Unbeaten, book 3

Adventure Twenty-Six

Sebastian's pov

"Thank you for getting them, Pops," I smiled as I stopped leaning on the parapet of the bridge in front of Hogwarts.

"Anything for you guys. You know that," she walked up with the twins in tow. Both of them with their books in hands.

"The one time I'm called out of class and you choose to take me out of Defense against the dark arts?" Giselle eyes me.

"I apologize my darling daughter. But our family is once again in danger," I patted her head, annoying her more.

"Our family doesn't get in trouble," Andre looked confused.

Poppy and I both laughed before realizing they had no idea. "Well... that's because it all happened when you were little and before you were born,"

"Uh huh," both twins said sarcastically.

Poppy hid her laugh in a cough, "shall I get Ominis, or Gus?"

I shrugged as I nudged both kids towards the floo station. "We'll be alright.... Maybe Ominis... but let's make sure Marc doesn't find out. I'm a little worried if he does. His ego's been a bit hurt since we helped Dumbledore."

"Ah, Ominis said he was mumbling about the head of the Auror department being one of the Ava's old students." Poppy smiled.

"To think... had I just helped in that damn muggle war I could be him...."

Poppy side eyed me, "....sure. Or your temper would have gotten the best of you."

I scoffed, "I'll have you know, father hood mellowed me out immensely."

"Da! You threw confringo at that damned betwitched sink Mum has because it splashed you on accident when you were half asleep." Giselle yelled from the floo station.

"Not now Giselle... please," i whispered. I looked at Poppy and her face was red from holding in her laugh. "I'll uh... get going? If you hear from Ava—" i start to say.

"You'll be the first to know," poppy smiles. "Sebastian we've been friends since Hogwarts. I know how this works,"

"Thank you, Poppy."

I opened the front door and the twins walked in before me. They both silently walked to their rooms only glancing at each other once before going into their separate.

"What are you too up to?" I sighed.

"We have to study, for the OWLS." Giselle said like it was obvious.

I squinted at them confused, "....but your fourth years?"

"Mum wants us to study early." Andre said without missing a beat.

"Hmmm..... I'm going to pretend to believe you because I'm not equipped to stop two wild children with ancient magic." I nodded and started to turn away.

"We are always good, dad." Giselle said Sweetly.

"I've heard that before."

Young Sebastian's POV

"You guys petrified me!?" I yelled at Poppy and Ominis. Both of them held their hands up defensively. "We need to help Ava!"

"She told me to make sure you get nowhere near that fight!" Poppy said defensively. She began to speak again but behind her, I saw two students who looked particularly familiar sneaking around behind the horde of students waiting for the okay to go back to school. I wouldn't have even noticed them except for the fact that they looked exactly like Ava and that they weren't looking at the school like everyone else.
