❛❛I'll go fetch you some water, stay here, okay?❜❜ the lady told Evie softly who only flashed her a smile and nodded her head as a response.
❛❛Don't move too much❜❜ Sebastian smiled at his sister before following the lady behind.
Taking the vacant seat beside Evie, Addison tilted her head a bit to see a better view of her ❛❛How are you feeling now?❜❜ she asks with a concerned look.
Evie flashed a smile and replied ❛❛brilliant, thanks for the help earlier❜❜
Smiling back, Addison leaned back and slouched on her seat ❛❛It was the least I can do to help❜❜
❛❛Yeah, thanks❜❜ Sebastian spoke as he passed the glass of water to her sister and pulling a random chair from the corner ❛❛If you weren't there, my sister could've completely lost her breath❜❜ Sebastian had the slightest feeling of shame for himself for not just putting Evie at the side and beat up the guys.
Addison playfully shook her head and giggled, ❛❛I was a bit late though❜❜
❛❛Well yeah,❜❜ Evie joked which didn't really take long for them to respond and start laughing
After a moment Addison composed herself, unknowingly back to the kinda really intimidating look
❛❛I'm Addison by the way, Addison Dixon❜❜ she smiles as she extended her hand to Evie
❛❛Pretty name❜❜ Evie complimented with a smile, kicking off the fact that Addison quite scares her by her btchy face ❛❛I'm Jennieviev Mae Leighton❜❜ taking Addison's hands, she shakes it ❛❛, Evie, for short.❜❜
Clearing his throat, he successfully caught the girls' attention ❛❛And I'm Sebas—❜❜
❛❛Sebastian Leighton. I know❜❜ Addison interrupted with a grin and turn her gaze back to Evie who seemed interested by a certain thing ❛❛You guys have such royal names— should I bow down before you, your highnesses?❜❜ Addison winked
❛❛I really don't think that would be necessary.❜❜ Evie laughed
How could she know him? For what Sebastian remembers, he doesn't really socialize with the others other than the students who are part of the Gryffindor house— especially in his second year when the rumors of him being almost killed by one of the merpeople at the infamous black lake upon being mentally tricked by the merpeople. It was a great thing that a girl who seemed to be a Slytherin had come to be his savior for the day.
That girl.
❛❛You know me?❜❜ asked Sebastian, raising a brow at Addison.
Turning her gaze to Gryffindor boy, Addison nodded her head with a giggle ❛❛Yeah, of course, I do❜❜
❛❛Doesn't she go to Hogwarts too?❜❜ Evie asked, then playfully rolling her eyes ❛❛Isn't it suppose to be the reason why she knows you?❜❜
Sebastian gave his sister look and scoffed ❛❛Whatever floats your boat, you buzz kill smart ass❜❜
Evie does make sense but Sebastian just wants to know for himself if he had actually interacted with her, for what he knows she doesn't belong to the same Hogwarts house as she does. He doesn't quite catch ( friendly ) interaction with anyone who doesn't belong to Gryffindor except Bianca, one of his close friends who's a Ravenclaw. He doesn't remem
ber interacting with her— not even during classes or perhaps he just forgot.
Addison nodded her head with a grin ❛❛Besides,❜❜ Sebastian raised a curious brow when a playful smile appeared on Addison's face as she looked at him ❛❛Who wouldn't know the Gryffindor boy who sailed in the middle of the black lake and almost died. But thankfully his damsel in distress came to save his arse❜❜
Nope, definitely not her.
Groaning, Sebastian buried his face on his big hands ❛❛That happened like months ago!❜❜ he protested
Surprised, Evie spoke ❛❛Wait, so it wasn't just a made-up thing?❜❜
Addison nodded her head and the two girls burst into laughter
❛❛Was it really necessary for you remind me of it?❜❜ he scowled at the laughing girls ❛❛I was pranked and dragged there by Johnson triplets❜❜ he defended and frowned as he awkwardly scratched his nape ❛❛Besides, I was in deep sleep in the common room by the fireplace. The next thing I know, I was in the middle of the lake and was awoke by a beautiful sound of a singing lady❜❜
Addison and Evie looked at each other and laughed ❛❛Don't you mean the mermaid, sir Sebastian?❜❜ Evie teased with her infamous annoying teasing smile
He rolled his eyes and chuckled bitterly ❛❛Ha.❜❜ he shouldn't have asked, really.
