Warnings: reference to pain

Y/N’s POV 

I collapse into one of the armchairs facing the dwindling fire in the Slytherin common room, the pain almost unbearable as it still ricochets through me in spasms. The memory of Sebastian’s use of the Cruciatus Curse lingers, tormenting me even as I try to catch my breath. My vision blurs as I try to focus on the crackling flames before me, seeking solace in their dancing glow. The darkness threatens to consume me, both within and without. Each wave of agony serves as a reminder of the horrors lurking in the shadows, waiting to ensnare me once more. 

As I struggle to regain my composure, the sound of footsteps echoes through the room, drawing closer with each passing moment. A familiar presence fills the air, accompanied by the subtle scent of Elm wood and the faint rustle of robes. 

“Ominus,” I whisper, relief flooding through me at the thought of his arrival. Despite his sarcastic demeanour and guarded exterior, there’s a warmth in his presence that I find comforting, a flicker of light amidst the darkness. 

I hear him approach, his footsteps measured yet purposeful, as if navigating the world with a sense of certainty born from experience. His voice cuts through the silence like a blade, sharp yet tinged with concern. 

“Are you okay?” Ominus’ words are more a worry than a question as he was there, he saw Sebastian cast the curse and could do nothing to stop him unless he wanted us all to die down in the Slytherin Scriptorium. I wasn’t going to let Ominus go through the Cruciatus Curse again after his childhood. 

I can sense the tension in the air, the weight of unspoken truths between us like a veil. He wants to move closer but it’s as if he’s scared to get too close but before I can tell him it’s okay I feel another spasm of pain sweep through me. My hands grip the arms of the chair so tightly I think I bend a nail back and my whole body trembles, a whimper of pain escaping my lips. 

Ominus lets out a soft sound in response, a mixture of sympathy and frustration. Before I can process it, he’s kneeling in front of me, his hands gently prying mine from the arms of the chair and into his own. His touch is surprisingly gentle, a stark contrast to the harsh realities of our world. 

I can feel the warmth of his hands in mine, a comforting presence amidst the storm raging within me. His fingers intertwine with mine, a silent promise of support and understanding. And as he whispers soothing and sweet nothings, I find myself drawn to the sound of his voice, a beacon of hope in the darkness. 

The pain begins to subside, gradually fading into the background like a distant memory. I take a deep breath, willing myself to focus on the present moment, to find solace in Ominus's presence. For in his clouded blue eyes, I see a reflection of my own struggles, a shared bond forged in the fires of adversity. 

Ominus knelt before me, his clouded blue eyes reflecting the flickering flames of the fire. In this moment, he appears so open and vulnerable, a stark contrast to the guarded facade he often wares. His pale skin, dotted with moles, seems to glow in the dim light of the common room, accentuating the sharp angles of his jawline and cheekbones. His blond hair, starting to stray from his usual slicked back style, framing his face like a halo, adding to his air of mystery and intrigue. Dressed in black trousers, a matching button up shirt and a sleek waistcoat, he exudes an aura of elegance and sophistication, a vision of dark allure in the midst of chaos. 

As I gaze into his eyes, I feel a surge of emotions coursing through me, sending butterflies dancing in my stomach. I had always admired Ominus from afar, drawn to his enigmatic charm and razor-sharp wit. But I never dared to hope that he could ever feel the same way about me, that beneath his cynical exterior, there lay a heart capable of love. 

Yet here he is, kneeling in front of me with a tenderness that takes my breath away. In his presence, I feel seen and understood in a way that I have never experienced before. And as he reaches out to brush away a stray tear, I can’t help but wonder if perhaps there is more to our connection than mere friendship. 

Something in me seems to break, a dam bursting forth with emotions I can no longer contain. I’m sliding off the armchair and into Ominus's waiting arms, my face buried in the crook of his neck as he wraps me in his embrace. His arms not hesitating to encircle me like a fortress, offering solace and protection in the midst of the storm. 

I can feel the steady rhythm of his heartbeat against my cheek, a comforting cadence that soothes the turmoil raging within me. His whispered words wash over me like a gentle tide, reassuring me that I am safe, that nothing can hurt me now. And in this moment, surrounded by darkness yet bathed in the warmth of his embrace, I know that I have found a sanctuary in Ominus's arms. For in his presence, I am no longer alone, no longer adrift in a sea of uncertainty.

I pull away just enough to search Ominus’ face for some sign, any hint of what lies beneath the surface. In the dim light of the common room, I catch a flicker of something in his clouded blue eyes, a spark of warmth amidst the shadows. It’s enough to embolden me, to give voice to the feelings that have long lain dormant within my heart. 

With trembling hands, I cup Ominus's face in mine, guiding his gaze to meet mine with an unspoken plea. His lips part slightly, a silent invitation that I cannot ignore. And in that moment, I lean forward, closing the distance between us with a soft, cautious kiss. 

As our lips meet in a soft, cautious kiss, I feel a surge of electricity coursing through my veins, igniting a fire within me that I never knew existed. Ominus' lips are warm and inviting, a tantalising promise of the unknown. His touch is gentle yet insistent, drawing me deeper into the embrace of our shared moment. 

