It had been a the whole summer after defeating Ranrok since Eden Starkhaven had last heard from Sebastian Sallow. It was as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth entirely. Feeling cast aside and used, she had hopes that returning to Hogwa...

It had been 2 days since Sebastian and I's heart to heart in the Undercroft. Things seemed to be relatively back to normal, though there still seemed to be some sort of distance from him despite all he had said. I knew why he did what he did now by ignoring me, so I gave him space to allow himself to process all that had occurred.
I would be lying if I said that I didn't miss him though. We were under the same roof, in the same dorm area yet I missed him being near me more then I ever had before back in 5th year. I still was trying to understand what that meant.
However, today was his birthday and Ominis had sent me an owl asking to meet up and talk about a small celebration.
After classes I made my way to the Undercroft where Ominis stood waiting and I approached him with a smile "You wished to speak to me?" I said to him as I pulled my robe closer around me due to the fact the Undercroft was quite cold most of the time.
Ominis nodded his head "I wanted to do something for Sebastian's birthday. Usually him and I just hang out here and play wizard chess, but I think this year should be different now that he's got you back around. I was thinking the three of us could make our way into Hogsmeade to the Three Broomsticks to have butter beers and perhaps even some fire whiskey's" he explained "I want you to come...because I don't think he will ever enjoy his birthday unless you are around"
I blushed at his statement. Surely that couldn't be true, I'm sure he enjoyed time with Ominis just as much as he did with me.
Memory of the other night in the Undercroft struck me, his hands on my face , wiping my tears away, his body so close to mine...
I would burn this world for you...
His words echoed in my mind and I couldn't help but feel the intimacy in them.
"Of course I'll come, I wouldn't miss it for the world" I said with a smile.
"Good, meet us there around 8, we will be at the bar" he said with a smile as he took his leave.
I let him leave before I decided to exit. What would I wear? I didn't want to look like I was fresh out of class, nor did I want to dress to casual. This was his birthday. I couldn't look a mess. I had some serious digging into the wardrobe to do.
I made my way out of the Undercroft and walked through the long corridors and hallways to the Slytherin common room. I was surprised how many people were lounging around considering classes were done for the day and most people liked to make trips into Hogsmeade or traipse around the school grounds. I walked along and spotted Imelda sitting with a few other Slytherin students and she eyed me from her seat with a nasty look on her face for some odd reason. Last I had checked, I hadn't don't anything to get on her bad list.
