Unpopular Opinion time: Sebastian
* Also Spoilers!*
And TW: long, rambling, possibly incoherent thoughts. Because there are too many of them in my brain đ
Okay, maybe itâs not actually an unpopular opinion. Im not actually sure. BuuuutâŚ.
I absolutely love that Sebastian gets SO mad when we tell him about Lodgok.
Now, before anyone says anythingâŚ.
I have reasons.
1. His reaction 100% makes sense for his character. Iâm not saying his views arenât problematic. They definitely are. Boy needs some lessons. But we also have to remember literally every interaction we have seen or heard of Sebastian having with a goblin has been completely negative. Goblins cursed Anne (It was Rookwood, but Seb doesnât know that), Sebastian and MC are attacked by goblins multiple times, Goblins raid Feldcroft and nearby hamlets, AND a Goblin tries to kill Anne with an Axe in front of Sebastian. For him to have reacted to MC working with a Goblin in any other way would have felt disingenuous.
2. You could argue that heâs only angry because he cares about Anne, but I think you could also argue that In his own dumb 15-year-old boy way, heâs worried about MC, too. As stated previously, every interaction heâs had with Goblins has been negative. This kid is stressed to the nines, and now his new friend (MC) is galavanting off with some Goblin. Of course, heâs going to react negatively. In Sebastianâs mind, weâre doing something stupid and dangerous, and heâs scared. His reaction is definitely painful, but itâs also human. People donât always react appropriately or how weâd like them too in those situations. Plus, like I saidâŚ.. Heâs a dumb boy
3. Letâs also not forget that since losing his parents. Sebastian has been taught, (via Solomonâs example) to react to things he fears/doesnât understand with anger and hostility. Which is exactly what he does.
Look,Iâm not saying I donât want to drop kick him sometimes.
ButâŚthereâs just a special little place in my heart for our moody angsty little Seb. đđ
*also if you actually made it through that. Thank You and Iâm sorry. I hope your brain is okay after thatâŚ.đŹ

Fight or Flight - Sebastian Sallow/F!MC
Summary: Sometimes sleeping dogs don't lie.
Two years after his uncles death and with Anne missing the last remaining Auror who scents deception requests a testimony from the only person witness to what really happened between Sebastian and Solomon in the catacombs that day. In a bid to protect those memories and keep him out of Azkaban their marriage is arranged - A marriage Sebastian is hell bent on putting a stop to.

Tags/Warnings: Arranged Marriage, 18+, Explicit Sexual Content, Smut, Angst, Masturbation, First Time
Link: You can find the complete fic on Ao3.
A/N: Sebastian âmy wifeâ Sallow. To the anon who requested this, Iâm sorry itâs so late but it was so much fun to write.
Sebastian is almost certain heâd been on the receiving end of a lethal confundus charm. Either that or he was at present suffering a massive life altering haemorrhage somewhere amongst the sun deceptively warming his cheeks and the familiar groan of the dragon bones anchored above them, as it tilted its great head in greeting when they'd arrived in Hecate's office. Full of mysterious tombs and the lingering scent of smoke. Ash trampled so tightly into the grooves in the floorboards he doubted even the house elves could scour out the smell.Â
Heâd gotten too comfortable. No. Down right complacent as of late and now his psyche in a riotous act of self-preservation was giving him a blistering slap back into reality.Â
Pull yourself together.Â
Sebastian dug his nails into the soft flesh of his palm. He hissed at the sharp pain as he broke the skin. Felt the blood prickle hot against his sweat slicked palms as it beaded along the thin superficial wound. Uncomfortable. Stinging. And far, far too real.Â
âWhat-?â he managed to croak around a lump in his throat. Praying to Merlin that if this wasnât a dream it was some elaborate and albeit cruel practical joke.Â
âSpousal Privileges,â Hecat repeated. Matter of fact. Her features were drawn and to his dismay betraying no hint of amusement.Â
Sebastian choked violently on his own saliva. A hacked cough, raw against his throat. As if the wind had been knocked out of him by a patient and vindictive phantom.
âWhat this means is you couldnât be forced to give a testimony or surrender any memories pertaining to anything to do with Mr Sallow. With his sister still missing, the only people who know what really happened in that catacomb are the two of you. If you canât be forced to corroborate this theory that has been gaining traction at the Ministry thatâs the way it stays,â his professor continued to address the witch beside him, unmoved by the blood draining rapidly from his face.Â
Her eyes were fixed intently on Hecat, chin raised as she refused to meet Sebastianâs increasingly panicked eye. He shifted in his seat towards her. Turning rapidly back and forth between her and their professor.Â
Waiting. A heartbeat and then more passed. Mounting up until it became a deafening drum in his ears.Â
He wanted her to laugh. Let it loose. Burst the dangerous tension mounting with every second this insanity stretched on for. Most pathetically of all - he wanted her to save him. Wanted to watch her face crease with laughter at the absurdity of what Hecat was saying. Cling to some sense of normalcy, her stability by his side whilst the rest of him was spiralling out of control.
She was uncharacteristically still in her chair. As frozen as the statue of the mourning lover in the courtyard. Her fist clenched so tightly in the pleats of her skirt her knuckles blanched. A half finished braid sheâd been fiddling with behind her ear hung abandoned. Not a shadow of humour remaining.Â
âWhy now? Itâs been years sinceâŚâ she asked, with a more measured tone Sebastian felt the situation did not warrant.
She spared him a glance which did little to put him at ease. If anything the serious crease to her brow set him on a razor's edge.Â
Sebastian was unravelling. The thread heâd used to stitch back together a semblance of a life was pulling apart at an alarming rate. And the only two people who had any hope of holding him back together were entertaining this insanity.Â
âSome of Miss Sallowâs effects were uncovered at the former Feldcroft residence. It seems no one had tended to the home since your Uncle passedâŚunexpectedly. My contact at the Ministry informs me that there's only one Auror pushing for those memories. Sergeant Tuttle. Old guard. Worked closely with your uncle when they were both juniors in the department. The rest are happy to let Solomonâs memory remain as it has been for the past two years - the heroic final act protecting his young charges from a horde of uncontrollable inferi,â she paused and Sebastian felt the weight of every word. âPersonally I am inclined to agree.â
Hecateâs already thin lips pulled so tight they almost entirely disappeared. Her inscrutable brown eyes peeling back the curtain seeing far beyond the truth to the crux of him. Weighing his mettle. And he wasnât sure sheâd be impressed at what she found.Â
Because what he was - was careless. Sebastian supposed he could argue that his distress over losing his sister had made it too painful to return. Knowing Anne was not there, Feldcroft seemed rather pointless.Â
But really all heâd been was too eager to turn his back on that hovel that had never been his home. Ivy grew thick over its stones and he hoped one day it would pull it down entirely. No one had touched the wards in over a year. Perhaps when heâd boxed up his feelings and shoved them away in his desperation to move past what he had done, he didnât consider the possibility that there were others out there who, unlike him, may not want to move on so hastily from Solomon's death.Â
Anne certainly hadnât.Â
âWith you two being so close, this is the cleanest option-â Hecate continued.Â
âI donât bloody care about clean!â Sebastian broke from his stupor. Fist slamming on the table rattling the spoon from where it rested against his saucer. âTell me the other options. I donât care how messy they are. Iâll do them.â
âPerhaps I should rephrase,â Hecat said sharply. âThis is your only option. And youâd do well not to leap to such dramatics if you want this to work, Mr Sallow. In particular Iâd advise against taking such a tone with me.âÂ
Sebastian didnât care. Heâd already geared up to argue back against this preposterous idea when the statue of the witch beside him suddenly came to life. As if Pygmalion himself had loved her into life just to spite Sebastian.Â
âWeâll do it,â she said firmly.Â
Sebastian choked again, head snapping to look at her. âYou canât be serious!âÂ
She simply glared back at him, as if he wasnât the only reasonable person left in the room. âIâve kept you out of Azkaban this long-â
Their professor cleared her throat, having little patience for the squabblings of teenagers that was beginning to unfold in her office. It set Sebastian even more on edge. Sheâd thrown a bomb into their lives and was now regarding him as some petulant child causing a scene. As if instead while he was scrambling to hold it together she expected him to thank her for it.Â
âIâd choose your words more carefully in front of an audience but I admire the passion. If you want this to succeed youâll have to make them believe this. Believe you. You canât cast any doubt on the reason for any of it. A young couple, so in love they simply cannot wait to be married.â
***
It was like taking a match to a forest doused in kerosine. How quickly word could spread overnight when students kept such close quarters and they were eager for anything to save them from revision. Whispers billowed up from steeped mugs. Steam laced with secrets curled around their lips. Huddled so tightly together they looked like hydras. Each set of eyes alight with amusement. Teeth bared ready to feast on their speculation.Â
From the moment Sebastian had stepped into the Great Hall heâd felt it. The oppressive shift to the atmosphere that usually welcomed him each morning. Clouds dark, heavy with the foreboding rain swirled on the enchanted sky. At least it was fitting.
