theodore was not petty, or at least, he ruminated that he was not. after all, it would be quite inconvenient to let an ex-girlfriend off the hook so quickly; more for his image than anything. he had gotten over the split with general ease, this was not a surprise to anyone as he was not exactly the most committal of young men. perhaps he was a free spirit, or was basely shit at maintaining commitments, that could not be said.

or at least, the assumption had been that he was not petty, till he showed up in front of you in the common room, leaning against the table you were studying on with an air of intended arrogance. he was wearing his school shirt due to just concluding his afternoon charms class, his green and sliver tie was loose around his neck. "i want you to be my date for the party in the dungeon common room tonight." theodore stated once he had gotten your attention, his characteristically empty eyes focused squarely on you.

he had an air of apathy about him, however his ulterior motive was clear. and inevitably, it was not only to take you to the party.

"--non è un grosso problema," he added, tapping his fingers on the wood of the table idly, before withdrawing his hand and slipping it back to rest in his pocket. "i want to get back at daphne. she is adamant about flashing that new cad who is with her out of pity." spite, or an emotion close to it, was evident in his tone. yet he had come to you, surely that meant something.
