Different Times: Sebastian Sallow x Reader

16 - the Keeper

Delilah's POV:

It took everything in me not to stay in the Undercroft and kiss him again. He said he likes me like actually and not just as a friend. All this time but I couldn't kiss him because if I did I'd skip divinations and I could not do that. Sebastian just kept a dopey smile on his face as I drug him to Divinations.

"Up you go." I said as I motioned to the ladder.

"Why am I going first?"

"So I know you won't take off and skip the second I'm up the ladder. You already said you wanted to skip multiple times."

He sighed, "fair point." He climbed the ladder and I followed with my head down.

"Oh! Hello!" Professor Trelawney said as we entered the room. "Find your seats we were about to talk about why Divinations."

We nodded and found a table in the back with Imelda. "Where were you?!" She whisper yelled at me, "I can't be in this class by myself."

"Sorry, someone," I glared at Sebastian, "decided on the scenic route." I jumped as I felt his hand find its what onto my leg.

"Yes, my fault I thought I knew where I was going, but I was wrong." He said apologetically while moving his hand higher up my thigh. I cleared my throat trying to find my breath.

"Are you okay? You're turning bright red." Imelda asked with an arched eye brow.

"Yup. Great." I said as I put my hand over Sebastian's before he goes any higher. I hear him let out a light chuckle while lacing his fingers through mine. Imelda gave us a skeptical look but shook it off.

"Oh Imelda, I wanted to ask. Do you all still need a keeper?" Sebastian asked.

"We do...why? Do you think you're good enough to be on my team?" She asked challenging.

"I'd love to come to a practice and find out." He said with a smirk.

"Right after lunch be on the quidditch pitch. It'll be your only chance." She said as she looked him over.

"Yes ma'am." He leaned over to me, "she's too much like her grandmother." I let out a snort causing Imelda to glare at us.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing important I promise. What are we learning about?" I asked quickly changing the topic.

"Why divinations." Imelda said with an eye roll.

"What does that even mean?" She gave me a shrug as we tried to understand what we were supposedly learning.

An hour and some leafy tea later and we were dismissed from classes for the day. As we headed to the Great Hall for lunch I got weird looks from Terence Higgs and Adrian Pucey. I never really talked to them all I knew was they were Able's dorm mates.

"Imelda do you know why your chaser bros are looking at us?"

"They're looking at you, they know not to look at me or I'll step on them." She said as she shot the two a glare that made them look away. "But no I have no clue why they would."

I shrugged it off as we found seats at the Slytherin table, as we sat down Sebastian threw his arm over my shoulder.

"Whatcha doing?" I asked looking up at him.

"Sitting with you." He said flashing me a cheeky grin. I rolled my eyes and just let it be while I talked to Able about how his Astronomy class went.

"Delilah! Hey!"

"Hey Angelina, what's up?"

"I was wondering if you and the other Slytherin's would be attending the seventh year party tonight?" She asked glancing at Amit.