Instinctively he sought her out. Looked for hers amongst the hundreds of eyes turned towards him. Which he pointedly ignored instead following the remaining half who stole glances towards her.Â
Blue. Green. Brown. Shifted between them assessing to see what they might do.Â
She was boxed into the middle of the table by Onai and Sweeting with Reyes taking up the spot across from them. A vicious hound guarding her flock ensured even the most brazen little wretch who considered interrupting would think twice - give her wrath a wide berth.Â
Reyes to her credit - snarling banshee that she was - looked as deeply horrified by the pathetic silver band on her friend's finger as Sebastian felt it deserved.Â
Theyâd transfigured it hastily from a pair of silver spectacles once theyâd stumbled out of Hecatâs office the previous evening. One she kept in an odd tangle of items in her satchel and the rushed magic had already begun to tarnish its appearance. It was a wonder anyone actually believed them with how dull and thoughtless it looked sitting on her hand.Â
If her smile wasnât so tight, or her laugh a little too airy she would be executing Hecatâs ludicrous scheme to perfection.Â
Sebastian swallowed around the lump in his throat and sheepishly changed course. Rerouted himself away from the group of witches throwing his bag down on the bench and slumping into a seat at the Slytherin table. Which seemed to delight some of the onlookers. Clearly humiliation was a good seasoning for eggs, he thought as he poured himself a cup of tea from the pot and took out his potions essay in an attempt to look busy enough no one would suspect exactly why he was sitting alone. Or worse, try and talk to him. Not that they would dare when his face looked as thunderous as the sky overhead. It didn't, however, stop him from overhearing their animated gossiping.Â
âDo you think sheâsâŚyou know?âÂ
âObviously! Who in their right mind gets married a month before they leave school? Clearly theyâre in a rush before she starts to yâknow...â one girl smirked with an exaggerated flourish over her stomach.
Sebastian shot a glare across to the gaggle of Ravenclawâs in the year below. Who giggled even more loudly when they caught his eye, one turning pink from the tips of her ears to well past the neckline of her jumper. Sebastian on the other hand felt like someone had doused him in a bucket of water from the lake.Â
If Reyes didnât skin him for the insulting piece of jewellery she certainly would if she suspected heâd gotten her favourite flying partner up the kyte.Â
Sebastian tried to focus on his potions essay. List even a single ingredient of âFelix Felicisâ which was proving to be impossible when behind him a brazen fourth year proclaimed and loudly heâd caught them sequestered away between the stacks of the restricted section - her body bent over a desk. Sebastianâs grip on the quill tensed as he strained himself to write the differing effects between wyrm and dragon scale on a potion - and not a very vivid description of what he apparently looked like on his knees buried between her thighs. Ink blotted on the parchment.Â
Sod Hecat on âselling itâ. Why did they need to go to such lengths when apparently every gossiping vulture was content to click their beak and do all the work for them?Â
Surely Azkaban couldnât be worse than this?Â
Well, that was delusional - but if he overheard one more person comment on if her robes looked bigger he was more than likely going to do something that would get him thrown in Azkaban regardless.Â
Sebastian had anticipated suspicion but he still wasnât prepared for how much it would chafe.Â
He knew if they were not at the centre of this farce, the two main players on the stage they would have jovially picked apart their performance too. She would have speculated over their sanity as she picked idly at her cauldron cake. Made some snide comment about being too eager to get his leg over. Heâd bet her a galleon theyâd see the proof in nine months and she would have snorted, undignified unladylike into her pumpkin juice.Â
Being the subject of this speculation however was mortifying.Â
Would that be next? Bringing a child into the fucking mess heâd made just to cover his own back? If the thought of dragging her into a marriage him feel ill it paled in comparison to the feeling of crippling dread that conjured.Â
But would she want that one day? In a young witch's sacrifice to keep him had she truly considered all the things she was giving up in his stead. Things she may not know she even wanted until the opportunity had already been bartered and sold off for the price of his freedom. What kind of man was he to take the hope of any kind of family from someone who already had none to show for it? Take away the chance for someone to love her.Â
Or maybe she never intended to give up on that particular dream. And Sebastian would be expected to play his part - the cuckolded husband.Â
Work late until the candles burned down to the wick to give her lover time to retreat. Share her with one; or with many.Â
Vow now to never let her go without.Â
Even go as far as to raise her children as his own. Glamour their cheeks with foreign freckles heâd wish were inherited. Brand them with the Sallow name with ink on thin parchment but not their blood; their ties to him just as flimsy and performative as hers.
Her easy smile as she lathered honey onto her toast set his teeth on edge. Sebastian felt in that moment like he never really knew her at all. Head pounding Sebastian stuffed his ink pot and notes back into his bag. Abandoned his breakfast in a rush to get out of the stifling hall. Away from the whispers that he knew would also be deafening in her ears. Perhaps even more so.
âI didnât even know they were courting. Itâs a shame heâs off the market.â
âHereâs the thing - I donât think they were. Clearly, heâs marrying her to do the right thing. Now that sheâs trapped him with a baby.â
She caught his eye, her eyebrows stitched together in concern but it did not offset the rigid lock of her furious ticking jaw. Teeth set, clamped together as if Hecat had clamped a muzzle on a fucking dragon and then handed her chains to Sebastian.Â
Shamefully, he couldnât bring himself to hold her gaze. Couldnât even bear to face her in that moment despite knowing he was the reason she had to listen to these lies spread. He should tell her he was sorry. But instead he fled.Â

HL Cast React to you Cradling Them When Theyâre Upset
Sebastian Sallow
Sebastian craves physical comfort like a starving man craves bread, but heâs very rarely had the opportunity to express it. Solomon was not the hugging sort, Ominis typically loathes physical contact unless itâs necessary, and Anne⌠well. The curse makes it hard for her to bear a cuddle for long. Sebastian has trained himself to give brief hugs and pats on the back, if anything at all, worrying that heâll be seen as clingy, needy, or annoying if he holds on too tight, or too long. The last thing he wants to be is annoying, least of all to you. He has to be strong, he has to be cheerful, he has to be the one that everyone relies on. That means heâs useful, and people will stay by him. He canât be a burden, or heâll be abandoned.
So when you find him in the Restricted Section, surrounded by books and weeping into his hands at the sheer hopelessness of everything, heâs stunned when your immediate reaction is to pull him into your lap. He tenses, embarrassed by his display of emotion and afraid of needing you too much. But the longer you hold him, the more his defences crumble, and itâs not long before heâs sobbing into your shoulder, unable to speak, desperate to be held, to be loved, to be given the affection heâs been denied for so long. He clings to you for hours, alternately apologising and crying some more.
