Chapter 4

Disillusionment Charm at the ready, I snuck into the boys' dormitories.

The halls were mostly deserted. It was Christmas Time, and most students had gone home to their families.
Most, but not all of them; those whose families were at Hogwarts stayed, just like Ominis, Sebastian and me.
I was looking forward to spending Christmas with them, even though both of them had been acting peculiar the past week, no, since the beginning of the school year, actually.
It was our last year, so I attributed it to some lingering melancholy.

To say they were avoiding me wasn't true, but I had the feeling they were keeping something from me, and that hurt. The three of us usually told each other everything.
Well, almost... so far, I hadn't told them about my feelings for them. How could I? How would that even sound, 'Hey, I think I've fallen in love with the both of you.' That just sounded somehow greedy as well as selfish, but alas, it was the truth.
At first, I had thought it was just a phase, a schoolgirl crush, but as time passed, I became sure of it. I was in love with those two boys.

Ominis was hard not to love. His devotion to his friends, courage to stand up for what he believed in, and constant strive to be good despite his family's legacy.
Also, his hearty laughter whenever Sebastian told one of his far-from-appropriate jokes made my heart skip a beat every time.
I also adored his biting sarcasm when faced with "the stupidity of others", as he liked to call it. Especially when faced with the stupidity of one Sebastian Sallow.

Sebastian, of course, wasn't stupid, far from it, actually. He was the most talented wizard in our school year, giving any Ravenclaw a run for their money when it came to perfecting spellcasting.
He was dedicated, curious and open-minded; his strengths somehow contributed to his most significant flaw, his still undying curiosity about the Dark Arts.
Still, it was hard not to fall for his charms, despite knowing precisely what he had done in our fifth year. But Sebastian had indeed changed since then.
It had taken him quite some time to heal, but he was on the right path, and with Ominis as a voice of reason at his side, I knew he wouldn't stray from it.

And if he did, I was always there to jinx his sorry arse into oblivion.

I reached their dormitory and slipped inside quietly.
They appeared to be sitting on Sebastian's bed. I could hear their voices speaking softly and was about to scare them like they had done so many times before with me. When I couldn't help but stop at the mention of my own name. Were they talking about me?

"We need to tell her; this is killing me," Ominis groaned.

"It has been killing me since the end of our fifth year," Sebastian replied, and the genuine sound of his voice startled me.

"It's a wonder she hasn't noticed it yet. I don't think we are quite as subtle as we'd like to be," Ominis mused.

"Maybe she doesn't want to notice it? Remember the time Poppy and Natty went out? Ryna was ranting for hours about how that could ruin their friendship. 'Friends don't court friends' were her exact words, I think."

"How could I forget? My ears were ringing! I was up and about to tell her right that very second."

"Yea... had I not silenced you," Sebastian chuckled.

I heard a smack, most likely Ominis' hand on the back of Sebastian's head.

"The one and only time I'll forgive you for jinxing me, Sallow," Ominis snarled.

"Still, I think we should tell her; we need to tell her. I'll go crazy otherwise. Every time she touches me is pure torture. I just want to―"

"I know, I know! But for Merlin's sake, what should we tell her? How should we tell her? 'Hey Ryna, maybe you've noticed us acting strange lately. That's because we've been knocking boots behind your back since the beginning of this school year. All while pining over you? Want to join in?' She'll blast our sorry asses into two sweet piles of ashes," Sebastian grunted, and I could hear him getting up from the bed.

I was in shock. I couldn't move, I couldn't breathe... I had literally forgotten to breathe. I needed to get out of here. I should not have eavesdropped.

'Merlin's flaming arse, I need to―'

I didn't come any further. As I backed away, about to leave the room, my coat got caught on a wardrobe's knob. Still in shock, I tugged at it, opening said wardrobe with a loud thud while its innards sprawled onto the floor.
"Who..." I heard Ominis' voice.

I just needed to get out of there quickly; they hadn't seen me yet. If I just managed to get to the door…

"Not so fast there. Revelio!" Sebastian chanted.

