Falling For The Right One, A Hogwarts Fanfic Love Story

The house Elves

*Alicias POV*
Ominis led me down a dimly lit hallway the candles flickered sending shadows across the walls.
I was still at a loss of words, the pain I had deeply felt ebbed down into a dull ache.
"We are here Alicia due to my lack of sight would you tickle the pear?"
Walking over to the portrait of fruits I quickly moved my finger back and forth on the pear and was rewarded with light pitched laughter as the portrait swung open.
Stepping into the kitchen the warm air quickly warmed my skin, the smell of baking pastries wafted from the ovens making my mouth water. My stomach rumbled reminding me that I haven't ate since lunch.
"master ominis, mistress Alicia Winny hasn't seen either of you since last year. Master Ominis you have grown into a fine young man. Mistress Alicia you are as beautiful as ever one could never forget your firey red hair. What has brought you two into the kitchens?"

I couldn't help but smile Winnys happieness was always so contagious. "We are rather famished and cold we were hoping for a bite to eat and maybe some hot chocolate. It's so nice to see you again Winny expecially today more than ever."
"You are welcome here you can come visit Winny whenever you like and I will start on the hot chocolate right now,"  as she slid a plate of warm muffins onto the table.
Ominis carefully took two of the poppyseed muffins handing one to me.
Greedily I unwrapped the paper and began eating.
Ominis laughed and bit into his own muffin before speaking.
"Alicia you are eating as if you will never have another meal it is perfectly okay to chew there is no need to inhale it.
He drew his hand up and wiped the crumbs away from the creases of my lips. I swear you eat like a child."
Slightly embarassed I began to take smaller bites as we waited on the hot chocolate.
"Winny has made the best hot chocolate yes she has, she fastly pressed a mug into both of our hands. I might have even snuck a little fire whiskey in them to warm you up even more I did."
Winny smiled and waited  for us to take our first sip.
Placing the mug to my lips I nearly moaned when the delcious creamy taste flowed into my mouth, it was the most heavenly thing I have ever tasted.
The warmth spread all the way down into my toes as I finished it.
"Thank you Winny this has really made my night end on a good note, we should probably get leaving though it is getting rather late."
Ominis said his goodbyes and we walked out of the kitchen.

"Ominis thank you for being such a good friend, I have always been able to depend on you in my darkest moments.
I will no longer keep you away from much happier company I believe Poppy will be waiting for you to walk her to her dorm."
Ominis paused, " there is no need to thank me Alicia you would do the same for me and I will find my way back to her after chaperoning you to your dorm, I don't want you to be alone in case Saraphina comes to gloat about what happened today.
He motioned for me to link my arm with his as he made his way up the stairs. We fell into a comfortable silence as we walked. My thoughts were still all over the place but my emotions had calmed down it had to be like Ominis said Seb must have had a good reason to be talking to my arch nemises.
We soon entered into the hallway with the fat lady who was fast asleep.
I hugged Ominis and thanked him again before passing through the portrait.

*Sebastians POV*

Oh how I have so royaly fucked up. Watching Alicias face go from confused to anger to sadness I nearly wish I could have dropped dead.
Before I could even utter a word she had slammed the door and ran off.
I apologised to Saraphina and quickly made my way out.
I knew I needed to come clean about what I was doing, I wanted so badly to keep Alicia and Ominis out of my next quest.
I wanted both of them to have the stress free year they deserved after all the things I had put them through last year.
As I was making my way outside I ran into Poppy,
Our eyes met and she motioned me over.
"Whatever happened Seb, Alicia is okay Ominis made sure she would not be left alone. As much as her ancient magic has been such a blessing, it is dangerous until she fully masters it."
"Do you know where they might have gone? I really need to explain things to her."
"Ominis said he knew where she would go but he didn't mention where. I'm sorry that I do not have anymore information."
"It's okay Poppy thank you for letting me know."
