(SoftCore Smut Warning)
POV ADA MARROW
"I can't believe you kept Victors' Prefect badge." I rubbed a hand over my face standing with Nox at the bottom of the girls dorm stairs. I had caught him flirting with Poppy in our Dorm.
"It's not my fault he hasn't found it yet. They should really charm these things and also what is this about a Beast rescue mission?" Nox questioned me, pocketing the badge again.
I pursed my lips looking away from him to the door that now opened, I had gotten quickly dressed and grabbed my things while Poppy had to change from her bed clothes.
"I'm ready! Let's go!" Poppy exclaimed, starting to walk past Nox until he grabbed her hand.
"Oh no! You're not going anywhere until I know what you're both doing."
"Nox! Come on Ada and I do this all the time, it's fine."
I bit my lip, "Well actually Poppy it's going to be a bit more like that time we went to Horn Tail Hall, not just some Poacher Camp." I kept my voice low so no one else still lingering in the dorms would hear us.
"Horn Tail Hall?" Nox questioned.
"A dragon fighting ring Ada and I infiltrated last year." Poppy waved him off, "If it's anything like the Hall we should be fine." Nox was looking more and more flabbergasted.
"Yes well we're not facing Poachers… We're going to a ministry camp and freeing the Basilisk and Chimera."
"I'm sorry, freeing the Basilisk and Chimera?" Nox hissed out, moving closer to the both of us,
"I'm in!" Poppy said excitedly, "Should I get my mask?"
"You're both dense in the head…"
"Yes! Can you get mine as well? It's in my wardrobe." Poppy nodded, hurrying back into our room.
"Masks? You both have masks?" Nox eyes were wide.
"Oh and my cloak Poppy!" I called out, ignoring my brother, Poppy popped back out and grabbed my hand quickly leading me down the chairs past my brother. Though he was hot on our heels as we left the Common Room.
"Ominis knows where the camp is at." I murmured to Poppy, "he's coming with us to subdue the basilisk."
"Oh this will be fun!" Poppy seemed rather excited to go back to our usual shenanigans. Our path out however was blocked by Nox.
"You two aren't going anywhere. Let alone freeing a bloody Basilisk and Chimera from Ministry custody."
"Well they won't really be free… I'm going to put them in a Vivarium where I can feed and care for them properly." Nox looked even more horrified at my words then at the prospect of truly freeing the beasts.
"Ada they're not pets…" His voice raised a pitch, mouth hanging a bit open.
"Well… I mean not with that attitude." I teased him, elbowing him out of the way.
"You can come with us if you want Nox." Poppy offered, walking around him to follow me to the exit. Nox rubbed his gloved hands over his face and groaned.
"Dammit all… Fine! I'm coming."
Once we stepped out of the Common Room Poppy handed me my mask and I started to rest the cloak over my shoulders.
"Ominis said they had been starving the Basilisk to make it more volatile so I'm to assume they're doing the same to the Chimera." I told the two walking them along the hall towards the stairs, "I had him get some meat from the kitchens."
There he was standing at the foot of the stairs, two sacks sitting down by his feet. Ominis head turned towards us.
"There's three of you, who else is joining us?" He questioned, brow raising up.
"Nox is." I said, walking up to give Ominis a quick kiss on the cheek, picking up one of the sacks. Ominis face twisted up to a scowl, a scoff that sounded more of a growl left him.
"Now Gaunt that isn't nice, come on I did save you after all." Nox chided him, picking up the other sack of meat.
"I already thanked you for that. Doesn't mean I have to tolerate your presence." Ominis snapped out. Nox rolled his eyes, head shaking.
"Please boys, let's try to get along tonight, we have to be on the same page. We can not get caught." I murmured, "You know how to get to where the camp is?" I asked Ominis hand resting on his arm leading our small group up the stairs.
"Yes, I heard some of our peers talking about the camp they set up at the cliff side above the Quidditch Pitch. I'm assuming that's where they're keeping the beasts." He said, walking with me towards the direction of the front entrance of the school. It wasn't curfew yet so we should be able to leave through the front gate.
"So you don't know if the Beasts are even there." Nox sighed.
