''You seriously need to stop calling me your friend,'' Sebastian tells me in a low voice. ''Then what should I call you?'' I ask curiously. My stomach is fluttering like never before. ''I haven't quite figured it out just yet. But 'friend' is not it.'' He says as he squeezes my hand harder. ---- Sebastian Sallow x reader, a love story.

Following Dracaena Hoctina's eventful fifth year as a new student with extraordinary powers, both she and her best friend, Ominis Gaunt, enjoyed a relatively peaceful sixth year at Hogwarts. Now, as their seventh and final year approaches, they hope for another untroubled school year. However, Dracaena still feels no small level of guilt over her decision to turn Sebastian in to the Ministry. It's a guilt Ominis shares, and the pair have grown close following Sebastian's incarceration in Azkaban at the end of their fifth year, even spending their holidays together. Both of them still miss Sebastian terribly, and wonder if things could have been different if they had made different choices. On the Hogwarts Express, winging their way towards the castle once more, Dracaena and Ominis are interrupted in their compartment by a strange, yet wonderfully familiar figure standing in the doorway. Sebastian has returned. As the school year progresses, the Silver Trio are faced with an array of problems to navigate. Their approaching exams, the horrible amount of homework, and a blossoming love triangle between the three of them are the least of their worries, as Dracaena's magical powers begin to grow out of control. (!! All characters are 18+ !!) Note - due to a recent spate of disrespectful behaviour, comments are now moderated. I would like to foster a positive atmosphere for everyone engaging with this story, and while opinions are freely accepted, outright negativity, aggressiveness and insults are not. Ta~💚

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.