The three were still at the same place, seated at a table at the side of the wand shop they're in. All of Evie's life, she was interacting with muggles who were mostly mean to her. Evie has a few friends in the muggle district she and her family reside at and had rarely interacted with any witch or wizard aside from her family and that one guy friend of Sebastian who visited their home not so long ago. She sure is missing a lot in the world she used to believe she wouldn't be part of as she believed to be just a muggle who was found and adopted by a magical couple in a not so known muggle district of London.
Addison is pretty much the first witch she somehow befriended. At least, she already has someone to hang out with at Hogwarts— possibly. I mean, it's not that bad to hope nor assume right?
❛❛How are you even sure it was them?❜❜ asked Addison, who was half-laughing
Sebastian rolled his eyes and turned his gaze at the brunette ❛❛They're the only ones I know who are brave enough to take their pranks further than what most people expect, that's so.❜❜ he answered.
❛❛Well, the Gryffindor common room is far from the black lake, so guess that does make sense❜❜ Addison grinned and laughed with Evie
Sebastian was amused by how fast Evie made friends to a witch like Addison who is quite an intimidating person.
Not like he was against it, but hope it wouldn't be much chaotic at school when Evie arrives.
He only shook his head playfully and chuckled at the girl's words.
❛❛Hey Uhm, Addison...❜❜ Addison turned to Evie and smiled with a curious brow raised ❛❛Is it okay if we go ride the Hogwarts express together, and you know, hang out?❜❜
❛❛I'd be delighted!❜❜ she exclaimed, accepting Evie's invitation then turning to Sebastian and flashing him her infamous wicked smile ❛❛I'll then tell you the tale of your dear beloved brother❜❜ she teased earning a giggle from the shorter girl
Groaning, Sebastian once again buried his face on his large hands.
That made him think, if his guess about Addison being a Slytherin then she must know someone in their house who's called, belle.
❛❛Addison, do you perhaps—❜❜
❛❛Oh, no!❜❜ Addison shrieked after having a short glance and reading the time at her wristwatch
Confused by the witch's interruption, he spoke in protest ❛❛But I haven't even finished my words just yet❜❜ hearing his sister chuckle a "so sad" he gave her a knowing look only to receive her usual goofy fangy smile.
Addison ignored his words as she quickly stood up and picked up her bag ❛❛I need to go❜❜ she spoke, a glint of panic evident on her face ❛❛It was nice stumbling upon you two❜❜ flashing them one last smile she quickly paced her way out of the room
❛❛Y-yeah, likewise❜❜ Evie responded with a smile
❛❛Let's meet at king cross between platforms nine and ten, 10:40 am❜❜ she beamed before completely leaving the shop.
Sebastian eyed her as she left as a heavy sigh left his mouth when Addison was completely out of his sight. Evie noticed her brother and her being a good sister she is, patted Sebastian's back which made him look at her and raise a brow
❛❛You'll meet her again,❜❜ she spoke with a teasing smile and stood up from her seat ❛❛By then, you'll ask her whatever question you actually wanted to ask her, so don't chu worry❜❜
Of course, they'll meet again. They did arrange to go and ride Hogwarts Express together tomorrow just a moment ago. At least it won't be just him who'll keep her in the company knowing Evie will be one of the hot topics around the campus for some huge time.
Sebastian chuckled bitterly and stood up from his seat ❛❛Come on, we were probably in here for like half an hour already❜❜ gathering his stuff from the table, he grinned down to her ❛❛Let's go?❜❜
Evie was puzzled, she tilted her head a bit to the side and grip her brother's arm ❛❛But we haven't even got my wand just yet❜❜ she exclaimed in sadness, really wanting to have a wand of her own at once just like her family and Addison and that one guy friend of Sebastian.
The young boy playfully rolled his eyes at his sister ❛❛I didn't say we'd be leaving already, now did I?❜❜ he raised a brow with a mocking smile.
❛❛Oh,❜❜ Evie smiled sheepishly as she then followed her brother from behind as they made their way towards the counter where some kids were getting their own wands through specific trials of knowing what wand suited them.
