Consuming Darkness: Sebastian Sallow

Chapter 44

-Ronnie-

We walked together towards the Undercroft, Sebastian was muttering something and when I looked over he was pointing his wand at a small pebble in his hand.

"What are you doing?" I whispered. There was a flash of light and the pebble turned into a small jingle bell. I snickered and pulled the tie out of my hair. I threaded it through the top of the bell as Sebastian chuckled.

"What are you two plotting now?" Ominis groaned. "I swear being around you two gives me a migraine..."

"We made you a gift Ominis!" Sebastian replied cheerily.

"Wha-"

Sebastian jingled the bell, holding it by my hair tie between his pointer finger and thumb.

Ominis offered us a slow blink and another exasperated groan as he rubbed his hand down his face.

Sebastian and I couldn't help but bust out laughing. "Give me your wand!" I mused as I tried and failed to stifle my giggles.

"I will do no such thing!" Ominis exclaimed but his tone was slightly amused.

I laughed and turned to Sebastian. "Hold it up."

He held it high with a questioning smirk.

"Reducio," I said and pointing my wand at the bell, shrinking it so it was as big as a pinky nail.

Sebastian laughed and said excitedly, "Oi, come here Ron. I have an idea!"

"I do hate your ideas Sallow," Ominis huffed out rubbing his temples.

We ignored him and Sebastian held the bell between our ears. He pointed the wand at our ears muttering an incantation. He waved his wand around the bell and back to our ears and back to the bell and around our ears a few more times before turning to me with an eager smile. He jingled the bell again and there was a crisp, and slightly abrupt tinkling noise.

"What'd you do?" I asked.

"Now only Ronnie and I can hear it and it's too small for anyone to see it really," Sebastian told Ominis.

We made sure we didn't have an audience and walked into the Undercroft before continuing our conversation. "Wand," I commanded and held out my hand out to Ominis.

He gave another slow blink but put his wand in my hand with an amused chuckle. Sebastian and I looked at each other in shock. We both didn't think he'd actually agree to it. I tied the bell on his wand, just above the handle.

"You two are ridiculous...Honestly..." he chuckled as I handed him his wand back.

"Hey... It's more for your benefit than our own. I'm fine with you listening in if you want Om," Sebastian teased with a shrug.

My cheeks went hot and my mind went to what we had done last night. "I am not!" I exclaimed.

They both laughed at my embarrassment and Ominis began shaking his wand around nonstop until we both covered our ears.

"We might regret that!" I laughed out.

Ominis chuckled and stopped shaking his wand. "You're right 'Bash, this will benefit me greatly," he chuckled. "Now what did you nitwits need me for?"

"Well I personally just wanted to be called a 'nitwit' so I'm actually good," I teased nudging him slightly.m earning a good-hearted laugh from Ominis.

"Nothing can get me quite as giddy as some of the names Omi can come up with," Sebastian shrugged.

We laughed and I pulled Sebastian's book bag from his shoulder and walked to a desk near the back of the Undercroft, setting it down on top. They followed me, going on and calling each other more names. When they reached me Sebastian lightly tapped my bum. I turned on him and he gave me an innocent look.
