Dancing Prompt: Theodore Nott.
I'm in Hogwarts, Slytherin!
Theodore Nott was running. He was running from his wife, his name, and everything in between. He couldn't take it any longer, the pressures of being him was too astronomical. He had already fled the country, landing in a quaint town in Alaska. No one would know him here. He thought he knew that for certain.
Theo was tired of the looks he got, for his father being a Death Eater. No one wanted to do business with him, in his small lawyer firm. The gossip mill still reached his ears, the voices taunting him of his past.
His wife, she didn't love him. She only married him because of his money, since his name meant nothing anymore.
He was tired of being him. While he was running from everything else though, he didn't leave his money behind. So, he set up his own shop, selling odds and ends. It wasn't much, but it was something to him.
He woke up each morning, ate a small breakfast at the small cafe, then set out to open his own shop. His day grew brighter when an odd girl entered. She had long, wavy dishwater blonde hair, with the widest, blue eye's he had ever seen. But, she looked strikingly familiar. He kept wanting to place her with a girl he knew in school, a Ravenclaw.
He started looking forward for when she came. Theo didn't dare ask her, her name though. Fearing that she would ask for his in return. If it really was her, he didn't want to ruin this.
Until everything changed, she had asked him why he fled Britain, what was he running away from. He was left speechless after that, though.
It took a while, but he finally found the courage to tell her, he opened everything up to her. He even started meeting her at the small cafe around the corner.
Luna didn't judge him, or give him biased looks, she just listened. She also told him the most magnificent stories, of all these strange creatures. She told him how she was searching for a Keelut. A large black dog, that only had hair on it's feet. How they were native to Alaska, and she was wanting to document it's magical ability.
He enjoyed his new life here, and his new found friend, that was developing into more at an alarming pace.
His life was perfect now.
