Two years after the battle underneath Hogwarts, an uneasy peace has gripped the countryside. The war is won, but the losses are heavy. When a student goes missing during their seventh year, Ominis, Sebastian, and the Hero of Hogwarts, Eleanore Malfoy, must put aside differences and personal trauma to work together against a new threat. But secrets, lies, pureblood politics, and betrayals loom. Peace is never really won. It's fleeting. It is bestowed in small increments of time at the cost of bloodshed. Everything has a price, and heroism must too often look like villainy. Content warnings: descriptive depictions of violence and torture, mental illness (heavy on the PTSD), smut, mentions/references to rape/non-con, and struggles with trauma. *All characters are aged up. * All characters owned and trademarked by Warner Bros and Portkey Games all rights to them.

This is a fanfic of @MiaDMarquez's fanfic titled "The Sperpant and the Bird." Yes, it's fanfic-seption. It's exciting no? Nikolai Volkov has always struck to the code of being an Auror: Always keep a clear head and never lose sight of the task at hand. Following this code was never an issue for him until he is charged with taking ancient magic wilder and woman of his dreams Everleigh Greyson on a long trip to the next trial. Alone. Merlin, help him.

SECRETS AND LIES. Almost two years after the chaos of Hogwarts Legacy, Fiona "Fi" Grey has found more than friendship in Sebastian Sallow and Ominis Gaunt - she's found the family she never had, bound by the battle to save The Repository, cure Anne and the harrowing trials they've faced together along the way. But when loyalties start to fracture and hidden truths claw their way to the surface, Fiona realises that even the strongest bonds can shatter. Entangled in a love triangle that's pushing her to the brink and haunted by a growing crisis of identity, Fiona is forced to confront a painful truth: trust is fragile and betrayal cuts deep. As danger returns to shatter her peace and deception thickens, Fiona must decide who she is, what she stands for - and whether the friendships she's built can survive the secrets threatening to tear them apart. ✨✨✨ ON HIATUS✨✨✨

When Sebastian heard about the arrival of the new fifth-year, he hadn't paid it much mind. So if you told him that she would soon best him in a duel, cure his sister of her curse, and completely and utterly steal his heart-well, he wouldn't have believed you, quite frankly But, here he is.
