( flashback ! )
❛❛Are you alright ?❜❜ asked the taller girl who seemed to be a Slytherin because of Slytherin logo she had on the right side of her black robe.
❛❛Are you deaf?❜❜ a tall man who stood beside the girl asked in annoyance due to Sebastian not responding her.
Sebastian seemed to still haven't fully process everything. he swore he felt like he'd lose his life in a flash of light when a bunch of merpeople started to pull him down the lake.
You can't really blame him for falling for the mermaid's illusions, he thought for Merlin's sake that mermaids creating illusions to lure humans and pretty much drag them to the bottom of the lake as then magic takes place was all just a myth.
A make believe thing to scare people away. Well at least now he knows it isn't
Besides he wouldn't have been there if his goody old friends hadn't did this overboard silly prank while he was asleep; they left him on a boat and let him sail further from the shore.
The Slytherin girl elbowed the standing tall guy who Sebastian also assume to be a Slytherin; same reason ❛❛What? I was just asking!❜❜
Sebastian couldn't really see them with his sight unclear, he assumes that his square glasses that had its sides soften up with round frames, fell down the lake.
He squinted his eyes at the two students ❛❛Sorry, I can't quite see you two❜❜
The tall thin guy raised a curious brow ❛❛Why is that exactly?❜❜
He looked back to the lake with nervous yet calm look then turned his gaze back to them ❛❛My glasses may have perhaps drowned in the lake❜❜ he answered
❛❛Oh..❜❜
Sebastian raised a brow after squinting his eyes for minute of trying to get a clearer view ❛❛Do I know you guys?❜❜
The girl chuckled in a low voice ❛❛I'm not quite sure❜❜ she shrugged her shoulders
❛❛Belle, we're gonna be late for our potions!❜❜ the guy exclaimed after having a quick glance at his wrist watch.
Good for Sebastian, he and some of his batchmates would be practically free for professor Brisbin had lost one of her newest found creature and is in need of finding it before it could possibly hurt a student which might lead her into ending her somewhat research of such magical creatures and plants.
Alternating her gaze to her own wrist watch, her eyes widened ❛❛Holy shit—❜❜ she quickly stood up from the ground and gathered her things ❛❛We'll get going now❜❜ flashing a quick smile she pointed her wand to lake and muttered a spell which then resulted to a familiar pair of glasses to be seen in her hand.
the Slytherin girl shot the guy a glare when he quickly stole the pair of glasses in her hand ❛❛See you later❜❜ the man smiled, handing the said thing to Sebastian.
Taking it, Sebastian grabbed the hem of his uniform and wiped his glasses before putting them on. Having a better view, a smile crept on his face ❛❛Thank—❜❜ his smile sort of faded away when he looked up seeing both of the Slytherin sprinting away from the place, afraid to be late and nagg
ed at ❛❛—you..❜❜
Sighing, Sebastian chuckled and shrugged his head as he then composed himself up. Maybe he can thank them properly later.

Taking a hold of her son's body, she started shrugging it as it seem to not hear her cry for him to wake up ❛❛Sebastian!❜❜ Amellea cried out again, but only received a snore from the boy as he turned to face the other direction ❛❛For the love of Merlin, wake up!❜❜
Amellea isn't really much of a morning person just like her children but for the sake of them not getting late again, she has to wake up quite earlier than the usual which is eight O'Clock to help the kids and now that Evie has come to join Sebastian for their trip to Hogwarts, Amellea practically has to double things up like the breakfast preparations and checking their stuff if it was already there and ready. Usually it's Jonathan who wakes the kids up but seems like he had forgotten what his wife had told him to do before leaving for work.
Also another note, Amellea isn't as patient as Jonathan is.
Having enough of it, Amellea took a deep breath before gathering all the courage she has and took the cold glass of water placed on top of Sebastian's bedside table
❛❛I'm more than sure that you'll wake up with is❜❜ after those words, Amellea poured the cold water right down to Sebastian's nape.
And it didn't really take long for Sebastian to respond to it ❛❛cOOOLLD!❜❜ he yelped loudly causing the person in the next room, who is evie, to jump from her place in surprise. Sebastian quickly pushed the covers away and jumped out from bed as he started to pat his nape trying to brush off the coldness away ❛❛MOM!❜❜ the woman only gave the young man a knowing look ❛❛You could've just woken me up❜❜ he protested with a stump of his feet.
❛❛And it's almost 10❜❜ Amellea retorted to her son who had his eyes a bit widen, she rolled her eyes playfully with a chuckle before throwing the towel to her son ❛❛Go take a bath, we wouldn't want to make your friend wait❜❜
And with that Sebastian's mini anger went away, well sort of— he's still annoyed by the fact by he was woken up by cold water being poured at him. Sebastian smiled and nodded his head in approval.
❛❛Breakfast is already served, so fasten your pace, alright?❜❜ the young boy only nodded his head as a response to his mother's words.
Sebastian swore he heard his mom snickered when she left his room.
He playfully rolled his eyes and proceeded to the bathroom to take a quick shower and after some time, Sebastian came out of bathroom as he then started to rummage his closet trying to find decent clothes to wear for his trip to Hogwarts. Considering the warm weather, Sebastian decided to put on his grey sweater over his white plain shirt, with his light blue jeans and to finally finish it, he wore a pair of white shoes.