Once heâs calmed down enough to think straight, he realises youâve not let him go. He begins to worry, fretting that youâre only doing this to be nice, but you still donât let him go. He begins to relax into you, accepting that finally, finally, he can hold and be held like he needs. Heâs got years of missing affection to make up for, and this is only the start. From this moment, any moment not touching you is considered a moment wasted, and Sebastian will hold your hand, link your arms together, hook your ankle over his under the table, or simply sit close enough so his arm or leg is up against yours. That is, if heâs not outright hugging you or snuggling you. For the first few months, youâll be lucky if you get five minutes to visit the loo alone, and he gets twitchy if youâre apart from him for too long.
He's yours for life. Treat him kindly.
Ominis Gaunt
Ominis isnât really one for physical affection, especially if youâre only friends, or in the early stages of your relationship. Heâs not used to it, almost afraid of it, having never really experienced it as a child, and disliking the rough, enthusiastic, inexperienced hugs his friends give. Itâs nothing like the tender affection he craves, and ever the gentleman, heâs worried about overstepping his boundaries. Ever the traumatised soul, heâs afraid of asking for what he really wants. He knows this isnât something he can demand, as he has been taught a Gaunt would.
He doesnât emote much, especially negative emotions. Heâs always been taught to hide negative feelings or any kind of extreme emotion, and he wears that self-control like armour. But heâs not infallible, things still get to him, especially as he bottles things up. So when a particularly barbed jab from another student gets under his skin, he retreats to the Undercroft to rant at the air. This is how you find him, striding up and down and shouting at nothing, as if heâs arguing with someone.
Of course, heâs very embarrassed to be found this way, and tries to cover it by sliding back into the careful neutrality he so often wears. You know better though. You sit behind him, slide your arms around his chest, and pull him into your lap, your hand at the back of his head, letting him rest against you.
It sparks a memory he thought heâd buried. He was four, heâd tripped over and scraped his knee. His parents had scolded him for crying, growing more irate as their harsh words upset him further, and then Aunt Noctua was there, lifting him into her arms and bearing him away from the pain and the anger that was all his parents ever gave him. Sheâd taken him to her rooms in the Manor and settled in a chair, holding his head to her chest and humming a lullaby, soothing him with a hand on the back of his head.
Itâs one of the last memories he has of her, and as it surfaces, he breaks. No matter how much he tries to pull it back, he just canât, and your arms are iron around him, like a cage. But itâs a cage he doesnât want to be released from, craving the warmth of your embrace, longing for the love and safety that is such a distant, fragmented memory, something that seemed like an impossible dream until now. He feels he should be embarrassed by this horrendous display of failed control, but he just canât bring himself to care. Itâs a problem for future Ominis. Right now, all he cares about is the feel of your heartbeat against his cheek, the gentle scent of your skin, the feel of your body against his as you hold him so tenderly. To his utter disbelief, you hum a gentle melody. Itâs not the lullaby Noctua used to sing, but itâs soft and warm and comforting.
After this, Ominis is much more free with his affection with you, though he still keeps it to a minimum around others. If heâs ever had a bad day, or just needs comforting, he leans into you in a particular way that you come to learn means he wants to be held like that again. He knows youâll never judge him for it, and he loves you all the more because of it. He becomes increasingly protective of you, fearing losing you, but he is ever respectful of your boundaries.
When he thinks back over all the days you spent together, he realises the time you first held him like that was the moment his subconscious mind began planning your wedding, even if he didnât know it at the time.
Garreth Weasley
Garreth is a naturally cheerful person, and while he can get irritable, itâs over quickly and heâs back to being happy. Itâs very rare for him to get upset for any significant period of time, so itâs quite a shock when you find him in his dorm, head hanging, faded tear-tracks on his cheeks. He tries to brush it off, of course, to make a joke or try to make you laugh, but you know better. You sit beside him and ask, and he tries to change the subject. But with a little prodding, he eventually tells you, grudgingly, miserably, what's made him so down.
It doesnât take much to convince him to curl up in your arms. Garreth has always been comfortable with affection, and would probably still climb in his mumâs lap if he didnât worry that heâd flatten her. Heâs worried that heâll squash you and takes a good while for him to relax, but once he does, he fully flops on you, murmuring soft little sounds of contentment as you rub his back or play with his hair. If you try to pull away too soon, he pretends heâs still sad so youâll cuddle him more, even if heâs feeling on top of the world that youâd be so kind to him.
It tells him that youâre just like him, happy to snuggle and happy to do whatâs needed to make him feel good, as he would for you. He feels a deeper bond with you than before, and the rest of Hogwarts can expect to find the pair of you draped over each other in all corners of the castle after this.
Leander Prewett
Itâs⌠a little awkward to begin with, especially because an upset Leander is often a hostile Leander, as it's the way he's learned how to protect himself. You eventually convince him to let you hold him, but it takes a while. Leander is very tall with rather long limbs, so getting him in your lap in the first place is a struggle, especially as heâs so resistant to begin with. Heâs already embarrassed enough by being emotional then snappy in front of you, worried that youâre going to make fun of him or worse, pretend to be nice and tease him mercilessly later. Itâs the last thing he needs. But, with a little coaxing (and a bit of tugging) you manage to settle him in your lap. Yeah, the height difference is even more noticeable now, but that doesnât matter to you. You make sure heâs comfy and hold him tight, not saying a word, just letting your hug do the talking for you.
He doesnât tell you what set him off this time, what made him so upset. But after a long while as he curls around you, his head on your shoulder, his legs dangling over the edge of the chair or bed on which you sit, he tells you little things about his past. Some of them are happy memories or silly stories. Some of them are not. Leander bears his soul to you in bits and pieces, every word he speaks the truth, and all you need to do is listen. This is the moment he truly falls for you, a helpless, headlong tumble, and he would fight a dragon with a wooden sword to keep you from this moment on.
Amit Thakkar
Amit has always worn his heart on his sleeve, and is free with his emotions around you once you two become firm friends, or a couple. Heâs a gentleman through and through, though this is mostly down to his natural shyness. He prefers to focus on you and your problems than his own, assuring you that heâs perfectly alright if you find him feeling down. You find him one evening staring down at his telescope, on the verge of tears, as the lens has cracked. He doesn't mind telling you why it's so upsetting to him, expecting a hug or maybe a pat on the back. So itâs quite the surprise to him when you pull him into your lap and snuggle him close, and at first, heâs not sure what to do with himself. He holds himself very still and stiff, and you have to encourage him to relax more than once.
He soon finds himself sinking into your embrace, comforted by your presence and your kindness, the pair of you warming each other atop the chilly Astronomy Tower. Heâll freely admit to you whatâs been preying on his mind as the lens was just the straw that broke the camel's back, and shyly admit he really enjoys this particular kind of cuddle. Heâll probably doze off in your lap if you sit like this too long, and Amit is a very heavy sleeper. If he manages to stay awake, heâll run his hand over your back, trying to reciprocate some of the attention youâre giving him, trying to say without words just how much things like this mean to him.
He wonât indulge often, he likes to be the one holding you, but itâs comforting for him to know that itâs something he can enjoy if he truly needs a pick-me-up.
Andrew Larson
In all fairness, Andrew will be climbing into your lap the moment you give the barest hint that this is what youâre going to do when heâs upset. Heâs free with his affection in a more subdued way than Garreth, perhaps, but he makes no secret of how much he loves being snuggled up in your lap. He loves the security of being held, especially if you play with his hair. Itâs guaranteed to cheer him up in no time at all, no matter how low heâs feeling. He loves draping his head and arms over your shoulders, and if youâre strong enough to carry him, heâll fall in love with you if you carry him to bed when he starts to drift off.
In fact, Andrew loves this attention and affection so much he might even make himself get all teary eyed if it means youâll draw him into your lap and rock him back and forth, even if thereâs nothing actually wrong. Once he learns youâll cuddle him the way he wants regardless if whether heâs actually upset or not, heâll quit with the crocodile tears and swap them for happy little giggles.
