Fragile Shadows // Sebastian Sallow x Y/N

Chapter Nine - "Formans Vinculum"

Y/N

"So, what does this mean for us? Are we....together?" My voice was sheepish, my book in front of me seeming to not make sense as I scramble to get a sense of what Sebastian and I did in the forest.

Sebastian looked up from his own book, a book seeming to hold all sorts of spells. He leaned back, his gaze giving me chills down my back, "Well, after our little moment together, I would say we are." He smiled, looking back at his book. I nodded, soon getting up with the book I had on the desk. "I'm going to go. I promised Garreth I would study with him before dinner."

Sebastian closed his book immediately, looking up at me, "Garreth? Garreth Weasley? Are you joking?" His voice was a bit loud, which caused a student an isle back to "shush" him. Sebastian stood up, coming close to me. I held the book close to me as I shook my head, "I'm not joking. He likes to study with me. And besides, he's one of the few first friends I've made when I first came here. He didn't stare at me like a creep."

Sebastian rolled his eyes, a small smile forming as he nodded, "Fine, fine.... Well this creep is going to go to the Undercroft." He leaned down to kiss my forehead, but placed his hand on the small of my back, bringing me in. He pulled close to my ear, and whispered "You better behave with him."

He pulled away, moving his hand down more to grab at my ass. He gave a gentle squeeze, causing me to blush. "Whatever you say, sir." I winked at him, turning around as I headed out the door, leaving to meet with Garreth in the courtyard.

As I opened the large door, a girl was making her way towards me. She looked familiar.

It was that Ravenclaw girl from the other day. The one Sebastian just had around for....fun.

I watched as she walked past me, seeing where it is she was going.

Please don't go into the library. Please.

She made a right, my heart beat fast at the thought of her hugging on Sebastian. He wouldn't let her do anything. Sebastian seemed to be a loyal person, there's no way he would let someone like that girl get all over him while he was with me now.

I turned back around, trying to push the thought of that girl out as I walk toward the steps going down into the small garden area. It was the perfect place to study, especially during the fall.

I took a seat at a bench, and Garreth had made his arrival. "Ready to get some knowledge, little missy?"

I looked up at him as I opened my book, laughing gently. "I am in deed, little mister."

Two hours had gone by, and the sun was set. The only thing giving us light was the fire pits around the garden. I closed my book with a few rolls of loose parchment in between some pages. "I feel like we need a break." I say, stretching my arms up as I look over to the red haired boy. "Care to join me on a walk to the lake? Nothing beats the fresh smell of fall and water." He stood up, using a spell to have our books return to his dorm. "I'll make sure to give you back your book, I promise." He winked at me as he nudged me.

I nudged him back, rolling my eyes as we began to walk down a path. I peeked over to the large doors that led to the Annex, wondering what may have happened while those two were so close in distance.

Garreth nudged my arm with his elbow, leaning down to look me in the face, "Something on your mind, missy?"

I looked back to him, teasing him with a groan as I shoved his face away. "Well apparently you big stupid face is. Ever heard of personal space?"
