Falling For The Right One, A Hogwarts Fanfic Love Story

Release

*Ominis POV*

I had managed to sneak out of the undercroft leaving Anne perfectly tucked into the makeshift bed we had made. My mind was swollen with thoughts and emotions almost to a bursting point.
My thoughts wandered from Alicias scathing words to Annes plea of starting over.
I wandered the darkened empty halls not caring if I was caught out of my dorm past curfew.
My mind consumed me, now that Alicia knew why I had really ended things, I was worried she would be relentless in bringing us back together.
She would be in more danger than she already was if she was to remain courting me. My family was so eager for a marriage as soon as they found out who I was courting. I would never forgive myself if any harm came to her from the connection and love we shared.
She had already dipped her toes into dark magic and I knew she needed to stay away from it. Her power was to great to be turned into darkness.
None the less my heart would always belong to her I will only burn for her. I would never feel this way about anyone else she had invaded every part of me and no one could remove her marks from me.
I wanted to feel guilty knowing that Anne would never have the love she deserved from me. That I was also robbing her the chance of finding someone who would love her as deeply as I used too.
But as I had found out she knew this before she accepted my courtship. She knew she no longer had my heart, that we were only held together by a thread made from our past memories.
My footsteps echoed down the desolate hallways with an unknown destination. My mind wandered back to Alicia wondering if she was curled up in her bed was she thinking of me was her mind a twisted mess like mine?
Did her heart still burn for me as mine did for her.
I was nearly knocked off my feet when the floor jolted and started to move, I hadn't noticed that I had stepped onto the moving staircase.
I was angered by now with thoughts of Alicia, I had done my best to protect her and yet she signed herself up for more danger. The Pure would get found out sooner or later without her aid.
Why should she always have go sacrifice herself for wizard kind, why did she have to be the hero.
I continued my wandering once the staircase stopped.
"Ominis Gaunt what a surprise it is to find you wandering the castle past curfew, I could dock points for your house.
I looked at the man in front of me and my anger only increased as he sized me up. Xavior Black was the last person I wanted to lay my eyes on. The image of him and Alicia was still a fresh memory in my mind.
But I'm feeling rather generous tonight, in fact I owe many thanks to you. If you had not broke her heart she wouldn't be coming to me for comfort and other things."
A smirk splayed across his lips as he looked at me, while he waited to see my reaction.
"You must be a desperate man to go after someone who is irrevicably broken. I wonder if you simply lack that ability to woo a woman who is of sound mind."
Xavior chuckled at my response, "you misjudge me Gaunt I have no issues in that area women fall to my feet whenever I want.  Alicia might be broken but she is no ordinary woman. She is the most powerful witch in our time, but there is so much more to her than her magic, I intend to learn everything  about her.
She does not see my as a suiter yet but in due time she will.
Which has been made possible by you so I will let you off with a warning Gaunt. It's best you be off to your dorm."

With that Xavior walked away I wanted to run after him and curse him. I knew that is what he wanted, if he truely was after Alicia for marriage he would rid himself of the competition. My stomach churned with the thought of her becoming a Black, their family was just as bad as my own. How was I supposed to convince her to stay away from Xavior.

*Sebastians POV*

It was late when Ominis slipped into our bedroom, his arrival startled me as him and Anne usually stayed in the undercroft together. "What ya doing here Ominis shouldn't you be with Anne?"
Guilt flashed across his face before he carefully hid it from view.
" I had went for a walk and got caught by Xavior Black. His spat out his name like it was poisen. He more than alluded that Alicia and him were more than just friendly.
I gave her up to keep her safe from my family, not to have her fall into the hands of another dangerous family."
He paced back and forth in the room, which heavily annoyed me I was not ready to have this conversation with him. My mind couldn't wrap around not only his confession as to why he ended things with Alicia but also about her bedding Xavior.
She was mine to have not anyone else.
"Ominis unbunch your knickers and get to bed we can talk tomorrow when we can properly due so." My voice was filled with irritation.
"It cannot wait Seb we need to talk about this now we can't let her fall into Xaviors wants. We need to come up with a plan to keep her away from him!"
I growled under my breath,
"Ominis go back to the undercroft as of right now all I care about is sleep. Why should I help when you put all this into motion. To top it off my sister is collateral damage from the mistakes you have made. I feel no want to help you. You gave Alicia up you underestimated her fully, she could have withstood your family. So frankly I will not help you clean up the mess you made."
He huffed and slammed the door as he exited our room.

