The Keeper's Snake // Sebastian Sallow

Unforgivable

"Sebastian, slow down. You are hurting me."

Sebastian stopped in his tracks, let go of Fiona's hand, and turned to face her.

"I can't slow down! Solomon has been threatening to move Anne away! Do you not get it? We have to stop him!" Sebastian was red in the face.

Fiona recognized the panic in his voice. His yelling didn't bother her so much. She was more worried about Sebastian acting erratically.

"Sebastian, you need to take a deep breath. In your panic, you walked right past a Floo point. Let's go back to it and travel to Feldcroft. He can't have moved Anne so quickly." Fiona spoke calmly, hoping it would help soothe Sebastian.

He nodded in response, and the pair quickly travelled to Feldcroft. The whole village was covered with snow. They saw smoke coming the chimney of the Sallow cottage, letting them know Solomon was likely still there, with Anne.

Sebastian marched straight to the house, leaving Fiona behind, and kicked open the door. Solomon was sat at the kitchen table, smirking.

"Where is my twin!" Sebastian yelled.

"She's asleep, boy. Do not yell in my house." Solomon growled.

"You cannot take her away! She is coming back to Hogwarts!"

"We'll see about that."

Just then, Fiona entered the cottage.

"Let her go Solomon." Fiona borderline threatened.

Solomon's smirk turned into a sly grin as he gazed upon Fiona.

"It's about time you got here."

Suddenly Solomon got up and lounged towards Fiona. She backed away and reached for Sebastian. Solomon, however, was able to grab onto her ankle. He immediately apparated her away from the cottage.

Unfortunately for Solomon, Fiona had managed to grab onto Sebastian, bringing him along with them. The three of them landed in a very dark room. It was freezing. Fiona cast lumos to look around.

"Expelliarmus!"

Fiona and Sebastian's wands flew out of their hands, and they were hit on the back of the head.

Fiona woke up in a dimly lit room. She was in a cell. Across from her, Sebastian was coming to.

"Sebastian are you ok?" Fiona whispered to him.

"Just a little head ache. How are you?" Sebastian sounded worried.

"I'm grand. Do you know where we are?"

"Not a clue. I cannot imagine what reason Solomon has for bringing us here."

Fiona had a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach.

"He wanted to only bring me here." Fiona thought aloud, as she realized what was going on.

"Sebastian, the hooded man from the dragon fight. That wasn't Solomon was it?"

She began to spiral. She pat her body down to find her wand wasn't there. Their current situation also began to dawn on Sebastian. He checked his pockets to find the photograph and locket were still there.

"I swear to you I will kill Solomon if I ever see him again."

Just then, the door to the room where their cells were opened. A wizard with a metal face covering walked in. He approached Fiona's cell.

"Time to talk to the boss." He grunted.

"You mean Rookwood?" Fiona spat.

"Seems like you are a smart one after all." He replied.
