You had only been at Hogwarts for a year or so, as you had joined mid-way through third year. But you had been there long enough to know who to avoid at all costs— Sebastian Sallow being one of those people.

He was the classic Slytherin. Sneaky, arrogant, and way too tricky for your liking. You felt off whenever you felt him near, but despite all that was wrong with him and all his flaws… you were drawn to him like a moth to a damn flame.

You had written diary entry after diary entry about your undeniable attraction for Sebastian, trying to vent out how you felt on paper to decide if this truly was love or simply lust. Probably the worst mistake.

It was a normal day, only a few weeks before winter break and Hogsmeade, and you were just walking through the halls making your way to potions, when you felt someone trip you up. You yelped in shock as you went stumbling forward into none other than Sebastian’s arms, your face instantly flushing.

But it got even worse when you saw his friend, Ominis, waving around your diary like it was a toy. Your eyes widened and your heart dropped.

“Give it back!” You begged, but your voice fell onto deaf ears. Sebastian smirked down at you before looking back up to his friend and nodding.

Sebastian: “read it.” He ordered.

Ominis didn’t hesitate, smirking as he flicked through the pages. He hummed as he reached an interesting looking page, before beginning to read aloud.

Ominis: “would you hold me through the night? Put your lips all over mine,” he began. “Salty face when I start crying.” He hesitated. “Could you be my first time.. eat me up like apple pie, make me— not wanna die..”

He couldn’t read anymore, but clearly it wasn’t needed. Sebastian knew it was about him, but you… you were traumatised.

He wasn’t meant to find out like this.
