Just An Act

~part ten~!

Prompt: You and Sebastian broke up following the events of 5th year. Now it is 7th year, you and Ominis are together and all seems well… until you and Sebastian are casted as lovers in a play.

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10/FINAL!!

~~

You spent the next few days ignoring your confused heart by drowning yourself in rehearsals and studying. Thank Merlin you had the play to focus on, without it, you’re not sure how you’d be coping right now. Sebastian was fresh in your life again, bringing out emotions you thought were long gone. And on the other hand, you found out the last two years were a lie with Ominis. How did you even manage to get into this situation? You were happy you had Poppy and Natty to help practice in the confines of your own dorm, which was extremely helpful for you to forget your heavy heart, even if it was only for a few hours here and there.

Sebastian, similarly to you, engaged in the same activities. He was determined to make this play perfect for you. At this point, everyone knew he was only doing it for you. If Octavia didn’t let the whole school know, it was very apparent after your little duel in Crossed Wands. His heart fluttered every time the script abruptly stopped, meaning what followed was your kiss. The kiss he dreamed of for the past two years. Even if it was only acting, which he hoped it wasn’t, he was going to treat it like gold. Because he knew this time that it may be your last kiss for good and he was determined to savor it and treasure it. You were the love of his life, even if he wasn’t yours..

Ominis was also determined to make this the best experience for you. He was full of guilt and regrets for everything that had happened. This might be the last time he could do anything for you, and he needed to make sure he left you with one good memory of him. His actions during this play would prove to you that he truly did mean he would change and be authentic. Sure, the thought of sabotaging the ending of the play crossed his mind, but no matter how badly his heart would shatter, he couldnt do that to you. Not this time, not ever again..

~

Today was the day! You woke up feeling both determined and absolutely terrified. It didn’t quite hit you until today that you were kissing your ex-boyfriend in front of your other ex-boyfriend who used to be best friends with each other. ‘What a great girlfriend you were…’ You thought to yourself, chuckling at it. Natty and Poppy came to your room super early so that you guys could all get ready together.

“I’m so nervous!” Poppy exclaimed, attempting to put lipgloss without getting it everywhere.

“Poppy.. You have the least to be worried about” Natty chuckled, nudging you. You laughed, shaking your head “Shut up!”.

“MC! I’d probably be crying if I had to kiss that Sallow boy…I feel so bad for you!” Poppy sighed, completely oblivious to everything, yet again. You and Natty exchanged knowing looks, smiling as a blush crept up on you.

“Yeah..” You responded, your heart fluttering at the mention of Sebastian. You three finished up dolling yourselves up, Natty mostly just being there to hang out with you guys. With your heart in your throat, you started your journey to the auditorium, secretly wondering how Sebastian was feeling about this.

You arrived at the already bustling auditorium, everyone rehearsing their lines and setting up the stage frantically. You parted ways with your girls, before looking around and seeing Ominis hard at work. Your eyes widened, surprised he was still here after everything. You smiled, wishing you could wave at him but it’s not like he’d notice, opting to sit in a corner and reread your lines.

Sebastian was running extremely late. His head was plagued with doubts and worries about this kiss, nevermind what would happen after the kiss. He couldnt get his hair right, his clothes weren’t looking right, nothing was going right!! What if he messed up his lines, or choked up at the kiss. He ran his fingers through his hair, grabbing the script and running out the door. By the time he got to the auditorium, the show was starting in five minutes. He wasn’t ready! Why did he do this again!? His doubts were answered when he looked around and found you. You looked effortlessly gorgeous with your hair done and light makeup to accentuate your features. His heart started to race again, walking towards you and smoothing out his clothes. Normally, Sebastian was confident and cocky, but something about the intensity of this situation altered that immensely.

“Hey..” He greeted, the commotion behind him reminding him of just how soon this was all going down.

“Hey!” You smiled, looking up and already blushing. Your eyes sparkled looking up at him, causing him to swallow hard and fidget with his fingers.

“Good luck.” Was all he could manage to say before being cut off by the Professor calling everyone to the stage. You nodded at him, standing up and walking to your spot on the stage, him following behind as if he was lost.

The show started, curtains opening with you and Sebastian on stage with a few others, all dressed up in character. Although Sebastian always looked good, this time he was dressed in more formal clothes, which gave him a different essence. You could tell he was a man now, not a 5th year boy. The play went effortlessly smooth, the chemistry you and Sebastian had made everything feel so natural. The audience genuinely believed that your two characters were real people, and this wasnt just acting…even though it only half wasnt. Sebastian savored every scene with you, every bit of closeness, and every small touch you two exchanged during the show. Ominis listened with a heavy heart, knowing that you two were doing too good to only be acting. He bit the side of his cheek, holding back whatever motions were trying to flood his mind.

It was finally time, you finished saying your last line which left You and Sebastian just inches away from each other. Your heart felt like to could explode right then and there, and you almost wished you could just disappear right now due to the amount of emotions you were experiencing. Sebastian felt similarly, looking down at you with an admiring gaze. He was so proud of your performance, even helping him when he went off script slightly due to his own nerves. You looked at him with wide eyes, reminding him of the times you two had spent together back in the day. Silence fell upon you both, forgetting there was a whole crowd and Ominis watching you attentively. The spotlight fell on you both, darkness falling on the rest of the stage. Sebastian gave you a very slight look, making sure you were 100% okay with this, the last thing he wanted to do was force you…even if that would leave him with a fractured heart. You gave the slightest nod, barely even being able to breath due to the sheer amount of nerves you had flowing through your body. Without hesitation, Sebastian wrapped his arms around your waist, and you delicately placed yours around his neck sending shivers down his spine. He delicately bent down to your level and placed a passionate kiss on your lips, his heart exploding. You smiled into the kiss, returning it as the memories of him flooded your mind. You realized just how much you missed him, tightening your grasp around his neck. He returned with matching the tightness on your waist, wishing this would never end. Wishing you two didn’t have to part ways after this, wishing it was as simple as going back to normal immediately after.

You two were pulled out of your trance at the cheer from the audience minus one person. Ominis choked up, knowing what was happening and excused himself almost immediately. It took every ounce of his being to not storm off and make a scene. This was your guys’ moment, and he couldnt take anything away from you again. Once he was alone and hidden from wandering eyes, a single tear dropped…which turned into about one hundred shortly after. He knew he had no right to be upset, and this would not effect how he would treat either of you, it wasn’t fair to you guys. Everything he did wasnt fair, which lead him to sobbing even more in the depths of the auditorium.

The curtains closed while you two were still deep in your kiss. The commotion from inside breaking your trance and snapping you back to reality. You parted from each other delicately, both wishing it could have gone on for just a minute longer. You turned, trying to conceal your blush and rapid heart rate. Sebastian’s eyes lingered on you for a minute longer, his heart still beating ungodly fast. Just like that, it was over. All he wanted for the past two years happened…and now it was over for good. He gave a sad smile to you before turning to the other cast members who were now circling around him to line up for a final bow. The curtains opened again, everyone giving a bow while the crowd cheered for you and Sebastian. You smiled, looking over at him to find his gaze was to the ground, and he looked disheartened.

The play officially ended, leading everyone into an immediate cast party. Everyone was circling you with compliments and congratulations while you only had on thing on your mind…where Sebastian was. You looked around for him, realizing he was no where to be found. Your heart stung for a second, thinking that maybe he really was just acting all along. You bit your lip to hide your sadness, and once the crowd dissipated around you, you snuck out into the depths of the castle.

As you walked out, you immediately found a boy out in the hallway alone, a bouquet of flowers in hand. Ominis.. You walked over to him, hoping he was okay, seeing he wasnt celebrating with everyone.

“Hey..” You greeted hesitantly.

“MC…For you..” He offered a sad smile, handing you the small and elegant bouquet, “I…I was growing these for you before everything happened…I thought you should still have them, you did great tonight.” He said, bringing his head up and revealing his tear stained face. You smiled sadly, looking at the flowers and taking them gladly, “Thank you.. it means a lot Ominis.”.

“I hope he treats you better than I did..” He said, wiping his face again to try and mask the tears that fell. You nodded, opting to wrap him in a small and gentle hug. He returned it before parting after just a moment, “Go find him MC…”. You nodded, looking at the beautiful flowers in your hand and then back at him, “Seriously, thank you Ominis.” Before running off to find Sallow.

You checked everywhere you could think of, he wasnt with any of his friends and nobody had seen him after the play. Biting your lip, you made your way up to the Astronomy Tower, it was your last guess. At this point, the high from your kiss was replaced with an empty feeling of dread. Was it bad? Did he not care? How could you read the situation so wrongly?! It was almost embarrassing how hung up you were on this kiss that turned out to be just acting. You sighed, looking at the flowers as you made your way to the top. You were greeted with the view of a broad back, looking up at the stars silently. You bit your lip, this was a complete role reversal..usually he’s the one finding you up here.

“Is it stupid of me to be up here right now?” You call out from the entrance, ready to turn your heels around and descend down to your room. Your voice snapped him out of his thoughts, heart aching at your voice and unsure of how to respond.

“No…” Was all he could muster up, refusing to face you and cursing himself for that stupid response. You bit your lip, gently walking up next to him and joining him in viewing the stars.

“Why’d you leave?” You asked, slightly nervous of the answer you were going to get.

“I uh..I didn’t want to ruin your night..” He sighed, knowing his feelings would have gotten in the way of you trying to enjoy your after party.

“You wouldn’t ruin my night!” You laugh, finally turning to look up at him and you immediately notice his somber expression… “Hey what’s wrong, seriously..?”

He bit his lip, not even wanting to look down at you but forcing himself to do so anyway, “Just… its over now.. you dont have to act like we’re friends or anything.. I understand.. You didn’t have to come find me..” He sighs, heart aching slightly. His words just cemented his reality.

“Sebastian what are you talking about?”

“The play..it’s over. You dont have to pretend like we’re friends or anything. I’m a big boy, I dont need to be coddled.” He replied, almost annoyed that you had still come up here to give him hope..false hope.

“What? Sebastian—“ You started but he just shook his head. You were so confused, why on earth would you come up here to find him if he meant nothing to him. You sighed, annoyed before blurting you,

“I missed you.”

His whole world basically stopped once those words left your mouth. He turned to you, wide eyed and confused.. “What?…”

“Sebastian… I’ve missed you. Maybe I’m reading the room wrong but I thought that kiss….nevermind.” You started, realizing you dont want to sound equally stupid and go too deep too fast. He shook his quickly, “I…MC.. I thought you wouldn’t want anything to do with—“ Noticing his change in demeanor and his frantic attempt at an explanation, you cut him off

“No..” You smiled, shaking your head slightly before standing on your tip toes and placing a light kiss on his cheek, your heart rate quickening again. He blushed slightly, not being able to resist the urge of cupping your pretty face in his large hands and returning your kiss with one on your forehead.

“I thought that was the end of us…” He smiled sadly, his brown eyes gazing down into yours.

“I…I would like to try again…” You said, nervous of rejection even though you knew it was unlikely.

“I’d love that..you have no idea MC..”

You two met each other in another delicate kiss, the stars and moon illuminating you both. Everything felt right, perfect even. This past week showed you everyone’s true colors..and the one person who hadn’t given up on you was right in front if you, offering their being to you wholeheartedly. 7th year had only just begun, and you had all year to pick up where you and Sebastian left off years ago…

Just An Act

~part nine~

Prompt: You and Sebastian broke up following the events of 5th year. Now it is 7th year, you and Ominis are together and all seems well… until you and Sebastian are casted as lovers in a play.

