🥀 Roses and Novels - Sebastian Sallow - Ominis Gaunt (Hogwarts Legacy Fanfic)

🥀 - Chapter 66 - 🌹

(Helena perspective)
I walked with Anne and Imelda to the great hall for lunch. It was the first day of our last year at Hogwarts. And this entire morning, I had this odd feeling in my stomach. I was nervous about something. But I couldn't figure out what I had to be nervous about.

I told Imelda everything she missed this summer when she was in India with Amit and Portugal with her parents. She couldn't believe a word I said to her. She was too stubborn to believe Ominis, and I broke up, that Evander died, that I kissed Sebastian, that I went on a date with Sebastian, that I'm in a relationship with Sebastian. 

And my mind stopped working when I saw him. I felt my cheeks turn warm, and I was blushing like a maniac. He looked at me with those eyes, and I melted away in the archway.

My feet quickly hurried in as I sat down next to Natty to avoid an awkward conversation with Ominis. We didn't speak after we broke up—no letters, no visits, not anything. And I wondered if he was mad or just processing our break-up.

Imelda and Anne sat across from me at the table as I felt a warm presence coming closer to me.

A large, muscular body pressed itself next to me. I looked to my left, and that beautiful freckled face smiled at me. "Hello Helena," he said. I smiled back as I blushed again. "Hello Sebastian."

 Garreth walked in and sat next to Anne and Amit on the other side.
The friend group was complete and ready for their senior year.

On my first day, I had to do something important, and that was speaking to Wesley. I grabbed his hand and pulled him with me to the grand staircase. My hand smashed him on the back of his head, and i pinched him on his arm. ''OUGH! Why did you do that!?'' He snapped.

I pulled on his tie. ''Because you're an ass Garreth Weasley! I heard what you did before summer to Anne, Adelaide?? Really!?'' He chuckled softly as he wiped his hand through his hair. ''You know that i like Anne, but Adelaide was just there, and i needed some attention.''

I smashed him on his chest now. ''Don't you ever hurt her again, or i will kick your but!'' His eyes lowered and his lips pursed. ''I would like that.. You know that, right?''

I smashed him on the head again. ''Oh merlin, Garreth, you dumbass!''

And i saw Sebastian coming near us, and i pulled him towards us with his hand. ''I will send Sallow after you!'' and i pointed to him. Sebastian looked at me with a confused expression as he shrugged his shoulders.

Garreth's eyes went from relaxed to anxious in a minute. ''Please don't, i promise Fig, I'll behave from now on. Don't send that scary pumpkin after me.'' Sebastian, his eyes went rigid. ''I'm not a pumpkin..''

And he pulled on Garreth's tie. ''What did you do, Weasley?''

Garreth held his hands in the air to keep him away from him. ''I didn't do anything! i promise. Everything will be alright.'' and he ran off. ''YOU BETTER WATCH OUT GARRETH!'' i yelled after him.

I laughed as i turned to face my boyfriend. ''Hi,'' i smiled.
''Hey there..'' He smiled back as he took me by my waist and pulled me into his kiss.

''Why are you sending me after Weasley?'' he grinned. ''Because he's an asshole.'' I scowled.

He wrapped his arm around my shoulder as we walked up the stairs towards our first class.

We were heading to the Potions classroom as we talked and laughed about Garreth's scared expression. His arm still leaned over my shoulder as he held me close to him.

When we reached the last step of the stairs and wanted to go inside, i bumped into someone. Sebastian, his arm quickly moved away as he watched the person in front of us.

It was Ominis.

Sebastian's hand slightly moved against mine, as he went into the classroom.

My eyes shot up to meet Ominis's gaze, which was watching me closely. This was where I was nervous for this morning, i felt it again. The stunt we pulled last summer.
