Love is blind - a Hogwarts Legacy fanfiction
" 'Promise me,' I said, as I started to notice his body just inches away from mine. He frowned as he looked down on me. 'Promise you what, Ava?' That way of saying my name- again. My breath was shaky as I whispered, closer to hip lips. 'Promise you won't do it. Promise that you won't marry her.' He lent a bit more forward and I felt his also racing heart beat against my own chest. I couldn't bear having him so close, not being able to touch his lips with mine before he said the words. I could see in his milky eyes that his mind was getting more blank by the feeling of my fingers that had found his hair. 'Please,' I asked, and he took one, long breath. 'I promise, I will-' but that was all I needed before I pressed my eager lips against his, gripping his hair more tightly and pulling him closer than I ever had before." Ava Dijkstra is in her last year of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the year she must decide how she will fulfill the rest of her life; stay close to her muggle roots or choose another, magical path. As she find herself struggle with her closest friend Sebastian, because of their dark past together, there is also another feeling. A feeling toward the man she never even liked the slightest before.