Screw Sallow and his quick thinking.

"Ryna?" he blurted out incredulously. He was standing there, wearing nothing but his small clothes.
Yes, it had been a pretty bad idea to try to scare them in their dormitory, I'll admit it.

Ground, please swallow me up whole!

"Ryna?" Ominis appeared next to Sebastian, sporting the same… lack of clothes.

I grimaced at them. "I― I was never here. I'll be going now," I stammered, going for the door.

Damn, how I wished I could just obliviate them.

"Wait, did you―?" Sebastian began, furrowing his brows at me.

"No, no, I heard nothing, saw nothing. See you at dinner!" I blurted out.

"She knows," I heard Ominis whisper.

I saw Sebastian's mischievous smirk too late. With a flick of his hand, the door shut close behind me.

"Guess we should talk?" I sighed, biting my lower lip.

"I'll fix us something to drink," Sebastian said, ducking under his bed and producing a flask of Firewhisky. "That was supposed to be your Christmas gift, Om…" he began, looking at Ominis.

"I don't mind sharing," Ominis declared, and I could have sworn there was a sly smile on his lips.

"Of course, you don't…." Sebastian murmured.

Meanwhile, I was still standing at the doorway, unmoving.

"Ryna, please come here and sit down," Ominis implored softly.

How could I ever say no to that?

There I was, sitting on the edge of Sebastian's bed with Ominis right next to me and Sebastian kneeling on the soft rug in front of us.
"You look a little tense," Sebastian asserted, putting a glass of Firewhisky into my hands, making me flinch at his touch.
He furrowed his brows at me, "It's still us, Ryna."

I let out a ragged breath and nodded, sipping on my drink. The liquid burned its way down to my stomach, taking some of my worries with it.
There was silence between us for several moments, and it was getting uncomfortable.

"So… the two of you…" I began, trying to find the right words, in vain.

"Yes, it was some time in the making, so to speak." Ominis explained, "But we didn't plan on it, not like this, at least." He added apologetically.

"It's alright. I'm happy for you, honestly."

I wasn't lying. I was happy for them. Considering that they almost stopped being friends two years ago, they had come a long way. If this was what made them happy, I'd gladly put my feelings for either of them aside.

"But that's not everything, and you know that," Sebastian said, looking up at me. "You heard what I said earlier, didn't you?"

My insides froze, but I nodded silently. Remembering Ominis was sitting beside me, and I managed to press a quiet "Yes," over my lips.

"So, want to j―" Sebastian began, only to have Ominis' foot meet his gut.

"Merlin's beard… I'll do the talking, and you shut up, Sallow," Ominis snarled.

I felt his arm wrap around my shoulder.
His still naked arm, my brain reminded me, making shivers run down my back.

"How do you feel about this, love?" Ominis inquired.

"I―"

'I have been in love with you since you caught me right outside the Undercroft in our fifth year… Just a week after I fell in love with Sebastian while we fought off Ranrok's men.' I thought while studying my hands.

"I―" I stammered once more, feeling tears well up in my eyes.
"I have been in love with both of you since our fifth year," I brought over my lips.

I didn't dare look up from my drink; I didn't dare look at their reaction. My cheeks were starting to get wet.

"Ryna, darling, how is that any reason to cry?" I heard Sebastian's voice sounding in front of me. I felt his hands slowly stroking my knees; softly, calmingly.

Ominis' fingers found my face, wiping off the tears that had run down my cheeks.

"Please don't cry or I'll start too," Ominis whispered, planting a soft kiss on the top of my head.

I was in shock. Did I really just blurt out I loved them?
I looked at the drink in my hand and then at Sebastian. 'Oh no...'

"You did not―" I breathed.

Sebastian shrugged his shoulders.
"I thought some drops of Veritaserum would make this easier."

I should have been angry at him, but I felt some sense of relief inside me. Finally, everything was out in the open. The tears on my face were those of relief, not sadness or anger.

"You're unbelievable, Sallow!" Ominis scolded, adding, "Now hand me that drink."

"W-what...?" I stammered.

