Heeey! So sorry for the wait, I hope you enjoy this chapter and I'm terribly sorry for any and all spelling/grammar errors this potentionally contains! Although I'm pretty good at catching that in my proof readings. ENJOY!
Emily pulled out her star charts and books as she started her astronomy work, it was her favorite class out of any subject taught at the school. She sometimes dreamt of researching the skies, discovering galaxies and stars, exploring the vast and amazing world in the sky-it was a dream she wanted to pursue, she only hoped that it would happen one day. Emily was so wrapped up in her thoughts of her future plans that she didn't hear the footsteps or smell the slight scent of sandalwood that drifted towards her.
"You're wrong," a voice as soft as velvet whispered in her ear. Emily swung out of her chair so fast that she didn't realize who she was pointing her wand at until they chuckled slightly. "easy there, Kitten. No one's here to hurt you," Emily's hand shook as she held her wand at chest level but it wavered as she realized who it was. "Now why don't we put that wand down, I didn't mean to scare you. I was just passing by and wanted to say hello."
Emily lowered her wand slightly and gave an apologetic smile before returning to her work, "you were saying that I was wrong?"
"You mixed up declination and right ascension, while both give coordinates to a star, only right ascension is told in time," Sebastian brown pointed to the lines as he leaned over Emily's shoulder to get a better view.
"Right, thank you!" Emily smiled as she tried not to breath in his aroma of sandalwood. How could this guy be bad? He seemed so genuinely nice.
Sebastian smirked slightly, "it's a Saturday night. Is this how all Ravenclaws spend their weekends?"
"No...there are a few parties in the room of requirement but I wanted to get work done, Austin said we were going to Hogsmeade for lunch with our parents tomorrow," Emily shrugged slightly as she placed her quill down. She noticed her hand was shaking slightly, the two had spoken before but this may be the longest conversation between them.
"So not all Ravenclaws work as hard as you then?" he crossed his arms and leaned against the table as he studied her.
"Don't really know, I'm not around them too often," Sebastian gave a curious look, "if I'm ever involved with something to do with any of them it's to talk about Austin. No one really seems to care who I am, its all about Aussie," Emily muttered with a sigh.
"That's a shame..." Sebastian gave a small smile, "personally. I would think that all the boys would want to get to know you," he gave her a wink which made Emily laugh.
"They're all afraid of Austin, think he'll beat 'em up if they even consider talking to me."
"Well he does have that big brother instinct," Sebastian looked at a book shelve and shifted. "you must really love him huh? All those things he does for you," he gave a scoff but to Emily it sounded like a laugh. "Do you think he ever gets tired of doing everything he does for you?"
"If he was tired he would've told me," Emily gave a confident nod. Emily knew Austin, she knew that if he didn't like something he'd tell her, that's how he always was-just like their father, he was blunt. If Austin was ever tired of caring for her, he would've said something.
"Don't you think you're taking advantage of the bloke? He wakes up at dawn just to take you to breakfast, takes you to dinner, and even takes you to your common room during his patrols. Don't you think it's a bit excessive?"