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10

~~

“Ominis!” You corrected your tone, practically jumping off of Sebastian. You two were caught like two deer in headlights. Thank Merlin this man lacked eyesight in this moment. Sebastian’s face was beet red while yours maintained a light blush. Sebastian secretly cursed Ominis, he was so close to having that special moment with you, but maybe it was a blessing in disguise. ‘Too soon..’ He reassured to himself, it eyes drifting to the man who ruined his life. You smoothed out your clothes, even if the effort went unnoticed. Sebastian stayed silent, just to be on the safe side.

“I would like to have a moment with you..” Ominis sighed, he knew Sebastian was with you but was unaware of the exact circumstances he was interrupting. “Both of you.”

Sebastian practically choked when Ominis made his awareness very obvious. You bit your lip, feeling guilty for the time you spent with Sebastian..but it was all in good innocent fun right? Nothing happened..so you had no reason to feel that way.

“Yeah…Okay, tomorrow morning?” You offered, taking a small step away from Sebastian and one closer to your ex-boyfriend offering a small smile.

“Preferably..” Ominis replied, his tone completely unreadable. For the first time ever, you genuinely felt uneasy because of Ominis. You didnt know what was going through his mind..you didn’t even know if he heard about your duel in crossed wands. And even then, he definitely would not be happy with you..on second thought, maybe you had reason to feel guilty.

“Aha, good seeing you guys! I’m off!” Sebastian stated overconfidently, desperate to leave the most awkward situation ever. However, he didnt turn his heels fast enough,

“You’re staying Sebastian!” Ominis called out, raising his voice.

“Fuck.” Sebastian whispered, rolling his eyes as he turned around. You smiled slightly at his remark, biting the side of your cheek to hold back a chuckle.

“I’ll see you tomorrow MC.” Ominis dismissed you. It was weird hearing him call you by your name and not Dove. Truthfully, you felt your heart ache slightly. It’s crazy how your life drastically flipped in the matter of a week or two. Sebastian looked over at you and smiled reassuringly at you, giving you a small wave while mouthing the words ‘It’ll be okay’.

“Alright then..” You replied, at a loss for any other words that would be appropriate here. You waved to the boys before entering your common room, riddled with anxiety at what would happen between the boys without your presence. You didnt want anyone to get hurt, you cared for both of the men. You slept as well as you could, nauseous and riddled with anxiety with thoughts of what would occur in the next twelve hours.

~~

“Look, Ominis.” Sebastian began, leaning up against the wall. The blind man shook his head slightly, “Not here. The Undercroft.”. Sebastian bit the side of his cheek, hoping this wasnt some elaborate trap to kill him. He behaved so well the past two years, and to be fair MC deserved to know the truth about her boyfriend and what he was doing behind her back.

“Alright then..” He said..noticing that he basically mimicked exactly what you said. He chuckled internally, you two were just meant to be together, romantically or not.

Ominis walked with Sebastian in silence, for the first time ever throughout their history, Ominis was the one in control. Sebastian literally did not know how to act, opting to match his silence. This would either be great, or go terribly…. Old Sebastian would’ve just used Imperio to avoid these types of situations, but he was a changed man…even if the thought briefly crossed his mind. They entered the Undercroft, seeming untouched since 5th year, memories flooding back to Sebastian. An old blanket was left out near one of the couches, the same one you two used to cuddle under when you wanted to escape the busy halls of Hogwarts. His heart skipped a beat for just a second, before the door slammed shut, bringing him back to reality.

“So..” Sebastian started, breaking the silence between them as he leaned against one of the pillars.

“Sebastian…I am sorry.” Ominis stated, a tinge of sadness in his voice as he mimicked Sebastian’s stance on the pillar opposite to him. Sebastian’s eyes widened, he was 100% expecting to be in an attempted homicide down here. “I now know what you were going through back in 5th year.. i have experienced the light you possessed along with the loss of it. I so desperately wanted to protect her..keep her safe and away from danger. However, I do not apologize from pulling her and you out of the dark arts..” He went on, clarifying his words. “For once Sebastian, I wanted to win.. I was so unbearably jealous of you two that I let my own intentions overwhelm my character and common sense…”

Sebastian, yet again, had no idea how to respond. He couldnt say it was okay, because it genuinely wasnt. He couldnt say he was still mad, because he was equally as bad of an influence on you back in the day. “We both messed up..” He opted for, accepting his lack of innocence in the situation. It hurt him slightly to hear how Ominis talked about you, it should have been him.. and Ominis knew that. Ominis nodded in response, looking down, mustering up the courage for his next words,

“If she wants you, she can have you..I wont interfere. I’ll stay out of your lives.. I cannot even think of doing something like this again..” He said defeatedly, a small tear running down his cheek, heart breaking at the reality he may have lost you.

“Same to you… I’m only present in her life if she allows me to be there. Hell, if she chooses you Ominis, I will completely back off..I cannot promise the lack of a platonic relationship, but I can assure you that you will not have to be worried about me romantically.” Sebastian offered, hoping that it would not be the case.

“Mmm…” Ominis sighed, “I miss our friendship…” He said nervously. Your lack of presence in his life made him realize he was lacking the second most important person in his life.

“Yeah,,,we had some good times..” Sebastian chuckled, “Like when we went to the Scriptorium!” Sebastian broke, laughing as Ominis rolled his eyes, allowing a smile to escape.

“Yeah. My favorite.” He said trying to be serious. Sebastian continued laughing, causing Ominis to break. They laughed for a minute before Sebastian looked at Ominis,

“So…We’re cool… no more sabotaging?” He laughed, nudging the boy with his elbow which caused Ominis to sigh, “Yeah,” He said sarcastically unamused.

“Good luck with MC tomorrow, I’m going to bed.” Sebastian called, heading out of the Undercroft, “She’s got some spark to her now.” He chuckled, walking through the door. Ominis was left alone with his thoughts, he was happy to be friends again with Sebastian, but he was a little anxious about his talk with you the next morning. Sighing and filled with anxiety, he followed Sebastian out, running through what he was going to say the next morning.

~~

The next morning came unbearably slowly. You were up all night wondering what happened between Ominis and Sebastian. You truly hope everything went okay, but you couldn’t imagine the words that would have been exchanged. Sighing, you got up and got ready for your meeting, your lack of sleep evident in your appearance. As you entered the common room, you saw Ominis waiting for you by the door. It was so early in the morning, no one else had been around. Trying to swallow your nervousness, you walked up to him delicately,

“Goodmorning Ominis..” You smiled, nervousness apparent in your voice. He turned to you, offering a sad smile..you were never nervous around him like this.

“Goodmorning Dove..” He returned, trying to convey to you there was nothing to be nervous about. He reached for your hand, and you gave it to him without much doubt, “Follow me this time will you?” He asked, savoring the warmth of your hand…this really might be the last time it was appropriate enough to be this initiate. You smiled, “Lead the way..” You smiled, your nerves calming themselves. He lead you to the Undercroft, it really was the perfect place to have private conversations. You smiled as you entered, it had been so long, and so much has happened since then.

“MC…” Ominis said to you, turning back to you, inches away from your face as he continued holding your hand. “I….I understand if you want me out of your life for good. I know I messed up, I betrayed you…” He started, eyes already starting to gloss over, “I know you’ve been with Sebastian..and if that’s what you truly want, I wholeheartedly accept that… However, if you offer me one last chance..I will be better, I promise you Dove.. I will never stop loving you… Even if you allow me in your life as a friend, I will be better…” He stated with intense but sad eyes. “I mean it MC…” He said, his other hand moving up to your face, cupping you cheek.

Your breath hitched, heart aching at his words. Truthfully, he had disrespected you so much, but it’s not like you could just turn off your feelings. “Ominis…I…” you started, failing to form words as you looked up at him. He sighed, knowing where this was going without you even saying anything. He kissed the top of your head delicately, “I want what’s best for you MC, with or without me..”. Those words were your breaking point, tears pouring down your cheeks. It would have been so much easier if he just hated you, or broke up with you without any explanation.

“I…I don’t know if I can continue our relationship…. But…I dont want you out of my life completely.” You cried, his heart breaking for the 100th time this week. You were both crying at this point, sad to see what you sad be broken apart. He hugged you while you buried your face in his chest.

“Friends..?” He asked, hopeful that he wasnt completely losing you. “Friends..” You nodded, the words hurting you as they left your throat. He smiled sadly, his tears now dampening your hair as he held onto you. His shattered heart being held together with a thin bandaid in the form of friendship.

“You can always change your mind..” He said chuckling sadly, trying to lighten the mood but let you know he would always be there for you. You gave a small laugh back, savoring his embrace. This really was it for you two..unless Merlin fated you together sometime in the future. You would miss this man so much, but the damage he caused was too much for you to forgive and forget. He needed to prove himself before you could allow yourself to even think about being romantically involved with him. You two broke apart after a few minutes, both looking an absolute emotional wreck.

“Sebastian and I…we’re friends again.” He said, breaking the silence, trying to bring some normalcy to your now new relationship status. Your eyes widened, confused on how the hell that was even possible,

“I’m glad…you two were best friends..” You replied, opting not to press on their personal matters. You were happy enough to know they had each other again. An awkward silence fell upon you two again, unsure of how to react to each other now..

“How did your duel go?” Ominis asked right as you were about to announce your departure. You were stunned when he asked, you knew he hated you duelling…but it wasnt a surprise word got around about it.

“Um… really well actually!” You smiled perking up a bit. He smiled at your reaction, “I’m proud of you, I knew you could do it..” You were stunned by his response, where was this Ominis when you were dating!? You checked the time, realizing it was time for your first class, even if you did want to continue this specific conversation with him..

“Damn, I’m gonna be late… I’ll see you around Ominis!” You said hurriedly, masking the new feeling of emptiness you felt. His sad smile returned, nodding “Goodbye Dove…” He said in almost a whisper. That nickname was going to be dead the minute you left him alone in the Undercroft. You offered a small wave, before hurrying out, a small tear leaving your eye as you looked back at him one last time, “Goodbye Omi..”.

Ominis slumped down the side of the wall once silence engulfed the Undercroft. Tears pouring out his eyes, he completely broke down. The only comforts he had were that you weren’t completely gone, and Sebastian was back in his life.

A/N: One part left!!! This is your last chance to tell me you want Ominis endgame instead!! Ty all for the notes and reblogs!! IT MEANS SM!<33

The next morning came unbearably slowly. You were up all night wondering what happened between Ominis and Sebastian. You truly hope everything went okay, but you couldn’t imagine the words that would have been exchanged. Sighing, you got up and got ready for your meeting, your lack of sleep evident in your appearance. As you entered the common room, you saw Ominis waiting for you by the door. It was so early in the morning, no one else had been around. Trying to swallow your nervousness, you walked up to him delicately,

“Goodmorning Ominis..” You smiled, nervousness apparent in your voice. He turned to you, offering a sad smile..you were never nervous around him like this.

“Goodmorning Dove..” He returned, trying to convey to you there was nothing to be nervous about. He reached for your hand, and you gave it to him without much doubt, “Follow me this time will you?” He asked, savoring the warmth of your hand…this really might be the last time it was appropriate enough to be this initiate. You smiled, “Lead the way..” You smiled, your nerves calming themselves. He lead you to the Undercroft, it really was the perfect place to have private conversations. You smiled as you entered, it had been so long, and so much has happened since then.

