Light in the Dark // Sebastian Sallow

Going Back to Hogwarts

(Athena)

It was bitter sweet looking at the castle for the for the first ... last time. We made it early so we could put out belonging away in our dorms before heading to the great hall.

I take a deep breath while looking at the beauty of the castle. I thought I wouldn't be seeing it again this year, so standing here admiring its beauty definitely triggers some feelings for me.

I feel a hand in mine, I turn and see Anne looking at the castle with tears In her eyes.

"You ready?" Anne says taking a deep breath.

"Do you remember when we first arrived Anne... mum and dad use to take us here all the time to visit ... but they made us go on the train our first year. It's where we met a blind boy... wait what was his name again? Oliver? Omari.... Otis...Meh, doesn't matter." Sebastian says reminiscing shrugging nonchalantly.

I turn around to look at the two guys bickering.

"Ha-ha- Sebastian. You're so clever. Actually, if my memory is correct... I asked if I could join your compartment on the train. You two were sitting with Andrew. Andrew Larson."

"Who?" I say as we continue walking to the the castle.

"You never met Andrew?" Anne says surprised. "He's a 7th year Ravenclaw.. he actually wrote to me a lot while I was away."

"You and Larson still talk?" Sebastian says frowning.

"What's wrong with Andrew? He never did wrong by me, plus he told me he's head boy this year!" Anne says looking between Ominis and Sebastian.

"I didn't know you kept In touch with Larson either." Ominis say's surprised.

"Larson is such a twat." Sebastian says with with Disgust.

"Wait a moment... are you still angry because he beet you in quidditch 4th year! Sebastian Nicolas Sallow, get over it. Your the twat." Anne says rolling her eyes and taking Ominis hand.

I look from Anne to Sebastian enjoying the banter, laughing at them both.

"What! Anne no! Merlin... I don't hold grudges for that long. Also, I'm going to defeat him this year. You watch!" Sebastian says confidently.

"What do you and Larson write to each other about?" Ominis says to Anne still stuck on her writing to him.

"Wait I want to hear more about your train ride!" I say with bright eyes, they completely got off track and I'm ready to hear the rest of the story.

"Ominis came in and sat right next to Anne, they talked the whole ride there. Anne always told me there was something special about Ominis. Anne doesn't trust quickly. So once we got off the train and got sorted into Slytherin, Anne every day would test Ominis and see if we could really trust him. Of course Ominis fell right into line with our duo, turning us into the unstoppable trio. Ominis has always been a brother to me. It's why we invited home with us for the summers! I couldn't imagine our summers being as fun as they were without him." Sebastian says grabbing my hand smiling as he remembers events that transpired his past 7 years here.

We finally make it to the castle with Anne and Ominis bickering about Larson.

As we turn the corner I see Deek.

"Deek!" I say excited to see him.

"Mrs Sallow! Lovely to see you! I've taken care of the beasts like you've asked! You should head up there after the ceremony! The beasts have multipled, we're going to have to find a new home for them this year Deek thinks. Mr. Sallow, good to see you sir!" Deek says shaking Sebastian's hand.
