There was no going home this winter break. 

Theo knew that going home would mean an empty dinning room, with only the elves to keep him company. It would mean Fire Whiskey while listening to the Weird Sisters at a volume that his father never would have approved of. But who cares about what he approves of now that Coxius Nott was in Azkaban? But no...he stayed at Hogwarts with Draco. Draco wasn’t leaving and Theo didn’t exactly blame him. After all, leaving would mean going back to a manor where the Dark Lord was currently residing. It wouldn’t be a pleasant homecoming.

“You tosser, stop hogging the Fire Whiskey.” Theo grumbled, snatching the bottle from his friend’s hand, bringing it to his lips and taking a swing. It was warm and the burn down his throat was now a pleasant reminder that he was alive instead of a rude invasion. His head leaned back against the couch, his eyes closed for a moment. He was itching to grab one of his cigarettes but the smell wasn’t one that his fellow Slytherins were found of.

     Tom looked Draco in the eye. From the first moment he’d seen him, he had been able to tell he was a Malfoy. He had also been able to tell that he had a soft heart - even if he hid it well. It was a talent of Tom’s, to tell a person’s true nature. A talent that Voldemort had long lost. Along with his nose. Both of which Tom intended not to lose.

     When the blonde boy had informed him of who he was - what he was; what he would do and had done (in both orders) it had taken Tom a moment to digest it. How had things gone so… astray from his original plan? Hogwarts Professor. Minister some day. Not child killer and soulless villain. He wanted to be the saviour of the wizarding world - not the one to bring about its demise. But the elder version of him seemed to have broken at some point. Seemed to have found a new reason to keep going.

     It wasn’t power. Tom had always wanted power. No. It was something else entirely. Something that it didn’t seem anyone could truly tell him. Something he would know unless he told himself in some way. Something he wasn’t even sure he wished to know.

Draco frowned, looking away from Nott with an expression crossed between a grimace and a sneer before it smoothed into a more contemplative one.

“I can assure you, a relationship can’t measure up to a strong glass of vodka, or any alcohol for that matter,” Not that he had much relationship experience to begin with, but he wasn’t going to go around just announcing that. “Do you have any— just, anything?” He turns towards him fully, pushing his hair from his face, a stray lock curling behind his ear.

“Anything I Conjure doesn’t quite get the job done.”

Theodore raised his eyebrows again as he heard Draco’s statement. He wouldn’t agree with him but he didn’t bother to argue with him about this topic. He could only imagine how long conservation it would be before they would find some kind of agreement  — or maybe one of them would storm out before they had an agreement. Who knew what could have happened. A quiet chuckle escaped from his lips when he heard about conjuring alcohol. It wasn’t a surprise that it wasn’t the same thing  —  people could do amazing things with magic, but it couldn’t replace everything. ❝ Uhm — ,❞  he muttered thoughtfully, turning his head towards a cabinet, raising his hand to his chin and he puckered his brows. If he was being honest, he wasn’t even sure what he had  — he hadn’t looked into that cabinet for a while.