“MC…” Ominis said to you, turning back to you, inches away from your face as he continued holding your hand. “I���.I understand if you want me out of your life for good. I know I messed up, I betrayed you…” He started, eyes already starting to gloss over, “I know you’ve been with Sebastian..and if that’s what you truly want, I wholeheartedly accept that… However, if you offer me one last chance..I will be better, I promise you Dove.. I will never stop loving you… Even if you allow me in your life as a friend, I will be better…” He stated with intense but sad eyes. “I mean it MC…” He said, his other hand moving up to your face, cupping you cheek.

Your breath hitched, heart aching at his words. Truthfully, he had disrespected you so much, but it’s not like you could just turn off your feelings. “Ominis…I…” you started, failing to form words as you looked up at him. He sighed, knowing where this was going without you even saying anything. He kissed the top of your head delicately, “I want what’s best for you MC, with or without me..”. Those words were your breaking point, tears pouring down your cheeks. It would have been so much easier if he just hated you, or broke up with you without any explanation.

“I…I don’t know if I can continue our relationship…. But…I dont want you out of my life completely.” You cried, his heart breaking for the 100th time this week. You were both crying at this point, sad to see what you sad be broken apart. He hugged you while you buried your face in his chest.

“Friends..?” He asked, hopeful that he wasnt completely losing you. “Friends..” You nodded, the words hurting you as they left your throat. He smiled sadly, his tears now dampening your hair as he held onto you. His shattered heart being held together with a thin bandaid in the form of friendship.

“You can always change your mind..” He said chuckling sadly, trying to lighten the mood but let you know he would always be there for you. You gave a small laugh back, savoring his embrace. This really was it for you two..unless Merlin fated you together sometime in the future. You would miss this man so much, but the damage he caused was too much for you to forgive and forget. He needed to prove himself before you could allow yourself to even think about being romantically involved with him. You two broke apart after a few minutes, both looking an absolute emotional wreck.

“Sebastian and I…we’re friends again.” He said, breaking the silence, trying to bring some normalcy to your now new relationship status. Your eyes widened, confused on how the hell that was even possible,

“I’m glad…you two were best friends..” You replied, opting not to press on their personal matters. You were happy enough to know they had each other again. An awkward silence fell upon you two again, unsure of how to react to each other now..

“How did your duel go?” Ominis asked right as you were about to announce your departure. You were stunned when he asked, you knew he hated you duelling…but it wasnt a surprise word got around about it.

“Um… really well actually!” You smiled perking up a bit. He smiled at your reaction, “I’m proud of you, I knew you could do it..” You were stunned by his response, where was this Ominis when you were dating!? You checked the time, realizing it was time for your first class, even if you did want to continue this specific conversation with him..

“Damn, I’m gonna be late… I’ll see you around Ominis!” You said hurriedly, masking the new feeling of emptiness you felt. His sad smile returned, nodding “Goodbye Dove…” He said in almost a whisper. That nickname was going to be dead the minute you left him alone in the Undercroft. You offered a small wave, before hurrying out, a small tear leaving your eye as you looked back at him one last time, “Goodbye Omi..”.

Ominis slumped down the side of the wall once silence engulfed the Undercroft. Tears pouring out his eyes, he completely broke down. The only comforts he had were that you weren’t completely gone, and Sebastian was back in his life.

A/N: One part left!!! This is your last chance to tell me you want Ominis endgame instead!! Ty all for the notes and reblogs!! IT MEANS SM!<33

Just An Act

~part eight~

Prompt: You and Sebastian broke up following the events of 5th year. Now it is 7th year, you and Ominis are together and all seems well… until you and Sebastian are casted as lovers in a play.

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10 *completed*

~

You were woken up by birds chirping and the sun casting a warm blanket over you. You instinctively went to sit up, not fully aware of what exact situation you had gotten yourself in the night before. You instantaneously knocked something with your head as you tried to get a hold on your surroundings.

“Ow.” You heard a rough and tired voice say. It hit you what happened. You fell asleep with Sebastian up in the Astronomy Tower, it was morning, and students would very soon be out and about. Your heart skipped a beat at the thought, wishing you two would’ve been able to enjoy yourselves last night in different circumstances. Your realization hit you and you were fully awake in that same second.

“Sebastian! We have to go!~” You said hastily, laughing slightly at the boy who was just as dazed as you once were.

“What? No come here, five more minutes..” He replied, not even opening his eyes as he reached to pull you back down to him. You laughed , shaking him off,

“No seriously! They’ll be up here any minute!” You said, very lightly slapping his cheek. Slapping was an exaggeration, you just needed to wake this man up before he got you in trouble…again. He opened his eyes, realizing he wasnt in bed with the girl of his dreams, and rather exposed to the world in the Tower.

“Merlin!” He said, quickly getting up and smoothing out his clothes. His eyes met yours, a small blush painting his cheeks as he saw your disheveled and groggy appearance.

“I’ve got to go! I have a test first thing! Until we meet again Bash!~” You said hurriedly, offering him a small smile before scurrying off. He was left there for a second, replaying last night in his head. He wasn’t sure how he kept managing to get so lucky in the worst possible situations. He smiled, looking back at the spot where you two slept, before making his way to his first class.

~~

As you went along your day, you still felt like everyone was still looking at you. How did everyone just magically know your business?! Not to mention the fact that you hadn’t even told anyone, nor was it that entertaining. I guess when you have the reputation you possessed, people were too interested in what was going on.

“MC!” You heard Natty call out across the hall. You smiled, heading over to them because it had been a few days since you last spoke to them, and you needed girl talk bad. These boys were too much drama.

“Natty! Poppy!” You smiled. “You look terrible..” Poppy blurted out before Natty gave her a slight elbow. You laughed slightly, she was always so oblivious.

“MC… although you have so much to tell me, you need to know what people are saying” Natty warned, her tone serious. She nodded her head to the corner of the room, following her direction you saw Octavia and rolled your eyes. “Go on..”

“Octavia is saying awful things about you. She’s starting to say you dumped Ominis for her boyfriend, calling you awful muggle names, and that you sabotaged her so that you could kiss Sebastian.” Natty said in a hushed tone. You rolled your eyes even harder this time.

“Great.. and I’m sure Ominis has heard all about this as well.” You sighed, opting to sit next to Natty on the bench, “She seems so insufferable.” You sighed.

“Speak of the devil.” You heard Octavia shout in your direction.

“Sebastian has quite the taste in women..” Poppy whispered, causing you two to giggle. Octavia started stomping her way over to you, her other Slytherin group trailing behind her. You stood up from your seat, not wanting Natty and Poppy to get involved in your little love square.

“Octavia, I truly dont care for whatever show you’re trying to put on.” You sighed, meeting her halfway.

“Crossed wands. Just you and me. After class.” She stated, head held high in confidence. You hadn’t dueled in crossed wants since you were partners with Sebastian. You narrowed your eyes, feeling the old you coming to the surface. Ominis heavily encouraged you to live normally and peacefully, in consequence, your spark slowly went out.

“I’ll see you then.” You smirked. A look of surprise quickly took over her face, as if she expected you to back down. Normally, you wouldnt care for petty gossip, but this was affecting Ominis, Sebastian, and now Natty and Poppy.

You hadn’t noticed, but Sebastian and Ominis were both present for this interaction. Ominis was already heartbroken, heard you accept her duel and felt terrible. You were already falling back into the darkness. He didn’t see that you were doing this for him, again. You didn’t want Ominis to be subject to Octavia’s wrath, even if he slightly deserved it. He couldnt help but feel nervous and even more guilty. He discouraged your combat skills, and now you were out of practice facing a girl who wanted your head on a stake. It felt like the world he built for you all came crashing down, and it was all simultaneously his fault. He needed to fix this, show you how much he regretted his actions, and make it all up to you…he loved and cherished you too much not to.

Sebastian on the other hand, he saw the sparkle in your eyes. Your actions reminded him of your time together. There was no way he would miss your duel. If you won, great, celebrate with dinner at Three Broomsticks, if you lost, comfort you and nurse you back to health. Win-Win! Kind of…not really. But he did not doubt your skills for a second, you far surpassed him in combat back in the day, and there was no way you just forgot everything because of Ominis. It was who you were, with or without dark magic. Although, he prayed for you to win..the play was only in two days and he desperately wanted that moment with you.

~

Truthfully, you were a little nervous. Aside from a handful of poacher encounters, you really didn’t duel in a while. You were confident in your skills still, but Octavia genuinely had it out for you. Taking a deep breath, you tied up your hair and changed into your dueling clothes. There were still small tears and holes from your past duels. It was also a little snug, hugging your curves a little too-perfectly, but it was all you had…it wasnt like you were planning on fighting a vengeful ex girlfriend when you signed up for the play. You took your wand, and headed out.

When you walked into the arena, you saw a small crowd of kids there. Octavia was talking to her group, you hadn’t really thought about inviting anyone… Poppy and Natty were not cut out for this scene, Ominis was out of the question..and you hadn’t seen Sebastian but even then it seemed inappropriate.

“She arrives!” Lucan smiles, announcing your arrival. Everyone turned to you..including a familiar Slytherin boy tucked away in the corner. He didnt want to distract you, keeping his presence hidden. His eyes lingered for what seemed like forever, you looked perfect. He recognized your clothing, smiling slightly that you had held on to that piece of history you two shared together. His heart fluttered slightly, noticing how your clothes now fit you. His face turned bright red, biting his look and breaking his gaze to stop any other thoughts from forming… but if one thing was confirmed, he knew you were the one for him. He could not fuck up this time. He so desperately wanted to go to your side and duel with you, but this was important for you, and he refused to interfere.

“Perfect..” Octavia smirked, already drawing her wand and stepping into the playing field. You took a deep breath, going up to the opposite side as her, drawing your wand.

“Eager aren’t we!” Brattleby smiled, before counting down and beginning the match. She shot first, casting Flipendo. You were out of it, missing your Protego and falling victim to her spell. The concrete against your back sparked a fire that you had thought you forgotten. Gripping your wand tighter, you stood up, eyeing her as she chuckled,

“I was only getting started…” She smirked, ready to cast again while you hit her with an aggressive, Confringo. It hit her unexpectedly. The battle had officially begun. She went hard, but you went even harder, only getting hit a handful of times while she got flustered and missed her Protego half of the time. You were both bruised, one more than the other and you were ready to end this. You were fired up, adrenaline running as you cast Accio, followed by a somewhat over powered Descendo, sending her right into the concrete floor.

The small crowd cheered as you put your wand away, catching your breath and wiping away a slightly bloodied lip.

“And the winner is….MC!” Lucan smiled, handing you a small ribbon of victory. You took it, putting it in your pocket before offering a hand to help her up, hoping this feud would be over. Past you would’ve practically walked over her, but you were different. Ominis nurtured your gentle side, causing an even balance between being ‘good’ and ‘bad’. She looked up at you, before taking your hand and standing up, a slightly embarrassed look on her face.

“I…I’m sorry for overreacting.” She said, her words going unnoticed by everyone else around you due to the commotion.

“Are we okay now?” You asked, offering a small smile and she nodded slightly. She looked over, noticing something before giving you a sad smile, “I know why now..” She said cryptically. You gave her a confused look before she retreated to her friends. You looked around, before practically being knocked back by some unknown force.

“MC! You did great!” A very familiar voice said, and before you knew it you were in their arms. You looked up, seeing the familiar brown curls and freckled skin. A small blush formed, not realizing he had been watching you the whole time.

“Sebastian!” You smiled, parting from his embrace.

