Whispers of my heart - Sebastian Sallow x OC

One Day

As the festive celebration came to an end, Ophelia bid her farewells to everyone, hugging Anne, Ominis, Susanne, and Adam goodbye. She linked arms with Sebastian, and they strolled together through the magical ambiance of the evening.

Sebastian: "What a beautiful night, wouldn't you say?"

Ophelia, beaming: "Yes, it's as if the stars are shining brighter today."

Sebastian, pulling her a bit closer: "Surely just for you."

Ophelia, playfully: "The stars don't even know me."

Sebastian, smiling about her dumb response: "I pity them."

Ophelia laughed softly, grabbing his arm and holding onto it for the rest of the walk.They arrived at the castle, the laughter of the night still echoing in their hearts.

Ophelia, reluctantly: "I suppose we should head to our common room."

Sebastian, hesitating: "Or we could find a quiet spot to savor the night a little longer."

Ophelia, smiling mischievously: "Lead the way, love."

Ophelia and Sebastian strolled hand in hand, the castle's corridors bathed in the soft glow of torchlight. Laughter and echoes of the celebration lingered, and their steps echoed through the empty hallways.

Ophelia leaned into Sebastian, sharing a tender moment. "Tonight was magical, Sebastian. I never imagined my birthday turning out like this."

Sebastian grinned, the warmth of her hand in his filling him with joy. "Well, get used to it, my love. I plan on making every day with you as magical as tonight."

They decided to wander a bit longer, not ready to let the night end. The winding hallways led them to the Room of Requirement, its door seemingly beckoning them.

Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "Shall we see what the room has in store for us tonight?"

Ophelia nodded, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Why not? I'm up for more surprises."

They stepped inside, and to their amazement, a new door appeared. Intrigued, they exchanged excited glances before opening it.

Beyond the door unfolded a scene that left them breathless – a celestial garden bathed in the soft glow of enchanted stars, flowers that bloomed in radiant hues, and a moonlit pathway leading to a small gazebo.

Sebastian chuckled. "Well, this certainly surpasses my expectations. Hogwarts never ceases to amaze."

Ophelia's eyes gleamed with wonder. "It's like a dream. Do you think the room knows what our hearts desire?"

Sebastian pulled her into an embrace. "Maybe it does, my enchanting Ophelia. Shall we explore this magical garden together?" He made a funny face and put out his hand for her to take.

Hand in hand, they wandered through the celestial garden, laughter and sweet exchanges flowing freely between them. As they reached the gazebo, a soft breeze carried their laughter into the starlit night.

Sebastian gazed into Ophelia's eyes. "This is perfect, isn't it?"

Ophelia smiled, her heart fluttering. "It is, Sebastian. And I wouldn't want to share it with anyone but you."

They shared a tender kiss under the starry canopy, their connection deepening in the enchanting ambiance of the Room of Requirement. The night unfolded with whispered promises and the unspoken magic of their shared journey.

As they strolled further down the moonlit path, a magical table laden with a feast appeared before them, the room anticipating their hunger.

Sebastian pulled out a chair for Ophelia with a grin. "Looks like the room knows us well, doesn't it?"

Ophelia chuckled, taking her seat. "It's like having a personal wizard chef. Hogwarts truly spoils us."

They delved into the sumptuous spread, the flavors dancing on their tongues.
Sebastian, trying to be nonchalant, initiated the conversation. "So, tell me more about your family. I already know your parents and your two siblings, is there more?"

Ophelia took a sip of pumpkin juice, a playful glint in her eyes. "Ah, prying into the secrets of the Meadows family, are we?"

Ophelia, with a nostalgic smile, began to share tales of her aunt and uncle from her father's side. "My aunt Bonnie and uncle Alastair live in Edinburgh with their four children. They're quite the lively bunch."

Sebastian, intrigued, leaned in. "Tell me more about them."

"Well, there's Callum, the eldest. He's the responsible one, always looking out for his younger siblings. Then comes Finlay, the adventurous spirit. Archie is the mischievous one, always up to some magical pranks. And lastly, Blair, the youngest and only girl. She's got a charming mix of sweetness and sass," Ophelia explained with affection in her voice.

Sebastian chuckled. "Sounds like a diverse group. Any particular magical talents among them?"

Ophelia nodded. "Each has their own magical strengths. Callum is brilliant with charms, Finlay has a knack for magical creatures, Archie is a bit of a prankster but surprisingly good at transfiguration, and Blair is quite talented in herbology."

Sebastian grinned. "A family with a range of magical skills. Must be fascinating to see them in action."

Ophelia sighed contentedly. "Indeed, it's always lively when the whole extended family gathers. Maybe one day you'll get to meet them, too. Oh wait, how could I forget. You will meet them on christmas."
