🥀 - Chapter 22 -🌹

(Ominis Perspective)
After our visit to Anne i apparated Helena and me to the undercroft. I walked with her to the slytherin common room and hung my coat on the coat rack in the hall, and walked to my own dorm.

''Helena goodnight, I'll see you tomorrow''

I said as I stood at her bedroom door, but there was no reply.
So i stumbled to my own room.

I heard soft rumbling and footsteps and I knew right away who was in my room.

*why does this not surprise me...*.

I opened the door.

''Helena, what are you doing in my room. It's bedtime''

I heard her giggle.

''I know that! I was on my way''.

I sighed deeply and took off my clothes, grabbed my pyjama bottoms and walked towards her.

My hands grabbed her arms ''I take it you want to sleep here tonight?''

''If you don't mind, your bed is so nice''

*you probably mean in my arms you're snug*

I got into bed and opened my arms ''come on then''.

She crawled into bed giggling and joined me. I felt her warm face onto my chest as her hair tickled at my arm. Her arm wrapped around my stomach and she rubbed her face even further into my chest. She felt comfortable, I noticed by her breathing, calm and composed.

I gave her a kiss on her forehead as I stroked her hair.

*I love you*

''Goodnight Lena''.

''Goodnight Omi''.

My nerves were very present during the night. I had moments when I could sleep and moments when I was awake. Helena had rolled over to her own side of the bed and mumbled something in her sleep.

''biscuit, no, don't steal my cookies.''

I chuckled at hearing her dream, she had told me about biscuit the Mooncalf she had rescued and was allowed to keep by Garnuff the goblin. It was a Mooncalf with quite a personality, biscuit loved chocolate cookies and she was always trying to steal them from helena's bag. She had daily battles with biscuit to get those cookies back, because chocolate was not good for her. I had once joined her Vivarium in her Room of requirements. It was a Vivarium with a cold wind and sea sounds. I heard her footsteps running through the puddles of water after the Mooncalf to retrieve the bag of cookies.

I smiled at the memory and crawled next to Helena to unwind.
I felt a rough and chapped spot on her back and ran my fingers along it.

*how did she get this scar, tomorrow I will ask her*

I wrapped my arm around her waist and put my face in her neck.
I took a deep breath and tried to regain calm and composure by following her breathing.

(Helena perspective)
It was monday and we had a new class on our schedule this week.

As i was walking with Imelda and Ominis to the classroom we saw multiple people push and pull each other to look in the classroom we were about to enter. We tried to push the other students aside but they weren't stepping back at all.

''what is that in his hands?'' someone said confused.

''Probably a plant or something'' someone else responded.
