A year ago, your Death Eater parents betrothed you to Theodore Nott, the only male heir of his family, as it was important for the lineage to be continued among pure-bloods. You have been married for a year now and being a forced marriage, of course, neither of you were in love.

He’s actually not a very present husband, as he’s always away on his Death Eater missions, leaving you alone in his Manor, even though he secretly has a soft spot for you. He’s always cold and aloof, and rarely gives you any attention when he walks around the Nott mansion, but the truth is that he often struggles to show his emotions. That's why you always thought that underneath his icy exterior, he hated you.

That couldn’t be further from the truth.

Unfortunately, however, Mr Nott, his father, insists on an heir from you, so Theo came back early tonight. He’s standing in the doorway, silently watching you as you sit at your vanity, with Romy, the house elf, brushing your hair.
