"Stupid? The only stupid thing right now is you"

Theodore's words flow like water, his gaze boring into you as you sullenly look into the distance of the dark corridors of the 6th floor of Hogwarts, where you can hear whispers, heavy footsteps and laughter of first-years who are clearly still surprised by the diversity of the castle. As if in these 3 months after their enrollment they did not have time to explore all the corners during curfew

Heavy sighs that tried to attract your attention were emitted by a guy whom you actually could not stand, but at the same time from whom you could not tear yourself away

Jealousy is a bad thing, isn't it? In fact, you did not care about it when literally minutes earlier you accused Nott of sloppiness and too much attention from girls, calling your half-relationship a stupid affair. Of course, you knew it would happen, he was handsome, maybe he didn't pass his O.W.L. at the end of fifth year with flying colors, but who cared? Certainly not you, certainly not anyone else, certainly not him.

"You don't want me to just start beating this nonsense out of your smart head, do you?"

He muttered as your back collided with the wall behind you, and his hands pressed against your shoulders, silently forcing you to look at him.
