After a few hours of chatting between us and just enjoying the beach, we eventually packed up and wandered back into the room of requirement. All of our potion ingredients were ready, all that was left was to mix them all together. I pulled out the recipe for sleeping draught from my pocket, I stood over the cauldron, mixing each amount carefully and stirring occasionally.

 Ominis wrapped his arms around my waist, nuzzling into my hair. "You're going to make me loose focus my love." I said playfully. "Well, do we really need a sleeping draught now?" he asked. "It's better to have it than to not. Go on, shoo. Find a way to entertain yourselves for a bit until i'm done." 

"We should go to Hogsmede afterwards, grab a butterbeer." Sebastian suggested. I nodded absentmindedly, too focused on the potion. I needed to get this right so we didn't need to go looking for ingredients again. 

Sebastian piped up. "I need to grab something warmer if we're heading out to Hogsmede, Darling should I grab a coat for you?" "Yes please." I said back. This wasn't turning the colour it should yet, had I stirred it too much?

 Had I added too much lavender? It was meant to be- "Ah!" I shrieked in surprise as Ominis lifted me up and pulled me back from the Cauldron. "You're stirring too much darling, let it simmer awhile." He whispered into my ear.

I blushed, realising I had been hyper-focusing. "W-where did Sebastian and Deek go?" He chuckled, turning me around so that our noses touched. "Sebastian went to get cloaks for us since it'll be colder when we're heading out to Hogsmede, and I believe Deek got an owl from Professor Weasly." 

That meant we were alone. All alone...I hadn't given it much thought in the past, but being alone in a secluded area like this with a guy, we could get away with a lot of different things. The thought both excited me and made me incredibly nervous. 

"You've gone quiet Darling, what thoughts are swimming around in that beautiful mind of yours?" Ominis asked, closing the distance and placing gentle kisses on my cheek. "N-nothing Ominis, I was just..." 

My nerves were making me stumble with my words, my heart pounding and my cheeks red. Ominis cupped my cheek, lifting my gaze to meet his eyes. "You're a bad liar Darling, but thats ok. I think I can guess what you were thinking. May I try to guess?" 

 I hummed in conformation, curious to see what Ominis would do. His other hand cupped my other cheek, our faces coming closer. "Do you have any idea how much I've longed for this moment?" Ominis' lips met mine, but it wasn't like before. 

This kiss was hot, passionate and unwilling to let me go. I deepened this kiss, no longer caring about the potion or my burning face. Ominis was all I could sense. Ominis guided me back against the wall, using his hand to gently tangle into my hair as we kissed. 

I moaned, sparks being sent throughout my entire body. "Ominis..." I breathed, waiting for him to keep going. "I need to lift you up, hold onto me alright?" he breathed into my ear, to which I nodded. Carefully, he lifted my legs around his waist, I gasped as our bodies collided through the fabric, my back against the wall.

Ominis' hands explored my body, one hand going up my leg and the other cradling the back of my head as our lips met again, a wonderful entanglement of our tongues exploring each other. Ominis grinded into me, seemingly unable to help the sinful attraction between us, the tension becoming more heated. 

Oh how far we could go, the strange thing being, I think I would let him, though I was unsure if that was something I wanted just yet. It felt like electricity was flowing throughout my body with every touch, Ominis hitting all of the right points without us even being...

The sound of the door being opened caused us to spring apart, I dashed back to the cauldron to the best of my ability while Ominis made a beeline to sit on the stairs. I swallowed, my cheeks hot as I ran a hand through my hair in an attempt to fix it, before realising my hair probably looked pretty wild before Ominis had messed it up. 

Sebastian walked in, grinning. "I've got all of our coats and some extra bottles, so as soon as the potion is ready we can bottle it up and go!" I turned and flashed a smile, hoping my face wasn't too red. "Great! This is almost the colour it needs to be, bring the bottles over so I can pour the sleeping draught in." 

 As Sebastian walked over, he glanced between Ominis and I, a thoughtful expression crossing his features. "Did I miss something?" he asked casually, Ominis turned away to hide the heat on his cheeks, while I myself focused on the potion. I cleared my throat, staying silent. 

Sebastian placed the bottles on the table, wrapping his arms around my waist and leaning his head on my shoulder. "I'll find out eventually, you do know that right?" he whispered straight into my ear, causing my cheeks to turn even more red as I sucked in air through my teeth. These boys were too much for me... 

Sebastian chuckled, releasing me and leaning on the table, eyeing the potion. "Looks good to me, need a hand bottling them?" I nodded, handing him a ladle as we carefully poured the purple bubbling liquid into the bottles. We were quiet while doing so, but I could see in my peripheral vision that Sebastian was glancing smugly at Ominis. 

He could probably guess what had happened. "Done!" I said cheerily, collecting all of the bottles together. "I think we made too much..." Sebastian stated, and I realised he may be right. We had 48 large bottles in total. "Ok...dividing by the three of us, that makes 16 bottles each. Plenty to last us." I said almost sadly.

 "What's wrong Darling?" Ominis asked. I sighed. "It was quite an adventure picking potion ingredients with you both, but now we don't need any more." "Just because we have the potion we need doesn't mean we'll stop going on adventures you know. There's so much to explore both in and around Hogwarts!" Sebastian exclaimed, trying to comfort me. I smiled. "I suppose that's true." 

I handed Ominis his 16 bottles, watching as he stored them in a bag he had brought with him. When I turned back, Sebastian's potions were gone too, though I had no Idea where he had put them. "So...we've got a new problem. I can't walk very well, and getting to Hogsmede is a bit further than here, which I know I'd struggle with. Are we flying?" 

Sebastian nodded, but stopped and looked at Ominis. "Actually, maybe walking would be...no wait, that wouldn't help." He pondered for a moment, taking Ominis' lack of flying alone into account. I got the feeling there was more to him not flying alone. 

"Ominis, you can't fly on your own right?" He scowled at the ground. "I can't, no...but I also just hate flying on a broom without someone trustworthy to guide me. When I was younger my father insisted that I try to fly, so he put me on a broom and left me there. I had no idea how high I was or for how long I was on that broom, but it was enough to make me hate it. You and Sebastian go on ahead, I'll meet you in the three broomsticks."
