Light in the Dark // Sebastian Sallow

Be Safe

(Athena)

The next day I'm in professor Hecats office explaining what Sebastian and I overheard the night before. The Defense Against the Dark Arts sits at her table and listens to every word carefully.

"Thank you for Informing me right away Athena. For now, no more adventures out of the castle. Clearly someone is trying to get to you. Let me talk to Professor Sharp and see if we can get some Aurors he can trust on the ground near Hogsmeade and Hogwarts. To keep you safe I would like to teach you additional defensive spells to keep yourself safe. I wouldn't normal teach these to students but you clearly need these."

I shake my head "Thank you Professor."

I say turning to leave "Athena, keep yourself safe and be wise. Again I know and hear many things. Be wise."

I don't look back "yes of course professor. Thank you"

I leave the class room.

Sebastian is waiting for me in the undercroft which I haven't visited in a long time.

"Seb you should went to class." I look at him concerned.

"Oh you know I wasn't going to miss this conversation. What did Hecat say?" I told him about the Aurors and her teaching me additional spells she wouldn't normally teach.

"Oh, and I can't leave the castle until they can figure out what's going on"

Sebastian smiles at me "well then we'll just have to hang out in here or the room of requirement then."

I cross my arms and look up at him. He grew a couple of inches this summer. He's trying to make me feel better, honestly, Im still floating on cloud nine after our date the other day."

"Come on Seb, let's get to our next class before we both get detention."

Word started to spread about Sebastian and I sparking up a relationship, we both didn't care. We were both happy walking hand in hand to our classes, occasionally he'd hold my bag for me walking to our next classes.

I was the new 5th year student last year so I would see people pointing and whispering all the time, I'm use to it. Sebastian being his flirty and confident self didn't seem to let it bother him ever, in fact I think he kind of enjoyed people knowing I was his, and he was mine. He was mine.

After a long day of classes we head to the dinning halls. I could see Sebastian staring daggers at someone I turn to see who he's facing when I notice Garreth Weasley looking at me.

"Sebastian it's okay. Let it go. I don't know why Weasley is looking at me but let it go. He's not worth it."

I turn back around to see Garreth finally talking to one of the 4th year Gryffindors.

Sebastian eyes soften "I don't like that, if he touches or even looks at you again I swear to Merlin..."

I know why he's being so protective because of what happened at the beginning of the year, I can't help but giggle a little and Sebastian smiles at me "what's so funny my lady?"

I blush "just you. It's sweet your so protective."

Ominis says out of no where "well now that's it's official Athena, your really going to see protective."

Ominis says in a whisper "just look how he was with Anne. I can only imagine how he'll be with you."

I roll my eyes and Sebastian puts his arm around Ominis and says "You can see a lot for a blind guy you know." Ominis smirks "Sod Off Sebastian."

We all laugh together.
