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

//"We were two sides of the same coin, he and I. But he was never brave enough to flip it."// 3 years after the events of 1891 following Ranrok and Rookwood's demise and the dismantling of their uneasy alliance, the cracks they made in the Highlands still need mending. Sera, 'The Hero of Hogwarts' , is trying to do just that, all the while wrestling with her own self-discovery in the wake of the losses she has suffered. Meanwhile, rumors float that Ominous Gaunt has returned from his travels with new companions, and no one has seen or heard from his friend Sebastian Sallow since the start of sixth-year. What happened to these once rising stars?

Nine years after the events of Hogwarts Legacy, Sebastian Sallow has little hope for a positive future. While serving a life sentence in Azkaban, he managed to escape with the assistance of a terroristic organization of Dark wizards. When the Ministry of Magic eventually caught up with Sebastian, he struck a deal to serve as a double-agent and bring the gang to justice as a means to his freedom. Lonely, traumatized, and depressed, he never imagines his luck will change. But one moonlit night, it does. Fate intervenes in the form of Kate Mayflower, the Hogwarts assistant librarian. Infinitely optimistic and kind, she helps Sebastian find joy and peace again as he regains his humanity and rebuilds his life. While their journey towards happily ever after is a turbulent one, they slowly learn to trust in each other, believe in the power of true love, and heed the lessons from the past in order to grow.

This work is marked as part of a series BUT I cover and explain all important points from already posted stories (in first 3 chapters, they are already posted) so you don't have to read them before this one. Rated Mature for mental health issues, psychological traumas and trauma triggers, and a couple of scenes with graphic depictions of violence. Amberlyn just wants life to feel normal for once. But at sixteen, wielding Ancient Magic she struggles to control, constantly needing to prove she isn't a danger to magical society, and navigating her first-crush-turned-secret-relationship, normality is rather hard to come by. Ominis Gaunt is determined to make it through his remaining years at Hogwarts, the only path to freeing himself from the dark shadow of his family's legacy-a legacy that relentlessly haunts him and that now threatens those he holds dear. Meanwhile, the Auror, investigating a case involving that mysterious and extremely dangerous girl, decides that keeping her friend, Sebastian Sallow-who's already missed half a year of school-close at hand might be more useful than anyone expects. estimate for this short story - 50k words

But Phoebe is no ordinary witch. She wields a form of ancient magic unseen for centuries, making her the target of local Dark wizards and a particularly powerful goblin for reasons she can't fathom. Despite facing a magical baptism of fire, the looming threat of the Dark Arts, and her dear father's declining health, Phoebe is determined to carve out a happy, fulfilling life in her new world.

** copied over from my AO3 ** Phoebe Honeyball is cursed-struck by a vengeful Victor Rookwood miles away from Hogwarts. Yet she can't remember it, nor why Sebastian Sallow was with her when it happened. In fact, her entire sixth year is a blank. Her last memory is of returning home at the end of her fifth year and grieving the loss of Professor Fig after finally defeating Ranrok. As Phoebe tries to piece together her lost memories, she's forced to confront some uncomfortable truths: Anne Sallow remains cursed and missing, Ominis Gaunt faces harassment from his despicable family, and Sebastian Sallow harbours a secret he can't share. Amidst the fog of her muddled mind, one thing stands out with clarity: Phoebe must revive Isidora Morganach's portrait to save both Anne, and herself. ** this can be read STANDALONE and is also a continuation of my story 'Inky Blue Flames' on AO3.
