Love Amidst Magic (Y/N x Sebastian Sallow)

Chapter Eight

Y/N's Perspective

I woke up around 8am. I didn't get a very long sleep, but it was the most restful sleep of my life. I was awoken by my roommates, who were terrified of me. When I opened my eyes, all I saw was them whispering while running out into the common room.

I sat up, rubbed my eyes and took a deep breath. First day of Sixth Year. How hard could it be? I just have to tell the same story over and over again until the entire school hears it. I'm dreading it. I'm dreading Potions class.

I heard a knock at my door.

"Y/N? Are you awake yet?" Ominis said through the door.

"Yes Ominis, but I am still in my pajamas. I'll be out in ten minutes." I yelled back.

I got out of bed reluctantly. I walked over to my vanity, and started to brush my hair. I added a little bit of makeup to hide the bags under my eyes, and to make my cheeks look a little pinker and less dull.

I put on the outfit that Sirona bought for me, as no one has seen me in it yet. Ominis doesn't count, as he is blind. I smiled to myself about the thought.

I tied the laces on my shoes, and grabbed my bag that contains nothing other than my books from last year. My plan is to go to Hogsmeade today and get this year's books, and a new wand, as mine was snapped in half in front of my eyes before I entered Azkaban. Maybe I can get Ominis to accompany me, and maybe we can get some butterbeer from Sirona like she promised.

I walked out of my dormitory, ready to face the common room. As I walked out, a few people were gathered around, chatting before classes. I made my way through the groups, once again hearing whispers.

"Is that really Y/N?" Some said.

"She's out of Azkaban? Isn't she a murderer?" Another said.

I ignored their comments and found Ominis near the windows. I greeted him with a hug.

"Finally you're out of bed." He told me.

"I was in Azkaban, Ominis. It takes a little while to recover from that. I know you can't see me, but I tried to look a little more presentable than I have in months." I joked with him.

"What class do you have first?" He asked me.

"Potions, actually. I'm excited to see Professor Sharp. I wonder if he knows I'm back yet." I told him.

"You're in luck, I have Potions class first as well." He told me.

He grabbed his things and we started walking out of the common room. We were stopped before we reached the stairs.

"Wait, you're back?" Imelda Reyes questioned me.

"Yes, in fact, she is." Ominis told her.

"She can speak for herself, Ominis." Imelda scoffed.

"I am. The answer didn't change, Imelda." I told her.

"Well. Glad to hear it. Maybe you can take over for one of our Quidditch team's chasers. Fell off his broom and hit his head pretty hard. He's now been with Nurse Blainey for a week." She said.
