Legacy Undone: Sebastian/MC/Ominis

Restricted Section, Devils Snare

POV ADA MARROW

I was reasonably frustrated, after being informed by Professor Fig our next clue to this entire thing was in the restricted section,  right before we went he was pulled away by Headmaster Black. I stood there dumb founded watching Professor Fig follow the Headmaster out of his office.

Even when I stood there alone  I was a bit exasperated, I was too deep in and Fig still insisted on keeping all of this a secret. He's done quite a bit for me the past few weeks, so I'm not entirely irate with him but the situation has grown more dangerous. I couldn't wait any longer for this but how would I get into the restricted section? When I left the room and started down the stairs I was reminded of my time with Sebastian Sallow. He knew how to get into the restricted section but he had also gotten caught. I chewed at my lip walking down the stairs to the main corridor of the Dark Arts building.

Should I ask him? I couldn't lie to him, why should I lie to him? My hand rested on my arm as my thumb rested on my lower lip. Debating if I should really ask him for help when I was halted, just as I was going to pass that portrait of a false burning witch a hand rested on my shoulder.

"There you are! You've had me worried sick." My head swiveled to face Sebastian, his brow furrowed, "You owe me an explanation about yesterday." All I could do was stare at him, he had caught me off guard.

"Um... Right."

"Are you alright, I'm sorry I didn't mean to frighten you."

"No it's not that... I actually wanted to talk to you and you're right. You're just as involved now as I am so you deserve an explanation." I glanced around at the students and grabbed his hand leading him off. He didn't resist my pulling, didn't speak and I didn't dare look back to see his face as I pulled him into one of the many dark alcoves in the wing to talk. I faced him then once we were alone.

"You cannot tell anyone this... I can wield ancient magic."

"Yes I figured, I had mulled over the fight with the Troll and you used magic like I've never seen before." He leaned against the wall watching me, pocketing his hands.

"That's not all, Ranrok is after me because of it and because of what Professor Fig and I found at Gringotts."

"Wait, wait. When were you at Gringotts?"

"It was the reason why I was late for the sorting ceremony." I couldn't help fiddling with my fingers. His gaze was intense, it weighed down on me, "I need your help...I need to get into the Restricted Section. What we found had a map and there's something down there that I need."

He was silent for a time, my eyes glanced up at him. He was thinking, assessing me, then he said,

"Tonight, after curfew, meet me outside the Library. Tell no one." His voice was firm, I perked up and nodded.

"Of course! I'll see you tonight." He bowed his head and walked past me, I watched him leave and sighed, it was nice getting all of that off my chest. I made my way back, now at least I can be focused in class. Though I found myself suddenly losing focus as I spotted Ominis sitting on the floor at the other end of the hall. He was sort of just relaxing, I hadn't spoken to him much.

My feet carried themselves walking over to the boy.

POV OMINIS GAUNT

My head relaxed back against the wall, only listening to the echo of footsteps as my peers traversed the corridors in the wing, until a set stopped the echo; hearing the sound of a heel click against the marble flooring, I opened my eyes and felt a robe brush against my arm. Someone had sat down rather close, right next to me on the floor.
