Phase Three: eight *

As Y/n spoke, Sebastian picked on a few lilies and sunflowers over the homes as Y/n distracted herself stargazing at the sky. She blamed Amit Thakkar for the interest in the sky now. The astronomy tables really affected the interest.

Sebastian walked back, a small bouquet of half-alive and half-dead flowers in between his fingers while he cleared his throat and nervously called Y/n.

"Y/n?"

Y/n stayed staring at the night sky for a few more seconds before bringing her gaze back to Sebastian, "I'm sorry, I—" her view went down to the flowers in hand and her lips parted.

Sebastian smiled at her reaction, "I know my romance skills have been unfortunate lately, but I'll make it up to you. For now, Happy Birthday," he extended. "Nineteen never looked better on you, darling."

Y/n's breath was heavy, in a positive way and her fingers trembled a little from the squealing she held within herself as she took hold of the flowers.

"Sebastian, don't say that. I—thank you. I really apprec—"

"Let's go to the ball, Y/n," Sebastian blurted out breathlessly, unable to hold it in any longer, "Go to the Masquerade Ball with me, again." He let out, not even in question.

Y/n stood quiet for a moment.

It was difficult for both. The turn of events from the ball haunted their own heads at the same time, but they knew they needed to overcome it once and for all one day. This was the final opportunity.

"We don't have if you—"

"I want to." Sebastian gulped, "I—it wasn't the ball's fault. I can only say that doing this again can fix up the missing gap. We can make up for it. I have hope on it." He breathed, "I will have you by my side. We will have each other."

Y/n Y/l/n stared at Sebastian Sallow in front of her. Both of their lips are shaky as they thought about any possible outcomes of the upcoming event.

Y/n smiled, finally jumping on Sebastian Sallow and agreeing happily, "Of course, I'll go to the Masquerade Ball with you."

Sebastian grew his smile back, closing his eyes and holding her tightly, seeing her legs dangle from the excitement.

"Amazing. I can't wait to see you in a lovely dress once again." He whispered.

April

As Y/n Y/l/n continued to follow the Ministry's orders, Sebastian Sallow finally found time to make up for her absence. After being accepted as co-captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team in his last year at Hogwarts, he spent his time there.

Y/n watched as Sebastian Sallow entered the Great Hall the day before the Masquerade Ball. The day of the last Quidditch game.

Y/n watched from afar, admiring how the familiar green knitted sweater sat nicely over Sebastian's body as he walked through the Great Hall. How his muscles peaked more each year as his arms moved from the walk. It was just a breathtaking view.

Y/'s Perspective

"Y/n?"

I came to reality at the sound of Poppy Sweeting's voice from my side.

I decided to join Poppy at the Hufflepuff table this morning. Apparently, Garreth Wesley and her had gotten into a rare discussion, sitting separately in the meantime.
