Sebastian had never planned to return to England. Too often, he worries he has risked far too much by returning here, even if it is only temporarily. There was a reason he had disappeared after Anne died. A reason he'd wanted *Her* and Ominis to forget him and move on. Its frantic message beats against his ribs and reminds him that where he goes Death follows and he cannot linger here. Until circumstances throw *her* back into his orbit and he sees the child. The little girl with his his curls and his eyes. And everything he's convinced himself of for nearly five years is suddenly thrown into question.

The story follows two familiar characters from Hogwarts Legacy, Sebastian Sallow and Ominis Gaunt, alongside a new character, Laurie Prince. They embark on an adventure to find a powerful yet mysterious artifact before other dark wizards find and use it. The story is filled with tension, much humor, adventure, the sparks of growing romance and ofcourse some magic. The tale pulls readers into a journey of mystery and discovery.

Clara Elmore was fifteen when she saved the wizarding world. The Hero of Hogwarts they'd called her. But could she truly be called a hero if she was the villain in the stories of so many others? Was it truly victory if blood lingered under her fingernails from the mountain of corpses she'd crawled over to obtain it? Was it truly victory If Anne was still dying? If Ominis still lived under the shadow of his family? If Sebastian had vanished almost without a trace and left everything that had sparked between them behind? Two years later; dark forces begin to stir in the shadows, nightmares prove frighteningly real, and memories are not what they seem. Victory may not have been what she thought and The Repository may have only been the beginning. ******** * This writing thing? It's new. Very new and exciting and mostly scary.

As one of the best Unspeakables of the 21st century, Celeste Auclair, works in the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic with her partner Teddy Lupin. They deal with the time chamber and their job is to make sure events within the timeline occur. It's when she alone is assigned by a prophecy to pursue the canon 19th century Hogwarts event as a new 7th year, that things become quickly complicated. Celeste has to connect the dots as she learns more about her family's suspicious past, save the wizarding community from Ranrok and Rookwood's terror, all while handling two Slytherin boys who don't quite know how to mind their own business. That's quite the juggling act you've got going on there Celeste. Something's gotta give, right? And if so, where and in what timeline? *I post once every two weeks currently*
