Some people come in and out of your life without consequence; some stay and walk the path alongside you. But on the rare occasion, the universe will throw someone in your path whose life becomes inexplicably bound to yours.
For better or worse.
In 1995 - Harry Potter met Theodore Nott.
In 2007 - a dream came true.
Excerpt
He looked up, his dark gaze meeting Harry’s as he set his cup down. The rumble and noise of the hall fell away as if somehow Nott had extended his circle of peace to envelop Harry too, keeping him safe from the gossiping student body. Harry watched Theo stand and gather his things, never breaking eye contact as his lips slowly curled into the barest hint of a smirk.
Just what is his game? Harry thought, noticing the same dark expression cloud Nott’s face. He swung his bag onto his shoulder and ran a hand through his hair, tousling his curls. Harry followed the thumb he ran down the side of his lip, before locking gazes once more. Nott flashed him a crooked grin, the darkness lightening, and then he turned and left the hall, leaving Harry thoroughly off-kilter.
