I’m back from the dead! I’m replaying hogwarts legacy for like the fifth time now, and I wanted to write something!! Obviously there will be spoilers so beware my dear children.
I want to write about the scene where Sebastian gets pissed because we are helped by Lodgok (a goblin), I don’t want to concentrate to what happens in the scene,instead I will write about what happens next,MC’s feelings etc… I want to rewrite this because I wasn’t really pleased with Sebastian apology, So I’ll make him work for it this time.
Edit while I’m writing: Well it definitely developed into something completely different from what I’ve had imagine,really funny. At this point I’m not even sure if it’s a rewrite or something completely new. At this point imagine it like it is a different AU where things take place over a long period of time. Sorry for any possible mistake but like I finished writing this at 4:13 AM
As always, I’m sorry about any mistakes or if the writing it’s not that great,but as I said before, English is not my first language because *drum rolls* I’m Italian!
Next time I want to rewrite the scriptorium scene (especially the crucio one),I’ll keep you posted I guess :).
I’ll stop talking,hope that you will enjoy what I wrote.
“Why would I listen to someone so ignorant?” Sebastian’s harsh words kept echoing in her ears.
How could he talk to her like this? She thought, furious and full of disappointment toward her so-called best friend, with a hint of embarrassment too, because she cried in front of him,thus showing her vulnerable side.
“Hey are you ok?” A familiar voice snapped her out of her stream of consciousness.
It was Poppy with their other friends: Natty and Imelda
“Hey girls, I’m incredibly fine, why do you ask? ” the overdoing on the word “incredibly”, made it pretty clear that she was not, in fact, fine.
“Are you sure? You seem upset…” Poppy tried to tiptoe around her words “I don’t want to assume anything but the others and me were wondering if…”
“Poppy,get to the point.” she said firmly
“Well, we wondered if you and Sebastian got into a fight.” Poppy said embarrassed “And I must say that I noticed that you and him are not really on speaking terms right now”
MC’s cheeks flushed red, she didn’t know it was so obvious.
“Is it true?” Poppy Pressed her,making an unhappy expression that made her look like if her parents were divorcing.
“Well…” she looked away “We did.” She said in a soft voice
“What?!” Poppy shout loudly “I’m so sorry!”
“Shhh! I don’t want to let all Hogwarts know!” MC exclamed
“So you and your boyfriend got into an argument?” Imelda teased her
“he’s not my boyfriend” she clenched her teeth
“Yeah sure he’s not!” Imelda said with a smug face “Jokes aside: What happened? do you need me to kill him? You know I can hex him!”
“I don’t think it’s a good idea” Natty answered
“You’re no fun” Imelda snorted
“Don’t worry guys” MC fidget with her fingers “I can handle it”
“You know you can trust us right?” Poppy asked gently
“I know girls, but right now I don’t want to talk about it.” She tried not to cry
“Oh I’m gonna kill him for sure” Imelda restated making MC laugh “Don’t worry MC I’ll give him the stink eye for you”
“I hope you two will figure this out” Poppy affirmed “It would be a shame because you have great chemistry”
“I’m sure they will made up,” Natty consoled her friend “we will give you some space,also because we are going to have lesson shortly. Chop-chop you guys” Natty pushed all the girls towards the exit.
“Make him Jealous, he will fall to your knees” Imelda stopped for a second and murmured this to MC, but Natty grabbed her again and shoved her through the door.
MC sighed, she did have to go to her potion class,but she really didn’t want to attend because of course, as fate would have it, she shared the lesson with Sebastian.
But even though she was peeved,she still needed to show up for class.
She took a deep breath, and then she went to class.
“I feel like an asshole…no that’s not right, I’m an asshole” Sebastian thought to himself. He wanted to make it up to her but everything he thought was not good enough.
He was too impulsive, and now he’s suffering the consequences.
He wanted to talk to her during potion’s class,but it’s a bit difficult with Sharp in charge.
He went through the door and then he immediately saw her,she was already sitting.
“I can’t see you but you probably look so dumb right now” Ominis chimed in “You know you were an asshole,right? I don’t even know why you fought but I’m pretty sure that it’s your fault”
“Ouch” he thought, he already knew that it was his fault but it still hurts.
“Please give me a break” Sebastian begged his friend
“You need to be responsible of your own actions,so no, I won’t give you a break”
“Hold on how can you be so sure that it’s my fault?” Sebastian tried to defend himself.