“Come on, lets ditch this place!” He smiled, grabbing your hand and pulling you away from he arena…completely forgetting that he had not mentioned his plan for the Three Broomsticks. Grabbing your hand was so natural to him, he didn’t even think about his actions as he did it. As you left, the chilly breeze hit your face, calling attention to the warmth at your hands. You both let go of your grasps, remembering that things were not the same as they once were.

“Where are we even going?!” You laughed, basking in the cool fall air…that arena had you working up a sweat that you hoped wasnt terrible.

“Oh! Oh..um..the Three Broomsticks… but if you dont want to that’s okay! I just figured..” He started rambling. This had been what you did back in the day after winning a duel. You smiled, heart skipping a beat as you chuckled, “Sounds great.”

As you arrived, Sirona was shocked to see you two together. Your face still had some dried blood on it, and she had just assumed you guys were back together.

“My favorite couple!” She smiled, “Been a while hasn’t it..” She winked, before taking your order and setting off. You two immediately blushed, him choking on his butter beer. You avoided eye contact for the next couple of seconds, trying to recover from the feelings Sirona brought to the surface.

“You were seriously amazing out there.” Sebastian complimented, taking a sip of his butter beer.

“I was so nervous…it had been so long since i was in that arena. I couldnt let her continue to drag everyone in drama, especially Ominis.” You explained. Sebastian was reminded of the harsh reality. This wasnt a normal night, there were so many more layers to it.

“Ominis…? You’re back together?” He queried, secretly hoping you would say no.

“Well..no? We’re on a break technically, but regardless of his actions, I don’t want him suffering from the gossip and rumors. I still care about him, I just dont know if I’m willing to forgive and forget.” You explained, “regardless of my presence, I want his last year to go as good as possible.”

“You’re so kind..” Sebastian said softly not really thinking what was coming out of his mouth. He noticed your change in maturity. You could now still hold your spark and have a good heart. He loved this version of you more than he did in the past.

“Thank you?” You laughed. You enjoyed your night together, yet again. It 100% felt like you two were on a date, but neither of you even thought of bringing that conversation up. At the end of the night, you two were feeling very bubbly due to the butter beers and feelings. He walked you to the common room, smiling sheepishly,

“I’m sorry for stealing you away from any of your night plans.” He smiled, holding your hand, which neither of you fully realized.

“Oh no…you ruined my plans of going up to the Astronomy tower in hopes that my knight in shining armor comes to greet me~” You smiled playfully, looking up at him with wide, innocent eyes. He blushed at your comment, getting the confidence to subtly flirt back,

“Instead, your knight opted for intercepting your celebration and stealing you away.” You smiled, eyes meeting his and lingering for what felt like forever. Silence fell upon you, both of your hearts ready to burst out of your chests. His eyes never left yours, instead he started moving his head down to your level. Just as you were about to mimic his movements, footsteps approached,

“MC..” A familiar voice spoke. You both instantly sobered up in that moment, breaking apart and looking towards the voice. Your faces bright red, and minds flustered.

“Ominis..”

Just An Act

~part seven~

Prompt: You and Sebastian broke up following the events of 5th year. Now it is 7th year, you and Ominis are together and all seems well… until you and Sebastian are casted as lovers in a play.

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10 *completed*

~~

You trudged back to your room after parting ways with Sebastian. You couldn’t decide wether or not to cry or be enraged. You changed you clothes and washed your face, heart broken but also on fire with anger. All of this time, two years, he spent lying to your face while also drastically improving your life. On one hand, he was loving, supportive, gentle, pulled you out of the dark arts and pushed you to open your mind up to allowing your new best friends to be in your life. But…he also sabotaged your relationship with Sebastian, blackmailed his best friend, lied to you consistently with what seemed to be no intentions of ever fessing up. In that instant, you decided anger would be the dominating force over your heart. You were not a chess piece in his little game that he could move around and control.

Mundane tasks like brushing your teeth and changing your clothes turning into throwing your toothbrush and ripping the clothes off of you, causing small tears and stretching at the seams. It dawned on you how Ominis thought he was the victim..How the hell does that even work!? How is he going to be upset when you truly didn’t do anything. You didnt choose to kiss Sebastian, you didn’t choose him as your lead, and you did everything you could to reassure Ominis that everything was okay and fine. Matter of fact, you didnt even choose to spend last night with Sebastian. You always chose Ominis, and realizing that rubbed salt in your wound. He couldn’t even trust you when all signs pointed to him.

At this point you were seething with anger, determined to talk with Ominis today no matter what the circumstances were. You were impatient when it came to conflicts, so even if you were unsure of your exact route of attack, you knew today was the day that atleast something would happen. You grabbed your bag and stormed out of your room.

Sebastian on the other hand, opted to skip class that day. Sallow, unlike you, wanted to approach this carefully. He felt as though he had more to lose than you. If Ominis and you fell apart, he would be right there for you in an instant. However, if he fucked up, he could lose you and the life he had rebuilt for himself. However, even though he needed to plot his next moves, that being dealing with Octavia and Ominis, he couldn’t help but let his mind wander to the time you two had spent together last night. It was imperfectly perfect, and he had only gotten a taste of what could be…anything amount of relationship with you was worth whatever he needed to do.

You walked out into the common room, scanning the room for literally anybody of significance. Ominis was nowhere to be found, but that made sense because you were running insanely late. In fact, most of the common room was emptied out aside from a few clusters of people.

“How could he do that?! Not mention he’s ‘acting’ with that bitch he used to shag!?” You heard a somewhat familiar voice. Your eyes darted to the corner of the room and saw the one and only Octavia. She was clearly heated, and truthfully you couldnt blame her. Sebastian kind of messed up with her, but it boiled down to the fact that Ominis was the real root of everyone’s problem. Had he not meticulously interfered, maybe Octavia wouldn’t have even met Sebastian. The silence that followed her statement enticed her to look around, and then meet eyes with the one and only. Her face immediately went red, and she looked down. The murmurs from across the room hushed, but she was the last the last of your problems. Sebastian can handle that one..

You left the room, going off to your classes. Octavia clearly had not held back on her wrath against you and your ex boyfriend, it felt as though everyone’s eyes followed you through the halls, and you could hear hushed voices mention what sounded like either Seb, Om, Oct, or MC. Whatever, Merlin forbid somebody try crossing you, you’d handle them with no problem. Regardless, you knew Ominis heard the whispers as well, especially with his heightened senses to make up for his eyesight.

You went through your classes, deciding that your last period class with Ominis would be your perfect opportunity to snag him. You entered the class just a second before you were considered late, your whole day had consisted of running late…which could be blamed entirely on the night before. Your mind was anywhere but present while attending your classes. Because of your late arrival, your usual seat next to Ominis was already taken. Blessing in disguise. The tension in the room was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Once the bell rang, Ominis practically darted out of the classroom. Without thinking, you quickened your steps and shouted ,

“Ominis Gaunt!” While grabbing onto his arm to keep him from running. He turned to face you, an uneasy expression on his face.

“MC… I—“ He started, unsure of what to even say. “We need to talk.” You interrupted sternly. Ominis couldnt tell what you would possibly need to talk about. His heart dropped, nervous of what you could want. He was naturally more on the anxious side anyway, and he desperately hoped you just wanted to talk things out…however you never held this tone with him. He looked up at you, wishing just once he could read your expression. Your hand never left his arm as you started leading him away into an abandoned dead end corridor. He savored your touch, unsure if this would be the last time he’d ever be escorted by you. His heart ached at the thought, taking deep breaths to try and calm himself down. He was probably overreacting again and all would be okay…right..?

You stopped inside the corridor, sure that nobody followed you and would not be able to hear you. “You weren’t at the library.” You started, letting your instincts take over because you hadn’t really planned this part out. Your heartbeat started quickening, nerves kicking in.

“Dove, i know— I’m so sorry, I just didn’t know what to say..” He replied, looking down and fidgeting with his fingers, “I…I overreacted, I know.. I just.. MC, I’m so sorry…” he continued, desperate for you to say it was all okay.

“So, I wandered the castle and ended up alone in the Astronomy Tower. I was just as heartbroken and worried as you.. I had nobody. But then, Sebastian showed up..” You started, your tone somber and not as harsh.

“Fuck….” He whispered under his breath, you didn’t even hear it with how quiet it was. For Ominis to say muggle words, you knew it was bad. Tears glossed over his milky eyes, he knew what was coming.

“Ominis…you wanted us to break up, you kept him away from me, blackmailed your best friend, and then continued to lie to me for two years…” You sighed, you voice cracking at the very end. It didnt take long for the tears to start pouring out from your eyes. Ominis took a shaky breath, pulling you into himself for a tight embrace. You were both hurting, it wasnt a secret.

“MC..I— I know… MC he didn’t deserve you..I saw that. I loved you long before he started pursuing you.. I couldnt let you destroy yourself.. He couldn’t have you. Dove, I love you” He cried, praying to Merlin you would see his intentions and understand.

“I…. I am not an object Ominis! I am not anyone’s to have!” You broke, pushing yourself away from him even though deep down that was the last thing you wanted to do. You wiped y..our tears, looking up at the boy who was crumbling right in front of you.

“I— I know! MC, you dont get it!” He pleaded, trying to reach out for your hand but was left empty.

“Ominis YOU dont get it! Everything is fake! I thought we fell in love together, not because of some grand scheme of yours that you had from the start! You made decisions for me that I didn’t even know I had control of! You lied! I cannot decipher what was real between us and what you planne d!” You shouted back, becoming overwhelmed.

“Stop talking like this! It was real! I never wanted to hurt you, you know that!” He shouted back. You were both crying, shouting at each other and heartbroken. Silence fell between you, unsure of what was left to be said except for the obvious.

“I chose you every time Ominis. No matter what. I feel so betrayed… I dont even know what to do… but I feel as though we should take a break..” You broke the silence.

“I understand.” He sighed, his head down and avoiding your gaze at all costs. “I love you MC, that has not changed.” His heart was no longer shattered, it had been ripped from his chest and shredded onto the floor.

