Aftermath | Sebastian Sallow

Chapter 28

I'm standing in front of Felix, making our first confrontation, annoyed as I look up at him. "I was wondering when we'd finally run into each other." He says.

"Oh really? Well I wasn't." I turn to walk away and he steps in front of me.

He holds up his hands, "Woah now, what's with the hostility?"

I honestly feel like pushing him out of my way for blocking me like this, but I release my tension. I don't actually want to reveal what my senses have been picking up on him.

I roll my shoulders back and point my nose up in the air at him, I'm realizing now just how much he is towering over me. Maybe only about 3 inches taller than Sebastian, but with his dark hair he seems to loom over me. Like a shadow.

I'm keeping an unamused face. "I am clearly trying to get to where I need to be." I gesture towards the open space of the common room.

"Fair enough. But it would be improper of me to not introduce myself." It takes everything in me not to roll my eyes at him. He holds out his hand, "Felix Lestrange. And you are..?"

"Y/n y/ln." I say, extending my own to grasp his. Our fingers are barely touching each other's palms when I feel something like an electric shock from the touch of our hands. He starts to pull his hand away but I grasp it tightly. I won't back away.

"Nice to meet you." I shake his hand firmly and glare at him with a wicked grin. I release it. He stands before me at a loss for words I presume, and I leave him there to look stupid as I walk away.

I'm finally in my dorm room, I shut the door abruptly behind me and lean my back against it with my eyes pointed at the ceiling. What the fuck was that? He grabbed my arms as I crashed into him, why didn't I feel it then? Although.. our skin didn't touch until we shook hands. And my magic flows from my fingertips. It has to be another reaction like I had earlier today.

Whatever it is, I need to make sure I stay far away from him.

I gain my composure, waiting a bit in my dorm before exiting again. I'm hoping he will be gone by the time I exit into the common room, and to my liking he is nowhere in sight.

————————

The rest of the day passes quickly, thankfully I don't have to worry about running into him as I have 6th year classes. I'm completely wrapped up in the few classes I have with Sebastian in the afternoon. Stealing glances and passing dirty notes to each other.

We're walking hand in hand to the Great Hall for dinner when he grabs my hand and pulls me into secluded corridor causing me to giggle at him.

"All to myself." He smiles down at me, grabbing my hips to pull me close against him. He reaches a hand up to my neck, brushing my hair away and leans in to nip at my neck. With each new little bite he's sucking my skin and brushing his tongue on it.

I gasp out in pleasure and find it hard to make any words out. "Sebastian! Someone will see us." I whisper out in a breathy, desperate voice. I know I don't actually want him to stop.

"Let them see." He moves from my neck to my lips, now grabbing my bottom with one hand and my thigh with his other. He growls into my mouth and pushes me up against a nearby wall. I open my mouth to deepen the kiss with him and he teases my mouth with his tongue.

"Mmm.. we really should stop." I let out a little moan and try to push him away.

"Okay, fine. But tonight I want you all to myself." He says, burying his head into my neck and nipping at it once again.

"I think I can make time in my schedule for it." I say back. He pulls himself away from me and raises an eyebrow.

"Watch it." He says with a playful grin, pulling me into him by my shoulders as we begin back towards the Great Hall once again.

"What will you do if I don't?" I continue.

"I guess you'll have to find out for yourself. He whispers into my ear and kisses my head.

"We're surely going to beat Hufflepuff tomorrow. They don't stand a chance." Imelda scoffs, digging into her meal. She's honestly sort of grossing me out with how much of an animal she's behaving like right now.

I look over at Sebastian who is making a disgusted face at her and chuckle at him.

"You want to paint a picture of me Sallow so you can keep it in your dorm instead of gawking at me here?" Imelda snipes at him.

"Honestly Imelda you look ridiculous right now." He says at her, still cringing. "Be glad you can't see in this moment Ominis, it's not a sightly view." Ominis raises an eyebrow and turns in her direction.

"Ahh, I have to build up the energy for the match tomorrow. Although I know we'll beat them easy. Hufflepuff has never stood a chance against us. Or at least against me." Imelda says proudly, finishing up her meal. Thank the gods. "Speaking of which, we're having a party after the game."

"To celebrate the obvious victory you're presumptuously gloating about?" Ominis says towards her, playfully.

"Another party?" I ask curiously. "Didn't we just have one?"

"Slytherins like to have fun." Imelda shrugs at me.

"She's exaggerating." Sebastian turns to me. "These after parties are more of a soirée, if you will. Only amongst Slytherin students to celebrate victories, such as quidditch games."

"I feel like I missed so much last year.." I say thinking about all the days and nights I spent on quests and battles last year. I get to finally live a normal life now. Well, as normal as it can be.

Ominis let's out a 'hmph'. "You're really not missing much." Imelda elbows him and he smiles in return.

"Well I have to go practice, don't miss me too much." She says standing up and marching towards the exit of the Great Hall.

"Practice at this hour." Sebastian says shaking his head. Ominis slightly slides over and leans in towards us.

"Is there any news on.. the situation?" He asks quietly.

"I actually would like to speak with you both, but not here." I respond.

"The Undercroft?" Ominis asks.

"I have another place in mind." I say, winking at Sebastian who smiles back at me.
