Harry Potter One Shots

Older (Theodore Nott)

A/N: Though Theo is quite the ladies man, he is an ultimate simp for the 7th year Slytherin Y/n L/n. Golden trio era's 5th year. (No Voldemort)

3rd POV:
It wasn't a secret to anyone in the Slytherin house that 5th year Theodore Nott had a crush on Y/n L/n. She even knew it. She would be lying if she said the boy was unattractive but Y/n wouldn't act on it, Y/n was a 7th year about to graduate to become a healer.

It was rare for a rich pureblood girl to take a career after schooling instead of getting married. The L/n's have been a famous and wealthy family, not needing to marry their daughter off for an alliance. Her parents were happy that their daughter was going to do something she loved.

As Y/n sat at the end of the Slytherin table sipping on her coffee and occasionally eating her toast and reading the Daily Prophet, she felt someone wrap their arms around her waist and place their chin on her shoulder.

"Theodore." Y/n spoke.

"How did you know it was me?" He said playfully.

"You do this everyday." Y/n commented.

Theo was never one to express his feelings always having a straight face, but whenever Y/n would walk into a room or someone said her name he would have a big grin on his face.

"You know there is a Hogsmeade trip today?" Theo whispered into her ear.

"Theodore I've told this already, I don't want to go on a date with you." Y/n half lied. He would ask her same question everyday and everyday she would give the same answer. But lately she thought to herself, she would enjoy going out on a date.

"Why is it you always call me Theodore, Y/n/n." He played with a strand of her hair that wasn't put up into her messy bun.

"Because it's formal, and if we were friends I might call you Theo. But for know you are Theodore." Y/n keep reading the paper.

As Theo continued to play with Y/n's hair, Y/n had a lightbulb go off in her head and smirked.

"Theodore?" She said innocently.

"Yes Y/n/n." He smiled.

"I forgot my Transfiguration book in my dorm, could you go it?" She asked doe eyed.

"Of course." Instantly he unwrapped his arms and ran out of the Great Hall towards the dungeons.

"Does he know that the stairs will turn into a slide if he tries to walk up them?" Pansy asked as she, Draco and Blaise watch their friend simp over the 7th year.

"I must of forgot." Y/n smirked. "If you excuse me, I'm off to Hogsmeade for a day by myself."

***

As Y/n finished her trip to Hogsmeade, she walked into Thee Broomsticks to grab a butterbeer before heading back to the castle. While drinking, she grabbed her new book, Little Women, that she purchased at the book store.

"Why is it whenever I see you, you're reading?" She looked up to see Theodore.

"Reading broadens your mind, and I quite love this book, my mother would read it to me and my older sister when when we were younger." Y/n smiled thinking about her childhood.

"You know, out of all of our conversations you never talk about your family." Theo sat on the chair across from hers.

"Well my mother was a healer. She retired a few years ago and stays at home watching my nieces. My father works in the ministry. My older sister, owns a clothing boutique in Diagon Alley. She's married and has two daughters, twins. Diana and Nora."

"My sister graduated 4 years ago, when you were a 1st year. She was in Ravenclaw like my father, my mother was in Slytherin. The two of us did everything together growing up."

"That's sounds lovely." Theodore replied.

"I must get going back to the castle now. Would you like to um... accompany me?" Y/n asked.

"I thought you would never ask." He offered his arm, she linked hers and the two walked back to the castle.

"I know that I always said I wouldn't go out with you." Y/n said. "I'm not the type of person who gets into a relationship and leaves within it."

"There is this saying that people say about soulmates, right person, but the wrong time. I think that we're in the predicament."

"Well then, I will be waiting for the right time." Theo kissed her forehead.

2 years later

Once Y/n graduated, she was trained to become a healer and now is in her residency at St. Mungos.

Now she was back at Hogwarts, watching Theodore graduate and training to become an auror. Many of his friends threw a graduation party at Nott Manor where Y/n attended.

No matter Y/n went Theo would always be by her side, holding her waist or holding her hand, just being next to her was enough for him.

As the night when on, the recent graduates continued to party, while Y/n stood on the balcony looking at the sunset.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" She asked once she felt a familiar pair of arms wrap around her.

"I think I know something that is more beautiful." Theodore looked at the 19 year old.

"And that is?" She turned her head to look at the recent graduate.

"You." He whispered before kissing her forehead.

"Remember what you told me two years ago?" Theo asked. She hummed letting him continue.

"You said told me you found the right person, just at the wrong time. Is now the right time?" He rested his chin on the top of her head.

"I think it is." She whispered.

Y/n turned around so both of their chests were touching. Theo cupped her jaw with his hands and brought her lips up to his. The two moved in sync, perfectly.

Once they parted, Theo kissed her forehead before resting their foreheads together.

"I love you Y/n." Theo whispered.

"I love you too Theo." She replied.
