Noelle Ellis and Sebastian Sallow just can't understand each other's feelings after their fifth year. Republished Book.

In a post-Hogwarts Legacy world, nearly two years after the final battle, seventh year Gryffindor student Ash Cendrillion finds herself isolated from her once-close friends. Burdened by the weight of her traumatic experiences and carrying the ancient magic she acquired in the repository beneath Hogwarts, Ash spirals into a cycle of despair and self-destruction. However, when an unforeseen threat emerges, Ash is reluctantly drawn back into the lives of Sebastian and Ominis, rekindling a complex web of emotions and unresolved issues. Amidst the turmoil, Ash navigates her own inner demons, while seeking moments of respite and connection. Can she find herself again? (Cover art belongs to Karolina on Pinterest)

In her seventh year, Alora Winters' world breaks apart when Sebastian Sallow returns with no memory of the bond they once shared. Determined to learn the truth, she follows a trail of magic and secrets that pulls her deeper into their tangled past. But the more she uncovers, the more she realises their story isn't finished - no matter what he remembers. Nothing is simple. Nothing is safe. And some memories are just better left forgotten.

***SPOILERS*** This takes place after the "In The Shadow of the Relic" side quest, so if you don't want to be spoiled, stop now! What if Sebastian needs a place to hide and recover, while his friends figure out how to help him? What if his good friend just so happens to have a place that no one else knows about, where he can rest and heal and work through his issues? And what if, along the way, they find out that their friendship is more than just a friendship? Can love heal all? Raileigh Malcolm thought there was something strange about the relic that Sebastian had been using, and she wasn't sure her friend was completely in control of his own actions when he used an unforgivable curse. She needed time to figure out the answer before the ministry came calling, and Sebastian needed somewhere to hide. A little bit of good old fashioned hard work might help him, too. And the castle ruins in her vivarium were the perfect place to hide.

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.
