Dark New World || Sebastian Sallow

Stay with me

As the night went on some of their classmates had shown up to the three broomsticks as well, in fact it started to get to be pretty busy. Everyone began mingling a bit more and eventually the three broomsticks was full of sixth year students, though she wasn't surprised. It was the final Saturday before school started next week.

Natty, Poppy and Lena all stood in the corner of the inn, it was mostly Natty and Poppy speaking back and fourth as Lena kept an eye on Sebastian and Ominis. She was starting to worry, it wasn't like them to completely ignore one another. She wondered if she should try to speak with Ominis but decided to give it a bit more time in the hopes that they would eventually come around.

"So what is going on here? Have you abandoned us Hufflepuffs for Slytherin?" Poppy teases as she tugs at Lena's skirt.

"Not exactly." She says with a smile.

"Yes I've been waiting to ask, are you two finally together?" Natty asks giving her a cheeky smile.

"I wouldn't say we are together," Lena says, glancing across the room to Sebastian as he spoke to Garreth and Imelda. Garreth was holding up an oddly shaped glass bottle with a strange colored liquid bubbling in it, shaking it around as he spoke. Sebastian and Imelda both looked a bit confused as he explained whatever it was that he had there. Classic Garreth and this odd concoctions.

"I don't really know what it is to be honest." She says, looking back to the girls.

"What do you mean exactly?" Natty asks as she raises an eyebrow and crosses her arms.

"I've been staying with Sebastian for the last couple days. The first night we sort of made out a bit but we haven't talked about it since." She says, looking between her two friends.

"Why don't you just ask him?" Poppy suggests.

"But what if it's nothing and by asking I ruin whatever...this is?"

Natty looks over to Sebastian and then back to her. "Well, are you comfortable with whatever this is? Or would you like something more from him?" She asks.

"I mean, I may want more eventually but I am also enjoying the way things are right now. I don't want to rush anything."

"Why don't you wait till school starts and then see if you want to talk to him then?" Poppy suggests.

"That's not a bad idea, I definitely should wait a bit and see how things go." She says, running her finger along her bottom lip as the girls hush up, looking to Sebastian who was making his way towards the group.

"Hey Sebastian, how are you?" Natty asks with a warm smile.

"Good, I was wondering if I could steal this one from you both for a moment?" He asks swiftly, looking to Lena which made her blush slightly.

"She's all yours." Poppy says with a smile as she motions her hands towards Lena. She smiles to her friends as she walks past them towards the entrance of the bar, Sebastian following close behind with his hand pressed against the small of her back.

"Is everything alright?" She asks as they step outside, he held his gaze on her for a long moment before letting out a heavy sigh.

"I was wondering... if you would feel comfortable coming back to Feldcroft with me tonight?" He asks. Lena's eyes flickered up to meet his as she paused, she hasn't been to Feldcroft since the night his uncle Solomon died. She honestly didn't exactly know what to expect, and to go into their house..