Poppy Sweeting
Youâve barely put your arms around her before Poppy has slung her arms around your neck, swinging her legs up and snuggling into your chest. Itâs almost as if sheâs been made to fit especially in your lap, her cheek fitting perfectly into the crook of your shoulder. She might play with your hair a little to distract herself from whatever it is thatâs upset her, but sheâll be honest with you if you ask what the matter is. Sheâs always been a cuddly sort, and regardless of whether youâre simply friends or are dating, Poppyâs always going to be giving you hugs or asking for piggyback rides (or just climbing on you anyway). This is a natural progression for the both of you, though Poppy will most likely want to do the same for you the next time youâre upset.
Sheâs stronger than she looks, so donât worry about squashing her.
Natsai Onai
Natsai has always been an affectionate soul, but sheâs also tough as old iron and rarely shows when sheâs upset unless itâs about to overcome her. She learned in her fifth year that she could always reach out to you when she was upset, so thatâs what she does. Itâs still a surprise for her when you pull her into your lap to hold her, she was only expecting a friendly pat on the back or perhaps a brief hug, but your gesture is welcome nonetheless. It reminds her of the way her father would hold her when she was little, and she takes great comfort in it. Itâs not something Natsai will tolerate for long, as sheâs always been good at recovering from upset quickly, and being an energetic soul, itâs not long before sheâs fidgeting and wanting to move about. She prefers to be the one holding you at any rate, and can sit still for hours if she does. Sheâs always felt much more comfortable in giving affection than receiving it, though she really does enjoy it when you do.
Imelda Reyes
Lol are you joking? When Imeldaâs upset she wants to be alone, and if you try and intrude on her when sheâs having a bad day or worse, actually crying, sheâll chase you all through the Highlands just to beat you up. Sure, sheâll probably apologise afterwards when sheâs calmed down, but sheâs got a reputation to uphold as Hogwartsâ baddest bitch, and she wonât ever let anyone see her cry, let alone in anyoneâs lap. Now, if itâs you thatâs upset? You can bet your arse she wonât let you get off her lap unless youâre about to pass out or are busting for a piss.

Mostly Sebastianâs POV following the argument because I wanted to put him through itÂ
Maybe you were naive for believing your last year at Hogwarts would be easy, but after Ranrok, Rookwood, the Keepers, and the whole debacle with Sebastian in the catacombs, you were desperate for a sense of normalcy. You had deluded yourself into thinking that things could only get better from then on, and for the most part, they had.Â
There was something about this semester, though. Something in the air, or in the water. Something in your clothes and in your bed and in your chest that just kept digging deeper and sharper, leaving you uneasy and on edge.Â
You and Sebastian had been tense with each other, even though you didnât mean to be. Neither one of you meant to be assigning blame so harshly, or to be getting so worked up over nothing at all, ending up angry more often than not. Growing up had proven to be fucking scary, though, and the learning curve could be enough to knock most people on their asses and keep them there for a good, long while. You and Sebastian had juggled these fears and told one another about them after youâd both already blown up, and you had apologized quietly for snapping so hard over dumb shit like spilled vials of Wiggenweld, and sometimes it was enough.Â
Sometimes, it wasnât.Â
It wasnât enough when you threw your hands up one night to scold Sebastian too loudly for staying up late, cutting one too many corners, and getting busted in the restricted section. The weeks worth of detentions had only served to set back his schedule, but it was his own damn fault, so why was he complaining in the first place? You clenched your fists and your voice was shaking when, halfway through wondering aloud when Sebastian was going to learn to be fucking responsible, you realized you didnât mean that, and that it was kind of a fucked up thing to say.
You might have tried to backpedalâ to apologizeâ but Sebastian was tense. He was scared. He had fucked up his end of term project for Potions, and he was positive heâd basically failed an exam in History of Magic earlier today because of how scatterbrained he had been. He had yet to narrow down a potential career path for after school ended, which his professors never let him forget, much to his annoyance. So as you drew in a breath to stutter out an apology, Sebastian was too afraid of hearing more about what a fuckup he was to let you start.Â
Blindly, he picked up the closest thing to him on the desk situated between you both, and shot out of his seat to throw it at the wall. It turned out to be an ink container, the black, murky liquid spilling down the walls of the Room of Requirement, and the sound of the shattered pieces of the bottle cascading to the floor was muted by the volume of Sebastianâs cruel words.
When Sebastian was finally out of breath from screaming and your tears were streaming down your cheeks in earnestâ the salt trails equal parts rage, disbelief, and guiltâ the two of you stared at one another for a long, heavy moment.Â
Youâd both fucked up, and you both knew it.Â
But Sebastian was starting to lose himself, and you couldnât stop sobbing. The air was too thick for words, the pain and the anger and the fear combusting into a shrieking tempest. It was too much to bear in the cavernous room, and you both cracked.Â
Two years of your steady cadence shuddered and fell like leaves when Sebastian found his voice first.Â
âIâm fucking done.âÂ
â
It had been three days of Sebastian actually staying in his dorm. He hadnât been sleeping at all, but he was there during the night, and Ominis had been forced to listen to his friend toss and turn fitfully since heâd ended things with you so terribly.Â
Sebastian could still hear the echoing slam of the massive oak doors of the Room of Requirement. He could still hear the way youâd choked on your words, and when he closed his eyes in his vain attempts to quiet his mind, all he saw was you. Your hands curled into fists, teeth savaging your bottom lip, tears coursing down your face and dripping from your chin as youâd squeezed your bloodshot eyes closed and started erasing him from your mind.Â
At least, Sebastian imagined you had.Â
Given his shitty academic performance in recent weeks, Sebastian couldnât afford to skip classes in order to avoid you, but it turned out that he didnât have to. You hadnât shown up once to any of your classesâ even the ones you didnât share with him. It hammered home the finality of what had transpired three nights ago, and if he drank a little too much stolen Firewhiskey to cope with the sinking feeling in his chest, Ominis elected not to say anything about it.Â
âYouâve been under a lot of stress recently,â Ominis said later that night, squeezing Sebastianâs shoulder as he used the brunet as leverage to lower himself into the couch cushions. The common room was deserted, and Sebastian was grateful for the lack of prying eyes, curling his hand tighter around the neck of the bottle between his legs. âBoth of you have. Sometimes, things just boil over.âÂ
Sebastian didnât reply at first. He didnât even know where to fucking start. Stress couldnât begin to excuse the shit heâd said to you right before he left. In-between your gut-wrenching sobs, he was certain he had heard your heart crack in two at some point, and it was his own fault. Running his hands down his face, Sebastian heaved a trembling sigh, trying to sort out the crappy thoughts bouncing around his tipsy brain.Â
âWas she in any of your classes with you today?â Sebastian asked, his gaze trained on the ceiling as he willed the watery tone in his voice away. He had cried enough over everythingâ his eyes and his throat fucking ached from it.Â
Ominis sighed, reaching to the side table for his steaming cup of tea. He worked it into a safe grip before blowing softly, taking a tentative sip. âNot today, no. None of her roommates have seen her in her dorm eitherâ I already asked.âÂ
Sebastian just wanted to know how you looked. Maybe it was awful of him to think as much, but he liked to imagine you were faring as bad as he was. You were an impossibly strong and powerful witch, willful and understanding, and you got mad so rarely that Sebastian couldnât help but loathe the idea of you putting on a brave face and smiling until you were over him.Â