"It's the only place close enough to the Pitch but far enough from the school. You'll just have to take my word for it Nox." Ominis had touched his chest hand flattening over the gear he had worn earlier today.
"Poppy and Ihave done this plenty of times, it won't be difficult, we just need to stay out of sight and be quiet and most importantly they can't know we're students. If one of us is caught then we're all caught."
The camp was much larger than expected, we stayed hidden behind a rocky outcrop. I licked my lips attempting to assess the best form of action.
"What was that about this not being difficult?" Nox mused to me, I saw Poppy put her mask on and I followed suit then looked at Nox and Ominis. They didn't have cloaks either but Nox did something I hadn't seen before he pressed his hand against his face. A darkening mist overcame his face then solidified into a skull mask covering most of his upper face save for his mouth.
He then messed up his hair so it was more limp, then turned his vest inside out so the green school vest only showed the black inner cloth. He turned his sights onto Ominis and started ruining his slightly tousled hair to now make a mess of the dark blonde mop.
"Hey!" Ominis hissed.
"Shut it. You're fucked if anyone recognizes you." Nox hissed back, then pressed his hand to Ominis face, Ominis flinched. I'm assuming feeling the magic of the mask against his face. His mask was more of the shape of a Snake Skull then human.
"Don't take it off, the mask will stay in place until you remove it." Nox murmured to Ominis, "Then it will just dissipate."
My eyes looked over the camp, there weren't many outside but there were well over fifty tents that trailed all the way back into the trickling of trees. There wasn't telling how many people were actually here.
"Ominis and I will hide under my cloak and search the camp." I murmured to them, "Poppy and Nox stay on standby, if you see my signal Poppy you both need to create a distraction then get out of here." Poppy gave me a nod, looking at Nox with a wide toothy smile. I started to lift the hood up,
"Come on Ominis, stay close to me." I opened the cloak up, Ominis huddled close to me staying crouched down so he'd be at my height. I covered the both of us with the invisibility cloak, walking along slowly over the grass with him. Ominis kept an arm secured around my waist so he wouldn't accidentally lag behind.
"Silence from this point on until we get to the cages." I murmured to him, he only nodded, eyes closing trusting me to lead him. We arrived at the edge of the camp, his eyes opening again once he heard people talking nearby as they sat around a fire. My eyes looked at the empty bottles laying over the dirt.
'You really think that kid was actually sabotaged?'
'Listen, all I know is that the other kid came running out and casted a spell on him and suddenly he could fight against it. I mean Sonorus isn't exactly a fighting spell, it only allows your voice to become louder.'
'Put it like that and it does sound like he was silenced.'
We hurried past the fire, I kept my eyes open. Stopping Ominis when someone passed us or to adjust our direction around a tent. We drew in close to the wooded area, but upon getting closer to the trees we could see people standing guard, patrolling around the perimeter.
I stopped Ominis again pulling him down so we crouched low to the ground. I pulled a whistle from my pocket, holding it to my lips. I waited then blew it, all that came out was the incessant hooting of an owl. The guards hadn't even given the noise a single thought, I could only hope Poppy could hear it from here. We waited quietly for a time until the guards were rushing off. Glancing over my shoulder I saw fire consuming some of the tents.
That had to have been Nox, Poppy wouldn't risk Ministry workers dying. I led Ominis into the tree line, the remaining guards having left to help put the fire out. Once the coast was clear I pulled the cloak off of us, rushing him to the large cages containing the beasts. The Chimera was manacled, a metal muzzle keeping its mouth closed shut and the Basilisk had leather eye covers secured around its head, a metal strap securing its mouth shut.
"Talk with the Basilisk. I'm going to get the Manticore. Ominis pulled his wand out walking to the cage, softest of hissing coming from him. The basilisk stirred but was unable to respond back. I unlocked the cage and watched the beast fight against its restraints, dragon tail flipping around knocking at the bars of the cage.
