Sebastian's POV


It had been a week since our loss against Gryffindor. A lot had happened. Imelda wasn't happy. She was pushing practices harder than before.


On top of that, I received a letter from Anne for the first time since last year. I was excited until I read the contents.


Sebastian,


I know it's been a while but I don't think I'm ready to see you yet. I'm still trying to process everything that happened. If I don't write again, just know I love you but I'm not ready.


Anne


I scanned the words over and over on one Friday night, wishing it had said something different. I folded the letter and put it back in my table drawer.


How could she not be ready to see me? Everything I had done last year was for her. I went above and beyond for her and she still couldn't see me? I know what I did was wrong. I couldn't change what had happened. But I had hoped she would at least want to talk again.


My brain wouldn't stop racing with thoughts. I decided to try and clear my head the best way I knew how going up to the Astronomy Tower. It wasn't normally a space I spent a lot of time in, but occasionally it helped.


The cold air, the quietness. It was something I enjoyed.


I was mostly there when I thought I heard voices. I was on the last few steps when I saw her.


Y/n Evans.


But she wasn't alone. She was standing with that seventh year Gryffindor. I had seen them after the game, talking and smiling.


Now here she was, standing extremely close to him again. All I could do was watch. She started to walk away and I felt frozen.


I could have darted down the stairs, but for some reason, I just couldn't move. She got to the stairs and stopped when she saw me.


Our eyes met and I felt more than annoyed. It was a different feeling. It made me want to scream and slap this Gryffindor for some reason.
