"I was reaching for stars that didn't exist, caught up in the fantasies born of willful hope. I threw myself in the path of fate because I wanted to be swept away." ... We do stupid, stupid things in the name of those we love. We dedicate ourselves to false promises and we hope that in the end, it all turns out alright. I was never the kind of person who jumped into things without thinking about the consequences. I never dreamed of what could come from some silly mistakes. Two new students come for their 6th year at Hogwarts. Neither of them particularly want to be there. What havoc could a witch and a dark wizard bring to the year? As they both become frustratingly curious about each other, things fall in place that might never have occurred if they had just never met. ... So I started this book because I was bored, and now it's kind of my life accomplishment weirdly enough. It's not perfect and definitely not what it started out as but this fic has parts of my heart and soul in it and I'm proud of how far it's come. Contains toxic but also lovable Mattheo Riddle and an emotionally relatable mc. !!!Finished updating but still doing some editing!!! *WARNING* Contains violence, sexual content, swearing, mentions of abuse, death and possibly more. *I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters, Mattheo Riddle belongs to @yasmineamara, I only own my own characters. Happy reading

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.

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.

There's barely anyone on the grounds so we wouldn't have to worry with everyone taking Astrology being up here" he spoke, looking at the sky. "They do like to spend all of their time here don't they?" I joked "I don't blame them. It is quite lovely" I noticed him look toward me from the corner of my eye, then look back up. "The moon is beautiful, isn't it?" he spoke. - !!! HOGWARTS LEGACY SPOILER WARNING !!!! Y/N was sent away after the defeat of Ranrok and the loss of her father figure (Professor Fig).

Elizabeth Harries just turned 22, and she's unhappy with her life. The power of ancient magic escapes her control, forcing her to figure that the only solution is to lead an anonymous life, off the radar of the Ministry of Magic. Her companions have found their way, their personal success, while she struggles to hide the gift she has received but never wanted for herself, and works at a well known bookshop in Diagon Alley. It's only when on Halloween night, 1896, she encounters Sebastian Sallow after six years, that something awakens in her: the awareness of her own power, her dormient Slytherin ambition, the desire for redemption and knowledge, but mostly for control over her own life, her own destiny and her powers. ----------- Hello everyone 🤍 The Aftermath is a Sebastian Sallow x MC ff which takes place in 1896, six years after the events which took place in Hogwarts Legacy. The fiction deals with themes such as love, loss, grief, identity, mental issues. TW will be placed before any chapter that could in any way make the reader uncomfortable. This fiction is also for a mature audience: every chapter involving +18 content will be signaled beforehand. I do not own all the characters from Hogwarts Legacy; I do own Elizabeth Harries (my MC). Just know I'm not an English native speaker, so I ask for your forgiveness in advance if I ever make mistakes (I'm trying my best I swear!!!). - Lizzie

There is no cure in forgetting: pain cannot simply go away. Ella Peverell knew that from the bottom of her heart. A year and a half after the Final Repository Battle, she still faced the consequences of inhaling every ounce of Isidora's magic. Her relentless pursuit for power had not only destroyed her life, but now was threatening to destroy everyone around her. As the days went by, it was becoming harder and harder to keep the magic that throbbed inside her veins under control, the boiling anger that overshadowed every sense each time she held her wand. Well, almost all of them. Love, when soft and cautious, can be one of the most effective antidotes. But that was never the type of love Sebastian Sallow had to offer - his love was fiery, it took no precautions and it knew no limits. He was willing to burn the world if it meant keeping her warm. And she was very aware of how dangerous that feeling was. The downfall of two serpents. Their hearts were as cold as the winter around them. The rage they carried inside, warm and thick as blood upon the snow.