"Shhh, it's okay…" I pulled out a sack of meat walking slowly over to it. "I'm here to help. I laid out the raw meat onto the floor of the cage, the Manticores ears laid back against its head as I approached slowly, "Shhh." Being sure to not keep eye contact with it, my head bowed low. I pulled my wand out,
"Alohomora." The metal muzzle slipped from its face, its mouth opening, a cloud of smoke billowing from its maw. It slowly approached then passed me starting to devour the meat laying on the ground. I took my chance, quickly unlocking the manacles attached to its goat-like legs. I let it eat and used the chance to quickly open the Nab Sack, sucking it right into the bag.
"One down." I heard a clatter, looking to see Ominis had gotten the lock undone, starting to open the cage to let the beast out.
"It won't fight us, quickly though." I looked up to the imposing serpent, feeling back that we'd have to keep its covers on for now.
I opened the sack seeing the Basilisk eagerly let the rush of magic take it in, quickly shutting the bag.
"We're going to have to trust that Poppy and Nox got away." I murmured to him, pulling him back to me, I covered us with the cloak and led us back through towards the camp, avoiding the rush of people exiting tents trying to put out the quickly growing out of control fire. Ominis kept a firm arm around my waist as I did my best to avoid the rush of people.
"What did they do?" Ominis murmured.
"Nox set a few of the tents on fire." I hissed out, rushing us both down the cliff path.
"It doesn't really matter how, considering they'll notice the beasts gone." Ominis murmured, I slowed us down now approaching the outer Floo Flame, noticing the gate was closed shut. Curfew had started,
"Ominis I'm going to take the beasts to the Room of Requirement." I murmured to him.
"I'll meet you there." his hand lingered at my waist, fingers brushing along my hip.
POV OMINIS GAUNT
I could hear the sounds of Ada using the Floo and I wasn't far behind. Though once I entered I could hear the loud scraping and creaking of the room.
"Ada?" I questioned, then felt her hand in mine.
"It's expanding, come on." She led me down a flight of stairs, footsteps echoing over the rough stone flooring into a room I hadn't been to, then I could feel the cool breeze and a smell of a salty ocean air.
"It's perfect." Ada murmured, "I'm going to set up their feeders, hopefully food will keep them docile.
"What does it look like?" I questioned.
"Ruins of Greece, Grass and stone… Mountains with caves." She murmured, I took in the smell again.
"I think I'd like to visit Greece." I told her, enjoying the warmth of the sun, finally taking that stupid mask off.
"I'd like to visit, I've read about it in books and it sounds lovely." I heard her set something heavy down nearby. Then the sound of food filling something and the splatting of meat in another, "Okay I'm going to let the Chimera out."
I stepped up beside her, hearing the rush of wind leaving her Knab Sack as the sound of hooves hit the stone floor beneath us. The beast growled at us, but Ada being Ada wasn't perturbed, she hushed it softly.
"It's okay. Go on, no one will hurt you anymore." The softness and care in her voice made my heart flutter, she cared so deeply even for the most fierce of beasts. I could hear the beast back away from us then rush off the clattering of hooves growing faint.
"It's gone to a cave… Now for the big one…" I heard her inhale preparing to let the basilisk out.
Its weight shook the surrounding ground as it was spat out onto the stone and grass. It barely moved, the scales sliding along the stone, waiting for me.
"You are not truly free… but you will be well taken care of here… I can not remove your blinds, for the one caring for you is beloved by me. Remember her scent, she's about to remove the band on your mouth." I hissed out to the Basilisk, only hearing Ada gasp softly.
"You are amazing." She murmured, "Your scales are so slick." I could hear the King of Serpents rumble softly.
"Alohomora." The band on its mouth clattered open. Finally I could hear the Basilisk stretch its mouth open with a soft hiss.
"Thank you."
"You poor thing…" Ada murmured, "I can't believe they treated you so poorly." The Basilisk rumbled again, I could hear it move along the stone, then the sounds of its mouth snapping and swallowing something.
"Ada?" I asked, rather nervous that the beast hadn't listened to me.
"It's just eating. Don't worry."
"We should give the beasts some space." I called to her, reaching my hand out.
"You're right, let's go." She took my hand, leading me out. The bare skin of her hand sent shocks along my spine and once we left the Vivarium I stopped us.
"Ominis?" She questioned, the softness of her voice held a bit of concern towards me."
