SEBASTIAN THEODORE NOTT
 It is the truth, universally acknowledged, that a single girl ought to be in want of a night with Sebastian Nott. Admittedly perhaps not universally acknowledged, but it's certainly been acknowledged by Seb. Sebastian Nott would proclaim himself a living legend, and while the vast majority of his sheer streak of epic is in his head, it's true that he's been incredibly lucky in life. The only son of Theodore and Daphne Nott, Seb was born into one of the richest Wizarding families around today, and grew up in the lap of luxury. Not only that, but he grew up incredibly spoiled, with two parents who positively doted on him and his twin sister, Chloe - he popped into the world about ten minutes before her and has never let anyone forget it. Having Chloe is another thing he ought to be thankful about - although Seb rarely bothers his pretty head to be thankful about anything. Since the early days the twins have been best friends, and Seb would do anything in the world for his cheerful, naive sister. Seb had so many things at his fingertips that others could've only dreamed of; a built-in best mate, a huge Manor stuffed with books and toys and all sorts of other things, far more money than needed, and parents that, quite frankly, adored him. Unlike some other pureblood families, the Notts don't consider being pureblood the be-all and end-all, and Seb has never had that sort of prejudice, nor was he ever encouraged to. Seb can still have his terribly snobby moments, and he very much adores making sure his hair is done to perfection and wearing expensive clothes, but he's never considered himself above anyone else for being a pureblood. (He does, however, consider himself being above people in general - this mostly due to his self-proclaimed 'charm, good-looks, and intelligence.) Theodore and Daphne also influenced Seb to be exceedingly generous - it's rather hard to notice at first, due to his host of bad traits and his sheer arrogance, but Seb's frequently taking people out to dinner and if someone's lucky enough to catch him at a bar these days he'll probably buy every single round. He's a bit crap at buying presents, it's true, but if you get him into Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley you're practically guaranteed him buying half of the place for you without even realising he's doing it. When he was growing up, Seb didn't just have Chloe, although she was his main (and favourite) companion. They mingled with many of the other Pureblood families, and their cousins, the Malfoys and the Ricketts. The Nott Manor being so impossibly large, other children and parents were always welcome, and Seb would rejoice in having more people to race against, more people to tackle to the ground, more people to push into the pool. Seb adores his family from the bottom of his heart and although his main priority in life has always been Chloe, and then his mum and dad, he does adore his cousins, too, although he's always dedicated the vast majority of his time to winding them up and taking the mick out of them. He loves his female cousins particularly fiercely - they're sort of an extension of Chloe, in a way, and although when he was younger he'd often be the first to push them into the pool in recent years he's gotten particularly zealous with his adoration. He'll still completely take the mick and insult them to the ends of the earth, but he's also terribly embarrassing in the sense that when he was at Hogwarts he'd often stop what he was doing if he saw one and draw them up into a fierce hug and start warbling about how much he missed his baby cousin. If anyone was ever under the mistaken impression that Sebastian Nott was cool, they'd change their mind if they saw him with Chloe or his cousins. Seb was in many ways a total contradiction of himself. When his parents had friends over, he would immediately devote himself to being as charming as possible - to the point where it was almost smarmy - and if there was dinner involved he'd have impeccable table manners. The minute the friends left, however, he'd hover up all of the leftovers and then invest his time in seeing how much food he could fit in his mouth without choking. As much as he loved to cause mischief and wind people up and as much as he seemed to lack common sense, as well, he was always an exceptionally bright boy. The Notts had an extensive library and Seb read through quite a large quantity of the books just for fun. Seb is rampantly geeky - he loves learning, and he loves knowledge, and text-books are still often his bed-time reading. Once he read about something, he'd almost always remember it, and as clueless as he can sometimes seem he's always been clever and can have as much fun learning something as he can playing the fool (which he often does, with gusto). This, of course, meant that he was looking forward to Hogwarts like nothing else - he'd be surrounded by a bunch of people, which meant extra attention, and he would be able to show off to the teachers about how smart he was. Although he knew he would miss his parents, he set off on the Hogwarts Express that first year with all of the textbooks already read, Chloe on one side and his cousin Scorpius Malfoy on the other. In stark contrast to the other first-years, Seb wasn't nervous at all; on the contrary, he spent most of the time rushing up and down the train and popping his head in to different carriages and compartments and swaggering into all of the different first-years and introducing himself with a beam. He very