As in the case of Dean Thomas, I know much more about Theodore Nott 
than has ever appeared in the books. Raised by a very elderly 
widower and Death Eater father, Theodore is a clever loner who does 
not feel the need to join gangs, including Malfoy's. 

However, in this scene Theodore's father (the same Nott who was 
badly injured in the closing chapters of 'Order of the Phoenix') 
goes to visit Lucius Malfoy to discuss Voldemort-related business 
and we see Draco and Theodore alone in the garden having a talk of 
their own.
