Kindred Spirit

The minute you ask him which books have the "non-standard spells" you make everything in him start jumping with happiness. He hasn't felt "wanted for who he is" it seems, for a long time. You chose to pay attention to him & show that you want to know more than what the school will teach you, just as he does. You've excited the proud young Scotsman & he shows it to you. He is the most loved boy in his house & very well-liked among most of the students, even praised by the professors for being a bright child, despite his detention record.

The desire to teach lies within him because of his parents, as they were professors themselves, but the minute you show interest in the darker spells, it fills him with more happiness than he'd ever want to admit in the open. Of all the students in the school, he is the most understanding of them all, as he loves learning about the ancient magic just as much as the dark arts. Arriving safely after escaping a dragon has certainly got him wondering what made you so special, but he doesn't doubt your abilities in magic, no matter how strange they are to you.

If anything, he finds you a wonder worthy protecting & deserving of everything that the school won't teach you. Such rare magic would be sought after & killed for, which something Sebastian knows of all too well what with his own best friend being a parselmouth. Ominis would be hunted down & killed just because of what he is & Sebastian doesn't wish such a fate on those who are different for any given reason. You, on the other hand, have a magic even rarer than Ominis' serpentine power. Confrontation with foes seeking your power is certain & as Sebastian learns of you strange power, it doesn't take him long to get himself ready to teach you the three unforgivable curses. It's not a matter of "if" it's a matter of "when" & Sebastian, being the best duelist of the school, cares so much about you that he takes upon himself to make sure you have the unforgivable curses to use if you absolutely need them.

Knowledge is power & Sebastian has it in spades, but he also has a very loving heart. He doesn't want to take over the world, he doesn't want his best friend killed & he certainly doesn't want his sister, nor you to die. Life has many battles & he's been through many a goblin attack in his own hamlet, but your opponents will be far stronger & he's willing to give you the darker magic to take them out as you see fit. The dark arts & ancient magic... two of the most misunderstood & seemingly villainous types of power... are given a chance to be understood & used for good in Sebastian's eyes.

In his eyes, if your willing to learn the dark arts, then he's willing to learn what your ancient magic is. He'd rather see his sister cured by it than use the dark arts, but since so little is known about the ancient magic, he feels safer in going for the dark arts, which is understandable since there's more on the curses anyway. He gives you the 3 most powerful spells & all he asks for in return? His sister to be healed... knowing the ancient magic, if left untainted, isn't dark magic at all & something she'd be wiling to have for a cure.

Spare him punishment & tell him who really hurt his beloved sister? You will have won his heart, but... if Anne is cured... then you will have earned him as a boyfriend... possibly Ominis as well depending on how things unfold in the future. 1 boyfriend or 2? With Sebastian, he won't care, because that choice is up to you. ♥
