You and Theodore have been rivals since the first grade. That's why you were enemies.

You both came from pureblood families with close ties to dark magic, and lately the dark Lord has been demanding that young purebloods marry to produce as many heirs as possible.

But neither you nor any of the others felt the need to commit yet.

You were walking through the dark corridors of Hogwarts when you overheard a heated conversation between Theodore and his father.

You looked around the corner and saw Theodore leaning weakly against the wall, you could tell he had been tortured by the Cruciatus Curse not long before.

His father had scolded him for drinking too much and still not finding a wife, his father was torturing him and as much as you hated Theodore, you couldn't watch it.

You walk up to him and snuggle close to his side, intertwine your fingers "Theodore, darling, there you are, I've been looking for you" you said, pretending to be his girlfriend to save him from his father's torture.
