Colors of a Slytherin

Chapter fifteen

The rain kept pouring down, the sky a dreary grey, and the orange leaves were falling from the trees like tears from the heavens.
Despite the gloom outside, the fire in the fireplace cast a warm and inviting glow throughout the room. Sebastian and Ominis sat together at the table, their faces illuminated by the flickering flames.

As I looked at them, I couldn't help but be struck by their beauty. They were both so stunning, so perfect in their own ways. How was it possible that I had been blessed with not just one, but two incredible men?

The longer I sat there with them, the more I felt like I was living in a dream. It was as if I had been transported to another world, one where everything was perfect and beautiful. A dream I will be forced to wake up from, sooner than I thought.

I don't know what's happening between us, whether we're all together or not. But I'm afraid to ask, afraid that I'll lose one of them or both.

My feelings for Sebastian have always been there since the first day. It was like a dream come true when he told me his feelings for me and kissed me.

And Ominis has always been there for me, the one I can count on no matter what. Looking out for me, comforting me when I'm sad or scared. Always cheering me on.

I never really saw him as anything more than a friend until the night he helped me to bed. Suddenly, everything became clear. And when we kissed under the game Spin the Wand, all the feelings I had hidden away from myself came to the surface.

I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.

But I love Sebastian, too, with my whole heart.
Is it possible to love two people at the same time? I've grown up with the idea that one partner is all you need.

I don't know if I'll ever be able to choose between them. Either way, I'll still be heartbroken if I'm with Sebastian or with Ominis alone. Can I live with that one piece missing from me?

Sebastian put his hand on mine, jolting me out of my daydreams. "Love?" he asked in his husky voice.

"Yes?" I answered, feeling a little confused.

"We were thinking of heading back to Hogwarts today to study in the library," Ominis chimed in.

"Okay, just let me get ready and then we can head out," I replied, feeling a little flustered.

"Of course," Sebastian said, kissing my cheek as I headed into the bedroom to change.

I slipped into a pair of black, tight pants and one of Sebastian's sweatshirts. It was light gray with Slytherin's logo on it, and it smelled just like him. I took a deep breath, feeling my heart flutter with love.

Sebastian's eyes sparkled as he gazed at me, a smile playing at the corners of his lips. "That sweatshirt looks amazing on you," he said, his voice soft and full of affection.

"Keep it," he added, before kissing me deeply.

My heart raced as his arms enveloped me, and I felt myself melting into his embrace. Our lips met, and I was lost in the sweet, tender kiss.

I grabbed my bag and we left through the door.

Hogwarts.

As we arrived at the castle, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The halls were eerily quiet, and there weren't many students around. Most of them had probably gone home for the weekend to see their families and friends.

We settled into the library, sitting beside a table that faced a window. The rain was tapping against the window, and tree branches were scratching at the glass.