[ a/n : i know, i suck at clothes :'< ]
Sebastian smiled in satisfaction as he looked into the mirror ❛❛Looking good, handsome❜❜ he told himself, posing as he ran hand through his ginger locks with a smoldering look
Amellea who's at the kitchen downstairs decided to call for her son again since seems like he's taking his time in his room ❛❛Sebastian!❜❜
The sudden call made the young man flinch at his mother's voice.
Sparing one last glance, Sebastian picked up his trunk and other belongings ❛❛Coming!❜❜ he responded with some of his bags flying after him as he ran down the stairs.
❛❛I see you're ready❜❜ Amellea grinned, eyeing the bags and trunk that was nicely placed by the grey sofa.
Sebastian nodded his head ❛❛I should be.❜❜ grinning he took on of the seats by the kitchen stool, drilling over the food that his mom has passed him ; the good old fashioned pancakes with maple syrup, his favorite. ❛❛I see evie has already ate— well, you guys already did❜❜
❛❛Obviously❜❜ she giggled, as she placed the already washed dishes in the rack and walked to Sebastian bags ❛❛Make sure to call your sister down after you eat okay? Help her with her stuff to the car, we'll leave in fifteen minutes❜❜
Sebastian only nodded his head at his mum's words, afraid to talk with his mouth full and spit some of the food out.
Amellea pointed her wand at the bags and luggage mumbling a certain spell that made the said things float and follow her to her black car where some of Evie's are already. Mean while, Sebastian didn't really took that long to finish his food which then made him proceed to Evie's room upstairs, just beside his.
❛❛Wingardium leviosa❜❜ Evie chanted with her wand pointed at the quill in front of her. A smile crept on her face in victory when the quill lifted up and follow the movements of her wand ❛❛Brilliant, now—❜❜
A slam on her room's door interrupted her that caught her in surprise, jumping a bit from her place. She groaned silently upon having her so-called wand practice interrupted
Huffing, Evie placed her palms down to her book ❛❛Does knocking even exist on you dictionary??❜❜ she questioned at her brother who stood there by her open door.
Sebastian held his hands up as if he was surrendering, shrugging his shoulders he chuckled ❛❛Should I be sorry?❜❜
❛❛You should really stop surprising people like that❜❜ she spoke, closing her charms and spells book along with her notebook ❛❛Karma might hit you up and it might be more surprising that you'd most likely have yourself embarrassed❜❜ glancing at him, she placed back her books to her school bag.
Facing her full body mirror, she examined her already dressed self. She was wearing light blue jeans, a white New York baseball jersey over a black sleeveless and a pair of white sneakers. Her black hair that reached just at her chest was pulled into into a not-so-clean bun with some strands of her hair hanging at the sides of her face. She smiled in satisfaction.
❛❛Pfft.. as if❜❜ he chuckled, walking inside and took the seat by her study desk.
Evie rolled her eyes as she carried her bag and placed it on top of her trunk which is also near to where her owl Kiya was inside her cage. She decided not to further argue with him concerning this matter as she was clearly not in the mood to argue with his problematic brother who seemed to be more problematic than any girl in their periods.
Speaking of problematic Sebastian...
❛❛What?❜❜ he asked, quite bothered by the look Evie is giving him.
❛❛You've been quiet lately❜❜ she spoke, earning the same questioning look from her brother ❛❛Is this something about that Belle girl that saved you?❜❜ she asked remembering him talking about that girl and another guy who saved him, from being pulled down to the black lake who he heard was called Belle.
He chuckled ❛❛Yes?❜❜ was he that obvious ❛❛I mean, I've been thinking, maybe Addison knows someone who's name is Belle?❜❜ he shrugged his shoulders ❛❛She's in Slytherin like that Belle g—❜❜
❛❛How are you even so sure that Addison and those people who saved you were Slytherins?❜❜ she raised a brow.
Sebastian opened his mouth but closed it again not really having anything to answer her question. Actually he does but it'll just make the whole conversation more messy.
Evie sighed and rolled her eyes as she then grabbed her instax camera and it's little brown shoulder bag from the shelves by her mirror.
❛❛Are you seriously gonna take that to Hogwarts?❜❜ he asked, eyeing the muggle device that a friend of Evie's gave her at her birthday.
Evie nodded her head with a smile as she examined the camera
❛❛You're well aware that Hogwarts doesn't really do plugs— electric plugs or something❜❜ he questioned again, spotting her muggle phone device poking out from on of her pocket jeans and the headphones hanged around her neck.
Evie had already planned to make a specific thing to help her charge her phone and headphones while they're there ❛❛Very.❜❜ she responded, placing her camera inside her school bag along with it's said small brown shoulder bag and slipping her bad to her shoulders ❛❛Besides, I'd like to take some pictures while I'm there❜❜
Sebastian nodded his head at her sister who stood by her window that's just beside her bookshelves, his lips curved up with him leaning against Evie's study table
❛❛But you better have some decent explanation about that muggle device— Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws are quite a curious cat at such times❜❜ he chuckled ❛❛You wouldn't want to embarrass yourself, right??❜❜
The shorter girl raised a brow ❛❛Is that your way of telling me that i'm either a Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw?❜�� Evie crossed her arms across her chest.
