Legacy Undone: Sebastian/MC/Ominis

Apologies, First Lesson

POV ADA MARROW

I will not lie when I say that I had become a bit of a recluse after that night. I was rightfully embarrassed, and while I couldn't avoid Victor seeing as he was my Prefect, he profusely apologized to me about the whole ordeal. I was also correct in thinking he wouldn't remember anything, either.

I accepted it and strongly turned him down. I was uninterested in him, and he apologized again, saying he'd stomp out any rumors about us. For that, I was thankful. As for the other two boys, I avoided them the best I could. I didn't sit with them in class. I avoided looking at them, and I practically ran away as soon as the classes ended. I felt awful for it, but rumors had spread like wildfires about me going into the boys' dorms and not leaving until the early morning. The number of boys questioning me or flirting with me as if I was a harlot was aggravating, to the point I was threatening people.

Even so, with Ominis first trial a week away, I was nervously walking with Imelda to the Quidditch Pitch for another race. She had reassured me that Sebastian wouldn't be there, but I saw now with her in her Quidditch gear, which was a lie. She pulled me into the girls' changing room and cornered me.

"Okay, broom down, it's time for a talk. Spill it." Imelda stated rather curtly at me. Her lip was almost up in a snarl, and her arms were crossed over her chest.

"Spill what? T- There's nothing to spill!" I sputtered out.

"I want to hear every last detail of what happened that night that you've been avoiding talking about with everyone."

"I thought we were going to race, Imelda..." I whimpered softly.

"Oh, we are, and I'm going to beat you this time, but I am your friend, and I feel you need a good talking to, and in order to do that, I must be caught up. So spill it, Marrow." She loomed over me like some intimidating statue, "Here's what I know. Victor dragged you away; Ominis found you wandering about drunk out of your goddamn mind, then you dragged him to his room and Sebastian escorted you out of the boys dorms in the wee early morning."

She basically summarized what had been said to me: "But there are some things that have been spread around that the boys are trying to keep quiet, and I want your input on them."

"O-Okay." I sat on a bench as she stared at me.

"You slept with Victor." She stated, I practically shook my head from my neck.

"NO! No! I did not sleep with him; most of what happened was him necking me." I admitted, Imelda looked pleased.

"You slept with Ominis."

"No. I did not."

"Do not lie to me; I saw Ominis leave for the baths covered in your lip coloring. So did every other Slytherin in the common room." Her finger pointed to me.

"I didn't! I just snogged him a lot." I murmured, doing my best not to look her in the eyes.

"And Sebastian? Why did he escort you out?"

"He... He was trying to calm me down from the whole ordeal... I mean, Imelda, the entire thing was so scandalous. I have boys coming up to me and asking to kiss me or if I want a quick romp in a broom closet." I felt like I'd cry, and Imelda was getting pricked hearing talk about the harassment.

"I am well aware because the boys you've been trying so hard to avoid this past week have fiercely defended your honor. I even saw Sebastian lose his cool and wail at one of our teammates. You NEED to stop avoiding those two. Ominis looks like a kicked puffskien, and Sebastian can't stop longingly looking at you or moping around on his broom during practice."