"I don't want to separate just yet…" I urged her closer, "Can we stay the night together?"
She was silent for so long. I had worried that I said something to offend her but the worry dissipated when I felt her hand squeezing mine.
"The Cottage?" She questioned, the nerves working into her voice.
"Yes." I leaned my face down closer to hers, one hand keeping hold of hers while the other rested and slid slowly over the curve of her hip. She moved against me, lips pressing to mine. I let a shaky breath leave my lips, hand pulling her hips flush against mine. I felt her hand touch my jaw and cheek. Cupping my face as she deepened the kiss, the taste of her tongue against mine urged me on to devour her mouth. My nose pressed against the softness of her cheek, hands feeling over every clothed inch of her.
Then she was gone, stepping away from me, the softness of her breathing was driving me insane.
"Cottage." She reminded me, taking my hand to hurry us up the stairs. I couldn't help the grin spreading across my face, seeing how eager she was for us to be alone. Though I was equally as eager to finally explore her body, if she'd let me go that far.
The moment we entered into that Cottage, my hands tried snatching her to me but she evaded my grasp. The soft giggling as I heard her go deeper into the cottage to her bedroom made me press on. Her pumps clattering on the wooden floor. My hand slid along the wall, stalking my way through the narrow hall to stop in the doorway to her bedroom.
"Love… Are you hiding from me?" Still my smile stayed on my lips, trying to hear some semblance of her presence. Something about what we did tonight sparked that desire for her, urged my body to find her and claim every last inch of her for myself.
"Of course not." She murmured, I could hear the creak of her bed frame, my hand reached and gripped the footboard of her bed then slowly felt along the mattress until I could feel her foot and ankle.
"There you are." I murmured, slowly lifting a leg to rest on the softness of the mattress, hand running over the smoothness of her leg, up past her skirt. Her hands went to my shirt and pulled me down, I let her lips lock with mine again, my hand supporting me over her. Her hands wandered down. Feeling the tug of my shirt and the cool air hitting my chest. Her hands flattened against my chest feeling over my pectorals then moved to touch my neck. I couldn't help the tremble that rolled through my body and the softest of moans leaving my lips.
My lips traveled down, kissing and nipping at the flesh of her neck as her hands ran through my hair combing it from my face.
"You're trembling." She breathed out.
"Every touch you grace me with feels like a spark over my skin." I could feel her own tremble as my hot breath spilled over the softness of her neck. My nose pressed to the skin taking in the scent of Vanilla and Tea Leaves. "I'm not used to such softness." My hands moved, flat as they slid over her legs, feeling the crook of her knee then the softness of her thigh.
I kissed lower, but had to stop at the collar of her blouse, "Ada? Can I?" My hands left her trembling thighs to slide over the soft cloth of her clothes, barely brushing over the mound of her breasts.
"Please…" She murmured, her chest pressed to my hands as her back arched. That was all I needed to work the front of her blouse open, but a groan left me as I felt over the rougher feeling of her underclothes.
"Dammit." I rasped out, fingers trying to figure out how to undo the strings at the front of the cursed bit of cloth. I felt her chest rumble out with a chuckle at my frustration, "Don't laugh Love." I nipped at her neck, causing her to suck in a breath.
"That's better." I managed to loosen the thing covering her breasts, opening the front my hands eagerly cupped and squeezed the large mounds. Feeling the hardness of nipples against my palms and the taste of a pulse against my tongue as I abused a spot on her neck. I couldn't get enough of how soft the skin of her breasts were, how they filled my hands and how her back arched when I squeezed them.
I let my thoughts grow blank, awareness of where I was touching was long gone, I wanted to drown in the smell of her skin, the softness of her body and the sounds she made when my teeth nipped at her delicate flesh.
Allow my hands to discover previously hidden roughness of scars, my mouth kissing and sucking lower on her body. Every soft whimper and gasp drives me to take it further, to claim Ada as mine, to leave a lasting imprint of myself in her life. I would always be with her.
POV ADA MARROW
I watched Ominis mouth move down over my breast, taking a nipple into his mouth, his hot tongue lathing over the hardened nub, my fingers gripping at his hair a bit tighter.