He took the spiked drink out of my clammy hands, taking a sip.

"I'm only trying to make this fair. Ask me anything, Ryna."

I looked at him blankly, "I don't..."

"For crying out loud, tell her when you fell in love with her, Om." Sebastian butted in, clearly out of patience, as always.

"When you wiped the floor with this one in Hecat's class; he needed someone to take his ego down a peg," Ominis replied, smirking, nodding at Sebastian.

Sebastian huffed, "Well, now I don't think Veritaserum was the right choice."

I turned to Ominis, "Why didn't you say anything?"

"We barely knew each other, and you were preoccupied with so many― extracurricular activities. Also, I somehow thought you were more interested in Sebastian. I didn't want to get in between the two of you."

My heart ached, making me plant a kiss on his cheek.
"Ominis, you've always been the kindest of the three of us. That's one of the reasons I fell for you."

"What are the others?" Sebastian asked.

"His loyalty, courage, and constant strive to be good... unlike you, Seb." I imparted with a glare.

"You make him almost sound like a Gryffindor", Sebastian grimaced.

"Merlin's beard, no! He's far too ambitious for that." I exclaimed.

"That's sweet of you to say," Ominis said, kissing my hair softly.

"Now we know why you like me, but that doesn't explain your feelings for Sallow, on the contrary, actually." Ominis asserted, handing Sebastian the spiked drink. "Drink up, Sallow."

"What? No, I'll tell the truth either..." he began, stopping when he noticed the looks on our faces. "Fine, damn it!"

He pulled the drink out of Ominis' hands, downing it in one go.

"Now tell her what you've told me. Tell her why you fell for her." Ominis said, the stern tone in his voice sending shivers down my spine.

"I began falling for you when you banished me from that Duelling Table, and it got worse whenever we fought alongside each other. You stood by my side despite me being a lying jerk, despite me taking things too far, despite me being me." Sebastian's voice trailed off at the end.

This was harder for him than I had expected. He always gave off a strong but somewhat standoffish vibe, almost like nothing could get to him, which was a blatant lie. A lie he especially liked to tell himself.
I looked at him while he avoided my glance in silence.

"Now, why do you like him?" Ominis' voice quietly broke the silence.

"I don't like him; I'm in love with him. I love his insatiable hunger for knowledge, his determination, and his resourcefulness when faced with unfavourable odds. And I love the sly smirk on his lips whenever he's outwitted someone. But the thing I love most about him is how he turned over a new leaf after everything that has happened. And I love you for making that happen, Ominis."

Ominis smiled warmly at me, scooting closer. "I really just want to kiss you right now, Ryna."

I turned towards him, taking his face into my hands. My eyes found Sebastian's once more; he nodded encouragingly.

I don't know if it was the Veritaserum, the Firewisky, or a combination of both, but I couldn't hold back any longer.
The feelings I had pent up inside me for far too long all went into that one kiss.

Ominis' lips were soft, his kisses tender, loving just like himself. I lost myself in the moment and him.
When we parted, he whispered, "Let's not make him feel left out, shall we?"

"Don't worry about me. I'll take what I need; you should know that, Om." Sebastian purred, grabbing me by the waist and pulling me off the bed and onto his lap. I let out a gasp of surprise as I found myself straddled on top of him.

His face was inches from mine as he whispered, "Ominis doesn't mind sharing, and neither do I. What about you?"

I shook my head. "Three heads are better than two; I remember someone here saying." I smiled as he pressed his lips onto mine.

Unlike Ominis, he was neither tender nor sweet. His kisses were hungry and needy. Our tongues were fighting for dominance, and he clearly had the upper hand.
It wasn't a fight I could or even wanted to win. Thus I relented, body and soul, to him and this kiss.
As I came up for air, I looked into his darkened eyes.
With a flick of his wrist, he levitated me back to the bed and into Ominis' lap, who started kissing his way down my throat.

"We should establish some ground rules, I think," he murmured into my ear, making my skin tingle with anticipation.

"I don't think Seb likes rules..." I whispered, letting out a small yelp as I felt Sebastian pinch my thighs.

