(Warning: Sequel) Five years later, Avelina and Sebastian find themselves unexpectedly reunited at the very place their story began: Hogwarts. No longer students, but professors. But something is wrong. Magic is... strange. All magic, except for Avelina's. Naturally, she decides to find out why... until a familiar voice behind her offers to come along. They were oblivious once-to what they had. Now forced to work together again, they must figure things out quickly... before everything, including their long forgotten love begins slipping into oblivion. Avelina: "Sebastian started working at Hogwarts." Silence. Then- "Are you-are you fucking with me right now?" I cringed. "Nope." "Sebastian Sallow?" I nodded slowly, dreading the inevitable fallout. "As in the Sebastian Sallow? The one you used to sneak into every cupboard, closet, and shadowy corridor you could find to rub against like you'd been possessed by some demon?" "Viv, please," I hissed, nearly choking on my tea. "Keep your bloody voice down." Sebastian: And him. That bloody peacock in a suit, down on one knee like he was offering her the goddamn moon. I didn't want to care. I didn't want to feel this. It's been five bloody years. Five years since she left. Since we said we didn't hate each other anymore and then didn't say anything else at all. I couldn't keep letting her live in my head like she still belonged to me. Because she didn't. Not anymore. «⋅✧⋅» Grumpy x Sunshine | Sebastian Sallow x OC | First Person POV | Dual POV Mature content (18+).

The year is 1892. Liya Chang, a Slytherin student in Hogwarts, possesses a rare ability to harness ancient magic. Yet, as the powerful force surges within her, she realises that this power is a double edged sword - she must quickly learn to control it, before it controls her. On the other side of the spectrum, Sebastian Sallow will do whatever it takes to find a cure for his sister, Anne, who was brutally cursed - even if that meant meddling in the dark arts. An unlikely friendship was forged between two fierce academic rivals. Liya and Sebastian, like two moths drawn to the flame, find themselves navigating a dangerous path together. Can they defeat the adversaries that lie in their way, or will they succumb to the magic they failed to control? Surely they should know that power corrupts... Power absolutely corrupts.

They called him a monster.
And maybe he was. When Briar Williams is taken prisoner by a dark wizard camp deep within the Forbidden Forest, she expects to die at the hands of the one who leads it. But it turns out to be Sebastian Sallow, the boy she once betrayed years ago. Instead, she finds herself caged, watched, and curiously spared. Sebastian is no longer the reckless Slytherin she remembers; he's cruel, calculating, and... oddly collapses at random? But beneath his coldness flickers the same sharp intellect and haunted soul that once fascinated her. As Briar unravels the secrets of how Sebastian never made it to Azkaban, his seemingly random failing health, and the camp's twisted purpose, she begins to question everything she knows about monsters-and the man she's come to fear and pity. Meanwhile, Ominis Gaunt-the Officer of Hogsmeade and Briar's long-time lover who desperately wants to marry her-has been convinced by Poppy to save her. Warning: This is a dark, mature, and mysterious Hogwarts Legacy romance. This story explores trauma, morality, and will feature some explicit scenes of violence.

Sebastian Sallow and Gracelyn Marwood have always been partners in crime, best friends, and the source of each other's greatest mischief. But as they enter their final year at Hogwarts, something shifts. Teasing glances linger too long, friendly duels grow heated, and unspoken words threaten to break the delicate balance they've built. Sebastian is usually confident and a flirt, yet utterly infuriating when it comes to romance. Gracelyn is self-confident, radiant, and yet only one who can make him falter in his steps. When jealousy sparks, secret feelings unravel, and choices lead them down unexpected paths, they're forced to confront the undeniable-this has never been just friendship. From the tension-filled halls of Hogwarts to stolen moments in the Undercroft, from whispered promises by the lake to the life waiting beyond the castle walls, their love is a slow-burning, all-consuming fire. But Sebastian's past haunts him, and his greatest fear isn't the darkness he once embraced-it's his own mind telling him he doesn't deserve her. Will he finally let himself have the future he never thought possible? Or will his fear of falling cost him the one person who's always been willing to catch him? Friends to something more. The best kind of madness. *BONUS AU CHAPTERS AT THE END*

Sixth year was supposed to be a fresh start, but Sebastian Sallow has been pulling away, and Vanity Steel can't figure out why. When a night out brings them back together, they fall into an unexpected fake relationship that quickly becomes something far more complicated. But just as everything begins to feel real, Vanity is given a once in a lifetime opportunity. The only catch? If she takes it, she has to leave Sebastian behind. And she has no idea the relationship was never fake to him at all. ---- "Alright, just take it easy," he said, resting a hand on her thigh without a second thought, a reassuring touch meant to ground her.

My hand doesn't bite, I promise." ---- This story includes 18+ content and spicy scenes, uncluding breeding kink and hand fetishes. Because of that the characters are 18+.