What right did he have to be thinking such things, though? He was the one who had walked out.Â
Ominis said nothing when he heard Sebastian lift the bottle to his lips again, taking a hearty swig that burned on the way down. Tears welled up in his swollen, brown eyes, and they slipped down his cheeks silently, a metaphorical rain cloud looming over his end of the couch. The two men didnât say a word, but after a while, Ominis tugged Sebastian against his shoulder, letting the heartbroken man cry softly into his pajamas.Â
â
âBloody hell, mate,â Garreth muttered, leaning over his cauldron to get closer to Sebastian. âTwo years, though?â
The classroom was quiet, save for the steady bubbling at everyoneâs stations. They were supposed to be working on brewing an Edurus Potion, but Garreth seemed more interested in his friendâs failed love life after hearing through the grapevine what had happened. Sebastian didnât answer, choosing to focus on adding in the Mongrel Fur to his silvery concoction.Â
âTogether that long and this close to graduation, I thought that was going to turn into fucking marriage, you know? Are you sure itâsââ
Garreth stopped talking when Sebastian slammed his hands down on his table, shattering a flask under the weight of his fist so suddenly, the redhead jumped back with his green eyes blown wide. Sebastianâs stare fell from Garreth to the blood pooling under his palm, biting his tongue through the stinging pain and unintentional tremors while Professor Sharp strode over to see what the commotion was about.Â
Docked five house points and dismissed to the Hospital Wing, Sebastian shuffled up the winding staircases in a daze. His head hurt when he walked through the double doors to the infirmary, but he ignored the dull ache and got to dealing with his hand so he could leave faster and sleep through the impending migraine. Once all the glass had been picked out of Sebastianâs cuts and heâd been disinfected, bandaged, and fed a Wiggenweld potion for extra measure, he made his way back to the dorms.Â
He dimly realized on the trek down that it wasnât how long he had been together with you that was preventing him from getting over you.Â
â
âYouâll be back on your feet in no time,â Leander said from two tables away, raising his Butterbeer towards Sebastian and Ominis. The two were tucked away in the far corner of The Three Broomsticks at Ominisâ insistence, in some feeble attempt to get Sebastian out of the permanent rut he had found himself in for five consecutive days now. The brooding Slytherin just picked at his bandages, gritting his teeth together and silently hoping that the dirty bar floor would open up and swallow him whole.Â
There were too many students around for comfort, and a number of them glanced cautiously between Leander the Sebastian, checking to make sure that the Gryffindor wasnât at risk of having his nose broken. He meant wellâ especially after 6 Butterbeersâ but Prewett was famously not good with words, and Sebastian didnât trust himself to speak anymore.Â
Leander motioned to Sirona for another drink, and once sheâd deposited it on the table with an amused shake of her head, he walked the pint over to the dreary corner. âOn me. You donât need her, mate. Chin up.âÂ
With a rough clap on Sebastianâs shoulder, he left just as suddenly as heâd appeared. Ominis listened warily for any signs of anger or sadness, but all he heard was the sound of liquid sloshing as Sebastian lifted the drink to his lips and chugged down two thirds of it.Â
As he set the tankard down on the table, Sebastian looked up at the cobweb covered beams overhead, acknowledging that no, he didnât need you.Â
But that wasnât what was keeping him so low, either.Â
â
After a week without so much as a glimpse of you, Sebastian took to wandering. He was restlessâ constantly fidgetingâ like he had a fire burning under his ass all hours of the day. His chest was perpetually heavy, as though there were a Graphorn sitting on him, and his hair was in a constant state of disarray from running his hands through it.Â
Sebastian was a mess. He knew he was.Â
Shit, there really werenât any other excuses for standing in a fucking fountain in the middle of the night, staring daggers at a stone dragon because there was no one else around to focus his frustrations on. There were probably better places to be shifting through his jumbled thoughts than in the middle of the Transfiguration Courtyard, but at this point, he felt bad keeping Ominis awake all night with his inability to sit still and sleep.Â
Either way, Sebastian halted his wading through the water to glare firmly at the statue again, doing his best to imagine a future without you in it.Â
Thus far, you had been Sebastianâs first and only loveâ aside from dueling. You knew him inside and out. You could look at him from across a room and know instantly how close he was to punching someone, how tired he was, or whether or not he was actually listening to a conversation. You had a million different smiles for a million of Sebastianâs petty annoyances, and all of them struck hard and true and left him feeling at peace with the state of his life.Â
He knew you just as wellâ it wasnât like you were some all powerful Legilimen living in his head. You had your flaws, your insecurities, your anxieties. You made mistakes, and you had inhuman levels of empathy and understandingâ which was probably how you had managed to deal with him after your tumultuous fifth-year.Â
There was something viscerally calming about you, something that never failed to keep him in line when he was acting like a piece of shit, and that kept him steady when he was feeling anxious. It had been too much, though, and Sebastian knew you took on the burdens of others far too heavily without stopping to think of yourself. It weighed on you.Â
You werenât perfect, but neither was he.Â
Leaning against the dragon, Sebastian closed his eyes and rubbed the bridge of his nose, the water in the fountain lapping at his calves and trickling soothingly in a short arc from the dragonâs parted lips.Â
Maybe Sebastian just couldnât comprehend people as well as he thought he could. That was probably it.Â
You were the brains, and he was the brawns. You were philosophical, seemingly making sense of everything that crossed your path, while Sebastian understood too little despite trying. Between the two of you, you managed to make just enough sense of the world to be comfortable. But now everything was over.Â
Sebastian kicked at the water idly, dodging under the dragonâs stream to make another lap around the fountain.Â
He liked dueling. He appreciated how simple it wasâ it was do or die, realistically speaking. Cast or get casted on. Win or lose. Whoever he would go up against would inevitably let their mask slip, cluing him in on their thinking, their pain, their weaknesses. It was logical for him, and most of the time, he found his opponents predictable.Â
Sebastian never could have predicted that he would walk out on you, though, and he definitely wouldnât have ever predicted that you would let him.Â
It took him a few minutes to realize that he was standing under the dragonâs stream, and it was soaking through his hair and into his shirt. He sighed, slicking his bangs away from his face before letting the cold water rain down on his flushed face for a moment, and then he was stepping out of its way.Â
There had to be a reason Sebastian was having so much trouble with this.Â
Leander had been unwittingly correct; Sebastian definitely didnât need you, as in, it wasnât like he couldnât breathe without you. He was his own person with his own strengths, and you were the same. It wasnât even that he had put âtoo much time into itâ, as Garreth had implied, because loving you had never felt time consuming. He couldnât even begin to move on from this, and it was pissing him off, because he was really fucking tired of crying and of staring at walls, unfocused and feeling hollow.Â
Sebastian was especially tired of his hands turning over all the time to find yours, because he knew you werenât there anymore. Still, he couldnât stop his fingers from spreading to make room between them for yours, and he couldnât stop his eyes from scanning every room for you. He would never be able to stop his body from shifting to accommodate someone who would never occupy that space again.Â
Sebastian fixed his stormy gaze on the dragon again, deep in thought about you. You, who always understood a little more than you probably should have, and who always knew how to read him like a damn book. You would lay beside him every night tangled together, tapping in time to the steady beat of his heart under your ear, quieting the restless drive that seemed to always exist within him.
