Light in the Dark // Sebastian Sallow

Lets Go

(Sebastian)

After breakfast I knew Athena would be studying with her friend group so I decided to hang out with Ominis for the day.

"Ominis, do you have a thing for Anne?" I ask just out of curiously.

Ominis looks like a deer in headlights "um, wh... what would make you think that Sebastian?"

I smile at him "it's okay if you do mate, I was just curious. You've always just been there for her. Even when I couldn't you were there for her. I know she's cursed but you should bloody well just tell her."

Ominis blurts out a laugh "really? You think because you finally asked Athena to be your girlfriend that you should be giving advice. What are you an expert now? But wait you really wouldn't mind if I talked to her?"

Sebastian rolls his eyes "you only get to live one life mate, why not spend it with the person you care most about. The person that makes you want to be a better man, who loves you unconditionally through even all your darkness, who can make you smile even when you know you are dying inside. Everyone deserves to have that. However, if you hurt her I swear to god, you may be like a brother to me but I will come after you."

At that very moment I receive my first letter from Anne since I saw her in Feldcroft this summer. As I started reading I told Ominis it was from her but I had to go.

I ran up the staircase to the room if requirement where I really study her letter.

'Dear Sebastian,

Ever since you and Ominis left it has been so lonely here. The people here are dwindling down every day. It's gloomy and I just want to hear the sound of Waves. I'm thinking about leaving and heading somewhere with Waves, I feel myself getting a little better each day. However it's not enough. I would love for you, Athena, and Ominis to come visit this weekend. I miss Hogwarts so much, wished I could be there with you guys.

Also, I think that it's getting worst around here. I'm scared of the people who are starting to take over this place. They don't seem to kind. Lots of prying eyes on me all of the time.

Please do not worry about me, I will be just fine here! Take care of your studies. Tell Ominis and Athena I said hello. Please come visit soon.

Your sister
Anne Sallow'

I must visit Anne tonight. It's about 6 o'clock now. I'm sure I can sneak out and get to her so she doesn't feel so lonely. God I'm a terrible brother. I've been having such an amazing time with Athena, and Anne has been suffering. My twin. I head the door open and hear foot steps.

Athena is walking towards me and lifts my chin "Sebastian. How is she?"

I look away, I'm not sure if I'm mad. I'm not mad at her but more mad at myself. Ive have a whole library full of books with how to cure curses. " She's not doing well I don't think, she's extremely lonely in Feltcroft. Also I think some dark wizards are starting to take over Feldcroft, She wants to leave. We really should visit her. I was hoping we could leave tonight to see her."

Athena turns to me "we need to get her out of there, she's not safe if there's dark wizards trying to take over..I wonder who they are..."

I get up and take Athena's hand to pull her up and as we start to walk off she touch's my arm. "Sebastian I think just had a brilliant idea!"

I look at her with curious eyes "Brilliant? Go on..."

She looks confident but is little nervous "Why doesn't Anne say with my parents? We can go visit her on the holiday! My mom would love to have her and make her home cooked meals! Probably even take her shopping. My mom always wanted more kids but just wasn't able to. My mom doesn't have to work. She just does it because she loves being around people. I'm sure the empty nest is killing her with my brother being here!"

I look at her concerned but she continues "she'll be extremely safe with my mother and father. Plus, your my boyfriend which unfortunately puts you at risk of whoever these people are. I would rather Anne be protected by someone brilliant then be at Feldcroft with no one and not being served on."

I take Athena's hand "you really think she'd help Anne?"

"You've met her Seb, of course she will. She loves people and would love to have Anne."

At that very moment I kiss Athena. "Let's talk to Anne about it when we get to Feldcroft. If she is willing to go, then we shall figure out how to get her there." I pause for a moment. "We need to get going."

Athena nodes in agreement and we dash out of the room.

"We should grab Ominis too I think? Also I need to write to my mother really quickly so we have to go to the common room anyway." Athena says out of breath.

Sebastian looks as if he wants to protests but then says "okay, okay quick trip to the common room but please hurry. I'm very worried about Anne."

We hurry down to the Slytherin common room to get Ominis and so Athena can write her letter. "I'll meet you back here in two minutes Athena. Hurry."

She nodes and rushes to the girls dorms.

I make my was quickly into my dorms and find Ominis "where the bloody hell have you been all day?" Ominis seems very angry.

"Oi, we'll talk later I need you help." I say to Ominis in a panic.

"Oh Merlin what happened to Anne? Is she alright?" He says panicked.

"I think people are starting to realize she's my sister, she said Dark Wizards are starting to fill into Feldcroft, she doesn't feel safe. I think it's best if we try and get her to stay with Athena's Parents. I trust them." I say confidently.

"How can we trust them Sebastian, I know you stayed with her for a month but do you really trust them with your sisters life?" He says trying to stay calm.

"Please Ominis, your going to have to trust me." I say pleading with him.

Ominis closes his eyes "Sebastian I trust you. Okay I trust you. It's not you. If anything happens to Anne....did you even think through where we're going to hide her until her mother can come? Have you thought this through at all?"

"Ominis we really need to get going, are you coming or not?" I say not trying to sound irritated.

"Where is she staying Sebastian? What if something goes terribly wrong? Do we just bring her to the hospital wing? You didn't think this through." Ominis says exasperatedly.

"It'll be fine come on. We need to leave now. Please Ominis...." I say feel defeated by his words.

"Fine. We will be talking about these things on our way to get her though. Understand?" Ominis says earnestly.

"Yes, Sir" I salute him.

We find Athena sitting in the common room waiting to us.

"Bloody hell Sebastian you said two minutes ...." She said worried.

"It's alright, I needed to convince Ominis to come with us." I say to Athena.

"Now let's go before I change my mind." Ominis says storming off.

"We'll he's on a chipper mood isnt he?" Athena says Smiling.

"Let's go.." I tuck my hand on her lower back as we walk out of the common room.