nearly fell into the Lake when they crossed it because he utterly refused to sit still (much to Rubeus Hagrid's chagrin) and he was quivering with excitement at the sorting. The sorting, however, was when something of a disaster struck - Chloe was sorted into Gryffindor, and he, Seb, was sorted straight into Slytherin. The hat barely touched his head before it roared the word out, and he was left, somewhat perplexed, to amble over to the Slytherin table, his eyes on his sister the entire time. He was worried about her, because he was well aware that she was upset, and he had no idea how on earth he was supposed to take care of her when he had to sit somewhere different and live in a different common room. He needn't have worried, however - the girls in Chloe's dormitory were all terribly nice to her and both twins settled into their houses very well indeed. It was good for them, almost, to thrive by themselves and have their own independence - Chloe would always be Seb's favourite person and best mate, however, and he saw her often, always going to her first if he wanted to stir up some mischief. The teachers learned to treat Seb with a certain amount of apprehension - although it was undeniable that he was very clever, and quite a few of them found him endearing despite all of his over-confidence and arrogance, every time he wore his special 'innocent' face they knew that trouble was around the corner. He also had a tendency to get restless in lessons and try to distract other people, which ended up in him getting rather a few detentions. He never held it against the teachers, however - he developed crushes on half of them and whenever he turned up to detention late, with a martyr-like expression on his face, he'd solemnly say, "It's alright, Professor. I know you love me, really." Seb's first few years in Hogwarts flew - it was simple for Seb to be happy because he had very few priorities in life and very little needs. He was so convinced of his own charm and general fabulousness that he never needed anyone else to inform him of it, and he refused to be convinced otherwise. His adoration of winding people up made him a few enemies, but Seb barely noticed - and if he did, he often only did in amusement. One of the best things about him, and the reason that, despite his self-loving nature, he does have friends, is that he rarely cares what other people think about him. He never clawed desperately for popularity, and generally does what he pleases, and because of that, he ended up being the sort of person who could waltz into a room and join anybody else and not give two hoots and probably end up with them liking him anyways. Seb had his first kiss in second year, and since then came to realise just how good-looking he was. Appeased by this, and the fact that when he flirted with girls, he generally got a good response, he ended up losing his virginity in third year - not that he considered it a loss of anything, he was thrilled. He was a good percentage sure that he was the first boy in his year to lose his virginity and boasted frequently about it. Since then, he flung himself into shagging almost any girl he could, and whenever he spotted a pretty girl he'd plunge right into hitting on them. He was atrociously obvious about it, too - so sure of himself, so cocky, so down-right annoying sometimes. Even if a girl turned him down, it wouldn't deter him in the slightest, and he'd move quickly on to the next girl he spotted. He started drinking and partying quite young, too - he got bladdered the first few times, but since then learned his limit and was often the life and soul of the party, and tended to do the stupidest things. In fact, a drunk Seb is much the same as a sober one - he wore a pink bunny costume to a party completely sober and he'd probably walk around in one all the time if he didn't look so devastatingly attractive in everything else, too. His really nasty phase was during his fourth and fifth year - he knew just how good-looking he was and became almost unbearable at times. He would sulk and pout if he didn't get his way and voiced all of his opinions loudly and moved on from one girl to the next without a thought about their feelings. He pulled himself together a bit towards the end of fifth year and chilled out quite a lot, but that period of his life was probably the one where he made the most enemies. He sort of delighted in that, however - he's never backed down from a good argument as long as he can take the mick out of someone. He's never needed to. He's had a few girlfriends,and more than a few friends-with-benefits, but never really anyone he loved. He was always very devoted to his girlfriends, however - when Seb decides to like someone, and really fancies them, he's almost embarrassingly keen. He'd still be a dick, and be totally up himself, but everyone around could tell he adored his girlfriend if he was with her. The longest relationship he's ever had has only been about four months, but he remembers most of his girlfriends fondly - after all, he fancied them so much at one point that he could hardly go to having no feelings for them whatsoever. The one girl he's had a consistent on/off thing with is one Devyn Oberlin, a girl in the year below him. Their relationship is complicated at best - bickering and insulting each other from the word go, it's always been obvious that there's a very strong mutual attraction, however much they'd deny it. He was her first kiss, although he never realised it - as she was fourteen at the time, he assumed