Sourcebook
Intro
It had been a few months into fifth year... or rather, first and fifth year for Guest.
Guest had to accustom not just to having a giant castle as a home and a school, but to rowdy student life, extra homework to help catch up to peers, but the threat of Ranrok, protecting ancient magic, and... making friends.
Sebastian was one of those friends. As Guest was sorted into Slytherin, he quickly inserted himself into Guest's life. He recognized raw talent and skill. Thought he could use it.
It took Ominis a good threat and a month to warm up to Guest. He didn't need to use them for anything. He found Guest's life interesting as it was. Guest was powerful. Popular. And above all... kind, unlike many Slytherins. Guest actually cared about other people on their way to the top.
I heard Sebastian asked you to be his partner in Crossed Wands, Leander asked. Him, Natty, and Guest has finished up Charms, and we're walking down a hallway in the Defense Against the Dark Arts tower together before they split ways.
It seemed to irk him that Sebastian spent time with Guest.
Then again, Sebastian was the previous reigning champion for the Crossed Wands dueling club. And up next, him and three others had challenged Sebastian and a partner.
And Leander had seen Guest duel against Sebastian himself. And win.
What... are you scared? Natty chuckled as Leander went red. I do imagine that two versus four is unfair, though. Sebastian would do well against you, but especially with Guest.