"Some rules even I can get behind, pet."

"First, we love to share but only amongst the three of us, clear?" Ominis asked, his fingers starting to work on the buttons of my shirt.

"Y-yes" I stammered.

"Second, it's fine to have some one-on-one time whenever the― need arises. But we need to be honest with one another about our needs, desires, and feelings. Especially you, Sebastian," he continued, and I was surprised to see him grab Sebastian by the back of his neck harsher than expected.

"Anything for this to work," Seb replied, taking Ominis' hand and planting a kiss within his palm.

"And third, Sallow and I are dominant enough for the three of us, wouldn't you agree, love?" Ominis imparted, his question being more of a statement.

My whole body was shivering in agreement, "Yes."

Merlin, preserve me. What was I getting myself into?

"Good witch." Ominis purred into my ear, relieving me of my blouse and revealing the corselet I was wearing underneath. I blushed instantly.

"W-what if somebody sees us?" I muttered under my breath, my eyes darting to the door.

"I got it under control, don't worry," Sebastian whispered, tracing his fingers along my waist.
"Also, I'd worry more about someone hearing us if I were you," he growled, unzipping my skirt.

A wave of panic washed over me. I wasn't prepared for this to happen. Those had been my first kisses. What if I screwed up? What if they laughed at my inexperience?

"Seb, she's tensing up again," Ominis scolded him. "What's wrong, love?" he asked, directing his question at me.

"I―"

"Need some more Veritaserum?" Sebastian queried, with a spark of mischief in his eyes.

"No, I haven't, I don't..."
My checks were burning up.

"She's still untouched, our little virgin sacrifice," Sebastian exclaimed, his face lighting up.

"I didn't expect anything less," Ominis replied, stroking a loose strand of hair out of the way to start sucking on my neck. A quiet moan escaped my lips, but my body was still tense.

"Do you want this?" Ominis purred into my ear.

I nodded. "Yes, I do, but I'm afraid I'll screw up," I said.

"You won't," he stated, and his tone made my worries evaporate into oblivion.

"We'll start slow... at first," Sebastian whispered, yanking down my skirt, thus contradicting himself.
However, I didn't mind the roughness of his touch; I didn't mind it at all.

Ominis' hands were skilfully working on the fastenings of my corselet, opening it slowly and gently while Sebastian tore down my tights.
The duality of their temper and characters made me feel hot and cold at the same time.

'They'll be the death of me.'

Ominis pulled me closer to him, my bared back now resting against his naked chest, while I was facing Sebastian, who stood between our legs.
If I had been able to blush further, I would have.

"Describe her to me," Ominis asked of him while breathing into the think of my hair, inhaling my scent.

A smirk curled at the corner of Sebastian's lips.
"She looks like a mermaid's song come to life, hauntingly beautiful. Eyes to get lost in, lips begging to get kissed, hair waiting to be caressed... and pulled."

"Are you sure she might enjoy something like this?" Ominis asked, grabbing my hair, slightly pulling at it, making a gasp of pleasure escape my lips.

"Even more than I thought," Sebastian growled.

"Mmmhh, what about this, then?"
Ominis' mouth was at my ear, kissing, sucking, gently nibbling at my earlobe until biting into it a little harsher.
I moaned out loud; Veritaserum be damned!

"If you liked that, I think you might enjoy this..." Sebastian whispered, slowly breathing kisses on my blushing breasts. His tongue flicked over my now-hardened peaks, making me wish we had used a silencing spell on that door.
Ominis' hand turned my head towards him, his lips finding mine instantly, his kisses now being far from gentle. The want and need in them made me relent ultimately.

Meanwhile, Sebastian's fingers were at the seam of my underwear.
"I don't think you'll be needing those tonight, or anytime around us, for that matter," he asserted, tearing them off and making them join the rest of my clothing scattered on the ground.

