12 - His Note

I have it where Cedric didn't die because of the Gaunt family aurors. :)
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

I looked at Imelda and let out a small squeal. I could feel the electricity radiating through my body like buzz of excitement. I flopped down on my bed with the biggest smile across my face.

Imelda sat beside me, "You have got to spill if he's got you this happy."

"Are we talking about the hot new Slytherin?" Daphne Greengrass, our other dorm mate, asked.

I sat up and smile at Imelda trying to ignore the remark Daphne made, I mean he was hot but still, "I didn't think I would ever see him again. We met this summer at the very beginning. He doesn't even have to try and I'll smile."

"Aww are you in love?" Daphne asked teasingly, my head snapped toward her.

"It was only three days Daph." I said with a sigh, "he did write me a good bye note, I just never read it." I said facing Imelda who was practically shaking me to read it. I pulled it out and open it for the first time the smell of old books and vanilla filling my nose.

Dear Delilah,
It's been three days but it feels like it's been a lifetime. You light up every room you walk into, you've invaded my every thought and dream. You have become a good friend-

Friend! Friend!? I stopped on this word as I felt a pit grow in my stomach.

"Hey I was still reading that." Imelda said from over my shoulder, "it was just getting good." I laughed at her and opened the note again and continued to read.

You have become a good friend, always bringing a smile to my face. You read to me when I was sick, and annoyed me into taking my medicine. You've made me care for you more than I've ever cared for anyone. I will find my way back, I promise.

Yours Truly,
Sebastian.

"Damn, boy has got it bad." Is all you hear from Imelda as she started telling Daphne what it said. My heart was too busy pounding in my ears to hear them.

"With that note, I bid you a good night." I said smiling like a fool as I got into pajamas and go to bed. I couldn't sleep however my mind was racing over everything I just read, over analyzing every word. He had never said anything about being anything more than friends in the note.

Sebastian's POV:

As I walked back to my dorm I could help the smile that grew on my face, seeing her again just made everything feel right. As I walked through the door I knew Able would be one of my dorm mates, but I wasn't expecting a quaffel being thrown in every direction.

"Oi Adrian, Terence knock it off for a second?" Able asked as he spotted me walk in. "Sebastian these are Adrian Pucey and Terence Higgs two of our chasers and our dorm mates."

"Sorry about that mate, with Imelda as our captain this year we can't afford to slack off." Terence said as he stuck his hand out, I politely shook it.

"No worries I get it," if she is a fraction the captain as her grandmother I understood completely, "Do you have any open positions on the team this year?" I asked I always was a pretty fair player.

"We don't have a Keeper yet this year, but Imelda is a tough nut to crack." Adrian said with an enthusiastic smile on his face, "but I'd love to have another quidditch playing dorm mate, no offense Thakkar."
