he asked me about nott’s father when i first arrived. they used to be old friends, apparently, but when he heard he’d been caught at the ministry he didn’t look happy, and nott didn’t get an invitation, did he?
i dont think slughorn’s interested in death eaters.
⊰MOODBOARD⊱THEODORE NOTT( requested by: @thcodorcnott ) soft, now; gently—flutter over the tick of a pulse, caressing the world’s throat. don’t squeeze too hard, don’t bite too deep. have patience, child; your time will come.
(words.) (got any requests?)
Theodore is a clever, solitary boy who has never felt compelled to join “gangs,” such as the one headed by Draco. He is seen as a loner who does things by himself.

*fangirls because Theo is too underappreciated for words*
theo has always been quiet okay?
like, his father tried to socialize him when he was younger, but he then scared the crap out of his nanny, so they just gave up on that path
but theo didn’t see it as a weakness
silence is golden, after all - and it’s his weapon
so he arrives already knowing more about slytherin politics than anyone else in their house
he knows that blaise’s mom has had an affair with pansy’s dad for longer than pansy’s been born (he caught them at madam malkin’s once) and that draco fancies the pants off of the boy who lived
but he keeps the secrets to himself
these people are his friends, and he knows the pain a well-placed secret can deal (he was a bastard, and his father would never know it)
so he stays quiet and laughs and brushes it off when malfoy calls him meek because he knows he’s the one in power here. i know the name of the whore your father sleeps with malfoy - want her number in case golden boy turns you down?
he sees the ugliness behind rita skeeter fourth year and decides then to use his silence for good, because the whispers don’t say that voldemort will win
he ends up a fallen soldier, never having given up the secrets of his friends (even though they gave him up in a seconds heartbeat) and after he serves his time he returns and works as an investigative journalist
the pen is always mightier than the sword, after all
/ * could this be fireworks that i feel when i bite a mouthful of star-dust? this tingling feeling that has filled my mouth is again melting me with its sweetness.