Ominis' hands started travelling down my body, his fingers seemingly trying to map every inch of it. While his left hand remained on my bosom, playfully pinching my blushing peaks, his right hand voyaged further, softly trailing the area around the wetlands.
I gasped, far too loud apparently, because his left hand was pressing itself on my mouth instantly.
"Sallow, I think our little pet is going to be too loud for the castle's far from soundproof walls," he murmured, his searching fingers making me squirm.

Sebastian nodded, reaching for his wand.
"Muffliato. Now let's see how loud she can get." Sebastian growled, kneeling between my spread legs while Ominis' fingers slowly found their way to the little knot of nerves hidden within my wetness.
The jolts his touch sent through my body felt like they were frying my brain.
I threw my head back onto his shoulder, moaning in pleasure.

When I didn't think it could get any worse or better, Sebastian's tongue joined Ominis' fingers on their journey.
I could feel beads of sweat running down my body as the two of them continued to work their magic on me. My senses were solely trained on them.
Their touch, the taste of their lips, their distinct smell...

Ominis' hardness was pressing against the small of my back through the thin fabric of his underwear, and Sebastian's manhood was visibly tenting his small clothes.
I was close, so very close, when they stopped, leaving me with an unbearable tingling sensation; and an irresistible hunger for more.

"W-wh―"

"Wouldn't want to sate your appetite before the main course, pet." Sebastian purred, standing up, while Ominis let go of me, only to pull down his underwear and lie on the bed. As my eyes got stuck on Ominis' hardened manhood, I couldn't help but bite my lip.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Sebastian whispered into my ear, grabbing me by the hair. I nodded, swallowing hard.
"I can teach you what he enjoys most. Do you want that?" he asked, biting my lower lip.
I nodded again. He had the experience, after all.

As harshly as he had grabbed my hair, as gently did he take Ominis' member into his hand, giving it a loving stroke.
"Open up," Sebastian commanded, and I willingly opened my mouth, letting him guide Ominis' length inside it.

"Now, lick the knob softly. Let your tongue wander over the whole length. Slowly, you're not trying to win a contest, pet." Sebastian scolded, lightly slapping my butt cheeks.

I was doing as I was told, and the moans and hisses of pleasure rolling over Ominis' lips were telling me that, as always, Sebastian was a good teacher and I a diligent student.

"Come here, Sallow." Ominis breathed, grabbing Sebastian by the arm and pulling him into a deep kiss while I continued pleasuring him, as instructed.

"Stop now, Love," Ominis called out, clearly about to reach his climax. "As Sallow said, we don't like to fill up before the main course."

"You always showed the biggest restraint, Om," Sebastian said with a wink. Ominis sighed, his hands searching for the edges of Sebastian's underwear.

"I want you to try to hold back this time. Would be a shame to ruin your appetite, Sallow," he whispered, pulling down the cloth.

"Now, Love, same procedure… come here." Ominis purred, indicating me to Sebastian's hardened member.

"As you might have thought, Sallow likes a little… rougher treatment."

"Needs it, actually." Sebastian interrupted him, getting up from the bed.

"Quiet now. Love, this might be uncomfortable at first, but you'll get used to it quickly." Ominis reassured me.

He laid me down on the bed, letting my head dangle over the edge of it while I furrowed my brows in confusion.
"This position will make it easier for the first time," he explained, probably sensing my worries. "Now open up and breathe through your nose," He ordered as Sebastian's hardness slowly slid inside my mouth. When I expected him to pull it out again, he thrust in a little further, making me gag involuntarily. "Now, try breathing with the rhythm he sets," Ominis whispered into my ear, kissing my neck softly, thus easing the discomfort tremendously.

With each thrust, Sebastian appeared to become more daring, burying his member deeper and deeper into my throat, the sounds of my grunting and gagging seemingly only spurring him on even further.
His moans got louder, his breath got hitched, and I could taste the hint of something slightly salty within my mouth, before he tore himself from me, breathing heavily.

He went down to his knees, devouring my lips while I was still gasping for air. "Next time, I won't hold back, pet," he growled.

"I hope so." I purred, my voice husky.

"Careful what you wish for, pet," Sebastian whispered, gently squeezing my throat.

