Light in the Dark // Sebastian Sallow

Nurse Blainey

(Athena)

I wake up in my bed wearing Sebastian's shirt. My head is pounding, bloody hell. I grab my head as I lift up my body off the bed.

"Athena, how lovely to see you. Please lay back down you seem to be In pain.. Nurse Blainey says with her brown bag In her hand.

"Nurse Blainey, what are you doing here?" I say completely confused.

"I heard your news and congratulations, let me check you out. Have you been feeling nauseous, headaches, any aches or pains? I have a couple potions that should help you through this pregnancy my dear. Also here I brought you some Ginger tea. Drink it, I already gave Sebastian the recipe already."

I lay myself back down on the bed and she hands me the tea. "Right now my head hurts, and I have felt a litttle Nauseous...."

"Perfect! After your done your tea, here's a potion for you. It will help you with the Nausea and headaches. Also I would like you to check in with me at least once a month. Here is the potion ingredient and directions for you to make it yourself." She says pressing on my stomach and checking me.

"Thank you" I say finally feeling relief.

"My dear, of course. I remember my first child. It's a blessing my dear! Chin up. Do you have any questions or concerns?" nurse blainey asks me curiously.

I take a deep breath and let out every.

(Sebastian)

"Sebastian, please stop pacing... here take a book. Read something while you wait." Ominis says while reading the daily prophet.

"Ominis you'd be pacing too if it were Anne. So piss off." I say annoyed at him.

"She's fine Sebastian. nurse blainey will take good care of her. She's has kids of her own, perhaps she can give her good advice?" Anne says stuffing the rest of her crumpet in her mouth.

I sit down next to Ominis and sigh pressing my fingers to the bridge of my nose.

"Okay, not your shaking your leg, Sebastian...." Ominis says hitting me with his Daily Prophet. "Here take this. Please. I will be outside." Ominis says getting up and kissing Anne on the cheek as he leaves.

Anne sits next to me as I open the Daily Prophet "He's worried about her too, Bash..."

"He has a weird way of showing it."

"I think he misses you. 6th year was bad for him, he felt Lonely not having you around as much. You realize what he did for you? What he has done for you? He has gone above and beyond to keep you from going to Azkaban. I was so ready to throw you In there, watching you kill Solomon." Anne says looking at me with distain.

"Anne..."

"He went home Sebastian. He got his father to get the ministry to drop your name completely from the investigation..." Anne says looking at me with fury.

"He did what?" I say shocked. "Anne, I had no idea he did that. Why didn't he tell me that? I would of told him absolutely not."

"You spent all of your time with Athena, and then when you joined us that summer, you weren't yourself."  Anne says looking less furious.

"I should go talk to him.." I say getting up and walking outside to find Ominis standing all the way on top of the Clift looking outwards.

"Why didn't you tell me you went home that summer?" I say apparating next to Ominis.

"What good would that have done."

"I thought you hated me."

"Loathed, perhaps. But I never could hate you. The thought of you being in Azkaban... it was to much. They were the only people I could turn to... to stop all of this."
