(Sebastian)

Ominis and I make our way to the prefects bathroom.

"Sebastian, this is absurd. What are we doing" Ominis whispered to me as we are under the disillusionment charm.

"It'll be fine, we're fine." I say unsure of my own words.

"Why can't you just leave this alone. You are such a nutter for doing this." Ominis says annoyed.

"You didn't have to come, I just thought it would be nice to go on an adventure with you. We don't go on adventures anymore." I say kind of feeling disappointed.

"Oh, gee, I wonder why that is." He says flatly.

"What?"

"Last year all your adventures involved the dark arts." Distraught in Ominis voice.

"Also it's not the same without Anne."

I stop at his words.

"Anne does make everything very interesting to say the least" I say smiling.

"But hey she'll be here next year! It'll be like the old times!" I say trying to change the mood.

"Yes, yes, you're right about that..... I can't wait to see her again. I miss her dearly." Ominis says dolefully.

"Are you excited to be in your new place with her? Where exactly is it anyway?" I say trying to change the subject.

"Manor Cape, by the water. Far enough away from everything. Still close enough to the water. Its quiet but enough sound to keep the peace." Ominis says with a calming tone, as if he is drifting off somewhere else.

"I can't wait to see it mate, I'm very proud of you. You've become a man these past couple years. I couldn't of asked for a better person to be with Anne. Plus, you're already a brother to me." I say gratefully. I'm grateful for how Ominis has helped me all these years. I'm grateful he was the one who will take care of Anne. He is my best friend so calling him my brother will be a privilege.

"Thanks Sebastian. That's means a lot friend." Ominis says in a happy tone.

We make it to the prefects bathroom and we take our disillusionment charm off.

"Where the hell is he?" I say with anxiety in my voice.

"You're the one that wanted to come." Ominis says smartly.

"Sod Off Ominis." I say irritated.

We stand there for a few more moments when the door opens.

"I told you to come alone." Salis hisses at me.

"You don't call the shots." I say confidently.

Salis looks at Ominis and then back to me. He takes a breath in and then a long breath out.

"Fine." He says closing his eyes.

"What do you want Salis. I don't want to be here all night." I say to him leaning against the wall with my arms crossed trying not to sound annoyed that I'm here in the first place.

"He has my parents. He's torching them. If I don't give him what he wants he will kill both of them. Again I can only say so much because of - "

"The unbreakable vow yes." I say rolling my eyes.

"Who is he and what does he want with Athena?" I say anxiety pinging in my voice.

"Again I can only say s-"