My heart felt as if it would break free from my chest, he was worshiping over my skin not even bothering to try and remove the rest of my clothes as his hands worked my skirt up, bunching the cloth at my waist when I noticed movement at the door way.
My eyes widened seeing Sebastian, stock still staring at us, at me specifically. Something flipped into my head, hands working to try and cover myself up, scooting away from a very confused Ominis.
"GET OUT!"
"Sweetheart please I've felt those up enough times-" I threw a book on my nightstand at him. Ominis head swiveled back towards where he heard Sebastian.
"Out! Sebastian, get out!" I was almost screaming at him. Sebastian cursed, dodging the book and hurrying out of the room.
Then Ominis head turned back towards me, "He's felt you up?" He asked, his brow raised, my mouth gaped.
"I-I'm not answering that! You too, get out!" I was almost shoving him out of the bed as he stumbled up to his feet.
"A-Ada!"
"Out!" I was thoroughly embarrassed, having been caught with my skirts hiked up and my breasts out. Ominis seemed to whine but left me to regain my composure, I could hear murmurs from the two boys then heated arguing as I started to restring my chest strap.
My body still felt like it was inflamed, I could feel the remnants of every touch Ominis had left over my body, every kiss and his tongue.
I shuddered, he had such a heated expression. I'm sure if Sebastian hadn't shown up I would have let him ruin me. I straightened out my skirt and buttoned up my blouse walking out to see the boys still arguing but when Sebastian's eyes slid over onto me he quieted himself. Sebastian held that familiar heat in his gaze as well and I could see jealousy eat away at his composure.
I looked away from him, eyes staying down as I crossed my arms over my chest.
"Sebastian, what are you even doing here?" I questioned, how did he know we were here?
"Nox told me what you four did and don't worry he made sure Poppy got back to her dorms safely, it's a damn good thing that I did come here. Really Ominis I expected better of you." Sebastian's voice held a scalding tone towards him.
Ominis scowled, "The hell does that mean?!"
"It means you almost ruined her Ominis, for fucks sake! You can't just claim a girls virtue-"
"Well Sebastian I don't plan on leaving her!" Ominis bit out, "I don't see the point in waiting for something as superficial as marriage if I'll always be by her side!"
"Who says you'll always be with her!" Sebastian bit back.
"Because unlike you Sebastian I have my priorities straight!"
They were talking about me like I wasn't standing right there with them, in fact their incessant bickering was wearing me down.
My hand ran over my face and slowly started to walk past them, to leave the cottage.
Someone grabbed my arm, "Where are you going?" Sebastian asked, I jerked from his grip. He flinched probably realizing I wasn't very happy with him.
"To my Commons, you two can bicker on your own." My voice sounded annoyed, tired and shaky, "And stop grabbing at me!" I snapped out for good measure. Leaving the two of them in favor of returning to my Common Room via the Floo.
POV SEBASTIAN SALLOW
Ada had left us standing in the dimness of her cottage, the door slamming shut behind her. Fuck, I did it again. I grabbed her again. I got jealous again! I ran my hands through my hair and let out a frustrated groan.
"Hope you're proud of yourself." Ominis sneered at me, starting for the door himself.
"We're not done here." I hissed out.
"We are because I have no further interest in arguing with you." He tried walking past me but I stopped him. Hand pressed to his chest,
"We are not done here!" I repeated, staring at him, "You do not just get to claim her like that."
"Like what Sebastian? She is not yours to claim. She is mine, she is MY belle! She was willing to have me and for me to have her fully!" His tone held venom, teeth bared as he glared in my direction, "May I remind you that you are supposed to be her friend. I put up with your incessant flirting with her. I put up with your overall disrespect of our relationship because you are my Best Friend, you are my brother. Not by blood but by bond."
I felt that pain, I wanted her but I didn't want to ruin what I had with Ominis, "I'm in love with her." I murmured, Ominis face softened at my words, his mouth then pressing to a thin line. Face downcast, eyes closing.
"As do I, you have to accept that she chose me."
"I don't think I can ever accept that. Ominis, I don't think I can ever be without her."
"And that is not my cross to bear." Ominis murmured to me, finally walking past me leaving the cottage.