I could feel Ominis fingers delving into the depths of my wetness again, making me scream his name in pleasure.

"I think it's time for the main course. She's more than ready," Ominis stated, licking my wetness off his fingers.

"Tonight, you'll be losing only one more innocence, Love." He went on.

"Once we've had our fill, however…." Sebastian bit his lip, slapping my butt, this time being far from gentle and making me yelp in pain.

Ominis tsked in disapproval, "No need to scare her yet, Sallow. I'll curb his temper, don't worry, Love." He said softly.
"Now, this is your first time. You should be the one to choose, who should be your first," Ominis continued.

I froze as my body started shivering once more. How in Merlin's name could I choose one of them? Impossible!
My eyes switched between the two of them. Sebastian was looking at me expectantly, while Ominis seemed to listen intently for what I had to say.
"I― don't want to choose," I managed finally.

Sebastian let out a sigh, "She's perfect, Ominis."

Ominis chuckled silently. "That she is."

"I have an idea…." Sebastian said, lowering his voice so that only Ominis could hear him.

"Sometimes, I love your ideas. Let's do it," Ominis replied.

"What are you―" I began when I saw Sebastian reach for his emerald green school tie.

"Close your eyes. Relax." Ominis whispered, making me sit up so that Sebastian could blindfold me.

Pitch-black darkness surrounded me. I thought I heard them whispering, but I couldn't make out a word they said.
What on earth were they doing?

"If you're in pain, don't hesitate to say something. If it becomes too much, we'll stop." Ominis whispered into my ear. "From now on, there won't be much talking, but we're both here," he added.
The tone in his voice was so gentle, so reassuring, yet determined. It made shivers run down my spine but made me feel safe at the same time. Ominis was like a plunge into the abyss, but at the same time, he was the safety net waiting to catch you before you met the ground.

I nodded.

I felt hands pushing me down to the mattress, but I couldn't tell whose they were. Another pair of hands was spreading my legs, running their fingers up until reaching the wetness between them.
I moaned as I felt soft kisses trailing down my throat, my collarbones and my bosom.
The fingers that had explored my legs were now gently finding their way inside me, making hot bolts of pleasure run down my spine and arch my back in pleasure.
I felt something hot and hardened slowly stroking the insides of my thighs but was unable to tell whose it was.

My heart pounded against my chest as the hardened hotness pushed inside me, slowly at first, making its way through the folds of my wetness. A quick shot of pain woke me from the daze of pleasure I was wading through, almost causing me to jolt up from the bed, had another pair of strong hands not pushed me back onto the mattress.
The thrusting stopped for a moment while my insides and I adjusted to the new sensation. I let out a shaky breath, nodding.

When he began thrusting again, I felt the tingling starting to spread from my thighs and up my back. After a few thrusts, he picked up the pace, making me arch my back once more for that sweet friction I so desperately needed.
I heard a muffled and suppressed moan, trying to prick up my ears to learn whose it was before I felt the warmth spreading inside of me. "Oh―!" I exclaimed, enjoying the feeling it left within me.
When I was about to reach for the blindfold, two hands stopped me, grabbing me by the wrists and pressing my hands back into the mattress. I understood, smiling invitingly.
Of course, that wasn't it.

My insides didn't need to adjust to the emptiness within them for too long, for the second hardened length filled it out willingly.
The thrusts were harder this time, full of want and need. His hands pressed my wrists into the mattress forcefully, and I enjoyed every bit of it. The moans escaped my lips in cascades as I felt him rubbing against the little knot of nerves, which made every fibre of my body tingle in anticipation.
And here I had thought Sebastian was only after his own pleasure…

Sweet Merlin, had I been wrong!

He was rougher than Ominis, true, but he took his time. The thrusts that brought him the pleasure he needed gave me the friction I craved.
As I felt myself coming close to my peak, I wriggled my hands free of his grasp, pulling his head down to me and pressing his lips on mine.

"Spend yourself inside me, too, Sebastian." I breathed on his lips, feeling them curl into a responsive smirk.

"Bright witch," he whispered as his final thrust brought him over the edge.
