fucking lose it", She chuckled "Theo, really, I couldn't give a shit less, I have more important things to do other than make fun of others" she said that sentence loud enough for them to hear.

They just giggled like the idiots they are and whispered something else to each other with a laugh. I stood up to go start a fight, but she simply gripped my hand "Calm down, we'll just leave"

She gathered her stuff and we left to study in the common room. "You heard her, go somewhere else" Adrian teased. I wanted to punch him in the face, but she stopped me again "Don't, Theo. Really immature of you two, by the way, how are your grades doing? Under the average as usual I might suspect" she snapped back at them

About an hour after studying, I made sure Aliyah couldn't find me as I left to search for Adrian and Lucian, finding them outside in the garden. "Aww, Theo, calm down, listen to your little girlfriend" Lucian mocked.

"You think it's funny to make fun of her?" I almost lost it. "I mean..." Adrian chuckled "have you looked at her properly? She's a freak" Sorry?

"What did you just say?" I raised a brow. "Said she was a freak, it's nothing but the truth" Lucian repeated, and he crossed his arms. I was out of it.

I punched him hard in the face and he stumbled backwards "What the fuck's wrong with you?!" Yelled Adrian, who I punched next, making his mouth bleed. Lucian was back on his feet and punched me.

I kicked him and turned to Adrian, punching him in the face again and Lucian punched me in the stomach. I attacked him with a kick to the balls, earning me a kick in the back of the knees from Adrian. I fell to my knees but used it as an advantage to punch him in the chin.

The boy stumbled backwards and Lucian got off the ground just in time to punch me in the face and I held my now bleeding nose in pain "You piece of shit!" I groaned, elbowing him in the hip.

By now, a crowd had formed around us, watching the scene unfold as we fought. I punched Adrian as he was on the ground relentlessly "You never talk about her again, you understand?!" I yelled. Lucian attacked me from behind, pulling my hair to move my head back and punching me.

I got off the ground and pinned Lucian to the tree beside us, kicking him in the stomach just as Adrian managed to kick me. "Fuck!" I fell to the ground, groaning.

They smirked "Not so strong now are you, Nott?" Adrian punched me in the eye. Lucian attempted to kick me, but I caught his leg in time and dragged him onto the ground.
I stumbled up and held Adrian by the collar "You don't know what I can do if I really want to" i uttered.

I was about to swing at him again, before Marcus held Adrian back and George held me back as well. "You alright, mate?" He asked, "Piss off" I got out of his grip and stormed off to the first place I thought of — Aliyah's dorm.

I knocked on her dorm door, "It's open!" She said, and I walked in. "Hey, Theo- " she looked up from her book, her gaze worrying as she saw my state. All bloody and beaten up.

"My fucking merlin, what happened?!" She dragged me into her bathroom. I sat on the counter as she brought out a first-aid kit and began to clean my face with a wet rag. "Go on, explain yourself!"

"Bole and Pucey were talking shit about you, beat them up both" i groaned as she began to put antiseptic on my open injuries. "Seriously, Theo? I told you to ignore them, why'd you make a big deal out of it?"

"Sorry" I chuckled. "I appreciate you did that Theo, but fights are not the answer to everything" she remarked. "Mhm".

She bandaged up my nose and placed a cold, wet towel on my bruised eye. "Hands", "Yes ma'am" I put my blistered hands into hers that she started to clean up. I winced at the burning sensation, squeezing her hand. "Relax, the pain'll be over in a minute"

My other hand made its way into her hair, bringing her closer "Theo you do realize kissing won't make the pain go away" she chuckled, "does for me"
