🎁 + a letter after a few too many butterbeers ?

My dearest Ominis, she writes, giggling, even though she had just told her friend that she was doing 'homework' here at The Three Broomsticks.

I think you should change your last name to Sallow!

Ominis Sallow.

How do you like the sound of that? Please, you have to let Sebastian and I adopt you to our family name. Or I suppose there's a different way to propose such.

Anne giggles madly again... Ominis can definitely hear her from his location of right next to her.

Think on it. Give it a try when you're ready.

With affection, Anne.

For some reason, she felt it evenly brilliant of an idea to press her thumb to the interior of her glass, and them stamping the foam of her drink to the top of the letter, as though he'd known to smell the letter for its seal of influence.

Anne then folds the letter, sliding it over to Ominis' side of the table, nudging him.

@lenientgaunt inquired:

"i missed the part where that's my problem."  // this deadpan snake.. istg

    “It--- it isn’t. I was just---” Complaining. She was simply complaining. Greenlee just forgot whom she was speaking with when she decided to let her thoughts run away with her. To be fair, she couldn’t exactly complain to Natty about getting detention--- she’d have questions that Greenlee wasn’t keen on answering. She barely liked divulging things to Sebastian as he always wanted to know more but he just so happened to be her best bet when she needed information or a lookout.  

    Hence why the new partners-in-crime of sorts ended up in detention. Thankfully, not for any library infiltrations otherwise it may have resulted in more, but detention was still detention. 

    “...You know, sometimes people just say things without attempting to involve you in their issues. I don’t intend to get you involved in anything--” Not that he would be inclined to help her anyways. “--- I gather Sebastian already pulls you into enough things as it is---- on that note, have you ever been in detention? I imagine just by proxy Sebastian can pull someone into a situation after all--- although, you do have connection as it were so perhaps you’ve weaseled your way out of it, hmm?”

@lenientgaunt asked: [ walk ] sender helps receiver walk by staying by their side and holding onto them. – for Sebastian

Sebastian groaned a little, but he was certainly grateful for Ominis' help. "I'm really glad you're here Ominis, I'm sorry I've been a terrible friend recently." he told the other Slytherin. In his pursuit to find a cure for Anne, he was neglecting everything. Schoolwork, extracurriculars that weren't Crossed Wands and more importantly Ominis. Merlin, he wouldn't have been surprised if Ominis had just left him where he was after getting caught in one of Peeve's prank and faceplanking the stone floor. "it's just my Uncle is refusing to look for anything to help Anne now."

"He said there is nothing else." But Uncle Solomon was wrong. Completely. Sebastian missed the days where he, Anne and Ominis were a force to be reckoned with, having fun, tormenting first years. He just needed to remember not to shut everyone out. Especially Ominis. "I don't know what I would do without you Ominis." a bit sentimental to be sure, but complete fact, and he wanted the other to know it. Wanted him to know how much he meant to him.

@lenientgaunt asked : "You just ran into the wall. It's time to lie down." // for Garreth , perhaps? c:

Garreth sighed and nodded. "I suppose you're right." He said rubbing his forehead. "I stayed up all night remaking my potion recipe." He told Ominis. "I'm this close to perfecting it. I just know it."

Oh, was Anne having a nice, calm evening read by the fire place in their common room? How lovely. Too bad one certain Gaunt was going to ruin that for her. Well, it wasn't his fault entirely. Sebastian being Sebastian, ending up in all sorts of trouble, was at fault here. Again. Ominis was simply the very exhausted messenger. Again. He sat down beside her in the emerald couch and reached his hand out over the small coffee table to find her cup of tea, taking it for himself, before sitting up and crossing a leg over the other. Mildly distinguished. "Anne," he took a sip, "I have some rather pleasant news."

There was a teapot and then three empty teacups surrounding it. Of course he had to take hers and not pour his own! He didn't even care to ask its contents, and he would know now... it wasn't any ordinary tea for their age bracket. It was bitter, slightly fruity, and it had an effect.

Hog's tea. Of Hogsmeade.

A wrinkle of her nose and a glare was warranted, along with a gentle huff. Or rather, a dramatic sigh, one so that their fellow cohort from a neighbouring study table could hear her displeasure.

"Ominis," she pronounced in return. She reached out for one of the drinkless cups, and 'sipped' even louder. And then tapped it as she set it down. "Do go on with your news. I hope it to be an event I can fall asleep to."

@lenientgaunt . ❛ i am this close away from strangling you. ❜ for sebastian?

these 'threats' were ones that sebastian was almost used to by now. of course, ominis never meant them.. or, he thinks he doesn't mean them, at least. sure, he knows that he can be a pain, but he wouldn't go as far as to kill his dear old friend.

❛ really? i'd like to see you try, ominis. ❜ there was a hint of amusement in his challenge. ❛ i'd hate for you to have to explain to the professors why you had to strange your dearest friend. ❜ the last two words were emphasized, like that was a point for him as to why he shouldn't be strangled.

@lenientgaunt asked: "they told me you'd be trouble. clearly that was an understatement." – For Eilidh

The redhead looked up from the book she was reading at the sound of his voice. "Am I allowed to inquire as to who was saying I was trouble?" because whomever it was would determine how right they were in all honesty. Because in terms of the average student in Hogwarts, she was actually very helpful and doing tasks for them with very little reward in all honest.

Sebastian, undoubtedly that was a grey area in all honest on depending on what exactly Ominis knew about. Frankly, she was just hoping he was inferring to the incident in Hogsmeade with the troll. "There had been some... odd... situations since finding out I was to start attending here." She admitted closing her book. Given she was on Rookwood's radar, and Ranrok's. "But I do try my best to stay out of trouble." okay, that was not quite the truth, she ended up involved in a lot of things. She wasn't going to talk about all the empty Wiggenweld vials in her bag.
