Theodore Nott is the son of Richard Lazarus Nott and Helena Artemesia Nott (née Burke).

Early Life (1979-1991)
Theodore was raised, what he thought to be, an only child in a wealthy family. While he was not heavily doted on, his parents did make sure he never wanted for anything. He was loved especially by his mother and was taught all about the Wizarding World from a young age. His parents were deeply prejudiced and stuck to the “Pureblood ideals” and instilled these thoughts in him.

Hogwarts Years (1991-1998)
Once at Hogwarts, he bonded with Blaise Zabini and Draco Malfoy, though he didn’t consider himself part of Draco’s “gang.” They were classmates, so he stuck by them, but generally he kept to himself. Theodore found out about his father being a Death Eater shortly after the Dark Lord’s return. At the time, he was proud of his father. Being in the Dark Lord’s inner circle meant their family would continue to be well off and protected, and would have a place in the new world the Dark Lord would build.

This changed when his mother was killed that summer. Theodore never knew the full details of what happened between his father and the Dark Lord, but it was grave enough that his mother was killed as, what he guessed, “punishment.” He witnessed the ordeal and was thus one of three people able to see the Thestrals in his Care of Magical Creatures lesson in fifth year.

==== Afterwards, he and his father hardly spoke. They lived together in the Nott Manor, but in separate parts of the house. His mother had been good, and without her, he suffered. Though he stuck around Draco and his friends, he never really grew close to them, or anyone else. ====

The Recent War (May 1998)
When all of the Slytherins were escorted from the Great Hall, he went with without complaint. Theodore elected to not return to the battle with Draco and the rest. He didn’t want to fight for either side and he didn’t want to see his father killing people he grew up with. Theodore stayed in Hogsmeade and watched the battle from afar. When the Ministry swept in at the end of it all, he left and returned home. Once there, he saw that the vacant slot of his father’s portrait was now filled, and knew he was gone. He was now, he presumed, the sole heir of the Nott family.
