Theodore Nott/Theo

The quiet, mysterious Slytherin. In most fanfics, Theo is the guy who's always sitting in the back of the room, half reading, half analyzing everyone. He barely speaks — but when he does? It’s always something sharp, smart, or lowkey flirty. Basically: the “tall, dark, and unreadable” energy with a wand and sarcasm.
Smart without showing off. He’s not out here raising his hand like Hermione or bragging like Draco — but he knows everything. He reads ahead. He writes essays last-minute and still gets top marks. The kind of guy who knows dark magic but uses it like... morally gray poetry.
Soft boy energy... buried under emotional damage. The fanon version of Theo almost always has some tragic past: — distant father — raised in a cold, pureblood house — trust issues — probably listens to instrumental music alone at night But underneath all that trauma and brooding silence? He’s a softie. Quietly protective. Loyal in ways that hit harder than loud heroism.

Bonus: The fanfic glow-up is unmatched. Let’s be honest: Theo got like five seconds of canon time. Fanon gave him cheekbones, perfect black sweaters, emotional intelligence, and inner turmoil so hot it could be bottled and sold as cologne.

Bottom line? He’s the dark academia boyfriend you didn’t know you needed. And we love him for it.

The book he gave you hadn’t left your side all day. It sat in your bag during Transfiguration, under your pillow at dinner, and now — well past curfew — it glowed faintly under your wandlight in the quiet of your dorm.

You’d tried to read it. You really had. But the pages were written in a script that shifted as you looked at it — like the ink didn’t want to be seen. And on the last page, just one sentence burned itself into the parchment as you watched:

"Come to the Astronomy Tower. Midnight." You hesitated. This had Theo Nott written all over it — quiet, reckless, almost daring you to find out how far he’d go. Or how far you would.

You went.

The library was quiet—too quiet. Pages turned like whispers in the candlelight, and the dust in the air felt like a secret waiting to be told.

You were standing in the restricted section, tracing your finger down the spine of a faded Potions book, when a voice behind you cut through the silence. “That one’s useless—unless you’re planning on brewing a sleeping draught for first-years.”

You froze. Then Turned around.

And there he was. Theodore Nott. Slytherin tie loose, sleeves rolled to his elbows, expression unreadable—except for that flicker of amusement in his eyes. Eyes that looked like they’d seen too much and trusted too little.

You blinked. “Didn’t know you were into potions.”

He tilted his head slightly, gaze never leaving yours. “I’m into people who don’t waste their time pretending they’re not curious.”

He stepped closer—not threatening, just... intense. Too intense. You weren’t used to being seen like that.

He reached past you, pulled a book from behind the shelf. No title. No author. Just a black leather cover, worn soft by age and maybe secrets.

“Read it. But don’t tell anyone I gave it to you.” He handed it to you. His fingers brushed yours. Cold. Electric.

You wanted to ask—why you, why this, what game is this—but he was already walking away. Quiet. Effortless. Like he belonged to the shadows between the shelves.

when you open the book you see a text Theo wrote in it: "Come to the Astronomy Tower. Midnight."