“Because lately you’ve been a real pain in the ass” Ominis answered quickly pulling no punches. “And, honestly if you make MC angry,considering her patience,then you’re clearly wrong”
“You’re not wrong” Sebastian said ashamed
“See? You’re taking accountability,that’s the first step to not being a cretin. Keep up.” He said sarcastically
“Ok everybody let’s take a seat” Sharp ordered,and everybody obeyed “Today I want you to work as a pair,I’ll leave you two minutes to decide then we start,got it?”
Everybody agreed with a nod.
“Perfect I’ll ask her to be my partner” Sebastian meditated
“Ominis I need to ask her to work with me,Is it fine to you?”
“It depends if it’s fine to her” he pointed out
“MC would you like to-“ Sebastian beckoned to her but MC ignored him completely,instead she went to Garreth.
“Garreth, would you like to work together?” She asked
“Yes, I would” he bowed “We are partners in crime after all” he nudged her a little bit.
“Yes but I’ll lead” MC said smugly
“Fine by me, I love when women take control” Garreth winked
“What a perfect match” Sharp commented “at least we won’t have any explosion today”
Sebastian felt a tear in his heart, thinking that he definitely messed up.
“Perfect match, as if” he mumbled “Mc and I are the real partners in crime”
“Good job lady-killer” Ominis patted his shoulder “let’s get to work together,shall we?”
“Great job everybody” Sharp said pleasantly surprised. “Especially you two” He points to MC and Garreth “I should pair you more often,MC is a good influence to you.“
MC and Garreth high-fived each other and agreed to study together later. Soon the room filled with whispers as people started gossiping about their relationship.
Sebastian wasn’t pleased about it at all, in fact, he was pissed and felt jealous about their sudden closeness, he knew that they were acquaintances but he never thought that they would be so intimate.
“Earth to Sebastian,are you ok?” Ominis asked
“No,I’m not” Sebastian said “Why is she talking to him”
“Because they are friends?” Ominis said inquiringly
“They are all over each other”
“So you are jealous” Ominis laughed
“Liar,Liar pants on fire!” Ominis chanted
“Just shut up already” he pouted
“Since you’re starting to look pathetic, I’ll try to talk to her for you.”
“Yes, so you’ll stop bugging me”
MC ignored Sebastian all day, even though it was a punishment for him, she also penalised herself. But that’s what he gets for acting cruel towards her.
Since she finished all her lessons she could relax a bit in the lounge outside Charms Classroom with her friends,then after that she needed to study with Garreth in the library.
“A little birdie told me that you gave Sebastian the cold shoulder all day” Imelda affirmed “and that suddenly Garreth asked you out. You’re really popular with guys.”
“He didn’t ask me out” she corrected her friend “We are only studying together”
“Obviously” She rolled her eyes “Everybody gossiped about it all day”
“I’m getting used to it” MC said desperately “You should know better to not listen to gossips”
“But do you want to know what they said?” Imelda asked proud of herself
“They said that you broke up with Sebastian and that you are dating Garreth to make him jealous. They also said that Sebastian was basically jealous the whole time” she laughed “You followed my advise”
“That’s completely wrong” MC groaned “Me and Sebastian are not an Item nor me and Garreth. I hate all of this” she pinched her nose
“Well look at the bright side” Imelda said “Sebastian is jealous.”
“It’s just a rumor,it doesn’t mean that it’s true, and unless they are legilimens, and I really doubt about this, no-one knows what Sebastian was thinking in that moment”
Suddenly Poppy,Natty and Imelda were all amused,they were trying to hold their laugh.
“What now?” She said exhausted
“Well,” Natty began, “you never said you didn’t want Sebastian to feel jealous. Therefore you do fancy him”
“Aw you’re so cute when you’re flustered”
MC moved closer to her friends “Ok i like him,just shut up already,I don’t want it to be everybody’s business” she said lowering her voice for the embarrassment
“Well Natty you owe us a butter beer” Imelda said happily
“Hey MC” Ominis greeted her friend “Can I talk to you?”
“Oh yes sure” she said adjusting her collar.
Unfortunately behind him,there he was: Sebastian. He was speechless,which was weird because every time he had something to say “What is he doing here?”
