Falling For The Right One, A Hogwarts Fanfic Love Story

Wounded

*Alicias POV*

I stumbled up and put my sweater on.
The tears wouldn't stop no matter how much I begged them too.
I apparated into the gryffindors wash room trying to wash myself clean of him.
The hot water pelted into my skin as I rubbed my skin raw. Tears still streaming down my face.
I knew Sebastian had a dark side but I never thought he would have ever done what he did.
I threw on my warm woolen dress and my winter cloak and made my way outside.
The cold air reddened my cheeks as my breath escaped in small clouds from my mouth.
The snow covered the ground and the frost and ice dangled on the tree branches.
Winter was my favorite season, the cold crisp air the touches of the chilling wind on your face.
Everything covered in snow sparkeled.
I wanted to take my broom but I don't think I could handle sitting on anything. So I decided to walk to Hogsmeade, I was going to drown out my pain until I felt nothing.
Sebastians eyes had turned so black that it scared me and they were burned into my mind.
I knew I should find Ominis but I was terrified of what he might do.
If Ominis called him out for a duel it could send Sebastian back to Azkaban or worse. Sebastian and Ominis matched in power. Sebastian often won by using Ominis's blindness against him. I wasn't sure if he could still win now that Ominis had regained his sight.
And as much as my logical side was begging me to do just that.
My love for him would keep me from turning him in.
I didn't want their friendship to fully splinter I didn't want either of them to risk their lives over me.
I could feel my ancient magic course through my veins I needed to calm down.
I needed to clear my mind I took a few big gulps of air and closed my eyes.
Letting the cold air sweep by me.
I sat down and closed my eyes feeling the snow dampen my cloak.
Maybe if I did this mind thing Poppy taught me I could center myself.
I stopped thinking pushing thoughts away, I slowly concentrated on my breathing
Slowly I stopped the feeling of peace surronded me.
"Who has called us forward say your name." Two loud voices bellowed.
Alicia Evermore the last of the Ancient magic runs through me. I humbly ask for your connections so I can keep my magic under control."
"You have been accepted."a magnetic rush filled my veins feeling their powers combine into mine.
I smiled I had completed the first task to gain control of my powers.
I almost apparated back to the castle to tell Ominis when I remembered why I was avoiding him.
He would know I was upset about something if I went to him now and he would get it out of me.
My legs were sore by the time I made my way into Hogsmeade. Heading into the three broomsticks I picked up a bottle of firewhiskey and paid for it. Tucking it into my satchel I walked out.
I so badly to take a swig as I was walking back towards Hogwarts. But I was torn I had promised myself to never drink again.
I wanted to keep true to myself but the flashes of what happened were repeating in my head.
I couldn't get my mind to shut off Alcohol was the only thing that would turn it off.
Now where could I go so I could drink and not be found.
As I grew closer to Hogwarts I pulled the bottle and downed half of it before apparating into my dorm room.
There was a party going on tonight and it looked like I would be alone. I quickly made it into my room thanking Merlin I did not have a room mate. The alcohol was taking effect, my feelings slipped away into nothing. I sighed in relief I quickly hid the bottle in a secret compartment in my wardrobe before dressing to head to the party.
I draped a lavander dress on with silverlined details. I pulled my hair down and touseled it.
A party meant more alcohol and that was the only push I needed.

The music was blaring out of the ravenclaw dorm. I smiled and pushed my way in.
Couches and chairs and tables had all been moved to the sides.
People were dancing and laughter filled the room.
I walked up to the table that was full of a variety of alcohols.
I poured a few shots of rum and drank it down.
I stood by a window relishing on how empty my brain was.
Gathering myself I made my way onto the dancefloor moving my body to the beat letting the music flow in me. I looked up onto the other side of the room and saw Ominis he hadn't noticed me as he was tied up in a conversation with a familiar brunette.
My blood boiled when she moved closer to him batting her eyelashes.
My anger grew when he made no space between them after she had closed the distance.
He gulped the rest of his drink down.
She went to caress his arm and he pushed it away.
He promply left after he rejected her advances.
"Ali we need to talk about what I did to you today."
"We do not I slurred out I am not ready to look upon your face. Leave me be, your misdeed will be kept secret end of story."
"Alicia I wanted to apologise  I feel such an inmeasureable amount of guilt and shame for what I did . I do not know what has gotten into me lately, it like it took over never giving me the chance to walk away."
"Sebastian leave me be at once, I will not ease your guilt and shame.
You should feel both of them wholeheartedly. You are beyond lucky that I don't report you or tell Ominis what happened. So the least you could do is fuck off."
Clasping my winter cloak on I grabbed the remaining bottle of rum that I had been drinking and apparated to the boat house.
I finished the bottle and stared out into the lake.
Was it so hard for me just to have a normal life.
I sighed throwing snowballs onto the lake waiting for the alcohol to slowly erase the memories of today.

