Omake 13 Seishirou's Best and Worse Memories

*how ironic this is another take on chapter 13*

He was running after his Patronus trying to find Subaru. He had a feeling that Fei Wang Reed had lured Subaru into a trap. Subaru was so trusting he'd believe anything, especially if he was led to believe someone he held dear was in danger.

Why am I dreaming this again? I know he's fine; we just spent New Year's together.

Coming up to The Whomping Willow and freezing it, he slipped down the passage. His footsteps echoed as his pace quickened and at the end and there he saw Fei Wang Reed laughing over Subaru's broken form. The younger male was stripped bare and he was bleeding in a several places and his once beautiful green eyes stared into nothingness. In that moment, Seishirou wasn't 18 anymore, he was 12 again staring at the broken form of his sister, her brown eyes staring into nothingness. He heard himself screaming as he grabbed his wand and aimed it at the man's laughing face-

"Seishirou…."

He felt himself being shaken and sat up with a start. He was staring into violet eyes and it took him a minute to realize he had fallen asleep in the common room while studying and Kamui had woke him up. There was an indent on his face from sleeping with his glasses on.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah."

"You're lying; Fuuma said you're good at hiding your feelings."

"Perhaps, but since when do you care about me?"

"You're my baby brother's most precious person, as much as I don't want to admit it. You can't replace Hokuto or I, but all the same we can't replace you either."

Seishirou had pulled his glasses off and rubbed where they had left indents on his face. "You were dreaming about when Fei took him weren't you?" Amber eyes narrowed.

"What makes you say that?"

"You were calling out Subaru's name in your sleep, that's what made me come down here."

"If I was?"

"You don't have to be so prideful about it, I have nightmares too." No answer.

"I think I'll go to bed, first day back is going to be really stressful." Kamui rolled his eyes; the older teen was running away again.

When Yuui had come barging into the library and told him that Fei Wang Reed not only had Subaru (again) but his little brother, Seishirou nearly snapped. No matter how crazy his brother loved to drive him, the point was he was still his little brother, HIS ONLY brother. As for Subaru, he loved the boy. He couldn't explain how or why, but he did. Fighting the urge to kill Yuui by telling him to get help, he took off towards the Room of Requirement alone.

He arrived just in time to have Subaru collide with him from the force of the impact of the spell. After stating his piece and saying that they could go after who they pleased as long as they left Fei alone, Seishirou once again was faced with Fei Wang Reed.

"You and me, eh, Sakurazuka? You have no idea how much I've been looking forward to this."

For a while they both sent spells at each other that were either deflected or avoided. Finally Fei Wang landed a hit, the memory invasion spell.

It was November, the week of Seishirou's eleventh birthday.

"Papa why are there two owls coming this way?"

"Well Kotori, I'm not sure, one will be bringing the Prophet, the other I'm not sure." He paused from talking to his daughter to break up a fight between his sons. "Hey you two, either share it or I take it."

The boys were fighting over the Gobstones set. Seishirou got distracted when one of the owls dropped a letter to him. Confused as to why he got mail, he tore it open and amber eyes went wide. Forgetting about the Gobstones set he was fighting with his brother over, he screamed. "MOTHER! FATHER! I GOT INTO HOGWARTS!"

~#~

They were standing on Platform 9 3/4. His brother and sister had come for the ride to see their older brother off to school. Fuuma walked over and gave his older brother a hug.

"Send lots of letters, I want to know all about Hogwarts."

"I will, stay out of my bedroom; I know where I have my stuff Fuuma."

It hit Kotori that she wasn't going to see her brother for a while and she ran forward and latched onto his leg. "BIG BROTHER! DON'T LEAVE!"

"Kotori, he'll be back, don't worry." Between Fuuma and their father, they got Kotori off his leg.

He bent down and hugged his little sister. "I'll be back Kotori, remember our promise?" She nodded before letting him go. He stepped on the train, and watched as his parents and siblings waved until the train was out of sight.

~#~

"KOTORI! KOTORI! LET ME GO FUUMA OR I'LL HEX YOU TOO!"

"Seishirou that's enough, you don't stand a chance against her, Fuuma, go to your room and start packing we're leaving."

"You can't leave Seishirou with that monster!"

Seishirou met his father's eyes and shook his head.

"Your brother will be fine, let's go."

"So many new subjects this year, this is only third year, are they mad?" He felt something collide with him as he was searching for his books. Jumping slightly, habit of living with his strict mother, he was looking down into bright green eyes.

