Most children are 11 when they receive the great news that they had been accepted into Hogwarts to start their first year.

You were 15.

Circumstances, situations, whatever you wanted to call it, those were the facts.

You were very tired the first week; all you could remember was being sorted into your house and many friendly faces. With the whole troll thing in the coming week, you had made quite a name for yourself already. Natty and Poppy were your closest friends here. You were also kind of close with Sebastian, but you had no idea where you two stood as you never saw him around campus. Rumour was it that he had his mind focused on some idea and it wasn't the safe kind.

It was a mundane moment when you first saw him, just during the small section of wandering time you had before getting to class. You had potions next. That was when you properly met.

"Hey l/n! Where are you off to?" called a voice, you recognised your name and turned before you could piece together who was calling it.

A brown tuft of hair and valley of freckles set into your line of vision. "Oh, hey Sallow, just off to potions, how about you?"

"Sweet, I have a free period next. My friend Ominis has potions next too, I believe. Do you know him?" he asks, falling into step with you.

You were confused at the sudden banter, but you eased into it, "Uhm, that blonde Slytherin boy? Yeah I've seen him, never spoken to him though," you remarked, almost dropping that you thought he was cute but you wouldn't even utter that to Poppy so there was no reason for you to tell Sallow all of a sudden.

"Yup, that blonde Slytherin boy alright, you will keep him company, won't you? Between the two of us I'm starting to worry he won't make many other close friends."

You were baffled at the sudden request. Where was all of this coming from?

"Uh, what do you mean? And why me?"

"Well he obviously has his friends he talks to, but I worry he's too...reliant on me. You seem fine enough so I'm hoping you would do this for me? I'll owe you one and that means quite a bit. It's for the best for him anyway," Sebastian relays.

"I think I'll decide what's the best for me," says a voice from behind you two.

Sebastian bristles and jumps around, you turn, still confused at the developing events. You were faced with a boy whose looks could possibly kill.

Ominis Gaunt, 5th year Slytherin and the cutest boy in the grade was positively seething and turning his head glancing towards the two of you.

"Ominis? Oh boy," Sebastian sighs in defeat.

"I don't need you making pity friends for me. I can do as I want or not do anything at all." He says as he shoots you a disgusted look.

What did I do? You think to yourself.

"Now now Ominis, it's not what you think it is," Sebastian says.

"I'm blind Sebastian, not deaf. I can clearly hear and comprehend. And you," he faces directly toards you, "I don't need any help 'making friends' or anything of the sort. I suggest you stay away and mind your business."

What did I even do??? You think to yourself more incredulously, but not riled up enough to get involved.

The bell rings and loitering 3rd years hurry to their class.

"Now if you'd excuse me, I have to get to class," Ominis trudges past you two.

"I-I'm very sorry y/n, I'll talk to you later and clear everything up. He's just...in a mood right now. I promise he's a better person than that," Sebastian says and you nod and give him a reassuring smile, too unbothered to deal with this.
