It had been over a year since everything unfolded with Ranrock, but there were so many loose ends. Poachers out for revenge, the ancient magic that still slumbered inside the now seventh-year Slytherin Elena Varris, and of course, Sebastian. What had been perceived as an eighteenth birthday owl from Ominis turns out to be a request for help. Sebastian had been doing much better after the incident with his Uncle, but has suddenly appeared to begin slipping again. But she doesn't know how she could possibly help. Sebastian hasn't spoken to her in over a year. Did she really even *want* to wrap herself up in that again? ...Did she even really have a choice? **Some spicy content/ongoing revisions. I publish a chapter when it's 'finished', but sometimes I go back to add bits here and there when I think of it.** TW's// Sex, Blood, Violence !!**Posting schedule is going to be a little inconstant over the next month or so. I try really hard to get out a chapter a day, but as I am moving across a couple states at the beginning of April, it's going to become harder and harder to maintain that until I'm settled in at the new place. Thank you for the patience!**!!

|| SEBASTIAN SALLOW FANFIC || ꧁"The things we do for love like this are ugly, mad, full of sweat and regret. This love burns you and maims you and twists you inside out. It is a monstrous love and it makes monsters of us all."꧂ It has been almost a decade since Evelyn Relm defeated Ranrok and hid the ancient magic, within herself. She's worked hard to keep that part of herself as quiet as she could, getting a job working at Ollivander's Wand Shop so that she may slowly distribute the magic she holds into her craftsman ship, sharing it with the Hogwarts Community one wand at a time. The ancient magic stirs within her bones, gnawing at her sanity constantly and only ever seemed to ease when she was creating - so that's exactly what she did. Only when an old friend returns to Hogwarts, confessing that life in the castle and community has started to become more and more restless throughout the years instead of becoming quieter and safer than what Evelyn had originally thought, does she consider facing the parts of herself that she has spent so much time burying. She quickly realizes that she must once again meet face to face with a darkness that stares back. ** Contains Spoilers for the Hogwarts Legacy Game ** This story takes place roughly seven years in the future since the events in the Hogwarts Legacy Game ** Tribute to the Hogwarts Legacy Game
