Light in the Dark // Sebastian Sallow

Stop Talking to Me

(Sebastian)

"Ah, Mr. Sallow, come in come in." Professor Weasley says confidently "Professor Magnolis has requested you for detention this evening." She says pursing her lips.

My stomach drops "yes Professor." I say sourly.

"Sebastian please be nice to to him today.." Professor Weasley says In a worried tone.

"Yes. Professor." I say not wanting to argue with her.

I make my way out of Professor Weasley office into the hall where I find Ominis.

"Ominis, walk with me." I say starting Ominis out of studying.

"Sebastian I'm enjoying the peace, and your ruining it. Go away." Ominis says annoyed.

"Ominis come on, I have to go to Professor Magnolis class for detention which I'm dreading, the last time I had detention with him he almost let me die. Please just walk with me." I say grumpily.

Ominis face goes white "what on earth are they sending you to him for again?"

"Don't know, hopefully he doesn't need to go on another secrete adventure." I say helplessly.

"I don't like this Sebastian. Hopefully Salis isn't there with you." Ominis says going whiter.

I sigh not even thinking of that. "Now that's just cruel Ominis. It's okay. I can take them both in a duel." I say confidently.

"Maybe with Athena being there, your a good duelist but not that good, mate." Ominis says hollowly.

"Thanks for the support, my friend. I can always count on your to help with that." I say rolling my eyes.

We make our way to Professor Magnolis room "Be careful Sebastian. Forget the consequences and just get out. I'm serious. I don't get a good aura from either of them."

"You know, I'm getting the feeling you do care about me. Somewhere deep down you care Ominis." I say charmingly.

"Shut it Sebastian. I take back everything I said." Ominis turns around and walks away.

"It's okay Ominis, I know you love me deep down." I say shouting after him

Ominis shoots me a finger that would offend many people, it makes me laugh.

"Sallow, you're late. 30 points from Slytherin." Professor Magnolis exclaims the minuet I enter the room.

I sigh but stay silent. I know he's trying to get under my skin already. At least Salis isn't here.

"Now, I'm very behind so if you would go upstairs and file my paperwork in Alphabetical order. If you see students that are past our 7th years rid of them. It's just taking up extra space." He says not looking at me continuing to do his paperwork.

I make my way up the stairs to his office, open the door and see Salis already started on filing. I roll my eyes and ignore that he's even in the room.

"Sallow? What the.... They are putting us in detention together. Bloody hell." Salis says annoyed.

"If you just shut the fuck up, I can pretend you don't exist." I say with gritted teeth.

He stops what he's doing and looks at me "now, now, still upset about what happened?" He says trying to irk me.

I say nothing, but feel my blood boil. I know he's trying to get a reaction from me.

"Come on Sallow, loosen up. She's a very pretty girl. You can't blame me for giving it a shot. However, what is with her burning people? How do you deal with that? Does she burn your cock when your about to.." at his words my wand is at his neck.

"Think about your next words Carefully Greengrass." I say doing everything in my power not to cast him into oblivion.

He looks at me and laughs. He Pushes my wand off his throat, and says "I'm not afraid of you Sallow. Your girl is a little intimidating. Are you scared of her? Is that why you are with her all the time?" He says confidently.

I lower my wand, it giving him the time of days "Think whatever Salis. Im not playing your games. Your not worth another detention." I say calmly trying to not show him that he's getting under my skin.

We spend the rest of the detention in silence.

8 pm comes around slowly. Professor Magnolis comes in the doorway "ah, you both didn't bloody kill yourselves. Disappointing." He smirks. "You'll both be back tomorrow night to finish your detention. Whatever you didn't get done you'll finish tomorrow. Now get out of my sight Sallow, Salis a word before you go."

I pretend to leave by turning the corner, but linger to hear what he has to say.

"You bloody Idiot. You had one job. The master didn't say assault the girl."  Professor Magnolis spits at Salis.

"She's a tramp and you know it. I'll get her on my side. Don't worry." Salis says calmly.

"Get her on your side? How is she suppose to trust you after what you did you dumbass. The master will not be pleased with you."  Professor Magnolis says. "Now get out of my sight. Get one her good side  Greengrass."

I stump out of the room running fast to the room of requirement. They aren't going to hurt her. I won't let them.

Ominis and Athena are laughing doing homework as I barge in "Athena I have to talk to you." I say breathing Heavily.

"Are you alright, Bash' what's wrong?" Athena stands up and wraps her arms around me in a hug.

Feeling her touch calms me and I take a moment to breath her in. Lavender.

I take her by the hand, and lead her to the couch where Ominis is. I start tell them exactly what I heard. Leaving out the parts of Salis being a git before hand.

"Athena, there working together. Whatever they have planned it involves you." I look at her nervously. "I need to quit quidditch." I say bluntly.

"Sebastian... what? Are you out of your bloody mind. You're not quitting. Imelda will kill you. She's probably already furious you got yourself detention when you should be practicing." Athena looks at me perplexed.

"Your not safe, and" I getting frustrated.

"And? And what? Are you going to punch Salis in the face everytime he looks at me? Come one Sebastian. I'm not saying that Magnolis and Greengrass aren't working together. However you can't always be there Sebastian, nor would it be fair to stop doing things you love to protect me. Like you said I can protect myself. I appreciate what your trying to do, but it'll be okay. I'll try and stick to a friend while your away. Right, Ominis?" Athena says looking at Ominis.

"Right, of course. Athena is right Sebastian.  We'll try not to cross ways with them. However, Sebastian I think you should request a different task for tomorrow with Professor Weasley." Ominis says turning to Sebastian with concern written all over his face.

"And tell her what precisely?" I say officiously.

"Your so thick sometimes Sebastian, honestly. Just tell her you can't do detention with Salis right now. Offer to help the house elves or do anything else." Ominis says badgered rolling his eyes.

I look at Athena and she gives a silent nod shrugging her shoulders, and shoots me a face as if to say "he's right".

I sigh, "alright tomorrow after transfiguration I'll figure something out." I say exasperated that these two are agreeing with eachother.

"Blast it, I need to go." Ominis says getting up getting his books together and leaving.

"Where is he off to?" I say looking confused.

Athena shrugs looking Perplexed herself.

"You promised me something earlier you know. Fancy a Snog?" Athena says eyes burning into me.

"Oh I definitely Fancy you, darling." I say pulling her close to me.

I didn't get much homework done.
