Falling For The Right One, A Hogwarts Fanfic Love Story

Avoidence

*Alicia POV*

I made my way into my room, it had been the only time I was greatful that boys couldn't enter the girls rooms.
My emotions were all over the place, my jealousy and newly made insecurities were raging like dragonfire through my body.
Annes body was the opposite of mine, I wondered if he prefered hers over mine. I had been trying to accept their closeness
But I was starting to feel like the third wheel in our courtship.
As much as I wanted to dislike Anne for this situation I couldn't.
She respected our courtship even though she potentially still had feelings for him.
Out of everyone she was the closest girl friend I have ever had.
I quickly threw the belongings I needed to take with me. Picking up my coin purse I was tempted to pay for a carriage in order to avoid Ominis. He would be waiting at the train station for me, he wouldn't suspect me of paying such a large amount in order to avoid him.
Sebastian had invited me to come to feildcroft but it was the first time the trio would get to spend spring break together I didn't want to impose.
Sighing I jumped onto my bed, wondering if I should just stay here. But I also didn't want to be stuck with having to adhere to a curfew. I would be alone either way, as all of my friends were going back home.
I didn't even know where to begin with this third trial.
How could I possibly be okay with stripping someone of their magic?
I wouldn't even wish that on my worst enemy, my frustration grew I needed to make some kind of decision.
I threw on my light cloak and apparated to the carriages that lined up in front of the gates.
Placing a few gallions into the drivers hands I asked to be taken to Camden London my small flat was waiting for me.
I wanted to feel guilty about leaving without at least saying goodbye to Ominis, but I couldn't.
He had upset me greatly and I needed time to fully think on our courtship. What if I was just getting in the way of his true love, she had been by his side through the toughest parts of his life. She had been the first to give him a chance. A new outlook on life,
Tears fell down my face as Hogwarts grew smaller in my vision.
I couldn't help but feel like I was saying goodbye to the life I had wanted with Ominis.
It was dusk by the time we made it into Camden. The coachman let me off next to an old brick building. Moss had embedded it's self into the cracks. The bricks a faded red from the years of weather it had endured.
Ivy had started from the ground and made it's way up ensaring the window seals and rafters.
A birds nest was tucked into one of the arches of the roof.
Welcome home I said to myself as I entered the main hall, stopping at the door with the letter three on it.
This was the first time we could use magic outside of school so I didn't even bother taking my old iron key out and casted Alohomora.
I softly opened the door trying to avoid they loud skreetch the heavy wooden door made against the floorboards of my apartment.
Stepping in I closed the door and lit my candles around the apartment. A layer of dust covered most everything, my plants were in dire straights. It looked like the hostel owner hadn't kept up with her deal of watering the plants.
I quickly tidied up I didn't want to sleep in a room full of dust.
The kitchen faced the window the streetposts dim lighting filtered through my curtains.
A table sat in the corner big enough for just two people.
A sofa and a chair were sat across it I often preferred the chair but figured a sofa wouldn't hurt to have. As if I were to ever recieve a friend or a guest here.
A small door led to the washroom next to the sofa,
On the other side of the room was my bed that my trunk was not stationed at the feet of it.
I was feeling a little peckish but knew I had no food here. I cursed myself for not stopping for a short trip for groceries. I had just wanted to get away from everything and everyone.
I sank into the chair, kicking my feet up onto the footstool
I needed to get washed up but I would do it later I just wanted to linger in this silence.
Even when I left Sebastian for Ominis my feelings were not as haywire as they are now.
It never bothered me when I caught Seb checking other women out anymore.
Frustrated with my mind I got up and made my way to the washroom and than quicky made my way to bed. Drinking a sleeping drought before I made my way under the covers.

I woke up to sunlight streaming in from the cracks inbetween the curtains.
I drowsily got myself dressed into a plain brown dress and threw a matching cloak on. The wind always seemed sharper in the cities, I needed a good cup of coffee and some breakfast and I made my way to my most favorite place in Camden outside of the library.
Mia's Bakery was skillfully carved into a golden colored piece of wood. The bell rang as I entered the door and the front clerk smiled as I walked in.
My mouth watered as the smells of fresh out of the oven pastries assaulted my nose.
I smiled as I looked over the menu even though I knew what I was getting.
And so did the store clerk when he put a pot of coffee on my table with the fixings. A plate full of scrambled eggs with thick fluffy french toast next to them.
I thanked him and paid for my meal.
I dug into my food like a ravenous beast.
Once I finished I slowly sipped on my coffee and watched as people walked by.
Was this always to be my life, a life where I held no connections to anyone.
I had already sacrificed so much to be worthy of the magic I carried in myself.
Would I remain watching people come and go from my life.