“Don’t worry he’ll behave.” He assured her
“I’m not sure if I will behave” MC responded. At this point everybody left besides the three of them.
“I need you to stop being mad at each other” Ominis said calmly “Sebastian is stupid,and we both know that,but please speak to him”
Sebastian looked her in the eyes with a sheepish smile.
She returned the gaze by looking him from head to toe,then she responded coldly “Why would he listen to someone so ignorant like me?” She mocked his exact words
“Ok, I tried.” Ominis raised his hands in a sense of defeat “it’s your problem now” he said to Sebastian
“Don’t even bother” MC said “I’m leaving”
“MC wait” Sebastian grabbed her arm,but she freed from his grip.
“I’m going to study with my friend because I’m so ignorant” she emphasised the last words,and then she left. Her words felt like knives that were stabbing him repeatedly.
“If I can say it. You really messed up” Ominis commented
MC and Garreth stayed studying until Scribner basically threw them out,they promised each other that they would study together again.
While MC was heading towards her common room,she received suddenly an owl from Natty,saying that she was in the clock tower entrance,the arena for crossed wands. And she needed to practice a new duelling technique.
She could really use a duel to relieve tension.
“Natty I’m here” she called her friend’s name “Natty? Are you here?”
“MC?” Another voice responded
“Sebastian? What is going on?”
The doors closed unexpectedly,blocking them inside.
“I should have imagined it” MC scoffed “Was it your idea?”
“I can assure you that it was not my idea” Sebastian said “although I’m happy that we are here together,so we can talk”
“Look MC I’m incredibly sorry for what I’ve said, I was frustrated but it’s not an excuse from what I said. I hurt you and I’m really sorry” Sebastian didn’t even bother looking in her eyes because he felt ashamed
“Thank you for your apology.” MC said calmly “Although I don’t know if I can forgive you. You hurt me while I was just trying to help you. I know what happened to your sister scarred you but you can’t treat people like they don’t matter”
“You’re completely right, and I’m really sorry,I mean it. Sometimes I can be so stupid, I know. But I really care about you.”
Sebastian moved closer to MC “And this is why today I felt so devastated. You ignoring me and talking to Garreth made me lose my temper” As Sebastian said this,MC blushed.
“Well, I felt like you were replacing me” he admitted reluctantly “Seeing you all happy with Garreth made me angry also because…” he took her hands to his face “We are partners in crime, we make a great duo, you can say that I felt jealous”
“Yes, i know it’s not healthy” he sighed “but at some point I was thinking about duelling Garreth”
“What?” She laughed “Me and Garreth are not the same as you and me, you know that?”
“What are we then?” Sebastian asked
“Well it’s difficult” she said “But I won’t replace you. Our relationship is different.”
“MC, I don’t really now how to make it up to you, whatever you say I’ll do.” he looked into her eyes with his puppy eyes,and she melt.
“Promise that even if we fight again,you will still care about me” she said “And try to be less cruel next time”
“I will” he stroked her hair gently “You know… while I was frustrated that you didn’t talk to me, I thought you were really cute when you were mad” he admired her beautiful eyes.
“You know what everybody says about us?” MC asked embarrassed
“Well I’ve heard.” Sebastian smiled softly “Maybe we are more than friends” he said boldly “Or at least to me you’re more than a friend, I don’t want to force you into doing anything that you don’t want to”
“Seb…” she said softly, caressing his face “I deeply care about you,romantically, but I don’t want to ruin our friendship”
“You can’t ruin what doesn’t exist.” He hugged her tightly “We were never just friends”
“Oh ok that was bold!” She exclaimed,covering her face “Now what are we gonna do? Kiss?” She said innocently like the word “kiss” was a bad word.
“If you want to, I will gladly do that” he smirked.
“You may kiss me,Sallow” she said jokingly.
He pulled her into a kiss that was both gentle and passionate. Sebastian had wanted to kiss her from the very first moment he laid eyes on her—when she had defeated him in their duel. It was everything he had imagined, and somehow even better.
The doors opened,behind there were their friends,who were happy about the outcome.
“It’s time to go” MC said “We’ll see each other tomorrow” she said especially looking at Sebastian
Sebastian kissed her hand gently “good night my love, I love you”
“I love you too” MC replied
“Ugh Barf” Imelda said “Let’s go to bed”
They all laughed, and the unforgettable evening slowly came to an end.
