Roommates with a Slytherin
After the annual Hogwarts feast and the sorting of the first years, Harry went up to his dorm room, number 309.
As soon as Harry entered, he unpacked his things and lay on his four-poster, staring at the wall. He thought about his interaction with Theo on the train, he thought about how much he loved Theodore. He was so caught up in his thoughts until someone scoffing and saying “You okay Scarface?” broke him out of his train of thought.
“Y-yeah umm what are you doing in my dorm?” Harry asked Theodore.
“You mean our dorm Harry?” Theo said and Harry went wide eyed. He could not share a dorm with Theo for a whole year.
“Well shit.” Harry said loudly.
“Well said Scarface.” Theo replied coolly.
Harry turned over and said “Are you sure this is your dorm?”
“Sure as hell dumbass.” Theodore said getting annoyed. “Now quit talking, I’ll need some rest before school tomorrow.
Harry shut his mouth and tried falling asleep. But he just couldn’t knowing that Theodore was in the bed right next to him. How the hell did this even happen, Harry thought, I mean I’m a Gryffindor, Theo’s a Slytherin. Harry made a note to talk to Dumbledore tomorrow morning.
Soon Harry drifted off to sleep at around 11:00 pm after realizing that he would need at least some sleep since he had school tomorrow. Harry woke up to Theo’s alarm clock blaring in his ear at 4:30 FUCKING AM. “Can that thing be any louder!” Harry yelled at Theo.
“Yes, it could. And plus you should really be getting up around now if you want to not be late to class.” Theodore replied flatly.
Harry groaned and got up, realizing that Theodore was right, especially since Harry needed to talk to Dumbledore before he went to first hour. He quickly put on his robes, brushed his teeth, and combed his hair before rushing out the door and to Dumbledores office.
Once Harry arrived he asked about why he and Theodore shared a door since they were completely different houses. Dumbledore said something about how there were too many Gryffindors and Slytherins, so they had to room Harry and Theo. Harry sighed and left Dumbledores office, heading to potions with, of course, Snape as his Professor.
The only good thing about potions was that he sat next to Theo, however that also was a bad thing since it distracted him from Snape’s lectures. How would he ever make it through the year.
After a while of Snape rambling on about something Harry honestly didn’t care about, the bell finally rang. Harry walked to his next class, with the only Professor possibly worse than Snape, Professor Umbridge. The only thing good about this class was that Harry sat next to Ron, aka his best friend, well one of them at least.
After another long hour, and another and another, and many more. The day was finally over and Harry got to just go collapse in his very inviting bed.
“Scarface, wake up it’s dinner.” Theo said, whilst shaking Harry awake.
“Didn’t you see I was sleeping, asshole.” Harry said angrily.
“Yeah, I did. Didn’t you see that I didn’t care?” Theodore snapped back.
Harry got up, defeated, and trudged over to the door and started walking to the dining hall. As soon as he arrived he sat next to Ron and Hermione and attempted to explain everything that happened over summer break.
“I’M SORRY WHAT?!!” Ron and Hermione exclaimed in unison after Harry had told them everything.
Harry just nodded and turned back to his food. After dinner, Harry went back up to his dorm and attempted to get some sleep which failed miserably as soon as Theo walked in. This time, Theo wasn’t trying to wake Harry up, which Harry knew. It was just the fact that Harry didn’t exactly want Theo to see him sleeping. Theo wasn’t aware Harry was awake so he just sat on his bed and watched Harry before muttering something Harry didn’t understand. Then Theo finally lied down in his bed and fell asleep.
Harry lay in his simple four poster bed, staring at the ceiling above him, wondering what Theo said, and why he was staring at him for so long. Maybe Theo liked him, Harry thought, but he came to the conclusion that that was just complete nonsense.
Maybe it was, but Harry shouldn’t worry himself with that. He would find out soon enough how Theodore Nott, truly felt.
Theo scoffed as soon as he walked into his dorm and saw none other than Scarface aka his possible crush, Harry Potter. Of course it had to be him sharing a dorm with the boy whom had her black hair, a scrawny body shape, and rounded glasses. But even though he tried to make it seem as though he despised the boy. It was fairly obvious that him, Theodore Nott loved Harry Potter.
Theodore has always heard about the famous Harry Potter, the “Chosen One”, yet it wasn’t until the train ride earlier when he had first talked to Harry. Yet Theo already felt the need to protect Harry, the stuttering mess whom constantly stared at him.
Theo honestly didn’t know why he liked Harry so much, he wasn’t usually the type to fall in love, he often kept to himself.
Yet, the highlight of his day was seeing Harry at Potions, and in his dorm. It was quite confusing that Theo was so in love with the boy he had only just met. Since Theodore was so confused, he did what he always did when he felt emotion, he went up to the astronomy tower and smoked a few cigarettes. Sure it wasn’t the healthiest thing for him to do, but that didn’t stop him. After around four cigarettes, he went back to his dorm to find Harry sleeping. This may sound weird, but don’t take it the wrong way, Theo found Harry sleeping kind of cute, so he regretted having to wake him up for dinner. But I mean, Harry’s gotta eat, right?
After dinner, Theo went back into his dorm to find Harry sleeping once again, (or so he thought). This time Theo went over to his own bed, but instead of lying down he sat on his very own four-poster and watched as Harry slept peacefully probably dreaming about quidditch or some shit. After a little while Theo finally lie down and nodded off to sleep.
As Theo slept, one question filled his mind. Did Harry Potter, the boy who lived, the chosen one, love or could he ever love, someone like himself, Theodore Nott?
Theo didn’t know it yet. But he would soon find out, how Harry Potter, truly felt about him.
