He's Back || Sebastian Sallow

CHAPTER 14 - Naughty Games

3rd PERSON POV

As the Gryffindors spilled into the Slytherin Common Room, Hunter got the music started. A heavy thudding blew out of the speakers, as metal music filled the room. Hunter had enchanted the sound system so if anyone wanted to request a song, they simply whispered the title and artist and it would join the playlist queue. It was bound to be a night of an interesting mix of music, as Slytherins and Gryffindors combined had a wide range of tastes including metal, electro, indie rock, grunge, and R&B music.

Garreth and Imelda met in the middle of the room, and shook hands.

"Ready to party, lion?" Imelda smirked.

"You bet," Garreth smiled playfully. He was in fact looking forward to spending the evening getting to know y/n's housemates better, and intended on making an extra effort with her girlfriends, in the hopes that they might convince y/n that he was worth pursuing.

Natty ran straight over to Sebastian and y/n.

"Y/n! Sebastian!" she yelled, hugging them one after the other. "I'm so excited to be here tonight and so grateful I have Slytherin friends to hang out with! Most of my fellow Gryffindors seemed a little nervous on the way over here," she chuckled. "Oh, OMI!" she shrieked as Ominis came over to join us, throwing herself on him for a huge hug. He smiled and patted her back awkwardly, he wasn't a huge fan of hugs but he loved Natty and made an exception for her.

Garreth and Leander wandered over to join Natty.

Garreth held his hand out to y/n, who was still sitting on the floor in front of Sebastian.

"Y/l/n! Long time no see, come up here and gimme a hug, darlin'!" He pulled y/n up to her feet and embraced her in a warm hug. "Wow, you look gorgeous tonight! And those braids look super cute," he smiled.

"Ah, admiring my artwork Garreth? Thanks, mate. I could braid yours for you too, since you seem to like them so much," Sebastian asked playfully.

It took a moment for Garreth to cotton on to what Sebastian was saying. "You braided her hair, Sallow? Huh, yeah, nice work!" he praised. It seemed the boys were going to make an effort to get along this evening, which y/n felt relieved about. That was the whole point of this event, after all.

"Hey hun," Leander finally piped up, leaning in to give y/n a quick peck on the cheek. Y/n accepted reluctantly, but smiled politely to join their effort in all getting along tonight.

"Shall we get a drink then?" y/n asked them all, eager to get away from Leander.

As they walked over to the drinks table, Sebastian pulled Garreth back. Nodding toward Leander, he said, "Keep your pet on a leash tonight, Weasley. If he so much as looks at y/n again, I'm going to remove his eyeballs from their sockets. Got it?"

Garreth nodded in agreement. He also never wanted Leander to touch y/n again. The night he watched Leander pawing over y/n's body made him sick with guilt, and sparked a jealous feeling inside him that he hadn't felt before.

Y/n's POV

The party was going off without a hitch, much to everyone's surprise and delight.

Violet and I were playing beer pong against Austin and Garreth, all of us laughing hysterically at how bad Garreth was as he downed beer after beer.

"Weasley, dude, come on!" Austin begged.

Finally, Violet shot the winning ping pong ball into their last cup.

"YEAAAHHH!!!" we yelled in unison. "In your FACE Bucks!" I added, since he'd been so cocky when he suggested we play girls vs boys, thinking for sure his side would win.
