"I can teach you Crucio or I can cast it on you."
"Wait, you didn't know how to cast crucio." Sebastian's words took you aback. Why in Merlin's beard did he know how to do that?
"Because I'm not sure I do," he retorted, "but Ominous has left us no choice; I don't want us to follow in Gaunt's footsteps; I can cast it if I have to," he gestured at himself, touching his chest.
"I won't cast it on you; you have to cast it on me," you said, with almost no thoughts running through your mind before agreeing.
"I'm not going to forget this," he said, reaching out his hand to grab your shoulder.
You stood, preparing yourself for Sebastian to cast the spell; you couldn't imagine the type of pain that was about to hit you. A curse you'd heard so much about, with so much fear attached to it.
"Ready?" You watched as he raised his wand, squeezing your eyes shut.
"I'm ready," you readied yourself, placing your feet apart and bracing yourself.
"Crucio!" Sebastian yelled, and you felt a blast push you back and a rush of aches and pains. It was debilitating; you wanted to run and hide, and you grabbed at your clothes. It burned and stung, and whatever other words you can think of to describe the pain. Your eyelids were bright red; that's all you saw.
Then it finally stopped, all at once, with the pain still echoing through your body.
"Are you alright?" You heard a voice right beside you and felt a hand grab your arm. You flinched and smacked it away. You began to cry, whimpering, holding yourself in comfort.
"Hey," Sebastian said, wrapping his arms around you and rubbing his hand across your back.
Your body heaved against his as you cried; you could hear Ominous's footsteps in the back. This definitely freaked him out. You let go of your stomach, wrapping your arms around Sebastian; it was the tightest embrace. You let your breath even out, tears slowed their flow, and your body felt nothing at all—such an odd sensation.
You took a deep breath, shakily letting it out. You moved back, slouching against the wall; your body was exhausted. You felt a churning sensation in your stomach. You closed your eyes and inhaled and exhaled deeply. Sebastian grabbed your hand, providing a sense of support. You grabbed on, turning to the side and allowing dinner to come up. You slouched once more, beginning to giggle in relief, first quietly, then loudly. Tears are still streaming down your face.
"What?" Sebastian questioned you, and you clutched your stomach, feeling the pain from laughing so hard, and you clutched Sebastian's arm, keeping you from rolling to the ground.
"Cry all you want; I'm starting to think you enjoyed it," he said, grabbing your shoulders to keep you steady.
"I did not enjoy that," you said, staring him dead in the eyes. Crucio was a miserable curse, and you hoped to never go through that again. But if Sebastian held you like that every time, it might not be the worst thing in the world to deal with.
"Then why are you laughing?" He was puzzled, his eyebrows furrowing. He wiped your leftover tears away, wiping them on his green robes.
"I just feel amazing now; I feel so light," you said, jumping up with a springy action. You were never going to tell Sebastian that you liked his touch. You just hoped he would do it again, even if that meant Crucio again.