that she'd already had it - Seb being Seb assumes most people had their first kiss at twelve, as he did. From his fifth year to his seventh year they went through their ups and downs, bitter enemies at some stages, attempting to be friends at others, consistently flirting and constantly arguing. In their seventh year, however, they fell into a routine of arguing, and then disappearing into a broom cupboard together, although they never had sex (something of a disappointment to Seb). Seb would frequently deny to anyone who suggested it that he fancied Devyn, although he was horrified to find that he was often distracted by thoughts of her - and not just thoughts about having it off with her. Thoughts about talking to her, and bickering with her, and thoughts about how she wasn't that bad, really. A tidal wave of horror overwhelmed him; he fancied her. He fancied Devyn Oberlin, of all people. Bitchy, curt, competitive Devyn Oberlin. And so he devoted himself to avoiding her as much as possible. He found new girls to spend his time with, and pushed Devyn as far from his mind as he could. He threw himself into studying, and laughing, and joking, and avoided her gaze entirely. He'd duck away if he saw her in corridors or else shrug and smirk at her if she tried to talk to him. It was self-preservation at its very finest - he wasn't going to let this crush win. He wasn't going to let her win, because he knew fine and well that if he asked her out he'd never hear the end of it, not from anyone. Unsurprisingly, Seb graduated from Hogwarts with his reputation still intact and all O's in his NEWTs. Overall, he had the highest, if not one of the highest, grades in the entire year and his parents were terribly proud of him for doing so well. Seb was pretty thrilled, too, and when he got absolutely shattered that night drinking Firewhiskey he couldn't shut up about his amazing grades, and how much he loved his sister, and who hadn't he shagged yet in his year, because tonight was the very last night, ladies? Adulthood scared Seb only very slightly, and he shook it off as best he could - he could do what he wanted now. More girls to charm, a job to get, he could smoke and drink and eat as much as he pleased. He didn't have to worry about money or stability or anything else. He was eighteen, and his real life was just beginning, and he was thrilled. He got a job in the Ministry almost straight away after he replied - a very small job indeed, in the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, but what with the family name and his smarts, and his ambitious, determined streak, it's not hard to predict that he'll move up in the Ministry very soon indeed. His goal is to be a Head of Department, at the very least. If Seb wasn't so blinded by the thought of glory, he probably would realise that he's far more suited to being a teacher - if you could catch Seb on a more chilled-out day at Hogwarts, and get him to focus, he'd sit down with you and explain whatever you wanted from the homework so well you'd be wondering why he didn't tutor everyone, and charge for it, too. It's almost amusing, the fact that Seb is so aware of his own talents and doesn't realise how good he is at teaching other people. Of course, if you got him on a bad day, you'd be cursing yourself for even asking, but when he really devotes himself to it, Seb can be one of the best people to help with an essay or studying for a test. So far, he's spent as much of his time with Chloe that he can, apart from working. Chloe, and his other mates - but mostly Chloe. He's still living at home, firstly because he adores his family and the Manor, and secondly because he's terribly lazy and can't be bothered finding himself a flat. He's got a very particular style, so it'd just about take all day finding him a flat fantastic enough. He and Chloe still act like kids together the vats majority of the time (in fact, Seb acts like a kid in most places other than the Ministry) - his co-workers would be shaking their heads if they saw him in his onesie, huddled under blankets with his sister, eating ice-cream and laughing so hard he gets a stomach-ache, but he couldn't really care less. It's a wonder what he'll do living on his own, as well, as he can't cook and he's far too lazy to bother. He'll probably trail home everyday despite having his own flat and beg for someone to give him food. That, or he'll go and bother Scorpius (and probably Scorpius' girlfriend, Roxanne Weasley, by extension, whom Seb considers practically one of the family by this stage). All in all, Seb hasn't changed much; he's matured, slightly, probably in part because of his low ranking in the Ministry, which means he's often on his best behaviour in there - although old habits die hard and he's often winking at pretty girls and flirting with people to get what he wants and swaggering around like he owns the place. His best manners are out usually in the Ministry, however, and he's careful to be less insulting and more respectful. Outside of work, however, it's the same old, same old - he's dating and shagging and drinking and smoking and winding everyone up that he possibly can and reading and lounging around and thinking he's absolutely the bee's knees. The one thing that certainly hasn't changed is that Seb's main priority is still his family - and Chloe, in particular, his worst fear being something awful happening to her. And, as long as Seb's got his family (and his stunning good looks), he knows he'll get along just fine. this will scroll. ELLA 18 TMZ |
