THIRTY ONE 
____

This chapter contains mature content.

I received my first owl from Sebastian Sallow a few days after Christmas. Just a day before the New Year. Not that I was keeping count of our absence from each other, but I finally received an owl one evening.

Luckily, Natty was taking a bath and was nowhere near the dormitory, so I avoided any questions about who it was from at such a late hour.

Y/n

In need of some Deja Vu?

Meet me outside the Library.

And tell no one. 10pm

Sebastian

I couldn't help, but smile to myself.

Those were the exact same words Sebastian said before that disastrous library venture one year ago. Where he practically saved me from trouble and took the blame.

I didn't understand his motive for it, but my attention wasn't straight. All my head really thought about was seeing the Slytherin boy that was beginning to take hold of me.

Although it was school break at Hogwarts, there were still certain curfews for students in certain locations. Yeah, it sucked, but it was just part of the school rules that needed to be followed.

My body didn't actually process the meet-up until I was crossing the Central Hall's carpeted stairs.

The rate of my heart increasing, my hands beginning to sweat and my body temperature feeling higher than usual — I wanted to fight myself. Fight my feelings.

Sebastian Sallow stood there against the railing of the balcony.

His arms rested flatly while his long legs were slightly crossed on each other, almost giving a modeling stance. How his face was to the side, making sure I got a good look.

It's just another human body, Y/n. Be realistic.

I swallowed, taking slow steps down to finally confront the handsome man below me.

As I got closer, I noticed he wore a tight, green long-sleeve sweatshirt that represented his house; the cotton material hugged his toned body while I tried to maintain normal.

Sebastian looked up first, eyeing me up and down, not holding back his attention. His brown eyes scanned before glaring back toward mine.

"Hey, you." Sebastian let out, almost in a whisper.

I stood face-to-face with him, growing a small smile, "Hi."

Sebastian smiled back, turning his head to the side and viewing the entrance of the library below us.

"Luckily for us this time... there are no prefects tonight." Sebastian leaned over the railing, again.

I looked down at him, looking closely at the locked doors of the library.

"The doors are locked." I whispered.

"Alohamora exists." Sebastian reminded.

I held in my laugh, adjusting my posture from the railing, "So, what is the occasion on this library trip?"

Sebastian also stood up, adjusting his posture, "Hm, figured since I miss three weeks of classes, I need lots of catching up to do. And pick up a few books from there." He pointed.
