As James Calloway and Sebastian Sallow continued to support each other through their struggles, James couldn't help but notice a shift in their relationship. What had once been a rivalry born of competition and differences now blossomed into a deep friendship built on mutual trust and understanding.
James found himself drawn to Sebastian in ways he couldn't quite explain. He admired Sebastian's strength and resilience, his unwavering loyalty and unwavering support. And as they spent more time together, James began to realize that his feelings for Sebastian were evolving into something more.
At first, James brushed off the stirrings of his heart, telling himself that it was simply a natural consequence of their newfound friendship. But as the days turned into weeks, he couldn't deny the growing attraction he felt towards Sebastian—a warmth that spread through him whenever they were together, a longing that tugged at his heart whenever they were apart.
It was a confusing and exhilarating sensation, one that James struggled to come to terms with. He had never considered himself anything other than straight, and the idea of being attracted to another boy filled him with a sense of uncertainty and apprehension.
But as he grappled with his feelings, James couldn't deny the undeniable connection he felt towards Sebastian. He found himself seeking out Sebastian's company more and more, drawn to the comfort and familiarity that Sebastian provided.
And as they shared quiet moments together—studying in the library, walking the grounds of Hogwarts, sharing secrets and dreams—James began to realize that his feelings for Sebastian ran deeper than he had ever imagined.
But with the threat of the Death Eaters still looming over them, James knew that now was not the time to confront his feelings. There were battles yet to be fought, dangers yet to be faced, and he couldn't afford to let his emotions distract him from the task at hand.
So for now, James pushed his feelings aside, burying them deep within himself as he focused on protecting Hogwarts and all who called it home. But deep down, he knew that the stirrings of his heart would not be silenced so easily, and that someday, he would have to confront the truth of his feelings for Sebastian, no matter where they might lead.
