Light in the Dark // Sebastian Sallow

Tease

(Athena)

"Okay, so memories with your family aren't working... so what if you tried one with Sebastian?" Anne says sitting down her head against one of the huge pillars in the undercroft.

We have have practicing my Patronus for hours. I was getting frustrated and annoying. I'm a brilliant witch, what the hell is wrong with me? Why can't I get this spell.

"It's hopeless Anne." I say flopping myself on the floor in frustration.

"It's not Hopeless, Athena. You just need to find the right memory. If you can create this Ancient Magic that can destroy goblins in mid fight, you can do this easily. Now up." Anne says sternly making me stiffen up.

"Anne..."

"Now"

"Ugh, ... fine."

I take a deep breath and try and think of a memory of Sebastian and I.

"Lets give you a proper Hogwarts Welcome." Sebastian says smirky.
I whoop his ass ten seconds later.
Boy did that feel good.

"Athena! You got sparks! Try a different memory!"

"There was No one else. I came alone."
Sebastian says to the librarian.

"Again Athena your close!"

I think back to our first date.

"Sebastian, this waterfall is so beautiful... your incredible you know that?" I say after Sebastian has asked me to be his girlfriend.

"We'll I had to share it with one of the most important ladies in my life, now didn't I?" He says with a smirk.

"How long have you liked me?" I say with a blush.

"Honestly, I don't think it was a single moment. It's a collection of small moments that just made me fall for you..."

"A collection of small moments? Like what... I'm intrigued!" I say with a laugh.

"Well, our first interaction in the common room you caught my attention. Then you beat Natty in Summoner's Court, you beat my arse in a duel. It was that trip to Hogsmeade we took... I knew you were different. I also knew I had to help you and protect you. With Ranrok and Rookwood after you, leviosa wasn't going to save your life. Almost everyone moment I got to spend with you made me forget about my other problems. You were the only person who would listen to me, or even agreed there had to be a way to save Anne. You were my soundboard, you were my best friend when Ominis couldn't be. Then I learned you were talking to a goblin and it destroyed me, I was in so deep, I felt betrayed by the one person who could save me, and my sister. I was a coward. I continued to help you, as you continued to help me. The unbreakable duo. You were there for me when no one else was. You saved me from Azkaban. I would do anything for you Athena. You are my rock, and my world. So yes, many moments have made me want to be by your side. No Mater what. I will be there for you. I promise."

"ATHENA! You did it!" Anne says now standing looking in awe at my Patronus.

I open my eyes and see a small blue dragon flying around the undercroft.

"Wicked!" I says excited running over to Anne to give her a huge hug. "I can't believe Anne! We did it!!"

"You did it Athena!" She says with a laugh. "I'm proud of you. What did you think of?"

"My first date with Sebastian. I asked him when he realized he liked me. His answer was VERY good." I say blushing with a small chuckle.

"Clearly." Anne says rolling her eyes sarcastically.
