Light in the Dark // Sebastian Sallow

Felix

January

The Holidays passed quickly making Athena extremely anxious because that meant March was right around the corner. Meaning she would have to give birth to two babies.

She tried not to focus on that but focus on her studies. She spend most of her time with Poppy, Garreth, Ominis, and Anne. They spend a-lot of time in the room of requirement brewing and practicing Defensive spells. Transfiguration was very challenging this year but Athena caught on to it very quickly making her in charge of teaching the other how to do it. Poppy and Garreth were slowly but surely starting to get the Beasts out of the vivariums which made me incredibly sad, but happy they were going to a great home.

Sebastian and Imelda were practicing like crazy for quidditch, especially since there next match with Gryffindor was this right around the corner at the end of January.

When Sebastian wasn't practicing or studying, he was working with Pippin. Pippin also hired Ominis to help as well. Ominis was quite please because he wants to open his own potions shop some day.

Anne spends a lot of time with me as of late, we try and go to Hogsmeade to get out of the castle, we get our sweets from honey dukes and head to the three broom sticks for a snack. I've grown so close with Anne, she is my best friend.

Who would of thought?

Anne my best friend?

I secretly thought she would of hated me for letting her brother get so deep into the dark arts. I did tell her from the very beginning that I couldn't control him, nor would I want to. I love who he is, dark arts and all.

February

Slytherin beat Gryffindor at the end of January. That means that if Slytherin beats Ravenclaw they get to go to the house cup. So naturally Imelda has then train more hard now then ever.

Luckily the house cup isn't until April. So if they do wind up making it, Sebastian won't miss it.

I'm feeling more and more heavy making me not want to do anything. However Anne and Poppy make me walk around the castle whenever they can. I really appreciate them so incredibly much.

Ominis has become Pippins leading man, making Pippin hire him as an apprentice once he graduates Hogwarts. So Ominis has been spending as much time as possible over in Hogsmeade trying  to learn as much as possible. It has also been helping him pass with flying colors in potions. Sharp is extremely proud of him, and has been giving him extra tips to become a potionteer.

Valentines days isn't very exciting this year because everyone has been so busy. Sebastian of course left me flowers and a beautiful poem promising a beautiful date when things slow down. Of course I'm not mad at all. It give me extra time to study so that we can take our N.E.W.Ts at the end of the month.

March

Slytherin had won against Ravenclaw meaning they had made it to the house cup! Now they had to see if they would be facing Gryffindor or Hufflepuff in the house cup.

Sebastian and Ominis were working at Pippins the day I started not to feel well.

"Are you alright Athena? Perhaps you should head to the infirmary...." Anne says turning pale.

"What, no I'm fine." I lie to her.

"Come, it doesn't hurt to go see her." Anne says smiling at me with her hand outstretched.

"Fine, but we're taking the long way." I say in a growl.

"Fine." Anne says rolling her eyes. "Your incredibly stubborn you know."

"It's why I'm in Slytherin. We're all stubborn."  I say with cringe feeling a pain in my side.

Anne laughs "to true. So can we take the short way yet, or shall we keep going." Anne says crossing her arms and tapping her foot.

"You anxious. It's making me Anxious. Stop it." I say as the pain slowly goes away.

"No, right of course." She whispers so only I can hear in the hallway "your going into labor and don't want to be seen, or for me to send a letter to my brother. But let's not be anxious." She throws her hands in the air in frustration.

"I'm not going into Labor Anne. I'm fine." I say instantly cringing again from the pain.

"Your Infuriating." She says with a huff. "We're going now."

Anne grabs my arm takes me to the floo powder instantly taking us to the hospital wing. Making me empty my contents all over the floor.

"I'll grab Nurse Blainey." Anne says Anxiously running to nurse Blainey.

All of a sudden I'm being taking to St. Mungo's.

Men aren't allowed to be with the women so Anne did write to Sebastian but he couldn't be there.

I was in so much pain I really thought I was going to Die, or at least pass out.

Until I heard a cry. It wasn't my cry.

"It's a boy!"

Another wave of pain rolls through me and a few pushes...

"It's a girl! twins."

The pain was too much, I must of passed out after the announcement.

I woke up to Sebastian Holding a baby, but also rubbing my head.

As soon as I wake up Sebastian kisses me "you are so brave." He whispers in my ear. Making me smile. He hands me the beautiful baby he is Holding. "Kora." He whispers.

I look at the beautiful girl, she looks just like a sallow with beautiful brown hair her facial features looking just like her fathers. With So many freckles dancing around her face. When she opens her eyes, I see she has beautiful hazel eyes.

"I thought of a name for him..." Sebastian says holding the other baby in his arms.

I look up at him "go on." I say gently.

"Felix."

"Felix Sallow..." I say happily. "I love it."

"You do?" Sebastian says walking over.

"I do, may I hold him?" I say curiously.

"Absolutely" we switch babies.

He has beautiful blonde hair like mine, but even more light. He has less freaked than his sister, he still looks like his father though. Those eyes... those are my eyes. I smile at him.

Just like my dream.

They are perfect.

Sebastian puts his head against mine
"We make beautiful children, we do." He says with a chuckle.

I laugh too "We do don't we...."

"Im ready to have more whenever you are."

"Shut it Sallow." I say playfully pushing him away. "I think two is enough."

"Fair enough." He says with a smile.

"I love you." I say to him a so look towards Felix.

"I love you darling. You are most amazing witch."
