Just You And Me [Theodore nott]

Dear Puppy

Snape came running with Dumbledore and McGonagall at his side 

" miss black did you happen to have conjured the Patronus ?" Dumbledore asked raising his eyebrows 

" yes," Cassiopeia said in a monotone voice

 " oh dear child you are bleeding let's go-to Madam Pomfrey," McGonagall said examining Cassiopeia's face, as she nodded

 " he's not guilty professor, Pettigrew ran away I saw him with my own eyes and the dark mark on his forearm" Dumbledore looked at her 

" I know Cassiopeia dear, but I can't trust a 13-year-old's statement against Severus and dementors, I have called your father he'll be in my office and will visit you in the hospital wing, we are going to levitate Mr. Potter and Mr black too " Dumbledore looked at Cassiopeia with a smile 

" Mr. Nott and Mr. Malfoy have been eating mine and Severus's brain off asking about, please do tell them you are okay " Cassiopeia nodded and made her way to the hospital wing with McGonagall.

" Come child let me see that, " Madam Pomfrey said as she examined Cassiopeia's wound, Cassiopeia don't even flinch when she stitched the wound close, she had also embraced pain very well.

Cassiopeia rested a bit made her way towards Dumbledore's office and found her father with Theodore, Draco, the minister, and the Aurors.

Cassiopeia ran towards Regulus and hugged him " are you okay sweetheart, are you hurt? " Regulus whispered 

" no dad I am good, just an army of dementors nothing much, " Cassiopeia said nonchalantly as regulus chuckled, as she untangled herself from her father's grip Theodore embraced her,

" Salazar Cassie you scared us, you were nowhere to be found, and then we heard about the dementors -"

 " I am okay Theo, nothing much happened " then Draco embraced her after that she greeted the minister 

" good evening minister it's nice to meet you again " " always a pleasure miss black, you must be proud Mr. Black, your daughter is very powerful and beautiful " regulus nodded and smiled at his daughter, but he wasn't sure if everything was alright, he knew that his brother had found a way to escape this and he was happy, he had a feeling they would meet soon.
The minister and his Aurors returned and only Draco, Theodore, Cassiopeia, and regulus were left

" Cassiopeia I got a letter from Alexzander, We'll be going on a vacation with the Notts, just the four of us, me and Alexander have something important to do in New York City, also good job on breaking my record I am so proud of you " regulus kissed Cassiopeia's cheek 

" Thanks, Dad, I am very excited, but what about the world cup ?" 

"Oh we will be back before the match and we will get o the tournament with the Malfoys, I have to go sweetie I'll miss you a lot, and stay out of trouble and away from boys, Draco it's your duty" 

" of course uncle regulus, I'll look after Cassie, don't worry give the mother a hug and father greetings from me, " Draco said 

" I'll see you soon Theodore, " regulus said 

" yes sir, it was nice to see you " regulus shook his hand and gave a shoulder pat to both Draco and Theodore, and hugged Cassiopeia again 

" I love you dad " Cassie pecked her father's cheek " I love you more princess, stay safe " he let go and used Dumbledore's portkey.

The three of the Slytherins made their way to the common room and explained both of them everything, they wrapped their arms around her as she leaned her head against Theodore, Draco let the pair go and watched them with a smirk.

He didn't like to see his sister with a guy but he knew that Theodore wasn't just another guy, he loved Cassiopeia endlessly, he would not only kill for her but die if needed, he knew that they were each other support system. 

Draco remembered when they found out that Cassandra Nott, Theodore's mother had died, she was a sweet woman, and Cassiopeia loved her like her own mother, when Draco went to find Theodore after his mother's funeral he opened his bedroom door to find Cassiopeia's arms wrapped around a tired Theodore who appeared to have cried himself to sleep, the pair were sleeping on the bed, Draco never knew what happened, he didn't even dare to ask.

The next morning Cassiopeia went to Lupin's office she opened the door to find him leaving and also saw Potter standing there, 

" ah Cassiopeia dear I was waiting for you, so as I am not your professor anymore, I have resigned as Snape outed my condition, I can give you both the map use it carefully and learn to share it " Cassiopeia turned to Harry 

" take it, I don't need it right now, but when I will I'll come straight to you " Harry nodded at the girl in front of him.

The time went by, Cassiopeia didn't have much interaction with Timothy and Cedric, this year to Cassiopeia was top of her year with a full score, and Granger and Theodore had tied for second-highest again and Draco as third. 

The house cup and quidditch cup were won by Slytherin, they defeated Gryffindor by a margin of 10-210, it was an insult to Gryffindor, Potter caught the snitch but Cassiopeia and Theodore were brilliant, Angelina Johnson and Katie bell didn't even have the time to move around.
The six of the students sat in one compartment talking about the year when Cassiopeia received a letter and a box carried by Hedwig (potter's owl)

Theodore diverted everyone's attention from Cassiopeia to the quidditch cup

Dear puppy,

I know for a fact that your mother was arty, I know you are my arty's daughter, Reggie took amazing care of you and if arty could see you she would be so proud.

I love you no matter what, and we will meet soon. Give my love to regulus. From next time I am going to address you as snuffles, your mother's nickname also I had something of hers you should wear, I had it at the place it all ended, I went back there. Take care puppy.

With lots of love,
Uncle Padfoot

" Puppy! That's adorable " Theodore whispered to Cassiopeia after reading The letter

 " so your mother's animagi and Patronus must be a dog "

 " I guess so," Cassiopeia said " wow cases this is beautiful, it must be really expensive, who gifted this " Daphne asked, 

Cassiopeia examined the hairpiece 

" must be Mr. Nott, it was my aunt's, he must have found it somewhere in Mrs. Nott's stuff, both the woman was close from what I know "
(A/N: the Artemis's hairpiece is shown above, not in the chapter )

The ride came to an end everybody hugged each other goodbye, when it came to Theodore she hugged him as he said 

" we'll meet in a week, but I'll miss you " Cassiopeia laughed and pecked his cheek " I'll miss you too " 

" ok now get off her " Draco said waiting for Cassiopeia, 

both of them made their way towards their parents, Cassiopeia hugged Lucius, Narcissa, and her father and bid the Malfoys goodbye, as regulus and Cassiopeia went back to the black manor.
