IF

Everyone fears Theodore Nott. The quiet Slytherin never smiles, never speaks unless he has to, and never lets anyone get close. Until Y/N. A simple school project forces them together, but what starts as reluctant partnership soon turns into late-night conversations, stolen glances, and feelings neither of them expected. As rumors spread through Hogwarts and dangerous secrets threaten to come to light, Theodore must decide whether keeping his distance is worth losing the only person who’s ever truly understood him. They say silence speaks louder than words… But what happens when the boy who never talks falls for the one girl he can’t stop thinking about?
