In the aftermath of the events that shook Hogwarts, Ophelia Rose finds herself trapped in the shadows of a tragic love story. Sebastian Sallow, her once true love, was horrifically imprisoned in Azkaban for the murder of his uncle. Blaming Ophelia f...
Tw: Suicidal ideations I stumbled out into the chilling air that enveloped the bridge leading to the luminous castle. My heart weighed heavy, burdened by the emptiness that had consumed me these past few months. Thoughts of Sebastian consumed my every waking moment, and the void left by his absence felt suffocating. No longer could I hear his laughter echoing through the halls or catch his familiar scent lingering on my clothes. The dreams that once held visions of him had been shattered, replaced by haunting nightmares of his decaying existence in a cold, desolate cell.
I stood there, gazing at the castle that had once been a symbol of hope and magic, now a constant reminder of the irreparable loss in my life. How could I move forward when a part of me had been taken away, condemned to endure a lifetime of longing? The future stretched out before me, an endless expanse of pain and longing, devoid of the love and companionship that had once filled my days.
A bitter tear rolled down my cheek, mirroring the desolation within my soul. The world had turned gray, its vibrancy fading away along with the shattered fragments of my heart. I yearned for the sound of his voice, for the touch of his hand, but they were nothing more than distant echoes, forever out of reach.
As the wind whipped through my hair, a sense of resignation settled upon me. I had lost him, and with that loss, my world had crumbled. I had been reduced to a mere shadow, a hollow reflection of the person I once was. The weight of guilt bore down on me relentlessly, an unrelenting burden that etched its mark deep within my soul. I was haunted by the memories of losing Sebastian, Professor Figg, and the countless lives I had taken in the wake of my actions. The darkness within me had consumed all that was good, and I had become a monster, a master of destruction, wielding the dark arts as if they were second nature.
I took another swig of the firewhiskey, its burning warmth coursing through my veins, numbing the pain that weighed heavily on my heart. The bridge stretched before me, its sturdy wall beckoning me with a macabre allure. I chuckled, a bitter sound that mingled with the night air, as I teetered on the edge of the world.
A dangerous thought whispered in my mind, tempting me with the idea of escape, of an end to the relentless torment. It seemed so easy, one small slip, and all my pains would cease. The weight of my mistakes, the burden of my guilt, would be lifted in an instant.
I stumbled over a stone, my body lurching forward as my hand crashed onto the pillar that lined the wall. The cold, hard surface pressed against my palm, grounding me in that fleeting moment of despair. The sound of rushing water beneath me intensified, echoing the tumultuous thoughts swirling in my mind. I gazed down, my heart pounding, as the dizzying height magnified the allure of escape.
The darkness whispered its seductive promises, offering a respite from the pain that clung to me like a relentless shadow. The weight of my burdens threatened to pull me under, suffocating any flicker of hope that remained.
I'm going to do it. I took a deep breath, desperately trying to feel Sebastian's arms around me one last time. In my last moments I wanted to see Sebastian's smiling face.
"Ophelia," Ominis panted, desperation evident in his voice. "Where are you? What are you doing?"
My heart wrenched at the sound of his sobs, mirroring the pain that consumed me. "Leave me," I cried, my voice trembling with anguish.
"I lost Sebastian too," he whispered, his voice breaking. "But losing you as well would be unbearable."
"Ophelia," Ominis panted. I could hear the fear in his voice. "Ophelia, don't do this."
I could feel a piece of my heart shattering as I could her Ominis sob's.
"Darling," Ominis panted, desperation evident in his voice. "Please, reconsider this. Don't do something you can't take back."
My heart wrenched at the sound of his sobs, mirroring the pain that consumed me. "You don't understand, Ominis," I cried, my voice trembling with anguish.I could feel a piece of my heart shattering as I could hear Ominis sob's.
Tears streamed down my face as I pleaded with him, my voice choked with emotion. "Just let me go, Ominis. I can't bear the pain any longer."
"I don't understand? Not only did I lose Sebastian that day he was captured, but you died with him."
Tears streamed down my face as I pleaded with him, my voice choked with emotion. "Let me go, Ominis. I can't bear the pain any longer."
His resolve hardened, his grip firm as he lunged forward, trying to pull me away from the ledge. But it was too late. In a moment of desperation, I leaped into the abyss. The world around me blurred as I descended towards the unforgiving ground.
"Wingardium Leviosa!" Ominis cried out, his voice filled with panic.
I froze in mid-air, suspended by the magical force, my body weightless against the night sky. Ominis's spell had saved me from the fall, bringing me back to the safety of the bridge. But my screams of frustration and sorrow erupted, directed at Ominis as I lashed out, my fists pounding against his chest in a desperate release of pent-up emotions. He took my beating, before finally grabbing my arms and holding them still, his arms wrapped protectively around me, pulling me into his lap.
"Please," he sobbed into my neck as his arms wrapped around my body, curling me to his chest. "I can't lose you too."
"I can't take it anymore, I want this pain to end," the tears poured out, "I want to die, please let me die." I repeated over and over again like a madman.
"Ophelia," Ominis cooed, his voice gentle amongst the heartbreak. "We will get him back, you have to believe in it."
I sniffled, my tears slowing as Ominis's soothing words penetrated my desolation. I looked up at him, my eyes red and swollen, searching for a glimmer of hope. "But how?" I choked out, my voice trembling. "Sebastian is in Azkaban, and I'm helpless."
Ominis cupped my face in his hands, his gaze unwavering. "We'll find a way, Ophelia. We won't give up on him and I won't give up on you."
Side note: how do y'all think ominis uses his wand to 'see'? I imagine it's like how Toph uses earth bending in Avatar the last airbender to 'see'. She feels the vibrations to feel/see people/objects/etc.
