After All This Time// Sebastian Sallow x Reader Hogwarts Legacy Fanfiction

Once we were inside the Ravenclaw Common room, Poppy left Sebastian and I to find Garreth. 

"Dance with me?" asked Sebastian. 

"Drink first," I told him, dragging him over to the drink table by his hand. At the table, I downed a few shots of fire whiskey and then poured myself a drink out of a mystery bottle on the table. 

"Put about a teaspoon of this in there," a random Ravenclaw interjected, holding a jar of mystery liquid. 

"What is that?" Sebastian asked him. 

"Don't worry about it," he laughed. "Nothing terrible, I promise."

Against my better judgement, I let the Ravenclaw boy put a little bit of the mystery potion into my drink. 

"Y/n, you don't even know what that is," Sebastian told me. "Please don't drink that."

The Ravenclaw disappeared into the crowd, and Sebastian tried to take the drink out of my hand. 

"Sebastian, just let me try it," I said. "As long as Garreth didn't brew it, I'm sure it will be fine." 

He rolled his eyes and let me down the drink. "I don't feel any different," I said when I was finished. "Do I look any different?"

"I don't think so," he said. He grabbed my hand again, and that's when I felt it. Looking at him now, my insides were set on fire, and all I could think about was Sebastian. 

"I think I figured it out," I told Sebastian. "Love potion."

"Love potion?" he scoffed. He started looking around the room for the Ravenclaw who'd given it to me with a look of death and anger behind his eyes. 

"No, no, not like that Sebastian," I giggled. "I didn't feel anything until you grabbed my hand."

I couldn't think straight when he locked eyes with me. He let out a sigh, but tensed up when I scooted my body close to his. I wasn't even thinking about my actions- my body was just doing whatever it wanted to at this point. I grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled his face close to mine. "Dance with me," I said. 

Before he could answer, I pulled him out onto the floor and wrapped my arms around his neck. I didn't let my eyes fall away from his for one second. There was something extra encapsulating about them. Every micro expression of his face was lighting up my insides in ways I'd never felt before. His scent was completely overtaking me, making me want to be as close to him as possible. 

He placed his hand on the small of my back, keeping me close to him. "I'm definitely not letting you out of my sight tonight," he sighed. 

"Well I hope you won't," I said. "I don't want to be anywhere else, Sebastian. Where else is it as great as this?" 

I felt euphoric in his arms as he held me. Every touch was sending me over the edge. "I want another drink," I told him. "Come with me."

We went back over to the drink table. "No more mystery potions," he told me. "Just regular drinks."

"Buzzkill," I said. "Good thing I love you, or I wouldn't put up with your antics half the time." 

After I said that, Sebastian downed a few shots and made another drink. By the time I was ready to head back out to the dance floor, he'd already finished that drink and was making another. 

"You're going to end up feeling very embarrassed in the morning, y/n," he laughed. 

"No way," I said. "I feel great." 

"I know," he sighed. 

We went back out to the dance floor, and I couldn't help but stand completely up against him with my arms wrapped around him as tightly as possible. Being here with him felt absolutely amazing. The music, the lights, and the way he looked at me and held me were all so perfect. 

"I love you so much," I whispered in his ear. I couldn't help it. I had to tell him. 

"Don't say that," he whispered back. His warm breath against my ear sent shivers down my spine. "Not unless you mean it." 

"But I do," I said. He just chuckled and wrapped his arms around me tighter. He leaned away from me for a second and downed the second half of his drink and set the cup off to the side. He put his hands on my cheeks, cupping my face in his palms. He placed a quick kiss on my lips and pulled away swiftly. 

That was way too quick. I wanted more. I pulled him in by his collar and smashed my lips against his desperately. I parted his lips with my tongue and brushed mine against his. He let out a soft groan in my mouth before suddenly pulling away again. 

"Why?" I asked him, feeling a little hurt. 

"You're just under a love potion right now, y/n," he said. "None of this is real right now."

"I would do any of these things without the help of a love potion, thank you," I said. 

"Do you want to put that to the test?" he joked. "Get you alone with me and see how hard it would be for you to resist." 

"I would do just fine," I scoffed. "Love potion or not, I find you incredibly sexy, so of course I want to kiss you and put my hands on you." 

"Whatever," he laughed, his face turning red.

"Not whatever," I said. "I'm up for your little game. Take me to the Undercroft, I'll show you how in control I am." 

"I feel like that would be taking advantage of you," he said, dismissing the idea. 

"No," I stated. "Like I said, I would do any of these things normally, without the help of a love potion."

"Fine," he grinned. "Let's test that theory. Come with me."
