you were absolutely plastered, sprawled out on one of the couches in the slytherin common room, which was illuminated by the green lights of the party going on around you

in the armchair next to you lay theodore nott, whom you shared a friend group with, the amounts of firewhiskey he had downed this evening catching up to him as he gazed over at you with half-lidded eyes the look of adoration for you showed just how drunk he was

after various attempts to down a glass of water, you felt the nausea creep up on you and stood up shakily, stumbling slightly as you made your way to the bathroom

even though he was hardly as close with you as he was with the rest of your shared friend group, he got up slowly, almost tipping over into pansy parkinson, despite the lack of speed

combing his dirty blond hair with his fingers he made his way through the crowd of dancing students to the small corridor that lead away from the loud music and the nauseating lights

his head was buzzing loudly from all the noise inside the commonroom, and the silence out in the hallway almost felt suffocating to him as he ran his hand along the cold stone walls in order to keep his balance

theo was losing his last grip on sanity, his thoughts getting all messed up as he tried to make out where you'd went

he couldnt just let a pretty girl like you leave to the bathroom without anybody there to make sure you were okay

of course he knew who you were; enzo's cousin, present at almost every party he threw, and in his year, in his astrology class. he knew who you were, he'd noticed you, that much he had to admit

leaning against the doorframe of the bathroom you'd just escaped to he let his head tip to the side

"this is the boys bathroom, amore", his eyes were half-lidded and his already-dead eyes appeared to be staring into pure nothingness as he mustered a teasing grin
