After finishing their Defense Against the Dark Arts assignment, Sebastian and Ophelia left the library, the soft glow of the torches illuminated the castle corridors. A sense of anticipation lingered between them, and as they approached the entrance to the Slytherin common room, Sebastian took a moment to walk her to her dorm.

"Well, here we are."

Ophelia smiled, appreciating the gesture, the castle's ambiance adding an extra layer of magic to the moment.

"Thank you for walking me to my dorm, Sebastian."

They stood before the entrance, the common room's murmurs fading in the background.

"Please don't make me wait too long, darling."

He paused for a moment, a subtle warmth in his gaze, before gently nodding and turning to leave.

"I'll see you in a bit."

What's going through his mind? There's an unspoken connection. I can't wait to see what he has planned for our date.

As Sebastian left her at her dorm door, Ophelia watched him go, the castle walls echoing with the promise of an evening that held the potential for something extraordinary.

Ophelia entered her dorm, where Anne and Violet were engaged in conversation on Anne's bed. They immediately noticed Ophelia's overly happy and excited demeanor.

"What's got you in such high spirits, Ophelia?", Anne asked her.

"It has to be about Sebastian. Spill the details, Ophelia.", Violet answered Anne's question to Ophelia herself.

Should I tell them about the date? They'll probably get it out of me sooner or later.

As she shared the news, Anne and Violet couldn't help but tease her.

"Sebastian, huh? Looks like he's really taken a liking to you.", Violet said.

"I knew it! You two are adorable together. I bet he'll ask you to court him in a bit, I know my brother. He really loves you a lot, Ophelia. He never shuts up about you, it's almost annoying. He'd be a fucking eejit, if he wouldn't try to win your heart."

After the playful banter, Ophelia was a bit overwhelmed with feeling the weight of their curiosity on her shoulders.

After Ophelia shared the news of her upcoming date, the three friends decided to prepare her for the evening. They worked on her hair, outfit, and accessories, creating a stunning look. Once they finished, they made Ophelia leave the dorm to maintain an air of mystery.

When Ophelia stepped out into the corridor, she was met by Sebastian. At first, she worried if he had overheard the conversation, but then they found themselves admiring each other. Sebastian looked dashing in black pants, a dress shirt, vest, a coat and a Slytherin scarf hanging on his arm.

"You look incredible, Ophelia."

Ophelia, in turn, was a vision of elegance. She wore a white flowy dress with a corset, her hair intricately styled with flowers woven into small braids. Her jewelry adorned her fingers and collarbone, featuring green accents, and a dark green coat hung from her arm.

"Thank you, Seb. You look quite dashing yourself."

As the realization of the moment dawned on them, Ophelia began to feel a bit awkward. However, Sebastian, ever the flirt, teased her playfully.

"I must say, Anne and Violet did an excellent job. But let me add the finishing touch."

He handed her a single purple iris flower, enchanted to live forever. Ophelia thanked him sincerely and gave him a kiss on the cheek after he put it in her hair.

"This is beautiful, Sebastian."

It took all of Sebastian's willpower not to kiss her right then and there. He offered his arm to her.

"No, you are beautiful, Ophelia."

He looked down at her, his face holding a warm lopsided grin.

"Shall we? I promised you a memorable and proper Sallow date. Did you know, the Sallow dates are the best existing anywhere in the universe?"

Ophelia giggled and asks him if it's some kind of magical super power he also inherited. He just chuckles and starts leaving with her.

They left the Slytherin common room, arm in arm, ready to embark on a magical evening together, walking to Hogsmeade during the colorful sundown.
