With an unyielding hold, Sebastian swiftly wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me close as his lips crashed into mine. I nearly lost my balance from the force of his embrace, his urgency unmistakable. I could feel the curious eyes of passersby, no doubt lingering on us, as we were utterly lost in each other.

But Sebastian's intensity only grew. Keeping his hold around my waist, he threaded his other hand through my hair, gripping tightly. I responded by grazing his lower lip with a teasing bite, drawing back just slightly. He groaned in heavenly pain. I quickly parted and whispered against his lips, "Room of Requirement. Now."

We jogged hand-in-hand to the nearest Floo checkpoint. "Off on another adventure, are—"

"Shut it, Ignatia," we both snapped in unison. We turned and gazed at each other lovingly before he caressed my cheek with his free hand. "She's insufferable, isn't she?"

"The absolute worst," I smiled up at him, my voice laced with affection.

With a renewed grip on his hand, I pulled him close, and in a swift, whirling moment, we transported ourselves straight to the Room of Requirement. Sensing my unspoken desires, the room had altered the time of day, cloaking us in the embrace of night and setting the stage for a deeply sensual experience.

After our vision adjusted to the dark space, Sebastian didn't hesitate to pull me in again, but not before lifting me by my ass. I hugged my legs around his waist as he balanced me against him. I could feel his tension as he fought the urge to grope my ass. It was adorable to see him so flustered.

He began attacking my chest and neck with rapid kisses and licks. I threw my head back and moaned to the ceiling of the Room. His grip beneath me tightened at my sounds.

"Beg for it, MC... beg me for it."

Little did he know, I was already planning to.

"P-please... Sebastian...." My breathing fell heavy. "I need you."

Without hesitation, he led us down the hallway staircase towards the bedroom. He already knew where to go. I had previously brought him here to the Room before — last year, in fact — to help him study for Potions.

"I can't believe this place, MC! You've had this all to yourself for a whole year?" Sebastian's eyes were wide with awe as he took in the grandeur, lingering on the vivariums scattered around.

"Well, just me and Deek. He's the best companion I could ask for — keeps everything neat and organized for me."

At that, Sebastian shot me a sharp side-eye, his voice dropping to a disappointed murmur. "Oh. I didn't realize you already had someone up here with you."

"I do! He's the best — so sweet, so kind, so—"

"Sweet? Kind? How do we know he's not just trying to get you to sleep with him?" Sebastian's jealousy flared, cutting me off. "What house is he? Sounds like a bumbling Hufflepuff. Want me to handle him for you?"

I laughed, reaching out to calm his fist, which was now poised as if ready to swing. "No, Sebastian, that really won't be nec—"

"I'm serious, MC! Just say the word, and I'll send him running. I don't want anyone trying to take advantage of you."

"He's my house elf, Sebastian!" I laughed, touched by his fierce protectiveness. My cheeks flushed from his unexpected concern, it was nice hearing him want to take care of me.
