Theodore Nott was always reminded of the darkness inside him everytime he saw the Thestrals. Everytime he took in their darkness, their bones.
To see them meant he had a taint on his soul. He must have darkness in him to witness them. A darkness that he was reminded of each day he attended Hogwarts.
"They can only be seen by those that have seen death," came a soft voice. Theodore spun around. His wand lowered when he saw Luna.
"You can see them?"
This girl was purely untainted. If she could see them, than there was hope for him yet.
