Chapter 15: Whitechapel

How the floof did I get in the top 50 Hogwarts legacy stories already? What? 😅 it's been up for like 3 or 4 days! Thank you everyone!

Also sorry this took a bit longer. I was writing out 'The Gift' to cement it in. I hope you guys will like the twists involved :) hopefully some of you hardcore Ominis or Seb stans won't freak out too much lol

Also, is anyone interested in me making a Spotify playlist for the songs that I listen to while writing?

Walking through whitechapel after so long felt strange. She was a different person than she'd been two years ago when she'd gotten her letter, and was whisked away to Hogwarts. She was older, more mature both physically and mentally, and now with two wonderful men by her side.

Ominis was still amazingly cheerful, though he now had a wary look as he kept himself on high alert, their joined hands held tight as if he didn't dare let go of her. Normally in the more high class areas such a public display of affection would have caused whispers and sounds of exclamation, but here in whitechapel it was hardly noticeable.

No, their dress was far more noticeable, and that was what had Sebastian on high alert. Her emerald green skirts shifted and rustled with every step she took, the layers of satin gleaming in the light that cut through the smog of the London sky and made her shine like a beacon among the soot and dirty covered masses that lined the streets. Greedy eyes drifted after her, a few men starting to follow after them as well.

Sebastian reached out and set a hand against her lower back possessively, glancing over his shoulder at the men following them in warning.

Diane blushed at the feeling of his hand against her lower back, the possessive touch going right to her core as butterflies ran rampant in her belly.

Ominis seemed to sense something, looking toward her curiously before he made a small smile, looking ahead again with a bemused expression.

They came to Mary's house, and Sebastian knocked on the door gently. They'd all been awake at night before, so he figured they may be sleeping now.

Penelope answered the door with a groggy look, her hair a mess as she looked out to them. One look at Diane brought a loud shout from her, rushing past Sebastian to wrap her arms around her and jump up and down.

"Look at you! Look at you!" She leaned back with a bright smile. "Well don't you just look like a proper lady! Oh, and who's this?" Penelope noticed their joined hands, seeing Ominis' pale eyes.

"This is Ominis, my boyfriend." Diane smirked, expecting the high pitched squeal that came next.

"Oh, and he's handsome, too!" Penelope smiled up at him, giggling when Ominis blushed a bit under the compliment.

"Come on in, come on in, I'll wake up the girls." Penelope took Diane's hand and all but dragged her inside along with Ominis, Sebastian chuckling as he followed them and closed the door behind him.

"Oh it's so good to see you!" Penelope said happily, before going over to gently nudge at a brunette sleeping on the ground snoring loudly. "Oi, Alice, ya lazy sod wake up! Diane is here!"

The brunette woke slowly before she sat up, Sebastian glancing away when she was in only a low cut nightdress.

"Diane?" She said groggily before she saw Diane and stared for a minute. "Holy shit!" She explained in shock. "You look like a right proper lord's wife, girlie!"

Diane blushed, chuckling softly. "You guys are ridiculous. It's just a dress."

"It ain't just the dress, girl. There's a different air about you, too." Penelope grinned.
