The Facade of Us | Sebastian Sallow x Reader

"We can't keep tipping the scale of friendship, Sebastian." I say, my voice trembling as I meet his gaze.

His expression falters, vulnerability flickering across his face.

"Then tell me, Y/N-what do we call this?"

────⋆⋅☆⋅⋆──

Returning to Hogwarts for your seventh year, you're still celebrated for your heroic deeds during fifth year. But fame comes with its challenges, and nothing complicates life more than unspoken emotions.

Over the summer, you, Ominis, and Sebastian made a solemn pact: no matter what, nothing would break your trio apart. One condition, however, left you uneasy-Ominis forbade any romance between you and Sebastian, convinced it would only bring chaos. You agreed, believing your feelings for Sebastian were purely platonic. But as the new school year begins, the line between friendship and something deeper began to blur.

Leander Prewett, persistent as ever, refuses to take no for an answer when it comes to his infatuation with you that started in your fifth year. Desperate for a solution, you turn to Sebastian for help, thinking it might finally end Leander's advances. Little did you know, this small request would set the stage for a far more tangled web of emotions and forbidden feelings.
