The Secrets I Keep (Ominis Gaunt X Fem MC)

Gryffindor's Best Duelist

Sebastian's POV

We stayed under the shade for a while to relax. Penelope had sent an owl to her Aunt to let her know she was okay and if we could miss our next class. She was okay with us missing just one. I smiled seeing how Penelope sat in between Ominis's legs. He was much taller than her so it was funny to see his long legs bent and crossed over her in a protective manner. I was happy for my friends and I was even more happy Ominis finally gave into his feelings for her.

Ominis held her close by wrapping his arms around her and leaning his head down on her shoulder, while she read to him. Ominis wasn't a fan of public affection, or even grabbing a girl in such a manner. Now that he is with Penelope he's changed his opinion and he seems to not be able to keep his hands off of her. I worked so hard to fight off my demons and keep them safe. They were not only my best friends but my family.

"Have you and Penelope carved your name on a tree yet" Wendy giggled watching Ominis look confused.

"No not yet" Penelope answered.

"What is she talking about?" Ominis asked curiously.

"For muggles carving your initials on a tree with a heart around them is common for those who are dating" Penelope smiled as she caressed Ominis's cheek.

"Well I'd carve the whole forest to show the world how much I love you" Ominis kissed the top of Penelope's head as Penelope laughed.

"Alright alright love birds" I chuckled.

"Isn't it nice to be out here with the most beautiful girls in Hogwarts Ominis" I leaned my elbows back relaxing.

"Well I'm blind Sebastian if you can't remember. I only know how Penelope looks like, but I'm not saying you are not beautiful Wendy. In fact I've heard some people say how pretty you are"

"Forgive me if I offend you Ominis, but how do you know what Penelope looks like if you cannot see?" Wendy tilted her head towards Ominis. A finger gently laying over her lips with curiosity in her eyes.

"Well my dear I could see with touch" Ominis laughed as he caressed Penelope's cheek. "I felt Penelope's face to see her facial features"

"Yeah he's always been to shy to ask. It took him almost a year to ask me and my sister to touch our face. He is so nervous to ask everyone else in our group." I chuckled remembering how flustered Ominis had gotten when he asked.

"I see... would you like to see what I look like" at that moment I realized I'd be eating my own words. I looked over to Ominis who's eyes widened in shock that she had even asked such a daring question. Penelope nodded and stood up sitting next to me.

"May... may I" Ominis said nervously. Wendy stood up and kneeled in front of him and gently tapped the top of his hand to let him know she was going to grab him without startling him. She then grabbed his hands and brought them over her face.

I looked over to Penelope who was smiling lovingly at the moment they shared while I scrunched my face at the idea. Ominis gently glided his fingers over her whole face. He was taking too much time if you asked me.

"Could you smile for me Wendy... unless it's too much to ask"

"Not at all" Wendy smiled happily as Ominis glided his fingers to the corners of her mouth.