He could move on from you. He could focus on his studies, the two of you would graduate, and eventually you would both find someone else. But ultimately, Sebastian seriously doubted he would ever feel the bone-deep comfort that stemmed from you again. It seemed highly unlikely that he would ever meet someone that made him feel the way you did. It was like⌠no matter how long the two of you sat and watched clouds, or meandered through the woods, it was never time wasted. It had always been okay to just exist for a while without doing something, or making something, or going somewhere. When he was with you, it had always felt okay for him to put his problems on the table and walk away from them for a while, instead of obsessively stabbing them and getting more and more frustrated.Â
No matter where he went or how successful Sebastian could potentially be, he had a sneaking suspicion that his fingers would always spread just far enough for yours to slide between them.Â
The sound of sloshing water filled the courtyard, and then Sebastianâs soaked shoes were slapping against the grass with each pounding step that led him full speed towards the Room of Requirement. The only thought in his mind as he skipped up the steps two at a time was that the peace that came over the both of you when you were together had to be worth fucking trying again.Â
There was something to be said about how the normally concealed oak doors were already displayed, as though beckoning him to where he knew you had been hiding for days now. He eased his way inside without a second thought, noting the messy state of the desk in the corner and the stacks of books that had toppled over on themselves beside the entryway. The entire space looked lived in, and your unique scent hit him full force as he strode further into the room.Â
When Sebastian reached the bottom of the tiny stairwell leading towards the larger living area, you were looking up from your seat in front of the fireplace that lit the otherwise dark chamber. The look on your sleepless face and the way your unruly hair curled wildly around your temples clued him in on the fact that he wasnât the only one who had been feeling like utter shit this last week. Your lips parted around a silent gasp as Sebastian stumbled towards you, still panting from having sprinted to get there.Â
âHi,â he wheezed, leaning forward on his knees and forcing a deep breath into his lungs in a bid to prevent himself from passing out.Â
âSebastian?â Your voice was small and raspyâ as though it hadnât been used the entire time youâd been holed up here. âWhy are you so wetââÂ
âI love you,â he interrupted, his labored breathing filling the silence that followed the declaration. âI love you and Iâm so fucking sorry that Iâm such a prick and that I hurt you. I fucked up and I canât take back anything that was said but I wanted you to know how sorry I am, and that I donât want to be done, and if you arenât tired of me yet I have a really stupid dueling metaphor for why we should stay togetherâ mmphââÂ
You had crossed the space between you both in a flash, reaching out preemptively until your trembling hands clasped Sebastianâs soaked tie to yank him towards you.Â
âI missed you,â you whispered as you leaned your forehead against his, your breath warming his chilled lipsâ just a hairâs width away from kissingâ but your hesitation burned like fire between the two of you. âMerlin, Sebastian, Iâm so sorryââ
Sebastian reached up to tangle his fingers in your hair, and his damp skin caught on the tiny knots that were scattered throughout the normally tame strands. His sighs mixed with yours, the two of you murmuring tense little âI love youâs and âI missed youâs until the sounds mingled and settled in time.Â
Looping an arm around your waist to guide you towards the modest bedroom the room had conjured up years ago, Sebastian maintained the tentative space between your lips, whispering your name as he led you through the hallway. Your fingers were already working open the buttons on his soaked shirt, trusting him completely to walk you safely backwards to your once shared bedroom. Sebastian slowed, taking his hands off of you only once to shrug out of his button up, dropping it haphazardly behind him. Your strikingly warm hands blazed over his shoulders, then down his chill-ridden arms, before he was bending over to rid himself of his waterlogged shoes and socks. Sebastian stood straight right after, resting his hands on your waist while your shaky hands slipped down to work at the wet catch of his trousers.Â
The bedroom door was shut, so your heads banged together when Sebastian accidentally walked you into it. He blurted a string of curses, leaning down to press his lips gently against your forehead apologetically. Blindly, he reached behind you in search of the doorknobâ which was quite frankly the only unfamiliar part of the entire roomâ because the door had never been closed before.Â
Sebastian realized belatedly that oh, the door had never been closed before, and the couch youâd been perched on when he walked in had been covered in a nest of thick quilts and extra pillows.Â
Oh.Â
He trailed his lips slowly across your brow, then down the curve of your nose, before kissing the corners of your mouth so tenderly that the affection left you wanting to cry. Pressing one more kiss to the tip of your nose, he whispered, âYou slept on the couch?âÂ
Your breath caught in your throat, and your fingers stilled in their efforts to remove the damp material from Sebastianâs clammy skin. Shivering slightly, you could only look up at him through your lashes, understanding that he wasnât asking so much as he was stating. Of course he knew you had slept on the couch.Â
Silence crept through the dark hallway, broken only by your meek sniffles, before you were nodding against Sebastianâs chest. He lowered his head in an instant, pressing his lips to your cheeks, but the sudden taste of salt and the slip of water had him pulling away to look at you. You were quick to wipe away the fresh tears dripping down your face, your breath hitching on barely-caught sobs and your bloodshot eyes squeezing shut against them.Â
Sebastian captured your hands in his and twined your fingers together, nuzzling away your tears without a care for his own, and he hovered cautiously for a beat before finally closing the space between your lips to kiss you.Â
It lasted for a moment, then a minute, then a lifetime as Sebastian leaned in closer and breathed love into you, receiving in equal parts the taste of his tenderness returned. He freed one hand to gently cup your face, his thumb wiping through the wet trails that still lingered, and your arm around his waist tightened immeasurably further, tugging him flush to you.Â
You whispered against his soft lips then, your voice cracking, âWhat brought you back?âÂ
Sebastian pulled back enough to look at youâ really look at youâ and take in every bit of your face like he would never get the chance to again. It wasnât like he didnât already have every expression of yours memorized, but in the last seven days without seeing that warm light in your eyes, the world had seemed a whole lot darker. He sighed, swallowing thickly as he wondered how to begin phrasing every bottomless thought that heâd had since he realized why he hadnât been getting over you.Â
He didnât need you to function. His relationship with you wasnât an investment or something that could be measured with time, and it wasnât like he couldnât imagine a future without you. It was just that he didnât want to.Â
Sebastian didnât want to live without you beside him. He didnât want to grow old without you, and he didnât want anything but to be surrounded by your warmth every day for the rest of his life.Â
He leaned forward and kissed you again, just as gently as the last dozen times, and you reached up to cradle the hand he still had cupped against your cheek. Breathing a long sigh, Sebastian stared at you longingly as he murmured, âWherever you are is where I want to be. Itâs home. I wouldnât be stranded without you, but the place I like best is wherever I can be next to you.â You trembled against him, both of you biting back resurfacing tears and failing miserably. âIf itâs okay, can I come home?âÂ
A tiny whimper slipped from your throat as you nodded, wiggling your arms up to throw them around Sebastianâs shoulders, and then you were sniffling feebly into the crook of his neck. Sebastian wrapped his arms around your wait, holding you tightly as he fumbled for the doorknob, and by the time the two of you had crossed the short space to the bed, you were somewhere between laughing and crying.Â
Your hands moved back to Sebastianâs glued on trousers, leaning up into his kisses eagerly as you swiftly got to removing the painfully cold attire. With a little assistance from the brunet, the two of you managed the pantsâ by the grace of Merlin and more than a little shimmying. Sebastianâs briefs and the oversized jumper you wore vanished significantly quicker than the rest, and he quickly eased you down onto the soft, familiar sheets.Â
Sebastian rolled over beside you, lifting his hips to haul the covers over you both before he pressed his still-chilled body into your welcoming embrace, and he relished in the shiver that coursed over you from the contact.Â
When your lips came together the next time, neither one of you pulled away, leaving your tears outside of the safe, blanketed world youâd created for yourselves. The whispered love that twined like smoke alongside the quiet sounds of your hands relearning each otherâs skin filled the air for hours. Gasping breaths and soft moans of your name were all you could hear, Sebastianâs gentle affirmations of reverence making your heart swell with unbridled affection.Â
You stayed like that all night, wholly content for the first time in a good, long while. When the sun finally began to cast its waking rays through the paneled window, bathing you both in a golden glow that illuminated the drying sweat on your skin, Sebastianâs soft murmurs and twin heartbeat lulled you into a blissful sleep.
Just before unconsciousness stole you away, you threaded your fingers through his own, letting your intertwined hands rest atop his chest in the same way Sebastian had so dearly missed. He pressed a lingering kiss to your temple, closing his eyes against the growing morning light, and he felt lighter than he ever had as you thoughtfully whispered, âWelcome home.âÂ

Imagine MC goes missing.
Sebastian hasn't heard anything from MC and has no idea where to even look. The only thing he knows to do is sit in the Undercroft with every free moment he has, to the point where people are hardly seeing him around the castle. All he can do is stare at the blank wall connected to Isidora's hideouts, hoping that MC will walk through there any minute and explain to him their crazy adventure...if they come back.

Mystery of Love - Ominis Gaunt
A/N: okay Ive never wrote a fanfic on tumblr before but I thought this would be the perfect place for this sweet boy𼚠I literally was driving home from work this morning and this song came on and I was like hmmm yeh that could be cuteđŤŁđŤŁ itâs been a couple of months since Iâve written anything so hopefully itâs not too bad :)
Kinda angsty fluff idk đ¤ˇââď¸
âOh to see without my eyes, the first time that you kissed me.â
Ominis had always tried to ignore those gentle touches and soft conversations, but now with you so close hands grazing his, he was finding it harder than ever; before he could almost forget how overwhelmingly dulcet your voice sounded or how intoxicating your sweet perfume was. He leaned forward into your touch, causing your breath to hitch uncharacteristically. Ominis shook the feeling off as he stepped backward, he fumbled over his words the pressure of your gaze making him dizzy.