“I know Omi..” You replied, reaching for his hand to give a reassuring squeeze. You turned your back, leaving him alone in the corridor as you both burst into tears separately.

~~~

Your night went on agonizingly slow. You heart was heavy, you felt nauseous, and you definitely couldn’t sleep it off. You rolled out of bed, deciding you needed to take a walk and get some fresh air. You found yourself again in the Astronomy tower, exhausted but enjoying the peace and quiet. Secretly, you hoped a certain someone would also manage to find his way up here, but it was extremely unlikely. You brought your script up with you to try and get your mind off things..your performance was only a few days away now, and you were determined to not give up despite your circumstances. You heard the door open and you quickly snapped to look behind you, nervous you’d be getting caught past curfew.

A man emerged behind the door with curly brown hair and emerald green eyes. Sebastian.. he came. You offered a small smile, moving over slightly to make room for the man.

“I’m sorry…if you want me to leave I totally can..I promise its not—“ He started, but you shook your head and patted the spot next to you,

“No…sit, please” You said softly. He nodded, not needing any more confirmation before taking the seat next to you. He could tell you were upset, so he dropped his usual cocky attitude in favor for a comforting one.

“Why’d you come up here?” You asked, leaning your head on his shoulder. You were so tired, and this felt so natural.

“Well.. Octavia and I broke up..and I thought maybe you’d return up here tonight? I thought it was far fetched but apparently not..” he smiled down at you, his heartbeat quickening at your touch. He had to manually relax his body, noticing how stiff he had gotten.

“I’m sorry to hear.. but I’m pretty much in the same boat” You smiled sadly, looking up at the stars. He fought back a smile that was creeping up on him, and instead opting to squeeze your hand. Although he was sad to see you so upset..things were looking up for him, and he knew it was wrong of him to feel that way. But, if you and Ominis were to get back together tomorrow, he would not oppose it and only encourage you to do what makes you happy.

“Funny how it’s twice now that we’re up here with the same problems..” He said after a moment of silence. It was getting late, and you hadn’t slept for over 24 hours at this point. He noticed your silence and looked down to see you sound asleep on his shoulder with his hand still covering yours. Warmth spread over his entire body as he readjusted slightly, careful to make sure you didn’t wake up and were still comfortable. Of course you were sleepy, the past few days have been nothing but an emotional roller coaster for everyone involved. You were slowly coming back to him, and this small gesture meant the world to him.

“Sweet dreams MC..” He whispered softly before placing a gentle kiss on your forehead. He soon ended up drifting off as well, his head leaning on top of yours…

A/N: Sebastian endgame it is! I’m so upset, I wrote this chapter twice but i forgot to save it! I’m so sorry for the delay! I’m excited to move on from this and make smaller fics haha

Just an Act

~part six~

Prompt: You and Sebastian broke up following the events of 5th year. Now it is 7th year, you and Ominis are together and all seems well… until you and Sebastian are casted as lovers in a play.

Part One, Part Two, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10 *completed*

*7th Year*

Your mind had been plagued by Sebastian as the next few days went on. Everyone had gotten their scripts to study and the directors worked on director stuff. Although Ominis was one of the directors, you were too busy studying to really understand what was happening behind the scenes. However, your busy schedules never interfered with your nightly study dates. You always found yourself cuddled up in the library with him after curfew, enjoying the calmness of each other’s presence.

“So your outting with Sebastian.. did he mention anything?” Ominis asked, combing through your hair with his hand. He had been dying to know, but didn’t want to come off as suspicious or foreceful. He had no reason not to trust you, it was just that Sallow had a way with his words mixed with his own anxieties and self doubts.

“Actually it all went smoothly surprisingly, we both acted as if nothing ever happened…but nothing really went beyond surface level chatter.” You smiled, turning on his lap so that you were looking up at him

“I see..” Ominis replied. Truthfully, he had been nervous Sebastian mentioned the few counts of blackmail Ominis had faced him with. Ominis knew the weeks after your breakup that you wanted to try again with Sebastian or at the very least maintain friendship. But, Ominis felt as though Sebastian didn’t deserve to be in your life (and you were finally his). Ominis couldn’t let you go after finally saving you. To your knowledge, Sebastian willingly fell off the face of the earth, and intentionally ignored you. His lack of caring is what helped you really give up and move on.

“I think he’s changed Ominis..” You stated, studying his face to see his reaction. You would’ve loved to have your trio again and enjoy your last year all together.

“Dove… you know how Sallow is, I wouldn’t get your hopes up…plus what would your girls do without you..” Ominis shook his head, hoping his response was good enough to shut down your thoughts.

“I suppose..” You didn’t really have a good reply. He had a point, those two were your best friends now, and it would be extremely selfish for you to dump them for Sebastian…your ex boyfriend.. Ominis was pleased, smiling slightly as he reached down and placed a light kiss on your forehead.

“Little Dove its getting late, perhaps I should walk you down to the common room?” He smiled, stroking your hair one last time before you nodded. You two snuck through the halls of the castle as usual, hand in hand. He loved being able to put his heart and trust in your hands. As your adventure came to an end, you hugged him and stood on your tip toes to kiss him goodnight.

“Sweet dreams MC.” He whispered before you two went separate ways into your rooms.

~~Next Morning: Rehearsal~~

Today was the day you and Sallow took to the stage! You had read your lines, noticing that both yours and his ended abruptly. Although that was strange, you didn’t think much of it.. Ominis and Natty were seated in front of the stage together, intently listening and watching what was going on around them. As everyone was waiting for the Professor to show up, Sebastian came over to talk to you…. Little did you know, this man had been waiting for the next moment you two would be able to interact,

“MC, how’s it going with your lines?” He smiled, sitting next to you on the stage. Ominis immediately looked up at the sound of your name, paying close attention to you two. MC looked dashing that day, and Sebastian couldn’t help but fall guilty to wandering eyes. He so desperately wanted to be close again, or even have a chance to redeem himself and show you he was a changed man.

“Great actually! Our characters are so funny!” You smiled looking up at him, “how about—“

“Goodmorning actors and actresses!” The Professor shouted, bursting through the auditorium door. The cast and crew all replied with a mass response. All of your attention was focused on the Professor as she sat down next to Ominis and Natty,

“Today is officially the first day of rehearsal! I hope you have all been studying! And I hope some of you have been able cut through the tension!~” She smiled, eyes darting over to the two of you. A blush instantly painted both yours and Sebastian’s cheeks. You two glanced at each other, locking eyes immediately before turning away, the blush growing redder. Ominis shifted in his chair slightly, knowing what she had been implying.

“On with it!” She smiled after working out some minor kinks with the rest of the crew. You and Sebastian began rehearsing. You could tell he made sure to memorize every single line to the best of his ability, only messing up a handful of times. You reciprocated with the same accuracy of lines. You two had so much chemistry on stage, and you could tell the Professor was ecstatic. Ominis’s mood had gone sour quickly, hearing your laughs and knowing they were genuine. He could only imagine how Sebastian felt, probably like he was winning. In Ominis’s mind, there was no way this boy was purely innocent, and he happened to be right.

You two got to a point where you and Sebastian were standing close, your hands in his. Sebastian’s heart was pounding at this point, only wishing this was real and not acting.. this may be the only time he will ever be able to be this close to you again, and he made sure to savor every moment.

“Professor..” You started, breaking eye contact with Sebastian and pulling him out of his trance, “There’s no more lines..” you continued, breaking your hands away from his and holding up the script. The professor broke out into an excited smile,

“Yes! I was waiting for this moment! The play ends with a kiss!” She boasted, looking around the room for reactions. Everyone was thrilled and cheering except for 6 specific students. MC, Sebastian, Ominis, Octavia, Natty, and Poppy.

Your mind was all over the place. How could you possibly do that?! For one, you weren’t sure how you felt for Sebastian, and two it would destroy Ominis, and you knew that. Your face instantly went red, looking straight at the floor worried to give the wrong reaction to anyone.

Sebastian’s heart started pounding, yet was instantly met with guilt. He selfishly took this role to get closer to MC, yet now that it was happening he felt bad for his girlfriend, and even Ominis. Although Ominis had the girl of his dreams and he was so desperately wanting her back, he knew it was unfair for him. He didn’t even know how you felt. All of these thoughts made him feel even worse about his excitement and feelings towards MC.

Ominis also looked straight down, clenching his fists to suppress a more visible and reactive outburst. How could he let this happen?! What was worse is he knew Sebastian’s feelings toward this news, and it made him even angrier. How was he supposed to sit through and direct this play knowing the impending doom waiting for him. And why was everyone here so happy?! Was there something he couldnt pick up on due to his lack of sight?! His anger was quickly replaced with anxiety.

Octavia was pissed. That was supposed to be HER. Never mind the fact word travels fast in Hogwarts, and today was the same day she found out about the history between her boyfriend and this girl. She angrily threw the prop in her hand and stormed out.

Poppy initially cheered, oblivious to everything. It took Natty’s gentle elbow to make her realize what was really happening. Both instantly exchanging looks and going quiet.

“We’re saving that for our premiere!” The professor continued, accepting all the cheers and praises, oblivious to the real drama unfolding right in front of her. Rehearsal was done for the day after her big announcement, and everyone joined her to Hogsmeade for lunch except the six of you. Ominis instantly ran off, hyperventilating and freaking out. You chased after him while Sebastian chased after his own girlfriend.

“Ominis wait!” You called, running after him and following him to an empty hallway. He hesitated to stop, but kept walking, he couldnt even think straight right now. His heart and mind all over the place, his worst nightmare coming true. “Omi!” You called again, catching up to him and grabbing his arm. He stopped for you, turning to face you and you could see the tears glossing over his milky eyes.

“I..” He stared before you immediately pulled him into a hug. “It’s okay.” You reassured. He didn’t hug back, letting his hands fall to his sides. You were taken back by his reaction. He pulled away, wiping a stray tear that fell..

“MC… i can’t right now..” He sighed, voice cracking. Your heart broke as he turned away.

~

“Octavia!” Sebastian shouted, more annoyed than concerned for having to deal with this. Octavia was in the common room, absolutely fuming.

“Sebastian! How fucking dare you!” She shouted back, causing a scene for everyone present.

“Okay first of all, calm down.” He hushed, pulling her into one of the halls.

“Calm down?! Sebastian Sallow, did you forget to mention along the way that the girl your ‘acting’ with is your ex girlfriend?!” She shouted again. Sebastian internally rolled his eyes and sighed. Before he could even get a word in she continued, “You know, I thought you were actually interested in this play?! I noticed you were distant these past few days but assumed it was because you were serious about the play. Damn Sallow.” She ranted.

“Octavia—“ He started before she shook her head and stormed off. He let out the biggest, most annoyed sigh ever and turned. Just as he turned, he saw Ominis storming down the hallway as well, obviously a mess.

“Fuck….” Sebastian muttered before exiting the common room.

~~

You didn’t know where to go..you always spent the nights with Ominis in the library but this time he wasnt there. You made sure to check just in case, but your corner was left sad and empty. Shaking your head, you found yourself wandering the castle alone. You hadn’t spent a night alone in months, you had all this time and didn’t know what to do..and the last place you wanted to be was your dorm, listening the the gossip spread.

You ended up in the Astronomy Tower. You sat alone on the floor, looking up at the stars and listening to the wind. The last thing you wanted to do was think, but you ended up lost in your thoughts very quickly. You were quickly startled, hearing the door opening and turned around instantaneously.

Sebastian..

“MC…” He started, his initial aggravated demeanor quickly dissipating.

“Sebastian..” You replied, turning back around to the sky.

“What are you doing here?” He asked, not sure exactly what to say. He knew why you were here, but didn’t want to seem like he was monitoring your situation.

“Don’t play dumb” You called him out, cracking a small smile before patting the ground next to you, urging her to come sit. He hesitantly joined you, looking up at the stars. “I assume you’re here for the same reason?”

“Something like that..” He trailed off, “Octavia is… less than happy..”

“Ominis is the same way..” You added, biting your lip. As you both fell quiet, Sebastian realized the situation he was faced with.. You two were alone, it was quiet, and there was no possibility of someone interrupting you. And the mood seemed just right.

