SEBASTIANS P.O.V
"Enjoying the view?" She smirks. I gulp. I watch as she shakes her head and returns to her seat, continuing on her homework. Shes so effortlessly adorable. I watch as she skims over the writing before her, moving her finger along each sentence. I notice how she bites the inside of her lip while she reads and how she licks them every now and then out of habit. I stare at her lips as her tongue rolls over the bottom lip before she takes the inside between her teeth. Her eyes shoot up, noticing me staring.
"What?"
"Nothing" I shoot back, embarrassed she caught me staring.
"Youre acting strange, Sebastian. Something on your mind?"
"You" I think to myself, but instead I reply "Just this homework."
"Do you need help?"
"Uh I guess. I just dont kno-" I stop as she stands and walks over to my desk. Her eyes gaze over the questions before me and I'm hoping she doesn't realise I've spent all this time staring at her instead of writing a single answer or sentence.
"This one is just the recipie for wiggenweld. Horklump juice and dittany." She says pointing to the question. "And this one is a trick question, its asking if polyjuice potion can change a persons species. The answer is inevitably no, you can only change into another person".
Every word that comes out of her lips sounds like music to my ears. The way words roll off her tongue so effortlessly. The sound of her sweet raspy voice.
"Sebastian?"
"What?" I say, snapping out of my thoughts.
"Maybe you need to sleep. You're not even paying attention. Dont push yourself too hard okay? We can always study again tomorrow and if you need me to help, I'm always here."
"Yeah, I think youre right. I guess I'm still adjusting to the schooling schedule after a long break" I say. Brushing off the real reason as to why my mind is in such a wreck.
"Lets head back to the common room" she says moving away from my desk. I watch her as she begins walking away from my desk.
"Let me just get my potions and we'll go" she smiles.
As she leaves the main room I catch Deek staring at me.
"Deek thinks the young boy isn't tired. Deek thinks he may be distracted by the beauty within this room" he says with a wink before clicking his fingers and vanishing elsewhere.
Of course a bloody house elf can tell I'm head over heels.