Rushing into the great hall I noticed that the hall was overwhelmingly loud with conversations.
I quickly sat down next to Alicia as I began to fill my plate, "what is going on why is everyone talking it's almost like a madhouse in here."
"Azalia Lestrange was murdered and the killer is still on the loose." Natsai replied
I noticed that Alicia was shuffling her food around her plate and it looked untouched.
Her reaction surprised me, she and Azalia were never close.
I rubbed her shoulder causing her to come out of her daze.
Her grey eyes focoused themselves onto mine.
"I know you well enough to know something is upsetting you but I won't pry." As I drew her in closer to me. She rested her head on my shoulder and leaned in.
Anne smiled when she noticed that Alicia had found comfort with me.
It made me want to vomit, knowing she was only happy because she was hoping Alicia would come back to me. Which would keep her away from Ominis.
"Omi I have a surprise for you meet me at the boathouse after classes?"
Alicia tensed up in my arms ever so slightly and Ominis's gaze wandered to Alicia and thats when it clicked for me.
Their place was the boathouse, Alicia looked away from him and slowly pushed a bite of food into her mouth.
"Does it have to be at the boathouse? Why not the undercroft?"
"My surprise won't work inside the undercroft. Why are you making this difficult? From what I remember it was your favorite place here."
"Things change Anne, I no longer go there."
"You will be there Ominis it's not that big of a deal to make a fuss over. I was excited for today, but you have ruined my mood. Please be in better spirits later, I put in a lot of effort."
Anne got up in a rush and left leaving Ominis at the table,
"I must be off too I need to prep for our potions class." Alicia said. Ominis quickly got up and followed her.

*Annes POV*

My anger overwhelmed me, I hadn't expexted Omi to try and move the surprise somewhere else.
It puzzled me that was the one place he loved most. Anytime he was deep in thought I would find him there. Something was off with the way he reacted and looked at Alicia.
I needed to know why, I decided to head to the potions class hoping to catch Omi before it began.
As I rounded the corner in the dungeons I heard his voice I quickend my pace knowing I would catch him in time but his words stopped me in my tracks.
"Alicia please slow down, we need to talk. Let me explain," Alicias voice replaced his and her words laced with venom. "There is nothing to explain Ominis, you don't owe me one."
I peeked over the corner Alicia was walking away but Ominis grabbed her arm and brought her back to him.
I could see the pain across her face and unshed tears compiling in her eyes.
Subconciously I knew the boathouse was their place, when I began planning this surprise. Guilt and shame flooded my body. Why was I causing more pain to my best friend. I haf already stolen her suiter her lover, I had already rubbed it in her face, and now I was taking their place from her.
"I do Alicia we began there, our love grew there, it's not just a boathouse for us. I want you to know that the memories we made there will never be overshadowed by whatever Anne has planned. I'm sorry I couldn't convince her out of it."
A single tear spilled down Alicias face, "lets get to class Ominis."

I walked quietly away only to run into Seb.
"Hello dear sister you ought to be more aware of your surrondings. I watched you spy on their conversation.
Was your curiousity sated? I begin to wonder if the Anne in front of me is rather changed. The Anne I knew never thrived off someone elses pain." His words bit into me, he was right after all before he killed our uncle I couldn't bring myself to even hurt a fly and here I was punishing my best friend for being the one Ominis loved.
Classes were forgotten and I rushed outside gasping for fresh air.
I made it to the boathouse but I couldn't get myself to ruin what I had created.
Small fairy lights were strung all over that turned into a makeshift canopy over dozens of fluffy thick blankets with pillows strewn across.
The basket filled to the brim with his favorite food and drinks was stored in a corner. Freshy split logs sat by the small fireplace. It was supposed to be our first date as we were starting anew.
It was meant to erase the past memories that were made here with new ones.
A figure cloaked in black apparated next to me.
"I'm afraid you will have to postpone your date." His deep voice rattled out before he casted stupify on me. Everything went black.