“MC.. I’m sorry for everything..” Sebastian started after a period of silence, “From fifth year to now.. I’m sorry…” He sighed, fidgeting with his fingers as he continued looking up at the stars, refusing to look your way.

“Sebastian…” You started, feeling your heart strings tighten, “We were both kids..we didn’t even know what we were doing with the dark magic..you can’t blame yourself for that… and this play, we didn’t know what we were getting into..” You started before chuckling slightly, “I guess history repeats itself huh?” You smiled, turning to look up at him. The moon lit up his face beautifully, perfectly defining and highlighting his features. He let out a small laugh, shaking his head in exaggerated disbelief, “Seriously..” You blushed slightly before looking down,

“Can I ask you something?” You ask, this time, you were the one fidgeting with your fingers.

“Of course..” He smiled, putting a hand over yours in efforts to reassure and calm you down. Your fingers immediately felt like they were on fire

“Why did you disappear after that day?..Did you really not care?” You bit your lip in preparation for his response, ready to accept the harsh reality..

Sebastian’s eyes immediately widened before frantically shaking his head, “What?! No of course not, I love— loved you!” He spit out frantically, immediately turning his head to face you, making intense eye contact,

“Ominis…Ominis told me you wanted nothing to do with me.. and he told me I better stay away and respect you if I didn’t want to find myself in Azkaban.. What?! MC, I promise you that all I had wanted was to fix things… I— I even stopped using the dark arts in hopes to bring you back to me..” He poured his heart out all at once. Your eyes widened, your heartbeat quickening at everything he had just said. Had Ominis been lying to you?! Is this why he was so nervous about you and Sebastian being together? What the bell was going on…

“Ominis… no..no he wouldn’t..” You said in disbelief, tears welling up in your eyes as your heart began to shatter. Sebastian quickly noticed and put an arm around you, pulling you into his side. The warmth and once familiar scent comforting you.

“MC… I would never hurt you like that… I thought you knew that.. I just wanted what was best for you! And then.. you looked so happy..” He started, trying to comfort you while also being in shock himself. Ominis. He could’ve had you, gotten you back if it wasn’t for his best friend. What a sneaky little—

“Merlin…” You sighed, a few tears escaping. You never doubted Ominis, and now you were so confused about the events from the past two years, was all of the hurt for nothing? What was even real and not planned out and fabricated..? Sebastian’s mind was running through the same thoughts as yours, a long silence surrounding you as you leaned into his touch… its the only thing that currently felt real..

The stars continued to shine as you both searched your minds and hearts for the right answers. You never left his side, finding comfort in his embrace. While he found comfort in your presence alone.. you felt safe with him.. You both knew nothing needed to be said, mutually understanding how you both felt. You two stayed together until the sun started to peak through the dark sky.

“I suppose we should head back…” You started, looking up at the man who stayed with you all night.

“I suppose so..” he sighed. Your time was over, and who knew if you’d ever get this time together again. You both stood up, giving each other a sad smile and wave before parting ways..

A/N: Um…. So who do we want as endgame ?!?!?! I initially wanted Ominis but Sebastian~~~!! IDK!! Help!

The two of you exited the castle, Sebastian following you like a lost puppy. The crisp autumn air greeted you, the smell of leaves and freshly carved pumpkins filling the air. You always loved this time of year, Hogwarts was always so pretty and nicely decorated. The circumstances reminded you both of your times together going into Hogsmeade to cause trouble, although this time you weren’t the one mindlessly following Sebastian, and you were going to make purchases rather than your typical misadventures.

“Just like old times, Sallow.” You smiled, too busy admiring your surroundings to even remember to acknowledge the awkwardness and tension.

“Yeah, me focused on our mission while you’re too busy staring at the ground.” He scoffed, remembering your tendencies to get easily distracted.

“Shut it! You act like you don’t enjoy the decorated streets!” You shot back at him, nudging him with your elbow in the process.

~

He chuckled, realizing just how much time he missed out with you. He could’ve spent the last year with you and his bestfriend if he had just listened to Ominis in the first place… He hated how Ominis was always right, and this time, the consequence of not listening to him cost him his first love. He couldn’t deny the bitterness he held for Gaunt, as if he was waiting for Sebastian to fuck up to take you from him. Nevermind the fact Ominis treated you the way Sebastian couldn’t, he respected you and encouraged you to do good, while Sebastian was too worried about being a reckless teenager.

Sebastian knew his conflicting feelings towards Ominis would come out sooner or later. How could he be mad at treating you the way you deserved to be treated, but was he really all that good of a guy for shunning Sebastian out of your life? He assumed you knew about Ominis’s actions and probably even encouraged it, knowing that he upmost deserved your resentment. However, your lighthearted demeanor you had around him today started to make him question your motives and feelings.

~

Sebastian smiled at the small physical touch he received from you. Fuck, this was not fair.

You two came up on the Forbidden Forest, each other you staring at it for a bit too long before taking quick glances at each other. You caught each others eyes for a split second and both erupted in a small laugh,

“So MC, do you still frequent the oh-so-scary forbidden forest?” Sebastian asked. The two of you fought countless battles in there, gone through multiple near death experiences, and had fun with the dark arts.

“Wouldn’t you like to know.” MC winked at him. Truthfully, you still used dark magic through the forbidden forest, but that was the extent of it. And you only used in in emergencies of course.. however, if you had told Sebastian the truth about your endeavors, he would instantly know you never stopped using it completely. “What about you..” you queried.

“Wouldn’t you like to know” he mocked, using a higher pitched tone. He also didn’t completely swear of dark magic for similar reasons. Every now and again whenever he was mad at the world, or his girlfriend, he would storm into the forest and just unleash his anger out on spiders and poachers. But he had learned how to control it, making sure he used it sparingly and when he truly needed that release. This habit started the day you broke up with him, the forbidden forest had been practically swept clean due to all of his anger, heartbreak, and shock.

You both exchanged suspicious looks. Sebastian’s heart fluttering with a memory of you two battling in there. Those were the days..

You continued the path to Hogsmeade, you letting your guard almost completely down, too distracted by everything going on around you while Sebastian held his tongue. For the first time, he was lost on how to act. He wanted to say so many things to you but knew this was not the setting to do so. He didn’t want to ruin this time together with his sappy feelings and depressing apologies.

He took the time to really admire and observe you. You had grown into a beautiful woman, with feminine curves and a more defined face. Your hands brushed up against his during your walk, and all he could think about was being able to hold them one last time. To experience you one last time. He hadn’t cherished the last moment you two were truly together, and he beat himself up over it. He just wanted closure…or maybe to continue what you had, but he would never admit that.

“Sebastian!” You called from a distant aisle of Honeydukes. Your shout out completely snapped him out of his trance, he had really just been following you like a lost puppy. Since when did you end up in here? He followed the voice, seeing you debating over what snacks to get the crew.

You could tell that the list was a bunch of B.S. The items were poorly and hastily scribbled on with lots of misspellings and cross outs. The professor must’ve really been desperate, because half the list was either unattainable or had no real reason.

“What do you think..?” You asked, looking over a variety of snacks.

“Well you know what I’d pick!” He smiled, waiting for you to grab a handful of his favorite candy.

You hesitated, biting your lip. “And that would be….?”. You felt awful asking for clarification. At one point this boy was your whole world.. but now your world was engulfed by Ominis. You justified your doubtfulness by how much time had passed.. maybe he changed his mind on his favorite candy..hopefully.

Sebastian’s eyes dropped to the floor.. it was awkward. He made it awkward. Of course he did. Your response brought him back to reality, you really weren’t his anymore and things were different. He scratched the back of his neck, picking up some sour candy, “No worries, it’s been a while anyway..” he excused, obviously dejected. You threw a bit more various candies into the basket, making sure you got Ominis’s favorite candy as well, you knew he’d appreciate it once you got back.

It was getting late, the sun setting as you two made your way out of the town.

“Not bad for the first day on set.” You smiled, looking up at him. He had insisted he carried every single bag you guys acquired, and did so with ease. He had gotten so strong and independent, you couldn’t help but keep your gaze on him for a tad too long. You could tell he was lean through the outlines of his muscles through his shirt. He really did mature and it was apparently he was no longer a boy. How could you not stare at him? He looked down, realizing you had been staring and a small blush crept on his cheeks,

“MC… I missed you.” He blurted out, not even thinking about what those words could entail.

“Sebastian..” you started before he shook his head,

“Don’t answer that, there’s no need..” he wanted to avoid anything else springing up in this moment. When and if you two had time, you would properly discuss everything. Although to both of your surprises, neither Ominis or Octavia got brought up all day. You both avoided it like the plague..scared of being hurt by one another even though you had no valid reason to feel that way. You both were done with one another for over a year now, whatever feelings resurfaced today were definitely not to be discussed.

You entered the castle, dropping off the supplies before walking with each other to the common room. Upon arrival, you noticed Ominis sitting on one of the couches, anxiously waiting for your arrival. On the other side of the room, Octavia gossiped with some of her friends.

“Goodnight Sebastian.” You smiled, resisting the urge to give him a farewell hug.

“Goodnight MC.” He responded. You both parted ways, going back to your significant others.

“Ominis..” you smiled, sitting next to him on the couch.

“Dove, I’m so glad you’re back. How was Sebastian..did he make you uncomfortable at all?” He asked in a hush tone, knowing Sebastian was still in the rook somewhere.

“Relax Omi, here I got you something..” you smiled pulling out the candy. His face brightened, instantly being reassured of your relationship. He kissed you tenderly, expressing his love and thankfulness for your gift. He was so grateful you came back to him. When you parted, you glanced across the room and locked eyes with Sebastian who looked discontent to say the least.

You continued your night with Ominis..the feeling of guilt increasing with every minute.. you should not be this worked up about your ex boyfriend..

A/N: hello i am so sorry for the lack of updates!! This weekend got so busy. Regardless, thank you for all of the support I’ve been receiving! Are these parts too short and drawn out?? Should I devote time into making longer parts that would take a little longer to come out? Lmk Ty!

Practice started in three days, and you and Ominis made the most out of that time while you had time and everything was calm. You both had unspoken feelings of anxiety about the upcoming weeks, both revolving around the same boy. You were both up in the library in the back corner of the second story, your head on his lap while you both studied for an upcoming quiz. These nights were your favorites, quiet, alone, candlelit and cuddly. Ominis made sure he held you tighter, reassuring both you and himself that everything will be fine. In reality, it was just a play, you two were probably making it out a lot worse than it really was.

“MC.. I know you’re falling asleep..there’s no need for you to try and stay up for me” Ominis smiled, running his fingers through your hair.

“It’s nice up here..” You smiled tiredly, “Plus, my room wouldn’t have you in it” You joked, turning your head to look up at him. He smiled, leaning down to kiss the top of your head,

“Are you nervous about the play?” He asked softly, putting down his book and holding your hand.

“A little.. you?” You asked. He nodded in reply. He was comforted by the fact that no matter how close Sebastian could get to you during the play, he knew you would always end up with him at the end of the night.

“You’ll be a great director” You reassured him, avoiding the obvious reasons behind both of your discomforts. You were nervous for two reasons… the first being Sebastian. It had been so long since you interacted with him, you wondered if it would be the same as it was before. And secondly, you didn’t want to make your boyfriend uncomfortable or uneasy. You knew you had to tread carefully. Although your thoughts were messy, your loyalty to Ominis was never in the question. He was your rock, and you were his star, both playing vital roles in each other’s lives.

“And you will be a great lead.. I will enjoy every moment of you on stage.. perhaps even being your number one fan” He whispered.

“Poppy might argue that.” You chuckled, squeezing his hand.

“There’s no competition there, little dove” He smiled, caressing your face. A comfortable silence followed, enjoying each others company for the remainder of the night. No words needed to be spoken, your bond was strong.

