at a young age, theo's beloved mother was killed by his own father.

his father was known to be a death eater by everyone in his year, and it killed him to have such a reputation. it killed him that he was supposed to follow in his own fathers footsteps to become a powerful death eater one day.

this made a lot of people scared of him, claiming he was just as violent as his father was. but the little boy that only cared about his mother wasn't a scary human being at all, in fact he was more scared himself.

he was scared of going home for the holidays. when his father would take out his anger on him with punishments. he was scared that he would come back with more explainable scars all over his body. he had trained himself to be tough about it, not emotional. that was the only way to get through it.

there was one girl who wasn't scared, more curious about him and wanted to know more. so when she saw him go up to the astronomy tower alone one night, late, she secretly followed behind.
