Light in the Dark // Sebastian Sallow

Detention

(Athena)

The next day Sebastian, me and surprisingly Lucan are standing in Professor Weasleys office awaiting to find out what we would be doing for our Detention.

Professor Weasley haven't entered the room yet so Sebastian sparks up a conversation with Lucan "what the bloody hell did you do this time Lucan?"

Lucan smirk "Sebastian, you bloody well know you and I have the most detentions at this school. I should be asking you what SHE'S doing here.." the door opens.

"The three of you will be helping Professor Magnolis tonight, he said he will be waiting in his room. Go on now." She shews us out of her office.

I give Sebastian a nervous look. I didn't take this class because I couldn't stomach not seeing Professor Fig. Now I had to meet this new professor which I know nothing about.

I sigh "Lucan do you know anything about this Professor?" I ask out if curiosity.

As we start walking to the classroom Lucan starts telling us "well, he's actually one of my favorite professors! I took it to see if I could help get some ideas for new spells because with the dueling club I would love to help students out more with different spells. I'm hoping to create a spell of my own someday." Lucan continues to talk until we get to Professor Figs Classroom.

We walk into the classroom and head up the stars -knock, knock, knock.- "come on in. Ah yes, I've been expecting you three. Come in now." He was very young, maybe in his Twenties very attractive with dark black hair, clean shaved, dark skin, blue eyes.

"Ah you two must be Athena Johnson and Sebastian Sallow." He shakes our hands.

"Very nice to meet you both. Now if you would kindly follow me.." he says walking toward the door. We head back into the hallway and down the main stairs when he takes us to .. "sir.." I say "where exactly are we going?"

"Well, Athena, I've been doing some side job researching just for fun. Professor Fig was always a good lad. Kept notes and books everywhere!" He stops in his tracks "have you ever heard of ancient magic?"

I gulp oh no here we go "is that what your after, sir?"

He looks at me surprised "not after no, just curious about it! It sounds very fascinating. How do you know about it?"

Lucan turns and says "what is Ancient Magic?" 

I turn to Sebastian who's eyes are are wide as mine. I don't know if I can trust this professor, but if he's anything like professor fig, he might be able to help so I turn to Lucan and say "It's an extreme form of magic, only people who can see traces of it can wield it. It's Rumors that Hogwarts was build with it." I say confidently knowing full well that's exactly what Hogwarts was built on.

The Professor looks at me surprised "so you do know what it..." I'm hesitant to tell him more.

Sebastian cuts me off "so our detention is to find some rare magic that none of us can see. So really, we're just going to be wondering around doing nothing? Okay..." and Sebastian keeps walking. I'm so grateful he's here right now and just saved my ass.

Sebastian knows I can see Ancient Magic, has seen me use it many times. He must not trust the professor yet either.

I follow his lead "seems like a waste of time professor, shouldn't we be cleaning something or maybe help the house elves?" I say trying to catch up with Sebastian.

The Professor catches up to us. "You two are going in the wrong direction. Come on it's a small cave in the forbidden Forrest." We both stop and look at each other.
