"Oh? How does your father feel about that?" That’s a low blow. Theo’s father is one of Voldemort’s strongest supporters, a toady whose greatest – and only – skill is flattery. Tristan Nott has despised his son almost from the moment the boy was born, and Theo sought shelter from his father’s abuse at Malfoy Manor many times. Now he’s here again – staying here, Draco wonders, or just for a short visit? Tristan is off in Eastern Europe doing something for Voldemort, so Theo isn’t here to avoid his father this time.
