Light in the Dark // Sebastian Sallow

Lets Go Kick Some Ass

(Athena)

The extra security that was once at the castle is now out looking for Poppy.

"Athena!" I hear Natty say.

"Natty, Amit just told us where he thinks Poppy might be. were going there right now." I gesture to Sebastian and I.

Natty Grins "let me grab a few people and we can help" she says in a whisper.

I look at her disapprovingly "Natty your mother already hates me for what happened last year, I can't let you risk you life again.."

Natty looks Displeased "Athena, I'm a Gryffindor and a animagus, I'm small enough to sneak into areas and help. Poppy's my friend too, I want to help. I'm not asking, I'll just tell Amit to tell me where you guys are."

I shake my head "fine, meet us at Lower Hogsfield, be quick Natty. And bring wiggenweld potion." Natty give me a hug "let's go save out girl." I smile at her.

Sebastian and I head to the room of requirement, I need to upgrade some on clothes and grabs some potions for us before we go. "We're coming Poppy." I say softly to myself.

As I finish, Sebastian takes my hand and kisses me. "I don't have to tell you this, but this isn't going to be easy. You already know that." I look at him with brave eyes and he continues.

"I love you. I love you so much Athena Johnson. I'll will be right by your side. Forever." I take a deep breath in and put my forehead to his.

"I love you more than the moon and the sky. Lets go kick some ass." I say and we both smirk and head out of the room.

Lower Hogsfield is one of the places Natty and I would meet often. It's small but cute. Far enough away from the castle away from Nattys mom and prying eyes. Natty has been one of my best friends since I got her. I love being her partner in class and she's so courageous and fun to be around. I can and have talked to her for hours. She got hurt last year protecting me from the Cruciatus Curse. She was in the in the hospital wing for a day or two very week from the curse. I visited her and brought her candy. We talked and I promised myself I'd never let her get hurt for me again.

Sebastian and I are the first to arrive at Lower Hogsfield, it's still light outside thankfully. Makes it less suspicious that we're outside. However I cover myself up because, I'm not supposed to leave Hogwarts. Sebastian is leaning against the fence with his folded arms it makes me smile just looking at him. I walk up to him slowly and sink my body into his, he uncrosses his arms and holds my waist. I put my head on his chest and just take in the moment for him. For such a dark occasion, he always adds a light to my life.

"Anne wrote to me this morning." He says with his cheek on my head.

"Is she okay?" I take my head off his chest and look up at him.

"She is still very much cursed. However, your mom has been keeping her so comfortable, and teaching her a lot of different Muggle things she hasn't known about. She says that the home cooked meals were better than what uncle Solomon had man for her... she feels so loved and taken care of. Your mom has been making potions for her. Your mother wants to take her to your muggle doctor. They may not know curses but maybe they can scan and make sure there's no blood clots or something?" I smile at my moms attempts.

"Maybe she should go? My doctor is very talented. He might find something we are missing?? But we'll still keep looking through the books to see if we can find something."

He looks at me "you mentioned Greece, Athena you might be right. Each book that I have read are connecting everything to Greece. Including your magic. I think we should go there, sooner then next year."