~~~

“Merlin!..” Sebastian sighed, alone in his room as he thought about the upcoming days. What did he want? Truly. He liked Octavia, but you were going to be right in front of him. How was that even fair. He raked his fingers through his hair, was he overthinking this? You two weren’t even friends anymore and here he was comparing you to his girlfriend!

“Such an asshole..” he muttered to himself, although it didn’t stop his thoughts from wandering. He decided he needed some air, assuming the library was empty at this time of night, it was past curfew anyway. He threw on his robe, wandering out into the library, the silence reassuring him his assumptions were right. He made his way up the stairs, stopping dead in his tracks at the sight that greeted him. MC and Ominis, asleep together in the back corner. For a split second, his heart stung. It was easy to ignore these two when you’re avoiding them, but to see the reality was different.

He chuckled too himself knowing it was definitely you who had convinced Ominis to come out here after curfew. There was no way that innocent boy would even think to do this. However, the thought reminded him of the past. You hadn’t changed, still charming enough to get your way, still sneaky enough to manage slipping through the halls past curfew. Only a year and a half had passed since you and Sebastian would be in the same position, just down underneath in the restricted area. However being upstairs had shown your maturity, there was comfort in familiarity and not the unknown below. He shook his head, reversing back to his room with a heavy heart.

~~

Today was the day! You and Ominis got ready together, making sure you both looked as good as possible. You wanted to look good because all eyes would be on you, and looking pretty would boost your confidence overall. Ominis, on the other hand, wanted to show off to a specific slytherin boy, proving his worthiness of you in his looks. You, Ominis, Natty, and Poppy all met up outside in the courtyard so you could all go together.

“I’m so excited! MC you look dashing as ever! It was definitely the right choice to make you the lead!” Poppy smiled, “your costar will be jealous!” She smiled, clearly not thinking of the weight those words held. Ominis bit his lip, unsure of how to even go about replying to the doe eyed girl.

“Poppy shush! I appreciate your compliment but you dont have to exageraste!” You smiled, avoiding the elephant in the room, trying to play it off.

“Everyone should be jealous.” Ominis stated, smiling down at you, making you blush.

You made it to the auditorium, students already gathering and waiting for direction. The four of you found yourselves secluded on one side of the room, waiting for the professor to arrive. Sebastian and Octavia stood parallel to you on the opposite end of the room, Sebastian letting his eyes wander a little too much, comforted by the fact there was no way Ominis could notice. You felt lingering eyes on you, but through the sea of students, you couldn’t tell if your mind was just playing tricks on you.

“Good morning everyone! I am glad to see you all this morning! We have lots of work to do!” The professor exclaimed as she made her wait into the room. The students all welcomed her with a combined “Goodmorning Professor!”

“First things first, introductions! I would like all of you to find your counterparts! For example, directors group up, set design group up, supporting and lead actors!” She smiled at the class. Ominis’s stomach turned at the thought, simply squeezing your hand before going off with Natty. You scanned the room, looking for your ex companion. You saw him kiss his girlfriend goodbye as she went off to find her people, you timidly approached him from behind, tapping on his shoulder.

“Sallow.” You greeted, anxiety creeping up on you. You hadn’t interacted with him in over a year and so much has changed. You secretly longed for his companionship again..platonically of course. He turned slowly, a slightly nervous look on his face. You can’t remember the last time Sebastian was nervous around you, it had been so long. He paused, carefully piecing his words together, or lack there of,

“MC.”

It was officially the most awkward thing ever. You glanced over at Ominis and found him looking down at the ground while Natty watched and narrated. You felt this awkward pressure to keep Sebastian at a distance, but you didn’t know how. Sebastian looked over as well, unsure whether he should keep his promise to Ominis or try stepping over the boundary. You both looked back at each other in sync, a small smile creeping up on both of you. Maybe you guys haven’t changed as much as you thought. However, the awkwardness definitely had not stopped, both of you standing awkwardly in silence. The professor noticed this and marched her way over to you

“Come on guys! You’re costars! Costars must get to know each other and form that special bond! Chemistry is important you know! Come on MC, I promise he doesn’t bite!” She chimed, trying to break the tension between you too. You both awkwardly smiled, the poor woman had no idea the chemistry that was once present between you two.

You both continued to stare at one another, waiting for the other to make the first move. However, that was definitely not happening.

“Alright you two! I’m sending you both off to fetch some supplies for us! Normally that would be another team’s job…but it seems you two need an extra push. Go on now! Off you go!” She insisted, practically pushing you both towards the door and then out. On your way out, you glanced at Ominis, mouthing the words ‘I’m Sorry!’ So that atleast Natty could deliver the message for you. You felt terrible, you knew Ominis would be anxious but there was truly nothing you could do in this situation, and you definitely were not allowing Sallow to ruin the play for you.

The heard the door lock behind you once you were both shoved out with a piece of paper scribbled with items you needed. Of course. Now there was really no way out. You looked up at Sebastian, repeating to yourself how Sallow would not ruin this for you and reminded yourself to be the bigger person.

“Shall we go Sallow?”

He stayed quiet, choosing his words carefully “Lead the way L/N”. You smiled, looking down at the paper and shoving it into his chest as you passed by him. He smiled, laughing to himself, the spot you touched him feeling as though it was set ablaze. It was just like old times..

Prompt: You and Sebastian broke up following the events of 5th year. Now it is 7th year, you and Ominis are together and all seems well… until you and Sebastian are casted as lovers in a play.

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10 *completed*

*7th year*

It was finally the day of auditions. You, Ominis and Poppy all got in the long line to audition for your roles. Poor Poppy had memorized 3 different characters worth of lines because of just how many roles she had signed up for. You held Ominis’s hand, however he had been off the past few days. You assumed it was caused by the stress of trying to fit a play into his routine of homework and study dates with you. Unbeknownst to you, that was the last of his concerns. He was stressed ever since he saw Sebastian and his girlfriend sign up for the roles you two had been going for. Merlin forbid you and Sebastian get casted for the main roles. The only hope he held on to was that Sallow did have a girlfriend..but would that really stop him for enjoying it a little too much…? Ominis knew how his ex best friend was, and Sebastian didn’t take the events of 5th year lightly… especially after Ominis blackmailed him in order to stay away from you.

Your eyes wandered around the room of people waiting for their turn. Your heart skipped a beat when you saw him.. Sebastian, and right by his side a girl who was obviously very in love with him. Upon further inspection…she looked extremely familiar, uncomfortably familiar. She had the same hair and skin pigments as you, was roughly the same size. Her robe was adorned with the Gryffindor emblem, which was extremely odd due to the hatred Sebastian had for Gryffindors. Aside from the house, she looked oddly similar to you… as if he was trying to fill the void with the closest thing he could find to you.

Poppy followed your gaze, noticing the same things as you and nudging you slightly. Thank Merlin your boyfriend was blind! He was so caught up in his own thoughts about the boy that he didn’t notice the silence or silent messages between you and Poppy. You and Poppy both gave each other an odd look, clearly understanding what the other was saying. You looked back at Sebastian and the girl…the image so familiar you couldn’t help but picture yourself in her shoes. Both happy, messing around with each other and free from the darkness that once surrounded you both. Sebastian…he had definitely grown into a fine young man since the last time you saw him. His features darker and more defined. You felt guilty thinking about this as you were literally holding hands with your boyfriend to audition together for the couple in the play. That guilt feeling snapping you back to reality.

“I’m so nervous! Who would have thought memorizing three characters would be so difficult!” Poppy sighed, leaning against the wall.

“Poppy… I truly mean no offense..but maybe your chances would be higher if you devoted all that energy into a single character” Ominis half joked. Poppy’s comment snapped him back to reality as well, remembering he was here for you. Not to compete with Sallow boy.

“Maybe..” Poppy huffed defeatedly. Ominis sensed eyes on him yet he couldn’t tell who and from where. You and Poppy had engaged in conversation about the play, and Ominis could not shake the feeling of being stared at. Who would stare at the blind guy? It instantly clicked who possibly could be staring, and to be blunt..it pissed him off. How dare Sebastian cross this line after the many conversations that secretly took place behind your back. Ominis was far from innocent when it came you the relationships between you, him, and Sebastian. The whole thing was truly a mess, but his reasons were good, it was all for you. Masking his annoyance, he put his arm around MC, tilting her head up for a light kiss, reminding anyone who saw that you were his. He didn’t mean this in a possessive way (maybe a little), but he saw himself as your protector, to keep you happy and on the right path. He couldn’t bare to think of what would have happened to you if you stayed with Sallow and the dark arts, you had such a beautiful soul.

~~

“Sebastian! Come on, don’t go silent on me!” Octavia said, noticing her boyfriend’s silence and drifting eyes. MC…it had been so long since he had seen you. He kept his promise to Ominis as much as he could, requesting completely different schedules, taking the long routes around the castle, avoiding every ounce of temptation to sneak you away and truly apologize. He had noticed how happy you were, you were glowing. Your hair soft, clothes neat and fitting you perfectly. He could not see a single imperfection…aside from not being the one by your side of course. Your beauty captivated him, thinking of all the time he missed out with you due to his own selfishness. He really fucked up..and he was fully aware now looking at the picture in front of him. You made friends, got a boyfriend and moved on..while he settled for what was closest to you, Octavia.

He loved her of course, just maybe not to the extent of the hold you had on him. It was always you, but he could never admit that…both to the people around him and himself. He watched as Ominis made a move, watching him embrace and kiss you lovingly. It should be been him..always should’ve been him. However, he knew he shouldn’t think about these things..he had already betrayed you once, he couldnt even think to imagine betraying both Ominis and you again. You were happy…that’s all that mattered right?

“Darling, I apologize, just nervous is all” He stated, it wasn’t a complete lie after all…but what if he was casted with you?

~~

The day progressed, everyone being called in one by one. You watched Octavia and Sebastian go through the doors. And soon, it was your turn. You went first, absolutely killing it. Your confidence made a great impression on the judges, and they assured you that you were a candidate. You couldn’t quite tell how Ominis’s audition went, yet you could assume probably not great… he did not come out elated, but also not defeated.

“I’m fairly confident they will at least consider me..” He joked, holding your hand as you waited for Poppy..

“How could they say no to the hottest blind guy in all of Hogwarts” you joked back. He cracked, letting out a small laugh

“So i’m not the hottest guy…only the hottest blind guy?” He quipped. You shook your head, laughing and leaning into him,

“No! You know what I mean Ominis! It’s not everyday that the hottest guy here also happens to be blind!~” You clarified. He put his arm around you, if he didn’t get the role…he still had you. And chances were he’d still be the director anyway with Natty.

“Hey guys….can we please get lunch..I’m beat..” Poppy said as she approached you from the auditions from. You chuckled, you could tell she tried her hardest and was exhausted.

“Yes! Send an owl to Natty to meet us!” You smiled. Ominis nodded, the two of you getting up. You lead Ominis, hand in hand to the dining hall.

~~

It was the next day and it was announced in the morning that roles had been assigned! You were excited, meeting up with everyone so you could all go and find out together. Ominis was on edge, nervous of the results. What were the chances Sebastian, of all people, would be cast. Since when was he even interested in school events?! Ominis reasoned with himself, composing himself as the four of you made your way to the posting. He always let you lead him, he wholeheartedly trusted you, and you never let him down…(aside from the day you forgot to mention they mopped the floors).

The four of you maneuvered yourselves through the crowd of both disappointed and elated students. There it was…

Supporting Actress: Poppy

Assistant Director: Natty

Prop Designer: Octavia

Director: Ominis

Leading Actress: MC

Leading Actor: Sebastian

Your eyes widened at the realization of who your costar was. How could this happen. What were the chances.

“Ominis..” you sighed, Poppy and Natty understanding the situation, backing away into their own space.

“Hm? What did we get…will I be honored to share the stage with you?” He smiled, a small twinge of anxiety in his voice. His expression was soft, squeezing your hand. You lead him away slightly to a more private corner,

“Ominis… Sebastian is the lead” You said hesitantly, studying his face. He looked down, hanging his head, sighing. How? How does Sebastian manage to always do this!? He knew Sebastian was still fond of you, and if he knew Sallow he would take full advantage of this opportunity.

