It's been two years since Ominis graduated Hogwarts. Two years of returning to his family and being subjected to their whims once more. Though changed by his friendship to Sebastian and Damien during his school days, he has been hardened by the treatment of his brother and father. His family has arranged a marriage for him to a woman named Ariadne, but no woman chosen by his family could be anything good for him. He doesn't trust her, and if he can get away with interacting with her as little as possible he'll be happy. Ariadne is the youngest daughter of a pure blood family, raised to be an obedient and demure wife of a wealthy man. Her marriage gave her family a healthy dowry, and so she was cast to the viper den of the Gaunt family. She knew the reputation of the Gaunts, crazed and violent men that obsessed over dark magic and blood quantum. Yet Ominis seems oddly... different. He doesn't seem at all like the rest of the Gaunts. Maybe this marriage won't be the nightmare she thought it would be.

Ominis Gaunt has a past and a family that shadows his life, a soul burdened with guilt he never believes can be forgiven. Wren Harding has never known a life of magic until the day dark wizards came knocking on her door and changed everything, leaving her with a curse that leaves her blind on some days and sighted on others. Upon coming upon her own magic shortly after, Wren is invited to begin school at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry under the wing of none other than Ominis Gaunt. Will the two find solace and peace in each other or will pasts be too strong to forge new futures? Ominis Gaunt x Fem!oc (but please feel free to replace "Wren" with your oc's name and "Harding" with your oc's last name in your mind if you'd prefer to read it that way.) Slow burn romance filled with heart swelling fluff, chaos, angst, magic, dark magic, romance, friendship, family, twists, turns and heartache. Characters aged up to year seven (18 years old).

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.

Ariane de Tandail never dreamed of being a heroine. But when her world is turned upside down after an ancient power awakens within her, the young girl has no choice but to embrace her destiny. Sent to Hogwarts in her fifth year and taken under the wing of Eleazar Fig, Ariane joins Gryffindor, determined to prove herself in a school that wasn't expecting her... and doesn't understand her. Proud, impulsive, loyal to the point of recklessness, Ariane quickly encounters whispers, judgements, the reality of this new world and a magic that seems to want to test her. But she also discovers friendship and troubling glances, such as that of Sebastian Sallow, a charismatic Slytherin who is determined to uncover all her secrets. Between ancestral secrets, magical rivalries and attractions, Ariane will have to learn to forge her own path. For in the corridors of Hogwarts, it is not always spells that leave the deepest scars...
