The Darkest Enchantment

CHAPTER 16: Blooming Desire

Y/n's POV

There he was! Looking like himself again, with a beaming smile etched on his handsome face, coming to meet her on their spot in front of the window. The very same spot they had met two years ago. He didn't even wait to say good morning, immediately crushing her lips in a blood-boiling kiss.

That earned them a few whistles and some gagging sounds from a group of second years, but they couldn't care less.

"Missed you," he said after a while.

"I haven't noticed," she teased, rolling her eyes. "Did you have a good time yesterday?" she asked, her arms still wrapped around him.

His response was another tender kiss, saying more than words ever could.

"Go find a room, you two!" Imelda's annoyed voice echoed from another part of the common room.

Y/n sighed, feeling a slight reluctance to pull away. Taking Ominis' hand, they started making their way towards the Great Hall for breakfast.

"You know you can't ignore me forever," Imelda called after them as they passed by without acknowledging her.

"We'll see about that," answered y/n without bothering to turn in her direction.

During breakfast, y/n confessed to Ominis that after she left him the previous day, she ran into Andrew on her way to Quidditch training and that she also sent him on a fake date to the Astronomy Tower, knowing he would find Amit there.

Ominis thought it was hilarious, but he also expressed concern that both Amit and Andrew might hold a grudge against y/n now. Feeling responsible for his part in the prank, he insisted on talking to them to smooth things over.

Y/n suspected that he also wanted to take the opportunity to let Amit and Andrew know about their courting. She smiled at the thought, knowing it would save her from any more unwanted advances.

She checked at the Ravenclaw table where both guys were sitting together. Andrew was leaning in and whispering something into Amit's ear. Sensing the right moment, Ominis stood up and walked over to them.

Y/n couldn't hear their conversation, but things were not going as she expected. Ominis spoke, and both Amit and Andrew looked visibly nervous and afraid. Ominis had a way of intimidating people with his words, but then something surprising happened. Amit stood up and gestured for Ominis to follow him away from the tables. Y/n's curiosity grew as she watched this unfold.

Amit looked extremely nervous, fidgeting with his robes and scratching the back of his head as he tried to explain something to the Slytherin guy. Then, to her surprise, Ominis started to smile, and he patted Amit's shoulder as if congratulating him for something, they shook their hands and returned to the tables.

As Ominis settled back into his seat, he looked quite pleased with himself. Y/n glanced over at the Ravenclaw table again and both Amit and Andrew waved at her.

"What in Merlin's beard was that about?" she asked Ominis.

"Let's just say they won't hold that prank against us. It seems like we actually did them a favour," Ominis replied with a mysterious grin.

After the breakfast she wanted nothing more than to drag Ominis to the Undercroft. But today's schedule was unforgiving and N.E.W.T.s were getting so close...

„Good Morning my little flowers! It is so nice to see you all again!" Professor Garlick's enthusiastic voice was echoing throughout the classroom. The temperatures in the greenhouses forced the students to remove their robes.
