Isn't it strange, how one's heart aches when seeing an old friend. The familiarity yet strangeness of knowing them, but being so far apart you don't know what they have done since the last time you spoke.

The ache that sits in your chest when hearing their voice or their laugh and knowing you will miss them the moment it stops.

A tragic story, pain that will linger within you for a long time. The loss of someone you love, to never see them again, or having to wait with the uncertainty of when or if you will meet again.

And then if you will get along, how things were left when you parted ways, if you can make up for lost time.

Just like that they can slip from you, and sometimes takes longer than you wish for them to return.

Still, losing one does not mean losing all. And Salem has more than enough people around to help them through tough times.

After the first Quidditch match at least there should be some time to cool down and have some fun, don't you think.

I for one believe Salem's story is far from over, and our beloved Sebastian will surely appear at least one more time, or maybe he will get his own story to tell.

Either way. The weather is growing colder, not too much, but a jacket is suggested for mornings an evenings, the strange time between Summer and Autumn when you don't know what to wear because you will freeze the first time you step outside, but during the day you want to tear your clothes off and jump into the lake to cool off as you feel on fire within.

Whatever you like, let's see what the sixth school year will have in store for our beloved Slytherin students.
