Light in the Dark // Sebastian Sallow

Professor Sharp?

(Sebastian)

I pace the hall back and fourth. Where is she? She should of been back by now.

"Sebastian, I'm sure she's fine! Didn't you say she was with her family?" Anne says getting to her feet walking towards me to hug me. "I'm sure Mrs. Johnson just made her a dinner! She'll be back soon I'm sure of it."

Ominis is in the living room playing the piano. "Anne dear, it's been a long day. Maybe you should get some rest."

"Ominis I've been resting forever! I finally have energy! Why don't we go out somewhere? Maybe I can write Violet and see if she'll meet us at the three broom sticks!" Anne says grabbing some paper.

I continue to pace. I feel like something is off. Why did she go to the ministry? It's already 7 o'clock.... Something is off.
"Im going to head off to The Johnson's house. Something feels off to me." I say halfway out the door.

"Sebastian! Your exhausted! She'll be back soon! Please go lay down and relax.... You almost look as bad as I do or did!" Anne says looking at me concerned.

I look at Anne, and I smile at her. I pull her into a hug. Once I release her I take her face in my hand "I'm so incredibly happy that your cured Anne. My heart is so incredibly happy to have my twin back. I love you." I say pulling her into another hug.

"She'll be alright Sebastian. If anything her parents took her out to celebrate your marriage! Now come on, I'll make something for you to eat and you need rest. I'm sure Athena is just fine." Anne says trying to lead me back into the house.

I look into Anne's eyes "I promise I'll be back soon Anne. Please go out with your friends if you must. But I need to make sure Athena is okay..." I say stepping away from Anne and Apparating to the Johnson Household.

The house is pitch black with the door wide open....

My heart sinks to my stomach.

Aurors surround the house.

One of them looks at me noticing I just apparated.

"Sir what happened? Where are the Johnsons? My wife might be in there... you have to let me through!" I say almost shouting at him.

"You know the Johnsons? Who is your wife, son?" He says making sure I don't go any further.

"Athena Johnson." I say looking as if I want to strangle him.

"You need to go home." He says sternly.

"I'm not leaving without her!" I say loudly.

"She's not here. We think someone took her and her brother.... You must leave."

"Took her? What of Mrs. and Mr. Johnson? What about Andrew?" I say breathing heavily.

"I can not disclose anymore information at this time."

"Who took her?" I say to him with fury in my eyes.

"Leave." He says shoving me away.

I feel a a hand touching my shoulder. I take my wand out so fast that I almost blast the person twenty feet away from me. Turning quickly, I see it's "Professor Sharp...." I say angry tears running down my eyes.

Professor Sharp takes me by the shoulder and does something that completely shocks me.

He hugs me.

He comforts me.

"They took her Sharp...." I feeling myself shake with fury.

"I know Sebastian, come let's go elsewhere to talk. Do you trust me?" Sharp says pulling his arm up.
