"Oh MC, I completely forgot to tell you, Ominis wanted to talk to you earlier, said he'd had something important to tell you." Sebastian scratched the top of his head.

"Yea? Did you happen to know what about?" I asked, as curious as I was, and closed by book.

We had been studying in his dorm for a quite a while now and we are both laying on his bed, me close to the top and him rather at the bottom.

"Not really, but I suppose it must be quite serious." He shrugged.

"Do you perhaps have an idea about his whereabouts?"

"I'd say the Library or the Undercroft. He spends most of his time there because not many people are around."

"Ah well I could have thought of that myself." I chuckled before getting up from his bed, "I will go look for him and be back in about an hour okay?"

"No problem, take your time." He smiled at me briefly before looking down at his book again.

At first, I take a look in the Undercroft, which was completely empty and then I nearly ran into the library, hoping he hadn't moved in his place yet.

I sat down in front of Ominis at his table in the library and smiled, seeing him reading a book with the help of his wand.

"MC, what do I owe the pleasure?" He asked before averting his blind eyes from the book.

I furrowed my brows, "How did you know it was me? I didn't say anything."

Ominis let out a low chuckle, "You have got this special scent and the way you sit down. You pull out the chair, sit down on it sideways and then slide closer to the table."

"Seems like you know me quite well. But I do have to ask now, what scent?" I leaned my chin onto my hands and looked at him intently.

"Firewood, Mint and," He took a breath in, "those Cookies you love so much. But right now, I can also smell Sebastian on you and it is enfeebling your smell." He scrunched his nose upwards slightly.

"Sebastian?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Yes." He leaned back in his chair slightly and crossed his hands in front of his body, "I have to ask, are you and him...involved?" He emphasized the last word.

I raised an eyebrow and cocked my head to the side a little.

"Do not act so shocked, you spend much of your time with him and both of you carry each other's scent almost eveeywhere. I just want to know."

"No, me and him are not involved. He is one of the best friends I have made here since I have been in Hogwarts. I have had a hard time adjusting with everything happening and he has been a good help. So I can assure you, there is nothing more than Friendship between us." I explained and it felt like I had to defend myself from him.

"Ah, well, good to hear." He dipped his head lower and as much as he tried to conceal it, a small smile appeared on his lips.

"However, I came here because Sebastian said you wanted to talk to me about something serious." I changed the topic quickly, shaking myself out of thought.

"Ah yes, I just needed to tell you something before Gareth Weasley could." His voice became lower and his body demeanor changed in a second.

"Gareth Weasley? What does he want to talk to me about?"

"He fancies you." He said briefly and an immediate blush covered my cheeks.

Now I was very grateful that Ominis was blind.

"Uhm well," I began, though I didn't really know how to continue the sentence, "I don't know what to say."

Ominis leaned forward in his chair again and his lifeless eyes locked to hers while his hands rested comfortably against the table, "Is the feeling mutual perhaps?" He questioned.

I thought for a moment, Gareth Weasley was a friend to me, nothing more and nothing less. If only Ominis knew that he was the one I actually liked.

"No, he is a friend and I don't see him as anything more." I shook my head briefly.

"Ah well, then what I am about to tell you, might not be as bad."

"Go on?"

"MC, you are by far the kindest and most good-hearted person I know and from the moment I first met you, I knew you had me in the palm of your hand...What I am trying to say is, that I am hopelessly devoted and utterly in love with you."

My eyes widened in awe.

He replies my feelings?

I stayed quiet for a moment, watching Ominis playing with his long fingers nervously.

"Please, MC, say something. Tell me I can not have you and I shall forget whatever I have in mind about you." He said in a plea.

"I can not do that." I said just above a whisper.

"What?"

"I can not tell you to forget your feelings because I have waited an eternity for you to confess. I feel the same, though I do not understand how I am worthy of your love if you can not even see me."

A smile beamed onto his lips, "I do not need to see you to know that you are the most beautiful woman I will ever know. And I love you for your kind heart, your smartness and thoughtfulness, not because of the way you look, my dear."

I got off my chair and walk around the table to sit down on the seat next to him. I carefully placed a hand onto his tensed ones and he immediately relaxed.

"Oh Ominis, your way with words is really enough for the both of us." I chuckled softly.

He turned his head towards me and smiled softly, "May I ask you another question then?"

"Please, anything." I nodded.

"May I take you out on Friday evening?"

I snickered lightly, "Depends, what do you plan on doing to me?"

He thought for a moment, "At first, I will take you out to dinner in the three broomsticks and we will sit at one of the tables with a dimly lit candle. You will look more beautiful than ever and I won't believe how unbelievably lucky I got with you. Then, when the Sun has kissed the sky goodbye and the moon has come, I will bring you back to Hogwarts and then to your common room. Right before you will leave, I will steal a kiss a from you and leave the feeling of my lips lingering on yours for the night. So I visit you in your dreams. Does that sound pleasant enough for you, my dear?"

"The most pleasant. I am already looking forward to it." I smiled wide and my cheeks painted themselves with deep pink blush, "And when we are in the three broomsticks, I would love to know how long you have been planning this already."

"Long." He whispered, smiling more brightly than ever, "Very long, believe me."