“I’ll back out! Don’t worry!” You smiled, trying to save both yourself and him from the impending doom to come.

“No MC, I know how much this means to you..and I wont let Sallow ruin this moment for you. I love you MC, I trust you.” He sighed. You knew it was painful for him, and you knew his mind would work against him with anxieties.

“I love you too Omi, you know that. I wouldn’t even be here if it wasn’t for you” You smiled, giving him a reassuring hug and kissing his jawline. He smiled, blushing slightly. How bad could it get? Both him and Sebastian’s girlfriend would be present, surely he was just overthinking the situation.

~~

“Oh..! Seb I didn’t get it!!” Octavia whined, looking at the posting. Perfect!! Sebastian had the best excuse to get out of this dumb play now, he was only doing it for Octavia after all.

“Oh no..” Sebastian sarcastically sighed, looking at the posting himself now.

“Hey atleast you got prop desig- Merlin….” He said, seeing who the lead was, followed by his name directly after.

“Look at you Mr. Star!” She exclaimed, she was so happy for Sebastian, unaware of both his initial discontent and who exactly his costar would be. You hadn’t been mentioned at all between them, too risky, too much annoyance for Sebastian to bother explaining why Octavia was a generic version of his first love.

“I shall support you with he best and upmost high quality props!” Octavia laughed looking up at him lovingly.

Leading Actress: MC…

His heart skipped a beat reading it again..

“Yeah.. wouldn’t be able to do with without you..” he smiled, distracted by his thoughts of what-ifs and possibilities. All of a sudden, this play was the highlight of his year! How could he ever think about getting out of it.

A/N: Thank you all so much for the support and comments! I appreciate every one of you omg <3

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10 *completed*

*7th year*

It was the the beginning of your 7th year, the halls buzzing with excitement from all students. You and Ominis had been dating since the middle of your 6th year. Since the Sebastian incident in the Undercroft, Ominis did everything he could to keep you away from him, even going about threatening the poor kid behind your back. You had no idea of the events happening behind the scenes, so you opted to just believe your drift from Sebastian had been merely coincidental and natural. Although it was odd that you literally never saw him..

As you walked hand in hand with Ominis, you scanned the halls of both new and familiar faces catching up and settling in. Poppy and Natty sat at one of the benches, waving you two over. You tugged on Ominis’s hand, leading him to your two best friends.

“Hello my favorite couple in all of Hogwarts!” Poppy beamed. If Ominis had any doubt of who you were headed to, it instantly vanished. His lips crept into a small smile, a pink blush forming.

“Good afternoon Poppy, I hope your summer was well” He greeted. You and Ominis had been inseparable since the incident, instantly melting into one another. Ominis was the reason you had Poppy and Natty now. His influence on you made a huge difference in your social life. He made sure to walk you to class, turned studying into dates, and it had an overall positive effect on how you treated others. When you were with Sebastian, it was you two against the world and although you loved it at the time, it truly did bring you down..

“Did you see the posting? Hogwarts is hosting a play to welcome back students and promote unity between the houses” Natty smiled, gesturing over to the poster next to the library. You chucked at the mention of unity, remembering the days where Sebastian convinced you Gryffindors were “practically born evil” as he would put it.. however under further review, he may have been biased against a certain ginger boy.

Sebastian.. your thoughts occasionally wandered to him. You couldn’t help but question what could’ve been if you two hadn’t begun succumbing to the dark arts. You often wondered if he had stopped after that day as you (mostly) did. You had just learned how to properly utilize them in dire situations in battles outside of the castle. Ominis couldn’t completely get rid of your spark after all..

You peered at the posting, students swarming that spot, signing up for auditions and volunteering helping hands.

“Oh! That sounds like fun! It wouldn’t hurt to try right? I mean it is our last year, we should all sign up!” Poppy chimed. You looked over at your boyfriend, his smile never fading. He was so happy for you, having these friends and being able to call you his girlfriend. He was so proud.

“You know Poppy, that could be fun, Ominis and I taking the stage..what do you think Ominis?” You asked, squeezing his hand.

“I’m not sure they’d fancy the blind guy acting in front of a crowd…perhaps something offscreen.. regardless of my role you have the promise of flowers.” He smiled. To be honest, Ominis knew there was no way a blind guy was getting a lead role in the play. However, he didn’t want his absence to influence your decision, so he opted with something behind the scenes

You laughed, Ominis was truly the most supportive and best lover you had ever had. It was like he was taken out of a novel and placed into your hands. His efforts to make you happy had no limits.

You placed a light kiss on his cheek, happy with his agreement, “Yes! Come on guys lets sign up”. Your group headed over to the poster as the crowd dissipated. In bold letters it stated that all 7th years received priority due to the limited time they had left in the castle. Perfect!

Poppy signed up for just about every role: understudy, sound tech, prop decorator etc.. she just wanted to be as involved as possible.

Natty opted for assistant director

Ominis signed up for main director, him and Natty would work great together if it worked out that way

And you had the confidence to take the female lead, you knew you wanted it. And Ominis nurtured your confidence over the past year. Hell, if things hadn’t changed since 5th year, you probably wouldn’t have even considered the possibility of performing.

“Mmm..” you heard Poppy mumble as she looked at the sign up sheet concerned. You raised an eyebrow. She turned to whisper something in Ominis’s ear that you couldn’t quite make out. Ominis’s face twisted for just a second, taking the pen from you and writing his name next to the male lead role.

“Ominis?” You questioned, utterly confused because he had just told you he didn’t have much of an interest.

“It could be fun.” He stated bluntly, putting his arm around your shoulder and holding you close. You noticed his sudden change in demeanor, but decided against questioning him in front of your friends.

“This is so exciting!” Poppy exclaimed. The four of you headed to the library, discussing the possibilities of what 7th year could bring to everyone.

You were so busy signing up for the play with your friends that you didn’t pay any attention to who else was on that list…

FEMALE LEAD: Octavia <3

MALE LEAD: Sebastian <3

A/N Thank you for the attention Part 1 got! This is mostly a filler but I promiseee it’ll get angsty and juicy! It’s been so long since I dabbled in writing rather than reading :)

*5th Year*

~

You and Sebastian had grown quite fond of each other over the course of your fifth year. You were intrigued by his late night adventures and sneaking off around the castle into forbidden areas. Ominis, Sebastian’s best friend watched as he saw the new 5th year go from a innocent newcomer to one of the students the professors kept an eye out for.

Today, however, was different than the rest. You and Sebastian were in the Undecroft, your previous conversation with Ominis opened your eyes to everything that really happened. You and Sebastian really used the Dark Arts, Sebastian’s uncle was actually dead, and you had racked up a not so great reputation even with the ancient magic you possessed. People saw you as a waste of talent around Hogwarts and professors grew more disappointed by the day while you were skipping class to sneak around the castle with your boyfriend. Ominis also mentioned how Sebastian had changed so much since using the Dark Arts, and he was worried for your sake as well. He didn’t necessarily hold you 100% accountable for Solomon’s death, he tried seeing the good still in you even if his best friend seemed lost.

“MC, you okay? Normally you’re stoked when I bring you back books from the restricted section.” Sebastian questioned as he looked down at you. You were pulled out of your trance, looking down at the assortment of books sprawled across the table. It didn’t feel exhilarating anymore, a small tinge of guilt washed over you.

“Sebastian.. don’t you think we should maybe take a step back from all of this? We still have time to turn some things around for us..” You said, nervous to look up at him. These thoughts had been eating away at you, wondering about the possibilities if you two just slowed down.

“What? You sound like Ominis. Don’t tell me he’s in your ear now too. Can’t the guy just take a hint that we’re happy the way things are.” He grumbled, shifting slightly against the wall. His response made you think, were you really happy doing this.. or did you just love Sebastian too much? Under further thought, Ominis made some good points the day before, and he seemed genuinely concerned with how your future might play out. He also knew better about the dark arts than Sebastian, having experienced the true consequences of them growing up.

“Well.. what if Ominis is right?” You queried, looking up at him to study his response. As the words left your mouth, Sebastian’s face twisted, shaking his head and walking over to you, grabbing hold of your hands.

“Why would you listen to Ominis and not your boyfriend? What are you even doing having these private conversations with him regarding us?” He asked, gripping your hands tighter as he intensely looked down at you. This was strange behavior, the look in his eyes was angry, his body stiff, the grip on your hands making you really realize his strength and the physical power he had over you.

“I wasn’t doing anything! How could you even suggest something like that?! He was your best friend first, he still obviously cares about you!” You retorted in defense, matching the anger in his voice. Oh, Sebastian loved your feisty side..when it wasn’t directed at him. The confidence and pride you had in yourself is what attracted him to you, but it was not well received when aimed at him.

“Ominis is old news MC! He made it very clear he wants nothing to do with me…with US! So why is he even talking to you like this. Why is he trying to take YOU away from ME now.” He said, getting angrier at his best friend. Truthfully, you always remained on decent terms with Ominis, he saw the good in you and was making the effort to fight for you…while Sebastian continued being wreckless.

The conversation you had with Ominis was right after you got out of detention and he was in the hall on one of the benches. The reason for detention this time was because of Sebastian essentially throwing you under the bus on one of your late night castle strolls. He told you he couldn’t afford another detention like “you could”, and casted disillusionment on only himself as a professor turned the corner. Normally, you would both be cloaked, but he left you vulnerable in the halls. Of course he didn’t think it was a big deal..why would it be? You guys could just laugh it off later on in the Undercroft together. That instance, immediately followed by the conversation with Ominis is what opened your eyes. A breaking point even.

You were snapped back to reality as your hands began to ache, “Sebastian, I’m just saying maybe—“

“Maybe, you should stay the fuck away from him.” He cut you off

“What the hell Sebastian!” You shouted, forcefully pulling your hands out of his, your nails scratching him in the process. “I was trying to be civil with you but this is enough! Don’t you dare cut me off again! Don’t you dare dismiss my thoughts and feelings again! Maybe, maybe Ominis was right about you! A true, loving and honest boyfriend would not be acting like this right now!” You shouted, backing away from him. You knew this was getting out of hand. Sebastian’s seethed with anger at what you just said.

“You absolute wretch! You..” He shouted back pulling out his wand, as the door to the Undercroft opened. Ominis stood at the entrance, definitely hearing what Sebastian had said to you. This was not at all the Sebastian you knew and fell in love with…the dark arts were getting a hold of him and you hadn’t even realized. You drew your wand in response…just in case. Once he noticed Ominis, he dropped his wand, looking over at you…fully realizing what situation had unfolded.

“Sebastian, I can’t do this. I’m done. You’ve gone too far this time.” You stated, putting your wand away, trying to keep as much of your composure as possible. Ominis stood stoic by the entrance, internally seething because of Sebastian. It was one thing for Sebastian and him to clash, but for him to come after you? It was different.

“MC wait… I’m sorry” Sebastian started, taking a step towards you. You backed up, shaking your head as a single tear rolled down your cheek.

“No…” you sighed, keeping your eyes on him as you backed up towards the entrance…towards Ominis. Sebastian’s expression had dropped, his body going back to being loose as he watched. You looked at him one last time before turning your back and leaving.

“The dark arts Sebastian. I warned you.” Ominis stated disappointedly. The words hit Sebastian like knives. If he ever doubted Ominis before, he saw for himself what they were doing to him. Without time for a response, Ominis turned his back in search for MC.

A/N if this gets no attention I’ll cry and stick to just reading them haha, also powerful mc is the only mc I accept
