The Heartbreak Prince Sebastian Sallow

Chapter 31: One Drink

After so much studying of the dress I wanted and got some more studying in for my potions essay, I felt as though Id visit my dear friend, Mr. Hill, regarding my dress the following day. The stress of the ball only now two days away had my heart on high alert. Most of the other girls in the common room already started talking about their many dresses that they had already received from Gladrag's and now were getting accessories for the dress. 

I slipped on some dark blue jeans, my winter fur boots and a heavy jacket with fur that rounded the hood and the ends of the sleeves. It had just started to snow outside and freezing to death was definitely not on my list this go around.  

I swept my long hair to one side in a braid letting it hide in the jacket from the cold as I stepped out of the castle. Feeling the brisk cold air slap my face as I grabbed my coat, pulling it closer to myself to keep the warmth from escaping. 

My feet crunched against the snow till I finally found myself at the entrance of Hogsmeade. As cold as it was, the town was in a hustle as they scrambled to get the Christmas decorations up. Some with green and red lights or using magic to put the many bulbs on the large tree that sat in the middle of Hogsmeade. 

I stepped up to Gladrag's store opening it slowly, listening to the bell on top of the door ring loudly as it announced my arrival. 

"Oh, isn't it my favorite customer!" Mr. Hall said from the other side of the room, stitching up a dress, hemming the many crystals on it. 

I smiled brightly, dusting off the snow that had landed on my shoulders.

"Hello Mr. Hall, good to see you again." 

"What can I do for you?" he asked as he came back up to the counter. 

I pulled out the book from under my coat, opening it up to the page I wanted. 

I laid it in front of him, he slipped his glasses further up his nose as he buried his face nearly in my book. Looking at the many details of the dress. 

"Hmmmmm... interesting. Very different from what I'm used to doing." He said.

"I want it in this color with the outline to be in black. Think you can do that?" I asked curiously.

He scoffed. "Have I ever not delivered from your oh so many requests?"

I smiled. "Will it be done in time?" I asked. 

"I will have it delivered to your room my dear just in time for the ball. This will be exquisite on you but only if you send all your many friends my way. You know how it is. Good business."

"You can count on me."

I walked out of the shop, zipping my jacket back up as I headed in the direction of the Three Broom Sticks. All that walking made me extremely thirsty and a good cold butterbeer sounds great about now. 

As I walked through the door my eyes finding the one person I didn't think I would find here. Sebastian warm brown eyes meeting mine immediately as Ominis sat next to him as he slipped on a butterbeer. Foam hitting the top of his lips causing me to slightly chuckle as he tried prying it off.

I walked up to the bar, ordering myself a drink, as I looked out in the corner of my eye, Sebastian and Ominis bickering on and off in the corner. Multiple eye rolls coming from Sebastian as he got up swifty. My heart felt as though it was on fire as he came up to stand next to me at the bar. Our gaze meeting as he towered over me. 

"Ominis won't leave me alone till I invite you to our table." Sebastian bluntly said.

I laughed slightly. "Is that so?" I asked.
