What else will it take? // Sebastian Sallow x Y/N

Chapter 3

Coming in through the north gate of the castle, the two of us walked through the small garden area and through the large doors. Walking up the steps to the Annex, Sebastian quickly moved to stand in front of me. He stood at the very top step while I was still just a few beneath him.

His eyes seemed to have a little sparkle as he smiled widely at me. "I know the perfect place where we can talk. Do you trust me?" I looked at him, my head tilting up to look at him. I have him a small chuckle as I nodded, "I trust you, Sebastian."

He turned around, the two of us walking walk past the fountain and up the large staircase. "Where I'm taking you, no one must know a thing. It's one of, let's say... one of my own little secrets."

We both had stopped, only a flight of stairs away from our charms class. "Your secret is the open space of this area? Wow, Sebastian, I'll absolutely keep this on the down low." I rolled my eyes as I crossed my arms.

"Hey now, we're not there yet. Just need to make sure no one is watching us." He moved his head around to make sure no students were paying us any mind before he started walking again.

He lead me behind the small flight of stairs and stopped in front of a rather odd, yet beautiful clock. My arms uncrossed as I looked to Sebastian, his wand in his hand as he began to unlock it. Pieces began to turn, small clicks coming from it as my eyes widened. "Oh my, a secret door?"

Sebastian grinned and turned to look at me, "Ladies first." He has raised his hand to  allow me to enter first, the door shutting behind him as we began to walk down the dark corridor. My eyes couldn't adjust as fast as Sebastian's, which was obvious because of how much further he was in front of me.

A loud metal clanging noise came from the end of the hall and soon a warm light came from the end. As I approached the end, I blinked a few times and took in the large room that was now before me. "This has just been down here? How is that possible?"

My words came out quickly as I walked in further, looking to all of the different pieces of furniture being scattered around as well as the large wall of barrels. "Ominis showed it to me. It was his families personal hiding spot when they were going through Hogwarts. Him, Anne and I would come down here, but now its only used to get away from the stress of school."

I turned to him and a small smile came over me. "This is truly amazing Sebastian." He gave me a little smirk as he crossed his arms. "So, care to begin?" He stood in front of one of the large pillars that was in the room, his eyes staying on me.

I took in a deep breath, my eyes focused on only him. "Before I came to the castle, I had gone to Gringotts with Fig and we discovered I have a very large part in the goblin war between wizard kind. Ranrok, just like many before, are wanting to take me to use my magic to use for the destruction of this world and the muggle world. Fig is working on trying to find out what Ranrok wants the magic for, and why the dark wizards are on his side. I have to learn to control my magic, which I found out a year ago is what others call 'ancient magic'. I can wield this old magic and take down practically any enemy in my path. I also come from a very long line of muggles, so it makes no sense how I have magic."

I placed my finger on my chin, thinking as I hummed. "Oh! I also have a very long list of people who are trying to hunt me down because of my abilities, which causes me to be a large target whenever I am out. There is a large deposit somewhere in the Highlands that contains a large quantity of powerful magic that if handled by the wrong hands, it will kill everyone. I am somehow connected to everything in this world, yet I know nothing on it."

I looked to Sebastian, his eyes blinking slowly as he tried to make sense of what I had just said to him. He nodded, his hand tapping on his arm as he looked to the side. "So, you're pretty much this all powerful witch that knows little about magic. You're essentially this hero for us, and yet you still have to study here at Hogwarts like nothing is happening?"
