“ so i got wasted like all my potential ” //// @theodrnott
something inside her chest fissures and breaks at his confession; if anyone had potential, it was theo. he was the one who looked out for her, who spent hours training her when she struggled with a skill or theory. he was smart, and interesting, and . . . if he didn’t think he had potential, every single other slytherin guy was destined to fail.
a comforting hand is placed upon his, drink abandoned in favor of devoting attention to the man beside her . even if lack of returned feelings were accepted long ago, she still cares about him. probably always will. ❛ i don’t think you can consider your potential wasted when you’re in your twenties, ❜ she teases quietly, thumb brushing over his skin. the very ghost of a smile forming on her lips, she sits back in her chair. ❛ you underestimate yourself, theo. even if you can’t see your potential, i can. ❜
