*Sebastians POV*

I woke up groaning, last night had been a nightmare.
Ominis had stormed into the room and had woken me up out of a dead sleep in a fit of rage.
He couldn't believe his innocent Anne would drink herself into a stupor.
He hadn't realised that Anne had also changed in the time away.
She was confident and healthy and she had a whole life to look forward too. She was no longer the cautious girl we knew back than.
My heart filled with joy knowing that she wasn't on borrowed time anymore,
I was also pleased that he was upset with Alicia his anger showed that he still cared very deeply for Anne, it could cause fissures in his courtship with Alica. To where I could break open those fissures and take back what was mine. Without even having to lift a finger.
I smiled as I headed off to the washroom,
Before I entered Anne abruptly dragged me to a corner of the hall.
"Sebby I am wondering how many more secrets you have to lay bare. When were you going to tell me that Ominis would be forced to wed Saraphina if he was not bethrothed before the end of this term." She spat out disgusted her hatred for Saraphina was almost as grest as Alicias.
"Firstly my dear sister it is no secret about the arrangement his parents have made for him. There are even bets going on who he will end up bethrothed too even your name has now been added."I touseled her hair like I always did.
Anne scowled and pushed my hand away making me chuckle as her face filled with annoyance.
"I had hoped Ominis with time would come back to me, he told me not to give up hope for that future but now I only have six months.
I don't have the luxury of time anymore. I would much rather him be wed to Alicia than Saraphina but I would rather be the one he is bethrothed too.
We were made for one another, where I stop he begins.
As much as I love Alicia, I know in the end I will have to hurt her in the end.
They say love is this beautiful emotion, but I don't think so I think it's selfish and demanding. Not caring who gets hurt in the process,
Love is so much more complex than just being happy."
I nodded in agreement, I always enjoyed hearing how Anne saw the world around us, she saw the world for what it was.
"Well with this enlightened conversation I am leaving your side to wash up I will see you in the great hall."

*Annes POV*
My head was filled with so many different emotions it overwhelmed me. Thankfully Ominis had put a headache drought on my bedside table or else I would have remained in bed all day.
I smiled he had always been so thoughtful of the people he cared about.
It always deeply upset me when people couldn't get past his last name.
As I walked past a long corridor memories of our first year here played out in my mind.
Seb and I were standing together on the ourskirts of the crowd, the crowd began to disperse. I had stood on my tiptoes thinking maybe Headmaster Black had made his way outside.
But instead it was a boy my age. He had such a pale complection, his form was frail it looked like his uniform swallowed him completely.
His blonde hair swept back  perfectly in place.
His lips were settled in an excited and nervous smile, I took a double take when I noticed how his eyes were fogged over.
Curiousity flooded into my body, I went to walk towards this boy before Sebastian pulled me back. "No Anne, he comes from a very prestigious family but they are wicked as wicked could get. Do not assosiate yourself with him. He will only bring harm to your life.
The sorting hat was done we all had been sorted into Slytherin, I couldn't keep my eyes off this fellow slytherin, I sped up and took the chair next to him before my brother could pull me back up.
"Hi my name is Anne Sallow, whats yours?"
His face turned towards me, "Ominis Gaunt, I fully understsnd if you would rather sit anywhere else now that you know who I am."
His voice was soft almost soothing in a way. I did know of his families reputation but I wasn't going to judge him for his family.
"Nope I think right here is just fine." Our conversation continued until we had to seperate to go to bed
Our friendship blossomed, many people including Sebastian didn't want me to assosiate with him, but I refused to abandon him. I even jinxed a girl for talking badly of him. We had become inseperatable 
Where he was I was next to him.
Sebastian had warmed up to him after we had began courting.
I tucked those memories back in and made it to the great hall.
The noises of breakfast and conversations enveloped me as I walked in.
My stomach growled at the smell of crepes and eggs and bacon.
At one table Alicia,Natsai,Poppy and Garreth sat talking amoungst themselves. Alicia was sliding her food back and forth on her plate. As if she had no appetite.

At another table Ominis and Sebastian sat next to each other.
I was torn, as much as I wanted to sit with the girls I knew I had to pick sitting with Ominis and Sebastian.
Guilt ate away at me knowing that drawing this line would show that I was still very much in love with Ominis. That I wasn't giving up on him. I knew it would hurt Alicia, but love is selfish I couldn't let anyone get in the way of the love Ominis and I shared.
Right now Alicia was new to him, a shiney new toy but eventually he would find his way back to me.
My cheeks turned into a slight blush as I sat next to Ominis.
"I'm glad to see you in better conditions than last night." Ominis spoke to me. His voice was still so soft but was made more alluring with how mature his voice sounded.
"Yes much better in fact I smiled at him, all thanks to you Ominis. Even with all this time between us you still take care of me. I am in your debt, whatever you need from me I will give."
His cheeks slightly blushed at the meaning behind my words.
Sebastian fake heaved,"I'm headed over there I don't need to be apart of this." He laughed as he walked over and sat next to Alicia.
Ominis's eyes followed and his mouth twisted into a slight scowl.
"Ominis I did want to speak with you. Last night was not Alicia's fault at all. I knew there was fire whiskey in the hot chocolate and decided to drink it.
She didn't force me too. I just wanted to enjoy something I never got the chance too."
"Its admirable of you to stand up for her Anne, but she did wrong in my eyes even if it was slight."
"I was thinking about going to Hogsmeade today, there are some supplies I need to pick up.
I have a grand idea how about we all go to Hogsmeade I have been craving a butterbeer while having friendly conversations."
Ominis smiled and nodded we made it over to the table and asked if they wanted to join me for a trip to Hogsmeade.
Everyone happily agreed, Alicia had also agreed to go but I could tell she was conflicted. Ominis and her must have not talked about things yet.
I felt bad for being happy that they were at odds. But if I wanted the only man I would ever love I had to fight for him.
Our love was worth it. But I would also fight fairly.
