Undying Devotion | Sebastian Sallow

Chapter 19

Sebastian's Perspective

The week following my date with Y/n has been busy. Classes are in full swing now loading us down with homework and assignments and Y/n just finished her first trial the Keepers are making her do.

I find it a bit bizarre that they are making her do these dangerous trials to harness her power or figure out if she is worthy to harness or protect the powers. I honestly don't know what their plan is for her and neither does she.

She told me before she was leaving for the trial what was going on and the entire time she was gone I paced in the common room eagerly awaiting her return. I was worried sick about her and I had every right to be. She came back in utter shambles. There was blood caked all over her and her clothes were tattered.

I was furious with the Keepers for putting her in such danger, but she tried to assure me everything was alright. I insisted she let me come with her on all her other quests that did not involve ancient magic. I knew only she could complete the tasks the Keepers gave her, and I had to respect that. If she trusts them, then I will.

She was on a dangerous mission practically every day. People were asking her to save the day left and right. I was amazed to see adults ask Y/n to carry out dangerous tasks. She is a student! How could they be so willing to put a student's life in danger like that?

Y/n was all about helping people and being kind so my protests to the tasks were in vain. I wasn't able to stop her, but I could at least make sure she was safe.

We never left each other's side. We would occasionally find ourselves in an intense snog after completing a particularly dangerous task. She made it all worth it. I did not care about the spiders and trolls as long as I got to be with her.

We kept our affectionate moments to a minimum when we were on school grounds, still wanting to keep whatever we have going on private. Our friends knew that we went on a date and knew something was going on between us, but they never saw any public displays of affection between us.

We would have small moments where we would brush knees when we were sitting in class, our hands would graze in the hallways, and when I was feeling more desperate for her attention throughout the day I would pull her into an empty corridor and sneak a quick kiss from her.

Things are going well with us and I once again feel happy. I believe we are moving towards a proper relationship, and today is the next step in that direction. Y/n meets Anne today. I sent her an owl to meet me at Feldcroft today, and now I patiently wait for the woman of my dreams to arrive to meet my twin sister.

I stand at a small wooden tower that looks over the hamlet while I wait for her. I nervously pace hoping that her and Anne get along. I hope she likes my sister. I hope my sister likes her. I hope she doesn't judge me because of where I am from. I think about what Alliser Malfoy said about me to her, calling me common and saying she deserves a man with power and class.

Sure I cannot give her a large estate, buy her the expensive wines, and get her fancy jewels, but I can give her love and make her dreams come true. I can give her a cottage on the shoreline with a large garden and loving children. I can give her the things she really wants from life.

I see a figure on a broom approaching my hamlet at an impressive speed. I squint my eyes to look closer. Merlin! It is Y/n!

She is fast on a broom and her control is excellent. How is it that she is perfect at everything she does? She could easily be a Chaser for our quidditch team. Hell she could take my spot as a Seeker.
