Falling For The Right One, A Hogwarts Fanfic Love Story

The reckoning

*Alicias POV*

I procrastinated on making my way to the great hall. I stood in the shower until the water ran cold covering my body in goosebumps until Natsai nearly dragged me out.
I dressed in a deep purple dress it was rather plain in design but hugged my new found curves accentuating them. If I was to have my heart broken today I might as well look beautiful for it.
As we entered the great hall Natsai squeezed my hand as our eyes found our table full of our friends. My stomach dropped when I saw Anne and Ominis sitting next to one another his arm wrapped around her waist.
I wanted to turn and just head to my first class avoiding the situation at hand. "Ali don't let them see you weak, Ominis is a fool he does not deserve to know how much he is breaking you."
I smiled and squeezed her hand back as we manuvored ourselves to the table.
As soon as Ominis saw me he blinked and quickly withdrew his arm from Anne, her face quickly turned into a frown until she noticed Natsai and I.
Seb pulled out the chair next to him waving me to sit next to him.
I refused to make eye contact with Ominis and quickly sat down placing a few pastries on my plate before digging in. Conversations grew Natsai talked about her trip back home and Garreth told us about all the shenanigians he got into.
Professor Blacks quickly interupted all of the conversations in the great hall.
"Students I would like to announce that from this point on my son Xavior Black will be your headmaster next year so for the remaining time this year he will be shadowing me. I nearly spat out the coffee I had just sipped into my mouth. Seb and Natsai looked at me quite puzzled but returned their attention to headmaster Black.
I expect all of you to show him the same respect you have all given me. With no further introductions Xavior it is time to meet your new students."
His tall but well muscled frame came out from behind a door his black hair gleamed in the light and his blue eyes scanned the room until they met mine and a small smirk formed on his lips.
"It is with greatest honor that I have been given such an oppurtunity, I look forward to getting to know as many of you as I can. I will do my best to make sure all of you recieve a quality education."
The crowd clapped and quickly returned to their gossip and eating.
I had quite lost my appetite knowing I had bedded the man who would be our headmaster next year.
While everyone was engourged in their tales I quickly made my move to slip out of the great hall unnoticed.
The silence set me at ease as I headed towards the divination room. It was the only class that I took that none of my friends did.

*Ominis POV*

I was mildly irritated that Alicia wouldn't even look at me, I had been filled to the brim with nerves as I awaited her arrival.
The only thing that was keeping me from unraveling was Annie I had pulled her close in order to calm myself, I regretted doing so when Alicia walked in and pain flashed across her face when she saw Anne and I.
I wanted to hate myself in the end I knew one of them would get hurt and my selfishness of wanting them both was unfair but I was unwilling to let either one go.
When Headmaster Black introduced his son I had noticed Alicia had looked shocked and her complexion pailed. But I was quickly drawn into a conversation with Garreth and Seb,
My eyes wandered back to Alicia but I noticed she was no longer there. I went to get up but Anne tugged me back down. "Ominis I don't think she is ready to talk to you or she would have asked you to escort her. We have caused her a great deal of pain Ominis let her come to you at her own time."
I wanted to ignore her advice she was right.
Alicia knew that Anne and I had been doing more than just reconnecting at Fieldcroft. She had only had a few days to process it, it would be unfair of me to push this conversation.
Students began to trickle out of the great hall and not long after our friend group dispersed. Seb and I headed to the care of magical beasts class.
"The Blacks must be rather proud to now have two generations that have been headmasters. I can't imagine the next social events will be easy to bare."
Sebs pace slightly quickened
"We shall never hear the end of it, sadly it still won't change their position in society."
"I ran into Ali yesterday, she finished her trials and boy did it change her."
"I had wondered she did look a bit different today. Not that she afforded me the chance to fully look at her."
My frustration leaked out in my voice.
Seb noticed and stilled for a second.
"Ominis you need to make up your mind very soon,
Learn from my own mistakes. I lost Ali because I didn't make her my top priority.
She loves you enough to give you the time to figure out your feelings before she walks away.
I am happy for you whoever you choose but it's time, I do hope you pick my sister we would truely be brothers.
But you promised to be better than me so be better lets get to class."
Seb returned to his fast pace and made it to the class.
My mind was all over the place by the time class ended I had learned nothing.
It pissed me off that Seb was right I couldn't continue to have both Alicia and Anne I needed to make up my mind.
I knew Anne was expecting me but the urge to go to the boathouse completely took over. I would never bring Anne there, the boathouse was for Alicia and me alone.
I could see her sitting at the edge of the dock her red hair glowed in the sunlight, my heart began to race. It was the first time we would be alone since she left the gala.
I almost wanted to turn around how do you choose between two women that gave me love that was so vastly different in ways.
Alicia's love was like a raging wildfire, consuming everything in it's path she was fiercely loyal and understanding. She wasn't scared to fight for the people she loved and the things she wanted. A force to be reckoned with, with her I felt invincible as if I could do anything and knew she would always support me.
But Anne was my first love when no one else cared she did, she glued herself to me and defended me against the other students who found it enjoyable to insult me.
She was there for me when no one else was, even though so many people told her she was being a fool. That being my friend would only bring her into harms way, even Seb tried to end the friendship between Anne and I. No matter how down I was Anne would always lift me right back up she could read me like a book.
How do I begin to make a choice but I had run out of time as I stepped next to her.
She looked up at me her grey eyes were filled with emotions turning them into a stormy grey color.
"Fancy seeing you here." Is all I could get out. I wanted to kick myself this wasn't a usual conversation. I quickly sat down next to her, putting my hands in my pockets I was afraid to touch her in case she would find it unwanted.
"It seems that we always find ourselves here when important things that need discussing. She slightly smiles at me, and than I notice  the differences in her and it almost knocks the breath out of me
Well I guess if you are ready to tell me what you have decided you are free to get straight to the point.

*Alicias POV*

My heart felt like it was going to beat it's way out of my chest as I waited for his reply, I tried so hard to build walls over my feelings hoping to lesson the blow I was going to feel.
His eyes were fixed on mine I could tell his emotions were raging inside him.
"I never thought I would ever be in this situation Alicia, I was never expecting Anne to ever come back I thought any feelings I had for her were gone. You captivated me eintirely since the first day we met. I was wholey enamered by you, as you and Seb grew closer I told myself you would never have me.
No matter my feelings for you only grew stronger and deeper for you, I couldn't bare how easily he risked your safety or how easily he would hurt you just to satisfy his ego.
When you finally became mine it was the happiest I had ever been, you filled the part of me that had been missing. How could I give what we have up so easily. I have never felt this way before, I will always love you Alicia you are still the one I burn for.
His words burned into me each word setting me at ease even hope began to fill me maybe he was choosing to be with me.
However Alicia I can't let go of the possibilities Anne and I have, we still have unfinished business and I owe it to her to explore that connection. I fully know what I have with you and this moment could be one that I will regret for the rest of my life.
But I promised you I would be better than Sebastian and in order to do so I need to let you go and not try to keep you at my side while also being with Anne."
Any hopes I had vanished instantly, I wanted to scream and yell at him I had opened myself bare to him and it wasn't enough. I could feel the pieces of my heart that were barely holding together shatter. Tears weiled up in my eyes but I forced them to stop he would not see me weak,
I quickly got up and left him at the dock.
I absently wandered around the castle trying to hold myself together, I made my way to the lower levels when I heard a crash in a room not to far from me.
A dark figure quickly ran out of the room and apparated. I ran to the classroom finding Azalias lifeless body on the floor her cold blue eyes left staring at the ceiling.
