Light in the Dark // Sebastian Sallow

Your Distracting

(Athena)

Anne and Ominis stayed behind to talk to a few friends that she hasn't seen in awhile.

Imelda turns to me really quickly and says "I won't be in your dorm this year, I've got my own room. Just know that 7th years have a little more freedom because most of us are of age. Be careful and I'll see you tomorrow at breakfast? I've got to go help the prefects with the first years. Love you lots. Stay out of trouble Athena." She say winking at me and rushing off.

I turn back to face Sebastian who has his chin resting on his hand, drumming his fingers on the table impatiently.

I raise my eyebrow at him " Come on grumpy, let's go."

He gets up first and takes my hand to help me up. "Off to the common room? That's so boring...." Sebastian says rolling his eyes.

"The common room? What are we in 5th year Sallow? No. No. I have something else In mind." I say smirking looking straight forward.

"The room of requirement." Sebastian says as we exit the great hall.

"You know me to well."

"I know you love those beast."

"And you don't?"

"Well. One of the nifflers tried very hard to steal the pocket watch you gave me for Christmas, however he has yet to succeed."

"I can't wait to see highwing. I missed my feathery friend." I say smiling.

"Highwing is a Delight. Also, she's a brilliant flyer. Perhaps she would like the Sallow Residence...." Sebastian says walking backwards happily showing off.

"I was actually going to ask Poppy to help me find places for all the beasts. Perhaps at person who specializes in breeding?"

"But we're keep Highwing, And the Phoenix.... And the Graphorn."

"Your a pisser."

"I am not."

"You want to keep the Graphorn..."

"He's grown on me."

"He has not."

"He has, he let me in the room."

"Okay, no we're not keeping him. We'll find him a better home."

"I've always wanted a cat." Sebastian says opening the door to the room of requirement.

"A cat?"

"A orange and white cat."

"Not a black cat."

"I do love black cats too."

"Okay, so we now have highwing, the Phoenix, Graphorn, and a cat, oh and two kids." I say with a laugh.

Sebastian shrugs "No that sounds lovely."

Sebastian Owl comes swooshing through one of the window of the room of requirement and reaches out his leg for Sebastian to take the letter.

"It's from Pippins." Sebastian says happily "he wants me to come by tomorrow after classes."

"J. Pippins... like the man who sells potions at Hogsmeade?" I say rather confused.

"Oh, yes he's the one. I got myself i job this summer. He said I could start when school started." Sebastian say's cheerfully.

I'm completely shocked for a moment. "Sebastian that's fantastic! Your amazing at potions so this is perfect! But what about quidditch...." I say looking disappointed.

"I think there are more important things to worry about than quidditch love." He says coming over and putting his hand on my stomach.

I blush. "This is your last year Sebastian. Enjoy it will you?" I say wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Taking care of you, and them... that's all a need. I love you." He says grabbing my face and kissing me gently.

I put my forehead on his "Before we left for school my aunt reached out to me."

"Your mothers twin?"

I shake my head "she said that my mother has left her In charge of everything. So I wrote her back telling her everything that has happened between well then and now. She wrote me back today, told me she completely understood. She is here for us, but also, I now own the gringotts vault my mother would save our money in. My fathers money went toward there funeral... and debt. They didn't know about my mothers money and my aunt stayed quiet. So do what must for Pippins, he's lovely. But don't stress to much."

"Bloody Hell, I don't know if I should be extremely sad or happy right now." Sebastian says running his hand through his hair with a nervous laugh. "I have an obligation to Mr. Pippin which I intend to keep. Having extra money won't hurt us."

I sigh "do as you wish my love, but I do love to see you on that broom." I say flirtatiously turning my back to Sebastian.

"Oh no you don't!" Sebastian says lifting me up and running is to the beach.

"Put me down Sallow!"

"You don't get to show me that arse and not expect me to admire you completely." He says gently laying me down on the sand.

I giggle and blush, rolling my eyes at him.

"You know, I didn't think I could be anymore attracted to you." He says making me feel hot air around my neck as he speaks. "And yet, every day," he kissed my neck "you somehow do something," kissing my torso "that makes me more and more attracted to you."

I cackle at him, pushing him off of me playfully. "Sallow your a distraction, I'm going to go cuddle some of my favorite animals and I'll meet up with you later." I say waving him off, laughing while I walk away.

"Yes, but Im your favorite distraction!" Sebastian shouts after me playfully.

"If that's what makes you sleep at night, Sallow." I say rolling my eyes but not looking back at him.

"Highwing - hey pretty lady." I say to my Hippogriff friend bowing before I approach her.

She bows back and nips my fingers playfully I laugh at her interaction "hey, hey I missed you too!! Here take this as a peace offering." I say giving her some treats. She immediately senses something different about me and nudges my stomach gently. I'm surprised at her actions for some reasons. I should of known beasts can tell your pregnant, she has her own babies of her own. I pat her head and smile at her. I put my head against hers and find peace in the moment.

I hear Sebastian In the background talking with one of the beasts "aha! You tried my little friend, but you still didn't get it. You have one more year of this you know." He says to the niffler making me and highwing look up and over at him.

I can't help but laugh at the cute little niffler  giving Sebastian Puppy dog eyes. "Alright, you little pisser, here's your treat. Alright?" Sebastian says handing over his treats to the niffler smiling happily as the niffler tickles his fingers to take the treats.

Sebastian looks over to me and smiles. "Highwing. Hello old friend." Sebastian says as he bows to her, she bows her head and Sebastian approaches us.

I found myself day dreaming for a moment. Wishing we didn't have to go back to the common room. I didn't want to leave Sebastian....

All of a sudden a small hut appears on the other side of the beach. "I love this room..." I say making Sebastian look up at the hut too.

"Is that for us?"

"I doubt it's for Highwing here."

"Your a smartass."

"You wouldn't have it any other way, now come on." I say getting up.

We make our way into the small hut which has a bed, a very small kitchen, and a separate door that leads to a small bathroom.

I turn to see Sebastian smiling at me "I love the room of requirement."
