Ancient: The Legacy of Slytherin

Unsanctioned

Author's note: This is one of my favorite chapters I've written for this book. It is nearly 7k words, but I would have done a disservice to you all by splitting it up. So, pace yourselves and enjoy!

Arabella POV

This whole week was taxing. My body still ached from the after effects of the Cruciatus curse, with my hand occasionally twitching from the phantom feeling. Thanks to Ominis, I wouldn't bear any actual scars. But today was the first time in a while I was actually looking forward to something.

Today was the day of the unsanctioned Quidditch match between Slytherin and Gryffindor.

Since Headmaster Black cancelled Quidditch this year, the top two teams decided to organize something of their own off campus and just for bragging rights. I promised Sebastian, Imelda, Garreth and Natty that I would been there. Ominis was less enthusiastic, but he agreed to go.

After I wore him down a bit.

Earlier that week...

"Ominis, please! It's important to Sebastian, we should be there to support him and our house." 

"It's unsanctioned, Arabella! I don't intend on tying Sebastian's detention record any time soon." 

"Then do it for me." He threw his head back as we sat on the common room couch and groaned. 

"Ugh, that's not fair!" 

"Please." 

"No."

"Pretty please."

"No, Arabella." 

"Ominis you're lucky you can't see my eyes right now because they would be very difficult to say no to. Give me your hand."

He did not hold his hand out, but I grabbed it anyway and brought it up to the puppy dog pout I was making with my lips. "Do you feel that? That's my puppy dog face."

"You insufferable woman. Fine. But if Headmaster Black catches wind of this, I will not use my name to bail anyone out." 

"Yay, thank you!" I placed a big, wet kiss on his lips and the tips of his ears turned red. 

"Darling we're in the middle of the common room!" 

"I don't care. I wanted to kiss you, so I did. Deal with it." 

"Keep this sharp attitude of yours up and I'll give you something to deal with." 

Gods, his tone.

"Don't threaten me with a good time." I smirked and let my hand travel from his knee, up his thigh, inwards a litlle...until he grabbed my wrist deftly. He brought it up to his mouth and placed the most delicate kiss right on my pulse point. Then he turned my wrist so it was horizontal against his lips as he whispered into it. 

"Sweet girl." As the words left his mouth, he sunk his teeth into my wrist like a damned vampire.

"Ow!" I pulled my wrist back sharply as he chuckled. His laugh was contagious, and soon I joined him. 

"That will teach you to keep your hands to yourself!"

Present Day.

I knocked on the door of Ominis and Sebastian's dorm, eager to see who would answer. My heart dropped a bit when the door opened and I was met with honey eyes. 

Three days ago, I told Sebastian that I loved him. And we kissed, again. I finally had Ominis, and he wanted me in the same ways I wanted him, and I was kissing Sebastian.
