Songbird and Snake ( Ominis x Oc)

Chapter 1

Hello before you start reading, I would like to say this is my first time writing and I hope you enjoy it. There are going to be songs in this story that I think would match the year it's set in. But not all of them will. The first song, if you want to listen to it as you read, will be Once Upon A December from the movie Anastasia. I hope you like the story and my own twist to it.

Felicity pov:

I slowly leave the map room, exhausted from the first trial. I head to the Hufflepuff common room to get some sleep. As I walk, I hear faint music from a gate in the dungeon. I walk to it, my feet on autopilot, the gate opens, and I continue a blueish glow forms as I reach the sound. I look around in amazement and see many ghosts waltzing in the air and ground. Candles in blue hue lit the room as the tapestry completed it. On one side of the room, ghosts were around a table full of molded food, enjoying the small talk. The other side of the room had enchanted instruments playing the pleasant song I was looking for.

"Found our secret party, my lady Felicity?" The ghostly voice speaks

I jump to the side in shock to see sir headless nick floating next to me. " I'm sorry, Sir Nick. I heard the music and couldn't help myself."

"Tis all right, my dear; who wouldn't be curious about the noises." He chuckles and looks down at me. "If it wouldn't be so bold of me, would you be willing to sing us a number before you leave?" He tilted his head a bit, making it all most fall off.

I looked at him in shock before I could say anything. He smiled at me

"I happened to wander by while you were alone in the library one night and heard your lovely voice. It would be an honor to have you sing for us." He looks at me with a smile as some other ghosts also come and ask.

I sigh but smile. "I have one song that I wouldn't mind singing for you all." With cheers from the crowd, I walked up to the side where the instruments floated, waiting. As the magic starts, the instruments start as they know which song is in my head. I take a deep breath in and begin.

🎶
Dancing Bears
Painted Wings
Things I almost remember.
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December.
🎶

Ominis pov:

Sounds bounced off the dungeon walls, and I stopped to grasp better where it was coming from. This caused Sebastian to all most run into me. 

"Hey, why did you stop? It's all almost past curfew?" Sebastian says as he stumbles a bit.

"Don't you hear that?" I ask as I turn towards the sound.

"No, Ominis, unlike you, my hearing sucks, " he retorts as he follows behind me

As I get closer to the sound, it becomes a bit louder. My wand leads me as it stops at what seems like a wall.

" I can hear someone singing. Is this what you heard? Let's go and look who it is. " Sebastian pushed past me as I listened to a gate being opened.

Sebastian pov:

I lead Ominis as we walk down the blue hallway to come out to a banquet hall of ghost dancing, and in the middle, Felicity dances with ghosts and sings. She swayed with her eyes closed as she waltzed around with her yellow and black robe fluttering behind her, making it look like she was floating along with the ghosts.

"Is that Felicity, I hear?" Ominis says as he walks beside me

I nod my head to confirm it. "Ya, she's the one singing, and wow, it sounds and looks enchanting." He says in aww.

We both stand there listening and watching as she switches from partner to partner. She gets to the end of her song with a quick gasp for air and finishes as she parts from the last ghostly dancer into a bow. She slowly opens her eyes, and a soft haze lifts from around her bright blue eyes. As she looks up at the ghosts, they bow back and applaud. Without thinking, both I and Ominis start to applaud with them getting her to jump and wip her head towards us, She turns bright red and pulls her hood over her face in embarrassment. Ominis was the first to move towards her. As I joined him, I could hear her mumble something as she stood there with her hands tugging on her hood.

Felicity pov:

Oh my Merlin, how did they find me? When did they get here? I have so many questions spiraling in my head. I only snap out of it when Ominis shoes appear in the view from underneath my hood, where I stand looking down. I look up to see a teasing smile come off of the Burnett boy and a soft smile from the blonde.

"Who knew you had such an amazing voice on you, what with you being so quiet half the time," Sebastian says

"How.... how long were you guys there" I squeak out the words as I go back to try and hide from embarrassment. I only ever sang to myself. I only sang this time because everyone looked at me excitedly after Sir Nick talked about it.

"I'm sorry, Felicity. I could hear an enchanting sound, so I followed it out of curiosity. I had no idea you had such a talent." Ominis says as he shuffles his stance

"One of many," Sebastian cuts in, only to have me finally look at him with a look telling him to shut up."I mean, you can sing and, like a siren, call people towards you with how enchanting it is. Ominis sure was pulled to it." He chuckles as he throws his hands behind his head.

"A siren, aren't they like mermaids, but they sing  young sailors to their death?" I ask as I fiddle with my hood so I can see a bit more, only to see Sebastian starting to look at me with more of a mischievous smile on him.

"I think calling you a siren is perfect for you with the way Ominis followed your voice to you here. I think this was the first time I saw him run off on his own without chasing me." He smirks and looks at Ominis with a cocky smile

"I only run after you because you tend to cause trouble wherever you go," Ominis says as he crosses his arms in annoyance at his friend's words. "If anything, it's better to call her a mermaid or a songbird than a siren with her lovely voice."

I blush harder after listening to the boys. " so that's how you found me. Your hearing is quite excellent." I look over at him as he gives me a small smile back.

"Well, that tends to happen when one of the other senses doesn't work." He shrugs and scoffs at this statement. "Now, why are you here singing and dancing? It's all almost past curfew."

"It's already past the curfew." Sebastian says as he takes out his pocket watch, looking at it with an amused smile." So are we in for another number from are siren, or are we heading back to our common rooms before we get into trouble?"

I sigh." After today I don't have the energy to humor you anymore, Sebastian." I rub my temples hoping it will push my tiredness away as my body starts to creak from the day's activity.

"We should probably get going before we are found," Ominis says as he starts to move, with Sebastian taking the lead and chucking to himself in amusement

I wave to Sir Headless Nick, and he bows with a smile, and I go to catch up to the boys. I slow my pace to match Ominis and gently tug his sleeve. "I'm sorry about what happened outside of the undercroft. Sebastian just wanted to help me find a place to catch up to everyone without prying eyes. I'm sorry for not talking to you about it with him." I say with my head down.

He sighs and uses his empty hand to pat the hand I had grabbed him with. I'm startled by this and quickly let go of his sleeve.

" I know Sebastian told me that he just wanted to help you out, and well, since I now know this enchanting secret of yours, ill let It slide this once." He says as I see a smirk coming from him

I smile at this, and we all walk back. I wave to the boys and say goodnight. I start to head back to the Hufflepuff common room. I get to the barrel without having any of the perfects find me. I tap the password, and I run in. Luckily, no one is there, and it's silent threw out the common room. I head up to my room, and the climb up the stairs makes my body feel even heavier. I get to my room and slowly peeked in, and everyone was asleep. Thankfully I headed to my bed and struggled to get my PJs on. I lay down, looking at the ceiling and recalling what had happened in the day. Drowsiness takes over, and I drift off to sleep.