âIâm sorry.â It was all the boy could manage as his misery set in. Of course you didnât return his feelings. How could you? He was the broken blind boy with only one friend. Ominis now thought that perhaps Sebastian was the reason you had grown so close to him over the months, he was everything ominis wasnât. He stiffened in jealousy as your steps came closer.
âWhatever for ominis?â He nearly melted right there, he could fall into your arms now and forget you didnât love him as he loved you when you said his name so passionately. He shook his head again as you reached out to grasp his arm to prevent him running like a niffler that had just seen gold. âFor making you uncomfortable.â He pushed his chin to his chest in embarrassment while you giggled. Of course you thought this was funny, he felt bile burn the back of his throat as tears tickled his sightless eyes.
âOminis, you donât make uncomfortable.â There was that giggle again. âInfact, I quite like holding your hands.â You fingers grazed his chin lifting his head; there was that gaze you held burning his cheeks as he sucked in a laboured breath. âYou..do?â His voice came out as a whisper while his face leaned into your palm that had moved to cup his cheek.
A few silent seconds go by before you work the courage to speak what is truly wanted. âPlease kiss me ominis.â You had said it in such a desperate fever that ominis couldnât possibly think twice before pulling you close and crashing his lips against yours. He was hungry as your mouths moved against each other. All jealousy and pain that had built up in ominis suddenly disappeared and it was as if he was complete. Your kiss, your warm touch making him whole. For the first time he felt he didnât care if he didnât have his sight. He had you. Ominis was seeing everything he needed to in your touch.
âI love You.â
âI love you too, ominis.â

Ominis *talking about MC*: I'm not usually interested in anyone, but now that I am, it's like the universe is telling me: "nah bitch, you can't have them".

Angsty Seb Headcannons - Part 1
Author's Notes: hi loves :) after writing so many soft!seb hc i decided to jot down all of the angsty ones i've had floating around
Warnings: so much angst, Solomon being an ass
feels the need to help protect Feldcroft (especially after Anne was cursed). the older men of Feldcroft tell him heâs too young to take a shift patrolling like the rest of them, so he spends much of his time in the watchtower next to Solomonâs cottage
basically lives in the shed next to the cottage. he learned early on that Solomon hated seeing him poring over his parentsâ research, so he conjured a bookshelf in the shed and stored all of their books there
the watchtower he stations himself at stands directly between Rookwood castle and Solomonâs cottage. he tells himself that he chose it because itâs closest to âhisâ shed, but subconsciously heâs putting himself directly between Anne and the place where she was cursed (he wants to put himself between Anne and her tormentor the way he thinks he failed to do the night she was cursed)
(regarding the pillow & blankets and letters & postcards strewn on the floor) when Sebastian does manage to sleep he gathers his favorite letters and postcards his parents sent him while traveling for work: a photograph of the pyramids with âall our love to you and Anne. be home soon. next time weâll take you with usâ scrawled on the back. he reads the line over and over wondering if, in another timeline, heâs there with them, falling asleep beneath the desert stars with a healthy Anne
(regarding the bottles strewn about the shed and Sebastianâs watchtower) he decides to stock up on cheap sodas and pumpkin juice, hoping that the sugar rush will help him stay awake longer to research a cure for Anne. he prefers tea while at Hogwarts, but during summer/holiday breaks heâd rather rely on sugar than risk Solomonâs wrath by making tea at all hours
Solomon was definitely jealous of Sebastianâs father. he was forced to end his auror career early, but his brother (an academic) had a career that continued to thrive. his brother had the perfect life: married his best friend, had a thriving career, a beautiful estate, and not one, but two happy, healthy children. Solomon had no family of his own, his career was over, and he had confined himself to a tiny cottage in a farming village
when Solomon takes in the twins he projects all his jealousy and anger onto Sebastian. he looks uncannily like his brother did when he was young, and every time he looks at him Solomon is reminded of everything he wished he had, but never got. heâs softer towards Anne because she looks and acts more like her mother, who Solomon always believed was too good for his brother
Sebastianâs parents are published authors, possibly experts in their field, so naturally theyâve published a few books of their own. sometimes Sebastian sneaks into the library in the middle of the night seeking out everything theyâve written. he gathers them up, curls into an armchair, surrounds himself with their words to feel just a little bit closer to them

Two drawings i made different days, different concepts but somehow got intertwined.
Hanging at Hogwarts hallways (1890), based on videos of Sebastian eating apples and Ominis reading (Braille invented in 1824, and even if it's a muggle method, i like to think he doesn't care)
Ominis in 1899, nine years after his bestfriend/bro/pal/boyfriend/"history hates lovers" person was taken away to a reformatory or Azkaban. Only his memory stayed.
Like always, Ominis has a green strap for his wand (almost impossible to use Expelliarmus against him)
Why 1899? Because my main Era in the Wizarding World is the Summer of 1899 and you guys should know i have my parallels between Gaullow and Grindeldore.

Dear Anne and Ominis,
I'm sorry that I did this. The blood is on my hands. I should have never ever killed that man. I stare at my reflection, and I don't know who I am. Iâm to practice my confession, in case I take the stand. I'll say I learned my lesson and I'll be a better man, but I know thatâll never happen because you turned me in. Now Iâm on the run and I'm packing up my things and I'm wiping down the walls. I'm rinsing off my clothes and I'm walking through the halls Ominis please believe me when I say that I did it all for her. So, I felt nothing at all. I don't know what she'll say...So, I'll ask her when she owls. Anne, would you love me more if I killed someone for you? Would you hold my hand? They're the same ones that I used when I killed someone for you... Would you turn me in when they say I'm on the loose? Would you hide me when my face is on the news? Cause I killed someone for you. I hear the sirens coming and I see the flashing lights.
Love,
Sebastian

Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy! I LOVE getting requests. Theyâre always welcome and I enjoy this challenge. This one was outside my comfort zone, an angsty fic featuring Sebastian! I think it turned out well.
Iâll Never Stop Fighting For You
Sheâd made a mistake. That was clear now. But it was too late.
âWhat do you intend to do with it?â She was back under the school, looking at professor fig. Sweet professor fig, the man whoâd mentored her, taken her under his wing.
âNo one needs this much power. If I leave it here, how long will it be before another genocidal maniac tries to take it?â
His face fell as he absorbed the meaning of her words. âYou canât.â
âI have to!â She screamed at him. âNever again! This ends now!â The memory became flooded with red. She saw Figâs face twist up in horror.
âNO!â She bolted upright in the bed, her whole body shaking and sweating.
âCHRIS! Whatâs wrong?â Sebastian bolted up beside her. Sheâd given up sleeping in her dorm. Theyâd unofficially moved into the undercroft. Ominis understood that she couldnât sleep alone and gave them their space.
âIâm fine.â She gasped, her breathing labored.
âChris, itâs alright, Iâm here with you.â
âI SAID IâM FINE!â Sebastian saw her eyes flash red for a moment. It was happening too often.
âOk.â He said quietly.
âI need some air.â
âChris, itâs two AM, I donât think-â he stopped when he saw her hazy red glare. âBe careful.â
Christina changed out of her pajamas and grabbed her cloak and her wand. She stomped out of the undercroft and began heading for the nearest exit.
âChris, youâve gotta stop doing this. I canât overlook it anymore.â She heard Leanderâs voice behind her.
âJust let me go, Prewett.â
âChris, they know Iâm letting you get away with things and theyâre going to take my prefects badge.â
âReally, Prewett? Really? Iâm SO SORRY youâll lose your stupid nark badge! It really is the most important thing isnât it? Nothing else matters but your fucking badge!â She didnât care that it was 2 AM as she shouted at him in the hallway.