*OminiscPOV*

I showed up at the party hoping Alicia would be here. I couldn't find her after my classes, it always left me feeling a nervous when I couldn't find her. I worried that she had gotten herself into trouble.
Sebastian was surronded by girls so I didn't bother making my way over to him.
I glanced over the crowd for bright red hair.
Not even noticing the brunette that was walking up to me.
"Ominis, your alone I am quite surprised.Her cheeks were flushed from fire whiskey. I know things are over between us." She stepped closer
"Spit it out Poppy what do you want?"
"I went one more night with you like Sebastian got with Alicia. Oops I didn't mean to say that. I just well I caught them in the undercroft I had left my cloak there. It made me slick just by watching how hard he fucked her. Even with a tie in her mouth you could still hear her screams." "I never want to lay a finger on you ever again Poppy."
I stumbled out of the raven claw dormroom.
I needed to go to the boathouse I needed to calm down.
As I arrived I noticed a small figure at the end of the dock. Her scent filled the air mixed with alcohol.
I walked over and sat next to her I went to touch her and she flinched away.
Her face as blank as a canvas.
"Alicia you can't stay outside all night."
She mumbled incoherant words at me.
I made my way into the small room where we had slept before. I grabbed all the blankets I could and made it into a makeshift bed and than I started a fire.
Going outside I picked Alicia up and laid her down in the blankets.
I pulled her into my arms and she burst into tears but refused to tell me why. I held her as she passed out in my arms.

I got up early the next morning and snuck into the kitchen. Winny made a canister full of coffee and some simple jam and biscuits.
I made it back as soon as Alicia started to wake up.
Her hair was a mess and her eyes were still swollen from crying last night.
I poured her a cup of coffee and pressed it into her hands.
"Thank you Ominis," she quietly spoke before taking a drink.
"Are you ready to talk about what pushed you into drinking? If you slept with Sebastian I can forgive you just this once,I know your love for him will never truely go away."
She looked conflicted,
She bit her lip yes Ominis I slept with him, I have hated myself since that moment ended. I didn't want to think of what it meant to lose you." But I knew I had to tell you, but I ended up drinking again trying to avoid the mistakes I have made."
"Alicia don't be so hard on yourself, it was a moment of weakness I can overlook it."
I pulled her closer to me sitting her on my lap. I love you Alicia you are the only one who makes my world burn. You will have to do more than that to push me away.

*Alicias POV

I felt so much guilt lying to him about what happened.
But I couldn't tell him the truth, I had no idea how Ominis would take it.
He was always the level headed one in our group, but he became unpredictible when it came to someone hurting a person he cared about.
But I also didn't want a duel between them to happen.
Ominis would defend my honor and as much as I wanted too I couldn't bare the thought of them hurting each other.
"There was one good thing that happened yesterday I unintentionally connected with the last two elements, so my first trial is over. I figured we could head into the undercroft today and speak to Arrow."
"We can do that if you really want too but you need a shower desperately you reek of alcohol."
"I will meet you there in 20 minutes?"
I apparated into my room and made it to the washroom.
A few girls entered in after me, "Did you hear? Not only did Alicia break up Ominis and Poppy she is still sleeping with Sebastian."
"Where did you get this from? Any woman who would pick Sebastian over Ominis is a fool. He comes from money and a powerful family and he is sinfully handsome. He could have me in any way he wanted."
"Poppy told me she had caught Sebastian and Alicia redhanded. She had heard Alicia screaming and went to investigate and saw them together."
My face flushed with anger. How dare she I knew she was upset with me. But if she had seen us she would have known instantly it wasn't consensual. She did nothing to stop it and used it as ammo instead.
What kind of person comes across someone getting raped and just walks away.
I waited until the girls left before stepping out of the shower getting myself ready to visit the place where it happened.
Anger pulsed through me that Sebastian had tainted any fondness  I had for that room.
Sighing I headed out, knowing the corridors and halls would be full of whispers about me again.
Some girls glared at me while the boys whistled and catcalled
I rushed into the undercroft. A loud booming voice came out of the potrait.
