Special Halloween AU 🎃 During the darkest times of his life, Sasuke was an evil wizard driven by revenge, but after a long time, he abandoned that and accepted the consequences of his actions. However, he was a very powerful wizard, too powerful to be ignored, and eventually, he became one of the shadowy directors of the infamous magic academy where he once studied. Not everyone trusted him; rumors still circulated through the castle's corridors, but he didn't care. His personal mission was to keep everyone within the castle's confines. And so far, everything has been going as planned. No evil force has dared to set foot inside the academy. And if they did, he wouldn't let it become enough of a problem for even one person to know what was going on.

But ever since the new teacher of magic against the dark arts, something didn't feel right. You were like any other teacher, skilled and intelligent, but you had that something he couldn't quite place, yet somehow he couldn't escape.

You, on the other hand, were a sorcerer, born with unique abilities, unlike any other wizard. A class that used to be common hundreds of years ago, but because of the danger this group posed to society, they slowly became extinct, though they could live for hundreds of years. But you were one of those who managed to escape, and lived for many years, long enough for you to learn to navigate modern wizarding society without any problems. You believed your disguise was perfect, with your past nearly erased by time, but you were beginning to doubt your facade when you realized someone was watching you—of course you did. The Uchiha seemed suspicious, but it was clear he had no proof, no real reason to randomly attack you. So he decided to do what he did best: observe from the shadows.

Tonight was Halloween night, a special event at the academy. The large dining room was cozy and noisy, with students and teachers chatting, dozens of sweets, desserts, and treats galore on every table, while ghosts flew overhead, making the candlelight flicker in the pumpkins' candles with little faces. You were at the teacher's table, chatting and acting perfectly normal, but you could almost feel Sasuke's gaze burning into your back. You knew he was trying to be discreet, but to you, it seemed painfully obvious. For a moment, you found yourself alone, just swaying your Butterbeer as you surveyed the room ahead, deep in thought, before a calm voice hummed beside you. It was Sasuke, sitting down next to you, his long black cloak cascading over the chair.

"Enjoying your night?" The two of you had never spoken beyond small, casual, formal conversations, like greetings in the hallways or small talk when you bumped into each other in the office. But for Sasuke, this was his second step: gathering information.
