[ON HOLD INDEFINITELY] Comfortable in the Chaos «Sebastian Sallow»

11. The Golden Ball

——Ominis POV——
The ball sounded like loads of fun. I could tell everyone was filing into the main hall, waiting for the festivities to begin. I could smell so much food.

Meanwhile my best friends were here with the wrong person, held captive by a blasted love potion.

And here I was praying to Merlin the potion cure I made would work.

" Alright we need to find Sebastian. He's likely to be with Reyes. And if he is I need you two to distract her so I can force him to take the cure." I explained.

" We're looking right now. I had no idea everyone would be here." Poppy said sounding frustrated.

" Wait I see them! Come on" Natty said leading me to their location.

" Do you have a plan to distract them?" I asked.

" Nope I say we wing it" poppy said quickly sounding very unsure.

" Imelda!! Your dress is stunning!" Natty said beaming.

I could hear Imelda twirl around a bit. " Oh thank you!! Me and Sebastian are matching." She said.

Gross.

I could hear Sebastian kiss her and instantly wanted to vomit.

" Oh!" Poppy said in shock. " Imelda! Your dress seems to have a slight tear in the back..." poppy said.

Great thinking poppy. I affirmed to myself.

" what!!" Imelda exclaimed.

" I have a sewing kit! Wanna go to the bathroom so I can patch it up real quick?" Natty chimed in.

" hmm yeah might be best. I wonder how that happened. Good thing you Gryffindors are so well prepared." She said. " Sebastian, Darling I'll be right back." She said.

I could hear their footsteps fade away. I pulled out the love potion cute. Knowing how Sebastian is normally, he wouldn't take the potion without me telling him what it was. So I have to be clever.

" Sebastian. How are you enjoying the ball?" I asked.

" It's lovely just to be spending time with Imelda." He sighed happily.

It took everything in me to not cringe.

" I'm glad to hear it.." I said dryly. " Listen I need your help."

" What is it?" He asked.

" Can you do me a favor and drink this potion? I just finished it before the ball and I'm eager to know if it works. You should be able to not only hear the music but see it." I made up on the fly. I don't even know if such a potion exists.

" of course I'm blind, so I don't know if it actually works or not unless someone who does have vision takes it." I continued the lie. I'd say it was a rather good one. Learning from Valeria's skill has paid off I suppose.

" See music?" He scoffed and took the potion out of my hand. " Honestly I gotta see if it works. I'm far too curious about it now. But I'm going to be disappointed if it doesn't" he chuckled.
