Potions | | Theodore Nott

TW : violence, blood, fighting

At this point, Theo was holding Anthony up or else he would have passed out. He let go of his shirt and watched as Anthony fell down to the floor. He didn't waste any time and began kicking him in the stomach while he was down on the ground.

Theo kicked, and kicked, and kicked, until everything went silent in the room. All that could be heard was the groans leaving Anthony's mouth as he got kicked, and the grunts coming from Theo's mouth as he did the kicking.

Nobody knew what to do, everyone was just stood around in complete shock and had no idea what to do. Blood was seeping through Anthony's clothes and was all over his face, Theo's hand completely red with blood.

Anthony had passed out from the pain and the shock that his body was feeling, yet that still did not stop Theodore. He had stopped kicking him, but was now sat on top of him and punching his face yet again.

He didn't look like he was going to stop any time soon, he wanted that boy dead.

"He's gonna kill him." Payton shuddered, she sounded and looked like she was going to start crying, and you did not blame her.

You had no idea what to do and neither did anyone else in the room. The music had been turned off and everyone was crowded around Theodore and Anthony. Nobody took their eyes off of the fight that was going on in front of them.

People were looking around at everyone else in the room, trying to see what they were going to do about this, but nobody had a clue.

You didn't know what to do, so you rushed over to your brother and he grabbed ahold of your wrists to steady you. He made sure you weren't in the way of Theodore, who was still on top of Anthony, punching him in the face repeatedly.

"Draco, you need to get help." You said to your brother, your voice shaking. "Say what you said to him again, make him stop!"

"I can't do that, Daniella, Goldstein talked bad about him mum! Nothing will get Theo to stop!" Draco said to you.

You knew Draco wouldn't be able to stop him or get help, so you turned to the next best option, Blaise Zabini.

"You're his best friend, please!" You said to Blaise. "Please, please, make him stop! Get a teacher, pull him off of him, just please make Theo stop!"

It took Blaise a moment, you could see in his eyes that he did not want to and was hesitating, but he nodded his head and ran straight out of the common room. He was going to get help, despite everything bad in the room that could get everyone in trouble.

Everyone stood around watching the scene unfold in front of the eyes before Blaise came springing back into the room with a few teachers following behind him. He ran back over to you as the teachers tried to talk to Theo, but that did not work.

"I didn't know who to get, they were the first ones that I could find!" Blaise told you.

The professors that Blaise had got were Professors Slughorn and Flitwick.

They very quickly realised that Theodore was not budging any time soon and they did not want to get hurt themselves, so Flitwick used magic to pull Theodore off of Anthony.

"Someone get Dumbledore! And Madam Pomfrey!" Flitwick shouted.

"On it!"

Multiple people ran off to get the head nurse and the head teacher while the two other professors began to tend to Anthony's wounds. They couldn't do too much as neither of them wanted to hurt him further, which was understandable.

Anthony was complete knocked out and was covered in his and Theo's blood from his fist.

"Check his pulse!"

"I don't think he's breathing..."

"Oh my gosh, did he kill him?"

"Nott is such a monster! Poor Anthony did not even do anything..."

"Aren't they gonna get an Auror here?"

"Arrest him!"

Everyone was shouting at things at the two professors tending to Anthony, but they quickly shut everybody up. You joined back up with your friends, all of you were pretty shaken up and rightfully so.

"Is he okay?" Lorenzo asked you as you had gotten a better view of Anthony.

You couldn't say anything, you just shook your head.

"How did this even happen?" Camilla asked you and the others, wondering if any of you knew how it actually started.

"A-Anthony said something about Astoria and I when we left, and Theo just... he got so mad." You very nervously spoke. "Draco said something and Theo went to leave, but he said something about his mum."

"His mum?" Astoria asked. "Why did he get so violent over his mother?"

"I don't know. It's not even like Anthony said anything that bad." You sighed.

"What exactly did he say?" Lorenzo asked.

"I think he said are you gonna go cry to mummy now, or something along those lines." You said. "I don't know what the big deal is, he didn't need to react like that."

Your friends went silent and their eyes drifted behind you. It took you a second but you soon realised what they were looking at behind you.

You turned around and saw Theodore stood there. He looked so mad, but also like he just wanted to cry. You looked down at his hands and they were shaking, blood still dripping off of his knuckles and to the floor.

"Shit, Theo." You said to him. "I didn't mean that, I'm so sorry."

Theodore just shook his head and walked away, straight out of the common room. His friends, except for Draco, followed after him and they all walked past Dumbledore.

"You shouldn't have said that, Daniella, do you not realise what you've done?" Draco asked and then didn't let you answer.

He proceeded to shake his head at you as he walked past, jogging to catch up with his friends out of the common room.