âIâm worried about you, Chris! You leave at all hours of the night and come back bloody and bruised! Yes, Iâm a prefect, but Iâm also your friend and I wonât let you go!â His heart ached seeing his friend suffer like this. Her eyes began glowing red.
She didnât even mean to do it. She barely twitched her finger. It didnât matter. Leander was knocked off his feet and slammed into the wall.
âPREWETT!â She rushed towards him. âOh my god! What did I do? Iâm so sorry! Iâm so fucking sorry!â
His head was bleeding, but he was conscious. And the terror in his eyes broke her heart.
âIâm so sorry. I canât do this anymore. I wonât.â She reached into her pocket and pulled out a vial of wiggenweld she always carried. She extended it to him gently. âPlease forgive me.â She sobbed and then took off at a run.
She didnât know where she was going to go, but she had to get away from here. She couldnât hurt anyone else. The fear in Leanderâs eyes would haunt her. Heâd tried to help her and she could have killed him. She ran until her lungs burned and then she ran some more.
She ended up in the middle of the forbidden forest. She thought about everything leading up to this point. Ranrok, the keepers, the trials, the death, the painâŚit flashed like a slideshow in her brain until everything was tinged with red.
And then she exploded.
She let out a primal scream as waves of ancient magic pulsed through her entire body. Trees were cracking, the ground shook, lightning struck. She blacked out and woke up in a pile of destruction. And then she burst into tears.
Christina hadnât come back last night. That wasnât unusual lately, but it didnât mean Sebastian liked it. He decided to go to gryffindor and see if anyone had seen her.
âSebastian!â He heard Prewett call out to him.
âNot now, Prewett!â He turned and his jaw dropped. âMerlinâs beard! What happened to you?!â Leanderâs head was bandaged and he still had dried blood caked on him.
âLast nightâŚChris was leaving. I tried to stop her and she got really angry with me. Her eyes turned red like they do sometimes and then sheâŚwell, she threw me into a wall.â
âHoly shit.â Christina loved Prewett (for reasons that were unclear to him) and would never hurt him.
âThen they looked normal again and she looked horrified. She gave me wiggenweld and ran off. I shouldnât have let her, I should have tried to stop her.â
âAnd get yourself killed? No.â He took a deep breath. âHas anyone seen her?â
âNo. And I didnât tell anyone what happened. I was going to get Garreth, Ominis, and you to help me look.â
âThank you. Iâm going to look outside the school, you guys look here. You know her spots.â
âWeâll find her, Sebastian.â Prewett said seriously, looking him in the eyes. Sebastian nodded in response and took off.
Once he got outside the school, there was a clear trail of destruction. Broken trees, cracked pavement, burn marks on the groundâŚthe damage grew as he entered the forest.
He followed the trail deeper into the forest until he saw her. She was on her hands and knees, sobbing.
âChris!â He shouted and ran towards her. She looked up in shock.
âWhat are you doing?! You canât be here!â
âI came to get you, itâs alright.â He reached for her and she shoved him back.
âNo, itâs not alright! Look at this! Look at what I did!â She screamed. âI nearly killed one of my best friends last night! I canât control this anymore, Sebastian! Itâs too dangerous! Go away before I hurt you too!â
âWe can get through this together, Chrissy. You didnât give up on me. Iâm not going to give up on you.â
âWhy wonât you just listen to me?! Go!â Her eyes were starting to glow.
âIâm not leaving without you.â He said firmly.
âYes. You. ARE!â Her eyes were glowing more intensely than heâd ever seen them. He rolled out of the way as a red blast burned past him.
âI donât want to fight you, Christina!â He rolled out of the way of another blast. âDepulso!â
The only thing it seemed to do was piss her off more. She screamed and he saw the clouds beginning to form. He cast protego just in time as lightning bolts struck the shield, which wavered from the attack. âDEPULSO!â If he could just hit her hard enough to knock sense into her without hurting her, theyâd be alright.
She screamed again and the ground beneath his feet began cracking. He sprinted out of the path as waves of red magic shined through the cracks. He watched in horror (and amazement) as Chris picked up a fallen tree with her magic and launched it at him. It was too big to dodge entirely and the branches tore through his skin. He hissed in pain but knew it was just a surface wound.
âChristina, please! I love you and I know you donât want to do this!â He depulsoâd a rock sheâd flung at him. âRemember the good things, Chris! Snuggling in the undercroft, drinking butterbeers with Ominis, doing whatever the hell you do with Prewett!â
She didnât seem to even be breaking a sweat as she summoned a barrage of lightning bolts to strike him. His protego was barely strong enough to deflect the lighting.
He had no choice. He had to stop her. âBOMBARDA MAXIMA!â The powerful explosion shot out of his wand. Sheâd been about to launch another boulder at him and didnât have time to deflect it.
It struck her square in the chest.
âCHRISTINA!â He screamed and ran towards her. He saw her crumpled form on the forest floor, surrounded by smoking embers. She wasnât moving.
âOh god, Chris, Iâm so sorry, Iâm so fucking sorry, please donât leave me like this!â He was sobbing as he cradled her in his arms. âI canât live without you!â
Her eyes fluttered open, a light blue with no trace of red magic whatsoever. She let out a soft cry of pain and he helped her sit up. Things were still coming into focus and she could see a blurry figure with her.
âChrissy? Chrissy, can you hear me?â It sounded like Sebastian. She closed her eyes, feeling nauseated from the double vision. When she opened them again, Sebastian was sitting in front of her.
âSEBASTIAN!â She launched herself at him and wrapped her arms around him. âOh my god, please tell me you arenât hurt, your arms are bloody! Oh god Iâm so sorry!â Tears were falling down her cheeks as she realized what sheâd done. âAre you ok? Please tell me youâre ok!â
âI should be the one asking you that!â He brushed a spot of dirt off her cheek with his thumb.
âWhy didnât you go?! I couldâve killed you!â
âBecause I needed to fight for you, Chris. Iâll never stop fighting for you. You needed me. And I need you.â
âNo, if you stay youâll only get hurt! Iâd die if I hurt you, Sebastian. Please, please, just-â her words were silenced as Sebastianâs lips crashed into hers. She collapsed into sobs and he held her against him, stroking her hair.
âYouâre worth fighting for. You didnât give up on me when I was going down the wrong path. And I wonât give up on you. Weâll fix this. I promise. I love you too much to leave you.â They stayed there for a while, wrapped in each otherâs arms surrounded by the destruction sheâd caused. Eventually they went back to the castle and Christina fell asleep in his arms.
-some time later-
They stood in an open field in the highlands, the wind whipping through their hair.
âAre you ready?â Sebastian asked her, tucking her hair behind her ear.
âAs much as I ever will be.â
âIâll be here if you need me.â He kissed her tenderly and stepped back.
Christina closed her eyes and breathed deeply. She could do this. She knew how. She put her wand by her face and focused.
Sheâd caused so much pain. Taken so many lives. She thought of everyone that had been lost because of Ranrokâs reign and the ancient magic. Her mind was filled with a montage of memories of the ancient magic, none of them good. It had done nothing but cause pain. That ended now.
Sebastian watched the swirling ball of ancient magic growing larger. He could tell it was causing her pain, but sheâd given him strict instructions to stay back.
With a primal scream, she pointed her wand straight in the air. The magic swirled in a tornado as she forced it up and away. With one last thrust of her wand, there was an explosion of red, and Sebastian shielded himself. Then there was silence.
âChrissy?â She was on her hands and knees on the ground. âChrissy!â He ran to her, cradling her in his arms.
âItâs gone.â She was shaking and in pain. âAll of it. Even my own. Good riddance.â
âHere, love, drink this.â He gave her a vial of wiggenweld and she downed it. Some of the color returned to her face. âIâve got you.â He held her tightly, feeling a tear run down his cheek. âIt was a burden you never should have had to bear.â
She finally let herself grieve. She knew professor fig would be proud of her. She missed him so damn much. But sitting in the field with the boy she loved, she felt for the first time like things would be ok.
