I Know Your Secret [CLOSED]

[Andrew Sebastian Maxwell]

Andrew walked into the Slytherin Common Room hoping to catch Blaze there. He just got back from Hogsmeade with Tommy and had been wanting to confirm whether it was truly Blaze that Tommy has been speaking of. He did not doubt the child, however when it was about Sophia Blaze Livington and the idea of her being nice, it was debatable.

"Blaze? Are you in here?" he called out. The living room was empty and was hoping that she was in her dorm room. "Blaze? Are you in your room?" he called out louder to the dorm room's direction. Again, no answer.

"She must be out." he thought. He had to wait for her and talk to her as soon as possible. Whatever she was showing everyone else and what Tommy had shared were two different personalities. He just had to get to the bottom of the issue.

[Sophia Blaze Livington]

Blaze entered the common room, still a bit cold from the weather outside. She had a nice time, talking to James. She would prefer his com[any than that of Parker, that was for sure. She took of her jacket and saw Sebastian Maxwell in the living room. Though he had a first name, she liked his other name better.

"Sebastian, it seems that your soul control of the common room has come to an end." She said with a smirk. It was her way of joking with him. She knew he was gay but didn't say anything. It was better that he told her before she told him that she knew. It was the proper way.

She went to sit on the vacant arm chair that was across the sofa. "You seem to be in deep thought" she told him.

[Andrew Sebastian Maxwell]

Blaze was one of the very few people who called him by Sebastian instead of Andrew. It was alright either way. It was still his name. he turned to her but didn't ride of her joke. He was thinking about an issue that needed to be cleared before it came out somewhere else.

"Blaze, do you know Tommy Ellis of Gryffindor? A first year." he asked her. He would know if she was lying. He sat in a manly way to indicate his serious side. "You see, I was with him earlier this afternoon and we had a very strange conversation regarding a Blaze Livington of Slytherin House that was nice."\

"It greatly confused me since there is only one Blaze Livington of this house." he eyed her seriously. "Care to explain?" he asked. He was going to make her explain whether it kills her to do so.

[Sophia Blaze Livington]

To say that she was in shock was truly not enough. And did he just say Tommy Ellis? No wonder he knew about that part of her. She was wondering now how he was able to make Tommy talk about him knowing her? She took a deep breath before answering. She had to spill now before things went wrong.

"I do know Tommy of Gryffindor. And yes, I am nice to him...." she trailed off. She was hesitating to tell him about her dark and painful past. But there was no way around it. "Tommy reminded me strongly of my second older brother, Paris. he was sorted into Gryffindor when he was here." she began.

"However, he along with my mother and older brother, died. My wretched father came home and killed them. I was spared because my brothers had hidden me down in a secret cellar." she finished. she looked back at him, "Please Sebastian. Whatever Tommy said about me, don't tell him who I am with the rest of the school. He doesn't know that Blaze. And I do not want him to know." she pleaded.

She knew it was going to happen sooner or later after being nice to Tommy. But she didn't regret it.

[Andrew Sebastian Maxwell]

Andrew felt she was telling the truth. He didn't anticipate she would share a bit of her past. No one really shared such things in Slytherin. Most of them rather hide those facts to avoid being taken advantage of by other snakes. But Blaze knew what she was doing.

He leaned back on his seat and sighed. "I don't plan on telling anyone. However, it's Tommy you need to tell. He thinks that your this nice person, which you may be but I haven't seen that side of you. He does and his very confident that the Blaze he knows will help him when he needs it." he told her with concern.

Blaze Livington was now the last of her family. And he had to help her preseve whatever power and dignity her name has left.

[Sophia Blaze Livington]

Blaze was relieved that Sebastian promised not to tell. She was glad about that. But she knew he was right about Tommy. Sooner or later, Tommy will tell people that he knows me and might actually tell them that I'm nice to him and all. That would just complicate her last year.

And to think that she had a good afternoon. She sighed and leaned back on her seat as well. "This is sucks... I never thought Tommy would actually tell you about me. Which makes me wonder, how come Tommy spoke to you about me? I'm sure he didn't go 'Your a slytherin? I know a slytherin too! Her name is Blaze? You know here?' and you can guess the rest." she said.

She was definitely going to have a talk with Tommy. People might hurt him if they knew that he knew her. Worse, they might use him against her. It didn't look good for her as of the moment.

[Andrew Sebastian Maxwell]

Andrew knew a bit how she was starting to feel. "Tommy didn't tell on you. I asked him." he told her. She ought to know how he came to know about her other side that only Tommy has seen. "You see, Tommy snuck into Hogsmeade and was fortunate enough to have been caught by me." He began.

"However, not too long after, Professor McKinney came and saw him there. Everything went by so fast that I couldn't have any spare time to hide him." Andrew recalled the man appearing out of nowhere.

"Then I asked him to allow me to take Tommy with me for some errands before he went back to the castle and have detention." Andrew said with a smile. "Seriously, that lion cub is a handful." he added and chuckled.

"Then I asked him if he knew other people that were in seventh year that could ask Professor McKinney to not give Tommy detention." Andrew turned to look at Blaze. "Imagine my surprise, when he mention a Blaze Livington of Slytherin. And said that she was a nice and good friend. That certainly caught my attention." he told her.

"Now you know how I came to know about your little secret. Now, you and I have to head on over to the office of Ravenclaw's Head of House and ask him to not give Tommy detention. Instead of detention, he can have study time with us." he suggested with a smile.

[Sophia Blaze Livington]

Blaze didn't know whether to smile or laugh. It seemed that Tommy had reeled in another snake by his charms. "I see that he has charmed you as well, Sebastian. Not that I could blame you. Tommy is indeed charming." she spoke as she was about to stand up.

"Very well, let's go and head on over there before Professor McKinney sentences Tommy to another set of detention. Slytherin knows how many detention that lion cub has already been in." she said with a chuckle.

"Come Sebastian. Let us go and withdraw a certain lion from the clutches of a 'claw." she joked as she made her way to the door. It was nice that she didn't have to be her cold faced Blaze when in the common room. At least Sebastian knows. It'll be fine.

[Andrew Sebastian Maxwell]

Andrew nodded and stood up to follow Blaze out. "Yes, Slytherin forbid that the Head bird would subject Tommy to another set of boring detentions." he joked back. He was kind of glad that he and Blaze were getting along better than they did when they were younger.

He hoped that things would go better since it was their last year in Hogwarts. Which made him think what would happen to Tommy when they left.

"He'll be fine. That child can sneak in and out of any situation when he knows he can." his own mind reassured him. He smiled and both left the Slytherin Common Room.
