Sebastian Sallow is a tortured soul with the world on his shoulders whose only mission is to save his sister Anne - at any cost. Atley Barlowe is a budding new witch who also carries the world on her shoulders as she travels the road less traveled to unlock the secrets of her connection to ancient magic. Will the burdens of their lives, minds and souls prove to be too much or can they save each other? Sebastian Sallow x Fem!oc (but please feel free to replace "Atley" with your oc's name and "Barlowe" with your oc's last name in your mind if you'd prefer to read it that way.) Slow burn romance but will slowly become a deep and dark fic filled with heart swelling fluff, chaos, angst, magic, dark magic, romance, friendship, family, twists, turns and all sorts of soul crushing. This will be a LONG fic in order to keep the entirety of the story together - but for new or slow readers - do not worry, chapters are fast paced and kept at a manageable length. Will contain spoilers from the Hogwarts Legacy game. Characters aged up to year seven (18 years old). - *SPOILERS - There will be MANY spoilers for the HL game so read at your own risk ** TW: This story will contain themes of death, struggles in mental health, depression, PTSD, anxiety, violence, a bit of intimacy, terminal illness, blood, alcoholism, injury, self harm, "foul" language - if you are uncomfortable with any of these, please do not read! *** All characters aside from Atley and their likeness are owned, created and trademarked by Warner Bros, Portkey Games, the Wizarding World, etc... all rights to them. Story / original character owned by me. Occasional scenes be taken from the game and use quotes, but my own additions will be added to them. Lastly, thank you for reading and all your support! I don't plan to add many notes of my own but I would LOVE if you would leave your own thoughts, commentary and votes. It's always exciting to feel like I'm reading an annotated book passed around among friends! :)

[Sebastian Sallow x Female OC] *First Person POV* || Enemies to lovers THE CHARACTERS IN THIS BOOK ARE OVER 18!!!! Arabella Vasilis started at Hogwarts as a 7th year with her twin brother Artemis Vasilis. Eager to be sorted, her brother is sorted into Gryffindor, however when the sorting hat is placed on her head she is left speechless after being sorted into Slytherin. Although she is confused and scared with the sorting hat's decision, she wasn't aware of a curly brown haired boy watching her inquisitively from the Slytherin table. • "Do you know how much I despise you?" He mutters, eyes flickering to my lips. I widened my eyes, my voice getting caught in my throat. I swallowed quickly and licked my lips- which made him suck in a sharp breath. "Yes." I whispered breathlessly, looking down at his lips as well. • Hogwarts Legacy Fanfiction *Fluffandstuff warning* the characters in the book are over 18 (Chapters with fluff will have warnings at the start) Artemis and Arabella Vasilis are original characters based on the characters I made in the game, all the other characters are owned by the creators of Hogwarts Legacy
