IN HER EYES. || OMINIS GAUNT X CLARA DIGGORY FANFIC. | HL REIMAGINED

CHAPTER V: APOLOGISE

The kiss was unmistakably and positively leaving me breathless. It shouldn't be happening, but it was. I had so many responsibilities to my name, knowing that Ominis should never know of this but... This man had always had a grip on my heart, no matter how he may have treated me in the past. There was no justifying anything he had ever done, but there was also no justifying the things I had done when needing to have something done and have it done right.

And so, I let Sebastian gather me up in his arms, walk me back towards the countertops. Feeling my back being pushed up against a large cupboard, the breath being knocked out of my lungs. A gasp left my lips and I could feel Sebastian pulling away from me, his forehead falling against mine. "We cannot do this. It's not fair on Ominis and definitely not on Amos." He whispered and as much as he was right, I hated to admit that he was. It might be selfish of me, to want him in the way I was currently craving, but I couldn't help myself. I was so overwhelmed with intense happiness to see him alive and well, to the extent that I craved him fully.

He pulled away entirely, looking at me with blown eyes. I knew he was having as much of a hard time as I was resisting sharing this, the ultimate connection between two people. "Sebastian," I whispered as I watched his gaze drop to the floor, sliding off the countertop and nearly tiptoeing towards him. My arms cautiously snuck around his neck, dipping my head down just a little to look into his eyes and that's when he let out a groan. "Merlin's beard, Clara- Stop looking at me like that."

And for a moment, only briefly, a coy smile graced my features. "Like what, Sallow?" I whispered and that's when he rolled his eyes, his hands grabbing firmly at the back of my thighs and hoisting me up into the air. His lips fervently pressed against mine and I couldn't help but let out a whine. He then pushed me up against the wall, kissing me with such need and passion - something I had never felt before. Ever.

Our lips disconnected, his own trailing down to my jawline and neck, nibbling at my collarbone. My head fell backwards against the wall, desperate gasps escaping me.
Though that's when the front door unlocked and I could hear someone cleaning off his shoes. Sebastian was quick to slide me back down and onto my feet, taking his distance and standing behind a chair; To hide his very obvious arousal.

Ominis then proceeded through the door into the living area, his wand drawn out as he canted his head to the side. "Ominis- Love, what are you doing here? I thought you had classes to teach?" I questioned, a sense of nervousness in my tone of voice. He set his satchel down, lips pursed in a tight line. "Well, classes have been suspended until further notice, there's a dark wizard who has a foothold at Hogwarts, a mole amongst our faculty." He responded and I couldn't help but be taken aback.

"That's... Concerning." I added and he nodded. "Very. But, Clara, who else is here?"
He was perceptive, even without his eyesight and I hesitantly looked at Sebastian, who cleared his throat. Ominis didn't even need a second to figure out just who it was and his eyes widened, the cloudy haze disappearing from them and I could see him looking right at Sebastian.

Sebastian whom had just been ravishing me.

"Sebastian?" He spluttered, swallowing thickly as tears came to his eyes. Ominis was emotional just by seeing him. The fact that he was standing there in our home was positively surprising, to say the least. I watched as he closed in on Sebastian and wrapped him up in his arms, pulling him flush against him. There were tears falling from Ominis' eyes at this point and I could see Sebastian looking at me from where his chin was resting on his best friend's shoulder.

To be fair, and cruelly so, I didn't feel any regret whatsoever for what Sebastian and I had done upon which Ominis could have walked in on. That only made it worse. There was no guilt whatsoever and this was probably simply because Sebastian felt so familiar, so known, it... It was inexplicable.
