Hazel Warren left Hogwarts with a broken heart three years ago. The night before graduation, she gave Sebastian Sallow a choice: the darkness or me. He didn't answer, and she didn't look back. Three years later, she's returned. She's older, quieter, but no longer alone. Invited to interview for the interim Charms position, Hazel expects awkward glances and old ghosts. But not him. Not Sebastian, who is now the Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor, standing in the very school where everything ended. She thought she could keep her secret buried. Until a voice rings out. And Sebastian turns, and everything unravels. She has his curls. She has his eyes. And she's almost three years old.

Rachel Bennett, a proud member of Slytherin House, has saved Hogwarts and the Wizarding World from the goblin rebellion. She absorbed the repository but lost her mentor in the process. Orphaned at a young age and new to the Wizarding World, Rachel tries to uncover the source of her mysterious ancient magic powers that are evolving possibly into something dark, dangerous and evil. All while battling her romantic feelings for her best friend, Sebastian Sallow, who seems to have gone missing. Can Rachel find her way in this new world and, most importantly, find herself? This story is a fanfiction continuing the story from the end plot of the Hogwarts Legacy game with the main female character named Rachel Bennett.

Enjoy! SPOILER WARNING: THERE WILL BE SPOILERS FOR THE HOGWARTS LEGACY GAME THROUGHOUT ALL MATURE WARNING: THERE ARE ADULT THEMES AND CONTENT SPRINKLED THROUGHOUT ALL You have been warned ;)

Ten years after I began at Hogwarts, Sebastian Sallow is back. And he's Professor Sallow now. He disappeared after the fall of Ranrok and Rookwood, after I lost Professor Fig, and after Ominis and I couldn't keep him from losing himself. But I never forgot him. As students his darkness kept us apart, and as adults his quest to make amends took him around the world and off the radar while my career with the Ministry kept me close to home. With the unexpected opportunity to reconnect, a wildfire of emotions threatens to bring us close once more. And a mysterious, imminent threat from another land threatens to keep us apart...forever. A story about love, loss, and redemption. CH. 1 Snippet: "I can hear Sebastian's breath grow shallow as he grabs ahold of one of my wrists tightly and I notice a familiar shift that brings a strange glisten to his eye and dark shadow to his brow. I've know that look from before, long ago, in the catacombs and the undercroft. But here it has an intensity that I've never seen. He is voracious and wild --primal, even. Like an old familiar melody, I can almost hear the subtlety of his metered self control that prevents him from becoming completely unhinged. And, oh my god, the realization of how badly he wants me nearly send me off." ---- WARNING: NSFW, Mature | Hogwarts Legacy Fan-fiction | Romance | Contains Hogwarts Legacy Spoilers | F Gryffindor OC / Sebastian Sallow. | M OC / Ominis Gaunt | Steamy Start, Slow Burn
