Taia's pov

you sighed kicking off your shoes and curling under the covers of your bed embracing the silence and solitude that has engulfed the room. 

Lonely nights were all you knew before you came to Hogwarts, the cold sheets of your once empty bed greeted you coldly in the evening. your mind and thoughts were your only companion, mercilessly tethering you into a world of seclusion and melancholy. 

In those moments of vulnerability the weight of loneliness became most prominent, as all you longed for was the warmth of another person's touch, a soothing voice, or simply the reassurance that you were not alone in this world. You had gotten accustomed to it at some point, wallowing in the loses you lived through your life almost every night. 

You closed your eyes pulling the blanket over your head with a heavy breath. to say you were feeling conflicted right now is an understatement. the happiness and friendship you had found in these two was now shrouded with doubt and disappointment. their words echoed over and over in your mind, hoping to find it in your heart to forgive them or maybe try to understand their perspective.

'what should I do?' the question kept repeating it self in your mind over and over.

Maybe loneliness was not so bad afterall, perhaps that was your destiney from the beginning...In the depths of despair, as you laid in bed consumed by sadness, the face of Ominis flickered through your mind like waves of reassurance. 

You needed him just as much as he needed you, the fated encounter between the both of you may have been by chance but not by accident. entwined by an unbreakable bond that transcended time and space, you found solace in him, you found love and peace, you found your home. 

Loneliness was an empty word after you met him, he brought so much warmth and kindness into your once cold heart, reviving you with his sweet words and soft touches, his warm smile and kindred soul. He was everything you had been unknowingly missing, he truly was your light in this vast darkness.

In His embrace, your vulnerabilities were embraced, fears dissolved, and insecurities vanished. His love and care was not just a simple desire or thirst, but an essential need that breathed life into your own existence. 

A ghost of a smile hugged at the curves of your lips, you were not alone anymore. no matter who comes and goes in your life, he was still there. 

Your lover, your betrothed, your soulmate, he was still here. 

The happy thoughts of him seeped slowly into your heart, dissolving the ice that was starting to build up around it in a moment of weakness. you found your arms slowly lifting the blanket off of you in a hurried movement, the need to see him overpowering any other thought that was attempting to haunt your mind right now. your breathing got quicker as you made to turn around in bed, when suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps reverberated through the silence of the room. Before you could fully comprehend the commotion, Ominis burst into the room with a flurry of worry and concern etched across his face.