"OH I'M SO SORRY, PLEASE EXCUSE ME! I WASN'T WATCHING WHERE I WAS GOING!"

The boy was wearing brand new robes, with the Hogwarts crest on them. First year then.

"OH! You go to Hogwarts?"

"I do, will be starting my third year." They talked for a while and Seishirou found himself drawn to the boy. When his name was called, Subaru took off after asking for his new friend's name.

"It's Seishirou."

"OKAY! I'LL SEE YOU ON THE TRAIN SEISHIROU! SAVE ME A SEAT OKAY?!"

A sly smirk crept onto Seishirou's face. He's not like Emerald; he doesn't know my family or history. He's not a set up, yes; he may just be the one.

~#~

It was Christmas Eve; Seishirou was in his sixth year now. Right now he was visiting his brother and father. Fuuma was joking with the triplets downstairs, Seishirou's father had pulled him aside for a chat.

"How much is it going to take Seishirou?"

"Whatever do you mean Father?"

"Don't give me that smirk young man; you know damn well what I mean. I came here just last week and you were soaking wet, almost came down with hypothermia. Why won't you leave that crazy woman's house?"

"You know why Father, I always keep my promises."

His father hesitated, granted, this boy in front of him wasn't his son by blood, only by marriage. "Seishirou…"

"I know you're not my biological father, I've known since I was seven, I heard Mother mention Fuuma and Kotori being only halfblooded. She was always proud of her pureblood status and made it known whenever she brought me places. Far as I'm concerned you are my father." He felt himself being hugged.

"Then promise once you fulfill your promise to your late sister, you'll move in here."

"No problem Dad, I promise." There were tears in the man's eyes, in all the years he had cared for the boy, he had never been called dad by him before.

"FUUMA! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

"You better save your brother from the mess he just got himself into." Seishirou grinned and walked out just in time to see Kamui chasing Fuuma down the hall.

Seishirou smirked, grabbing his wand and moving a trash can into Fuuma's path, causing his younger brother to fall over it.

"Son of a-WHERE'D THIS COME FROM?!" Seishirou slipped his wand into his pocket before going downstairs to see Subaru.

~#~

He was lying on the grass next to Subaru, contemplating the male's question. Did this mean that Subaru liked him as well? He had a feeling Subaru did, the way the boy had always stolen glances at him.

"Yes Subaru I'll go with you, how can I refuse a cute boy like you?"

Subaru flushed red. "Does…does...does…" Subaru was stammering.

"Yes Subaru, that can mean we're dating now" Seishirou paused. "If you want to that is."

"I do, more than anything else." Choosing not fluster the younger male more, he chose not to kiss him for now. Besides, it was his first kiss as well; he wanted it to be special.

~#~

The next few memories seemed to blur. His mother telling him that he should've stayed with Emerald and that Subaru would never love him, him holding Subaru when he cried, Fuuma telling him about starting a relationship with Kamui, Subaru in the hospital wing, Subaru kissing him at the ball, their first kiss by the lake, Fuuma belting a bludger that won a match, Subaru coming up to his bedroom-

No, I'm not that lost, I refuse to let you see that, you won't see that. If I have to kick in my mother's training I will.

"Protego!"

"I see your boy toy's taught you a lesson or two, Seishirou Sakurazuka."

"Shut up you filth and take that back, I notice you're in a rough state, hence why you tried to mess with my mind."

"Your half-breed of a brother and little boy toy attacked me, one of them with a beater's club if you recall."

A sly smirk. "He is my brother after all and Subaru IS MY BOYFRIEND, not boy toy, get your facts straight."

He felt himself slipping; he didn't even realize that someone else had stunned Fei Wang Reed.

His mind was scrambled from all the invasion of his deepest memories and secrets. He swore he felt someone grab him by his robes and lean up and kiss him but he wasn't sure.

Was it Emerald trying to seduce him? Why did he feel like a scared twelve year old again? The one that always turned away whenever she tried to force her disgusting mouth on his? No this kiss was gentler, these lips knew him well. He could feel tears.

Subaru.

Once his mind registered who it was, he kissed back, arms finding Subaru's waist, pulling the smaller boy closer. When they pulled apart, emerald met amber and Seishirou knew what he had to do and Subaru's question when they walked back only confirmed it. Seems he'd be writing Gringotts in the morning and next Hogsmeade trip he'd be going shopping.
