Different Times: Sebastian Sallow x Reader

18 - Party Time

Delilah's POV:

Flirting was not exactly my strong suit, but knowing I could make Sebastian blush was a win for me. We had kept our hands intertwined until I had volunteered to out maneuver the tree first. It had only been a few short minutes but I missed the feeling of his hand enveloping mine. Something about it felt so right.

"Well that was nerve wracking," Able laughed, "I guess on ward we go." He took the lead in the front with Imelda.

As everyone moved down the path I noticed Sebastian staying to the back. "Hurry up slow poke, you owe me a dance." I watched a smile spread across his face only to falter a second later, I stopped him a waited till the group was a bit a head of us. "What's on your mind Bash?"

"What if I... I don't know how to dance..." He looked at the ground and rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"Dancing isn't structured anymore, you just let yourself feel the music and move yourself anyway you feel." 

"So if I wanted to dance close to you?" He said looking into my eyes while he took a step toward me making my knees weak.

"Then you could." I said as I took in a shakey breath. He put his hand on my cheek as he came closer, and trailed his fingers lightly down my neck. He stopped for a moment before moving down my arm until he held my hand up and placed a feather light kiss on the back of my hand.

"Then let's go dance princess." I nodded like a fool not trusting my words as my heart tried to beat out of my chest.

We finally reached a dark basement and could hear the music already playing upstairs. The only people that weren't in our group were Angelina and Cedric, and as I had began to piece together they were putting the finishing touches on the party when we all made it to the entry way.

"Won't the loud music be suspicious to the people of Hogsmead?" One of the Ravenclaw girls asked.

"Nope," Cedric said as he walked over, "we've already got a silencing spell and glamour over the house."

"Enough smart questions, let's get to the important one." George said clapping his hands.

"Where are the drinks?" Fred finished the thought. Cedric pointed to the kitchen, and Daphne made her way over to Fred with a flirty smile on.

"Looks like she's found her prey for tonight." Imelda whispered to me laughing.

"And what about you? Finally going to talk to Adrian?" I asked with a smirk.

"Maybe after a few drinks, speaking of, sorry Sebastian." She said as she laced her arm through mine and pulled me with her to the kitchen.

He opened his mouth to retort but just let her drag me away as I mouthed an apology. I watched as Imelda poured four shots of fire whisky. "And who are those for?" I asked her looking at the line up.

"Don't be daft you get two I get two and then," she grabbed to glass bottles, "Butter beer."

"Imelda I don't-"

"You do tonight, it's time we brake this good girl exterior and you make out with Sebastian."

"Why would I- never mind, let's do it." I said as I grabbed the first shot, "cheers." I downed the first then the second in rapid succession.

"Damn, alright." Imelda quickly took her two and started pulling me to open living room.

"What are we doing now?"
