Serena visited Professor Fig the following day and handed him the book. Although she had gone through it the previous night but didn't understand a thing.

"Ancient runes...Hmm. How did you come across this book?"

"Uhmmm...It was in the library. Can you translate it?"

"Yes, but it takes time. - I'll get to it right away."

"Thank you, Professor. I gotta go to class."

I need to find Sebastian...I'll talk to him after Transfiguration class.

...

Throughout the entire class, she anxiously waited for Sebastian Sallow to arrive, but he never showed up.

Where is he? Is he in detention? But that's in the afternoon...

...

Her next class is History of Magic.

She sat behind Ominis. Mr. Binns commenced the lecture.

Halfway through the class, the blonde girl moved and sat beside Ominis, who was dozing off.

"Psst...Ominis." - Serena nudged him gently.

"Serena? What are you doing?" - He whispered.

"Do you know where Sebastian is?"

"He got into trouble. Black sent him home. - Why do you ask?"

Shit...I felt very bad. I will tell the headmaster It was my fault and he is innocent. I can't let him take the blame.

"Serena?"

"Nothing, I was just worried about him. I thought he was sick..."

"You are lying."

I forget he knows everything...Yes, I am a liar, and I am a bad friend...

"It was my fault...I feel really bad."

"What did you do?"

"He got me into the Restricted Section. We got caught...He took the blame for it... - Oh, Ominis I need to talk to the headmaster."

"Don't worry, I've already talked to him. He left because of his sister. Sebastian will be back tomorrow."

"What? Then why did you put it like that? I thought he was expelled because of me. - Ominis that's not funny..."

"I was going to teach you a lesson so you wouldn't lie to me next time."

"I hate lying anyway... What's wrong with Anne?"

"How much did he tell you?" - Ominis crossed his arms.

"He told me that she was cursed and she is ill now."
