Everyone at Hogwarts knew Theodore Nott. He was charming when he wanted to be, confident without trying, and almost always surrounded by the same group of Slytherins—Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini, Pansy Parkinson, and the rest of their circle. Theodore was also known for never taking anything seriously when it came to relationships. He flirted. He joked. He made people think they were special. Then, sooner or later, he moved on. That was simply Theodore. Until Y/N. Y/N wasn’t impressed by his reputation. She didn’t chase him, laugh at every joke, or care that half the school seemed fascinated by him. And somehow, that bothered Theodore more than it should have. At first, he treated Y/N like another person he could charm. But she didn’t fall for it. So Theodore tried harder. Then harder. Until one day he realized something terrifying: He wasn’t trying to win her attention anymore. He actually wanted it.
