Thirds Person Perspective

*Eleazar Fig's Home


Elisa and Sebastian bid farewell to Ominis and Anne as they head back to Feldcroft. Sebastian, ever the attentive one, decides to stay behind and join Elisa for the evening, ensuring she won't be alone.




Elisa could sense Sebastian's unwavering observation fixated on her, not once leaving her sight. As she prepared dinner, she felt the weight of his eyes, his attention devoted entirely to her.




"I can sense you staring at me, Sallow," Elisa said with a grin. "Trust me, I'm still me. There's no need to observe me so closely to confirm."




Sebastian, caught off guard by her remark, can't help but chuckle. A sheepish smile spreads across his face as he realizes Elisa notices his intense goggle.




"Oh, caught me red-handed, have you?" he replies, a hint of embarrassment in his voice. "I wasn't trying to observe you that closely, honestly. Well, I guess I can't keep my eyes off you. Old habits die hard, I suppose."




Elisa looks back at him— smiles, and says, "I guess I can't keep my eyes off of you either— then again, I have not kept my eyes off you since that first day in Defense Against the Dark Arts."




Sebastian's cheeks turn a light shade of pink at your words, his heart fluttering slightly. He gazes at her with a mixture of surprise and affection, his hazel eyes locked onto her brown eyes.




"Really?" he replies, a hint of disbelief. "Since that first day of 5th year in Defense Against the Dark Arts class, huh?"




He smiles warmly, a hint of boyish charm etched on his features. "You've been watching me since then?"



"I have indeed," says Elisa with a grin.




Sebastian can't help but feel a mix of surprise and flattery at her admission. His smile widens a hint of pride in his expression. He chuckles lightly while leaning against the counter.




"Well, I have to say, I'm pretty flattered," he replies, his tone filled with arrogance and charm. "So you've been secretly observing me all this time, huh? I must have made quite the impression."




"Ah yes, I'm sure you used the line— 'time for a proper Hogwarts welcome' on everyone you met for the first time," Elisa snorts, trying to contain her laughter. "Is that how you got Ominis to be your best friend?"