For a heartbeat, the world falls away around us, leaving nothing but the intoxicating sensation of his presence. I can taste the faint hint of raspberry ice cream lingering on his lips, a lingering reminder of our shared meal earlier in the evening. It's a bittersweet symphony of flavours, a testament to the complexities of our connection. 

As we lose ourselves in the rhythm of our kiss, time seems to slow down, allowing me to savour every moment, every sensation. I feel the soft brush of Ominus's fingers against my skin, sending shivers down my spine. His lips, warm and tender, press against mine with a gentle urgency, igniting a fire within me that threatens to consume us both. 

But just as the kiss reaches its peak, Ominus breaks away, a rare smile gracing his tantalising lips. His eyes sparkle with a mixture of amusement and affection, a sight that takes my breath away. A chuckle escapes him as I try to follow his lips with mine, desperate to recapture the fleeting moment of intimacy. 

"You're eager, aren't you?" he teases, his voice laced with amusement. His fingers gently trace the contours of my cheek, sending waves of warmth cascading through me. "I've been wanting to do that since I first met you, you know," he admits, his tone soft yet filled with undeniable sincerity. 

His words hang in the air, a confession of longing and desire that takes me by surprise. In that moment, I realise that perhaps I'm not alone in my feelings, that Ominus harbours his own hidden depths of affection beneath his guarded exterior. 

And as I gaze into his clouded blue eyes, I see a reflection of my own desires, a shared bond that defies all logic and reason. In the warmth of his embrace, I find solace and strength, a sanctuary where love knows no boundaries.

“I’ll keep you safe Darling.”

ok i'll bite cos youve got me intrigued. i wont ever play hogwarts legacy but who are these people Sebastian and Ominus that you keep reblogging about?

AH HA!

Okay yes thank you I'm glad someone asked but there will be MANY spoilers ahead!!!

Both Slytherin boys, 15 years old, basically they're your characters best friends in Hogwarts Legacy regardless of the House you choose, and have a integral part to play on if you choose to go down the good or evil route.

Ominis Gaunt is a parseltongue, and blind, and his "sentient" wand pulls him around Hogwarts. Possible great uncle to Voldemort (according to the dates in the HP wiki), his family would torture the local muggles by using Crucio on them (his brother possibly Marvolo Gaunt it's never officially stated in the game).

As a child Ominis refused to participate, so his family used Crucio on him until he relented and used Crucio on the muggles too, something he's never been able to forgive himself for. Because of this he hates the ties to the dark arts that his family has and distances himself from them entirely, and anything to do with the dark arts in general.

Which is what makes the angst so great and the shipping so great when it comes to his best friend, Sebastian Sallow.

Sebastian is crucial to the story, he has a sister named Anne who was cursed and is in constant pain (it's a long story i won't go into but it's a big part of the plot of the game) and who had to leave Hogwarts to remain at home with her uncle as their parents died a few years back.

In a desperate attempt to try and cure her Sebastian delves into the dark arts and teaches himself all 3 unforgiveable curses across the game (he can teach your character too if you choose), which causes the dark arts hating best friend Ominis to constantly be berating him, yet constantly forgiving him, yet constantly hating him for choosing this path, yet constantly refusing to leave his side and AHHHH I LOVE IT!

Some parts of the game get REALLY dark, like there's one quest where you're finding this secret scriptorium that belonged to Salazar Slytherin, and your character is trapped with both of them in a small corridor with nothing but a dead body belonging to Ominis' aunt, a locked door with screaming faces on it, and the word CRUCIO scratched on the floor.

The only way forward is to cast Crucio on one of the others, which the aunt couldn't do because she was trapped there alone so she starved to death. Ominis refuses to do it despite the fact he's the only one that's done it before, so Sebastian either casts it on your character, or you can cast it on him. Either way, poor Ominis standing there only able to hear one of his best friends scream in agony while the other uses a dark curse must be torture for him! (excuse the heart eyes oh baby the angst).

I mean throughout the game Sebastian uses Imperio to make a goblin stab himself instead as he was about to kill Anne, he also murders his own Uncle using Avada Kedavra, and at the end you and Ominis can either turn him over to the authorities (which ends with you hearing he's been expelled and awaiting trial), or you can keep it all a secret. Either way there's Azkaban angst or forgiveness between the deeply damaged Ominis who just cannot turn away his best friend despite the darkness that surrounds him, he will stick with him always <3<3<3<3

Plus there's also a ton of flirting that goes on, between them and your character. My favourite is just before the crucio part where we're all exploring in pitch black corridors:

Sebastian: "Hmm, a dark ominous corridor......my favourite."

Ominis: "...no comment."

I literally guffawed at that, a literal guffaw, I mean what were the writers actually trying to say here because it's damn obvious and yet... XD LOL

Plus around the time you first meet Sebastian (depending on what House you chose), you meet him during the dueling lesson and he just looks at you and says, "Time to give you a proper Hogwarts welcome." in this like proper sultry cheeky voice there's no other way of describing it.

Ahem, so, yeah...I might love them just a bit.

Ah, feels good to be back in the HP fandom again.
