Cushion And A Crab PV Stanley as Berry Closed

role-playing as Sébastien Batteux

Sébastien had never imagined it would be so difficult to find time in his schedule to meet up with his friend, Cassie. Obviously, being kept behind a year would mean the two would have different lessons as different times. Sometimes Berry caught sight of her in the corridors hoping she would notice him back and give him one of her silly smiles. Although their lives seemed so much more apart, the young boy felt even more close with her as the precious time they spent together was even more special than before.

Broom racing had been one of the things Sébastien had been worrying about when he finally got out of his horrendous illness. He had been so scared that all his talent had been washed down the drain however his opinion quickly shifted when he made the winning move with one of his teammates last Summer at Hogwarts.

"TREE!" Cassie shouted as she lost control of her broom. Berry stopped swiftly and swerved his head to look back and find his friend on the ground laughing. It was just like her to be so clumsy and make a joke out of it. He chuckled to himself a bit before landing onto the ground next to her slowly as she turned to look at him.

"A new name huh?" He questioned putting a smirk on his face, "Is Berry not good enough?" Sébastien brushed his hair out of his eyes and huffed. That was one thing broom racing was bad for. Ruining your hair. He then leant onto his broom as Cassie continued to speak. He wasn't expected anything as bad as Crab or Pincers. He mouth dropped and he widened his eyes. "Crab? Pincers? How the hell did you come up with those and why does it remind you of me." He said with disbelief.

With all the stupid things Cassie had said to him before, she had never said something so bad that Berry had become lost for words. "If it's because I'm crabby I swear to god." He mumbled under his breath shaking his head a bit.

Cassie chuckled at the expression on Berry's face. "Come on, it's not that bad!" If she tried, the muggleborn could definitely come up with worse nicknames, but she wasn't trying! Crab really wasn't as bad as Berry was making out - or, at least, in Cassie's mind it wasn't.

Berry's next words made her laugh out loud. Realising now why her friend had seemed so offended by the suggestion of the name Crab, Cassie flopped back onto the grass and looked up at the clouds (and also Berry's face, since he looked very tall from where Cassie's own face was). "I honestly hadn't thought of that." But now she thought about it...

"I meant because of the crab." Well, that didn't explain anything. "In The Little Mermaid, the crab's called Sébastien! Well, it might be Sebastian, the English spelling, but close enough." Cassie peered upwards, remembering happy evenings with her family binge-watching Disney films. Since she didn't have any access to that sort of thing while at Beauxbatons, she and her parents practically watched one film per night when she was at home. Then Cassie remembered that pureblooded Berry might not have access to films even when he was at home. "You have watched The Little Mermaid, right?"

"Not that bad." He mumbled to himself as he watched Cassie flop to the ground, "It could ruin my whole reputation as a respectable academic student!" She then continued to explain how she got the nickname for him. From a Little Mermaid? Sebastien didn't know she knew how to speak to mermaids. He has tried to learn their language himself but found it extremely difficult and pointless because why would he stick his head under the water to talk with some fish people?

"There's a crab called Sebastian?" He said putting a hand on his chin, "and where is this crab? In a lake near Beauxbatons?" Berry put on a perplexed look as Cassie proceeded to ask him if he has seen the Little Mermaid. Seen? How can he have seen it. "Seen? What is this Little Mermaid? Where and how have you contacted them?"

Berry sat on the grass cross-legged and continued to ponder, "Is this some muggle thing?" He turned to look at Cassie hoping for an answer. Maybe she could enlighten him on what this all meant. "If it is muggle related then I will not really understand. I only know of the fabulous comic books they write about a man being a spider."

As much as Sebastien looked his Spider-Man comic books he had never gotten into anything else from the muggle world. He knew that there was televisions which showed moving pictures but with sound however never saw the need to get one since he is away most of the year and his grand-parents are deaf.
