"There you are," Sebastian grinned once I arrived at the West Hogsmeade Floo.
He was leaning against the side wall of J. Pippin's Potions, with his arms folded in front of his body, one leg crossed in front of the other. The afternoon sun was casting a warm glow on his figure.
He was not wearing the usual Slytherin uniform, which was expected on a Saturday, but still caught me by surprise. He had a pair of black pants and a dark brown sweater on, with the sleeves rolled up, showing off his forearms.
"Sebastian, what a nice sight of you, without the usual cloak," I smirked payfully.
"Well, I already have a blind friend, so I didn't want to risk blinding you with chalk again. You know, in case you happen to cry today for any reason," He cackled at himself.
We started walking up the main street, which was a bit busier due to the weekend. "So, do you have any idea of what you want to get for Ominis?" I asked.
"I need to shop around. But I will likely find the perfect gift at Zonko's," He laughed mischievously. "I mean, not perfect, but amusing at least."
So that was our first stop. We entered Zonko's, and Sebastian took the time to browse the shelves, picking up items and examining them with keen interest. He chuckled at the sight of whoopee cushions and exploding sweets, then paused to inspect extendable ears and trick mirrors. He continued his search, fingers tracing over joke wands and prank potions.
"I feel like I reached a point where I've already pranked Ominis with literally everything there is." He laughed at himself excitedly. "Come on, let's see if we can find something at Honeydukes, but it will have to be funny."
Sebastian found no success there either, disappointed by the lack of prank-worthy treats at the candy store. We were now approaching the Hogsmeade Square.
"I will need to be a little more creative this year, I am afraid." He placed his hand on his chin, darting his eyes at the many shops around us. "I'll tell you what, let's meet at the Three Broomsticks in an hour, sounds good?"
I nodded in agreement and we parted ways.
I didn't have anything planned for this Hogsmeade visit, so I started by paying a quick visit to Gladrags. Unsurprisingly, there were no new outfits that caught my eye - I learned that my explorations yielded more interesting and unique pieces, and never really had to purchase new garments for a long time.
