Sebastian's POV
Me and Ominus wandered down to the dungeons to our common room. I plopped down on the sofa in front of the fireplace. Ominus joined settling down.

"So," He began. "Anything you'd like to tell me? Or talk about about?"

I looked over at him quizzically. "What's there to talk about?" I asked, I knew he was trying to get at something.

"I don't know, maybe why you kept getting so huffy in the library?"

I rolled my eyes. "It's just hard to concentrate with Garreth acting a fool the whole time."

Ominus hummed. "Yes, especially if it involves (Y/N)." He said waiting to hear what my reaction would be.

What did he want me to say that? He knew Garreth going on like that with (Y/N) was annoying me for some reason. But he wasn't all too sure why. If I'm being honest with myself I don't even really know why it bothered me so much. I mean, it shouldn't, right? I get she's very easy to talk to and joke around with, but Garreth was pushing it a bit far. When I saw him kiss her hand, I got a feeling in me that I don't think I've ever had before. I've been angry before but it wasn't quite like that. But why? My head was spinning from all my thoughts swirling around. It was all too much. (Y/N) had been worried about something. Saying she had a bad feeling. I don't know if it was her rubbing off on me but ever since than I've had this strange feeling in the pit of my stomach. I had told her everything would be fine but now I wasn't so sure of that myself.

"I was just annoyed at how obnoxious that red head was being." Technically that wasn't a lie.
Ominus gave me a look as if to say 'you really expect me to believe that?'

"I don't know what you want me to say Ominus. Me and her are just friends so it's has nothing to do with her." Lies.

My blonde friend shook his head. He took his wand out from his robes and stood up from the sofa. "Very well. If you do not wish to discuss this further, than I will be going to bed." He said as he began to walk up to the stairs to the dorm room we shared.

"Ominus?" He stopped before stepping into the room.

"Yes?"

"Thank you. For everything my friend."

Ominus smiled and nodded and walked into the dorm and shut the door.

I just sat there in the empty common room staring at the blazing fire in the fireplace. The flames would dance in and out from each other but they never faltered. It had been a long break. Over the summer, I had stayed with Ominus and his family. Anne was staying in a recovery hospital for wizards. Over the summer, I had written Anne a lot of letters. She had responded to very few but I had still been glad to get the few replies. Ominus and I talked a lot over the break about things that had happened last term and we still weren't like we used to be but I feel like slowly but surely we'll get passed it. I know Anne is angry with me, she's told me so many times in her letters. I don't blame her. I know what I did was wrong, I just hope that someday, she will forgive me. While staying with the Gaunts this summer, Ominus and I agreed not to write to (Y/N) so as not to bring up any questions about who she was to the Gaunts. I had been devastated but I knew it was best. I had been so worried that (Y/N) had come to her senses at some point during the summer and was growing to hate me. I don't know where she stayed over the break but it killed me not being able to talk to her, tell her I was sorry, for everything. I am grateful that she wants to still be friends. I know things are not great right now but I do hold out hope that all of them; Ominus, Anne and (Y/N) will be able to see past my dark side.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I thought I could hear a voice calling my name. I stood up, looking around the common room. Empty. It was more than likely just my brain telling me it was bed time. I looked at the fire a last time before yawing and retreating to the dorms.

I undressed from my robes and got into my bed clothes and laid in bed. I couldn't hear noise except the faint breathing from Ominus. What was it (Y/N) had said she was worried about? She said she's had a bad feeling. I shook my head and closed my eyes I fell asleep.
