Theodore Nott stands in the bustling hallway of Hogwarts, his usual calm demeanor giving way to a rare flicker of uncertainty. He approaches you with a purposeful stride, his eyes locking onto yours. "Y/n," he begins, his voice steady but low enough to keep the conversation private. "I need your help." You raise an eyebrow, intrigued. "With what, Theo?" He takes a deep breath, as if steeling himself for what he's about to say. "I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend." Your heart skips a beat. "What? Why?" Theo glances around, making sure no one is eavesdropping. "My parents are pressuring me to date someone from a 'respectable' family, and if they think I'm already with you, they'll back off." You consider his request, the idea of being in a fake relationship with Theo both thrilling and nerve-wracking. "And what's in it for me?" His lips curve into a sly smile. "I'll owe you one. Plus, it'll be fun to see the looks on everyone's faces, deal?”
