Chapter One: Maybe Nott, as told by Theodore Nott
This morning was one like any other. I woke up and Father was yelling at the house elf, Gupey. He kept telling him how much of a grievance he was and how if he wouldn't do anything right, then he shouldn't try it. It seems this morning; Gupey burnt Father's favorite dress robes when he was ironing it. Dear old Dad and his temper. I wonder, was he always this way or was it that he became this way again when Voldemort cam back into existence. Because before Voldemort came back, he was much nicer and he wasn't so worried about being killed, and so I wonder if it was that he wanted to leap at the offer or not. Voldemort was always a danger to everyone. Maybe not…
Another thing that makes me think is whether or not I am truly like my father. They say I look nothing like him. He is tall and thick built, mostly muscle, and has a cold look to his eyes, and I am thin and, according to others, gangly. So am I like my father? Maybe not…
I also wonder, back in my first year, if I should have joined Malfoy's ranks. I'd have my respect served to me on a silver platter and I'd be in no risk of any troubles with the other students. But then again, is it worth joining sides with one of the school's biggest jerks and a crybaby? Maybe not…
I'm happy as I am, alone…or maybe not.
And then there's Harry Potter. Yes, Saint Potter, or that is what Malfoy said. I say that Potter is just puffed up with his own successes. He's probably stuck up. But if I never see him outside of school, it will be too soon.
It's his fault that my dad's in jail.
I won't soon forget that fateful day. Dad and I were having dinner, courtesy of Gupey, who is a wonderful cook and all of a sudden, as Dad was eating a roll, a ring at the door came.
Dad didn't know who it was at first, but it turned out to be two Aurors.
And with that, he had no choice left but to play the "weak old man" card.
He said slowly in a quivery voice, "Who are you? Why are you bothering an old man?"
One Auror said "The game's up, Nott. You are under arrest under the grounds of being claimed as a Death Eater"
Dad knew he was doomed, so he went without a fuss.
To this day, I still have loathed Potter and hope that he gets what is coming to him.
Then again, maybe not.
