Sebastian POV

It was Saturday, and professor Weasley had asked Sebastian to take Y/N to Hogsmeade to gather supplies. It was the perfect opportunity to create a bond with her, so naturally Sebastian asked his wingman to join him.

"I'm not your wingman," Ominis whined. "You have to do some things yourself, leave your most charming friend to do his own thing." Ominis had been sitting in the corner, muttering to his quill to finish off his potions essay. He handed it to Sebastian.

"Read this please."

Sebastian skimmed over it. "You may want to cross out the bit that says, 'ouch, fuck, that was my leg," he nodded thoughtfully, pushing the essay back into Ominis' hands.

Ominis shook his head. "Stupid cat," he growled, and the quill wrote it down.

"You may want to cross that out too."

Ominis' lips pressed into a thin, angry line. He felt around for his satchel, and then placed the essay inside.

"So are you coming to help?" Sebastian teased. "You're real good with them. We all know about you and Imelda Reyes."

Ominis' smile fell away, he dropped his satchel and his pale cheeks flushed a bright red. "How do you know about that?" His essay pages fell to the floor.

Sebastian smiled and shrugged but didn't say anything out loud for the boy. He reached out for the essay pages.

"Sebastian?"

"Let's just say, I know you. Now help me talk to Y/N. We could get a good thing going!"

"Alright I'll come."

"Good man."

———

Sebastian and Ominis met Y/N at the North exit of Hogwarts in the courtyard. She waited patiently, leaning on a statue watching Zenobia and another third year play gobstobes on the cobblestone below her. She smiled as she watched, tucking her h/c hair behind her ear. It sparkle in the sun. Shades of reds and golds appear.

"You're staring again," Ominis said.

"How do you know?" Sebastian spat. He smoothed his hair behind his ears and then ruffled it back up again. He smoothed out his robes, tightened his tie. Untied his tie. Untucked his shirt. Half tucked his shirt.

"You're not talking. And I can hear you fussing. Stop it." Ominis' wand lit up the corner of his eye and he walked in front of the boy to reach Y/N.

Sebastian nodded. "I'm good now. Y/N!" He called.

Y/N looked over and grinned. "Sebastian! ominis! Thank you for coming. Merlin knows I'd get lost if I went to Hogsmeade alone."

"Happy to help," Sebastian said quickly.

"Yes, it's a big place," Ominis shared some input. "We're happy to come. It's a bit of a walk."

"There's nice scenery along the way though, that we can show you," Sebastian assured her.

"Best if Sebastian alone shows you that," Ominis chuckled.

"I'll describe it to you too, Ominis," Sebastian said, looking at Y/N. "Usually I do, we'll all look at it together."

Sebastian found that a little cringy to say, but Y/N looked touched.

"I can't wait!" She smiled, following Sebastian and Ominis as they began walking to the exit of the castle.

"So we begin with the north exit of Hogwarts. As you can see it's basically a big grassy area," Sebastian said, almost sarcastically as he began his tour to Hogwarts. "You can also see over there the summoners court. People are obviously having competitions over there this morning. Ominis, there's a huge crowd of people. They're all looking at the one thing - and the grass is like -"
