Fragile Shadows // Sebastian Sallow x Y/N

Chapter Eleven - "Secreta"

I hope you are enjoying the story so far! I just wanted to begin by saying this is going to still be a Sebastian x Y/N story, however, a bit of fluffy stuff between Ominis and Y/N will be happening. This will also be a slightly longer chapter. Enjoy!

Y/N

I held my wand in my hand, casting charms on a few leaves as I sat in the greenhouse waiting for my Herbology class to begin. Last night, with that Ravenclaw girl...It just kept playing in my head the way she was walking. The smile on her face. Her making her way to the library. I took a deep breath and sighed, "I'm overthinking again. I trust Sebastian... I need to."

And as the timing couldn't be better, Sebastian walked up to me. I looked up to see his elegant face, his smile charming as ever. I put my wand away and smiled back at him, "Hi Sebastian."

"Hey there. You doing okay? You seem a bit gloomy for a moment." He looked around, seeming to make sure no one was looking before he leaned in quick and placed a soft and quick kiss on my lips. I felt myself smile more after the kiss, shaking my head, "I'm fine. Just in thought. You ready for class?"

I started walking to the door as we made our way down the metal stairs. Professor Garlick welcomed us all as I took my spot, Sebastian standing next to me. He gave me a wink and turned his head to face the professor. I moved my eyes to focus on the professor, but someone else seemed to catch my attention. It was that girl. The girl who hugged on Sebastian, the girl heading to the library, and now the girl who's in Herbology with him.

Professor Garlick motioned to the girl, seeming very enthusiastic about the appearance of this student "We have a new student joining us. Well, she's not new to the school, but due to some circumstances, she will now be in our class. Her name is Prudence Winterburn. Please, welcome her and wish her luck!"

My chest tightened, my breathing seeming to have slowed. I looked over to Sebastian, his eyes glued on Prudence. I looked back to the girl and noticed she winked at him. Sebastian looked away, crossing his arms as he mumbled something to himself. I felt as though I was being a third wheel of some sort. Something was going on.

Students were soon released to work in pairs, working on growing certain plants to help us with our potions in our other class. Sebastian turned to me as he smirked, "Care to work with a charming man such as myself?" I nudged him, rolling my eyes. "I guess I have no other option. I'll be right back to get us a pot."

Sebastian watched as I walked over to the next room, looking around. I knelt down, moving a pot close to me as I filled it with dirt. I turned my head to peek at Sebastian, but I was only expecting to see him. Instead I saw him.....and Prudence.

They seemed to be engaged in only a whisper, but Sebastian looked mad. Was he mad she came up to him after they broke it off? Did they even break it off?

I felt the pit of my stomach grip itself in pain, quickly turning my head. "Trust Sebastian, dammit." I picked up the pot, looking at the dirt as I tried to clear my thoughts to only class and this plant we had to take care of. I walked over to an empty table and set the pot down, Sebastian coming up beside me with a smile. "Were you able to handle such a big pot all by yourself?" He teased, grabbing the seeds.

"Of course I could. You know I can handle much worse." I teased back, smiling up at him as I made a hole in the dirt for the seeds.

Herbology ended, an hour until my next class. I waved bye to Sebastian as he made his way to his own class. I stood by the large tree in the greenhouse, leaning against it as I felt the sharp pain in my stomach shoot up through my body. I breathed out, closing my eyes as I reached for my wand. I moved to the backside, hoping no one noticed the state I was in. I gripped my fist as I pressed the tip of my wand to my stomach, "Vinculum Nervos..." I let out a breath as I groaned.
