Whispers of my heart - Sebastian Sallow x OC

Friendly banter

Ominis and Anne open the door to the compartment, their faces a mix of relief and amusement. Ophelia and Sebastian, now seated across from them, exchanged an awkward glance, their moment interrupted.

Anne, with a grin that held mischief, hugged Ophelia tightly. "Oh, how I've missed you, Ophelia! You look absolutely stunning, love. Has Sebastian already told you?" she teased, casting a playful glance between the two.

Sebastian and Ophelia, caught off guard, blushed in unison. Trying to steer the conversation away, Ophelia quickly asked Ominis about his summer adventures. "Ominis, how was your holiday? Did you have any magical adventures?"

Ominis, grinning at the attempt to change the subject, began sharing tales of his summer escapades, like losing to Anne in Gobstone or playing wizard chess with Sebastian. However, Anne was relentless. Leaning in with a smirk, she addressed both Sebastian and Ophelia, "Come on, spill it. What happened during the summer, Sebastian? You can't keep secrets from your dear sister."

Sebastian, attempting to downplay the situation, chuckled nervously. "Oh, it's nothing, just the usual summer stuff, you should know, you were there the whole time."

Anne, raising an eyebrow, wasn't convinced. "Hmm, I beg to differ. Your owl had a really hard time this summer, flying letters back and forth so often. Also, Ominis and I lost you after we ran through the barrier, and now we know why. You wanted to shake us off, didn't you?" She giggled, and Ominis joined in.

Sebastian tried to dismiss it, "It wasn't like that—"

Anne interrupted him with a knowing smile. "Oh, please. We're not oblivious, Seb. You just wanted a few minutes alone with Ophelia, didn't you?"

Sebastian, realizing there was no escape, sighed, "Alright, maybe a little."

Ominis chuckled, "You couldn't get out of this one, mate. Secrets are hard to keep in a world with such curious friends."

The compartment filled with laughter as Anne and Ominis playfully teased Sebastian and Ophelia, turning an unexpected reunion into a delightful spectacle of friendship. Ophelia began recounting a hilarious family adventure from the summer.

As the laughter subsided, Anne chimed in with her own tale of mischief in the countryside.

"Sebastian, Ominis, and I decided to explore the fields near our aunt's house. We stumbled upon a patch of wildflowers, it was beautiful. Before we knew it, we were waist-deep in a meadow. But here's the kicker—Ominis conjured these tiny pixies, and they started doing synchronized dances around us! It was like having our private, magical flower ballet. We couldn't stop laughing, especially when the pixies made Sebastian twirl!"

As the stories unfolded, Anne couldn't resist teasing Sebastian about his summer thoughts.

"And speaking of my brother, here couldn't stop talking about someone throughout the whole summer. Someone with long, white hair and a penchant for charming stories. Care to share, Sebastian?"

Sebastian, feigning innocence, grinned looking down at Ophelia, "Oh, just the usual summer musings." Ophelia smiling at him knowingly and unconvinced.
