In the dark heart of wizarding aristocracy, love is the cruelest curse of all. Aurelia Black was once the shame of her bloodline-a supposed Squib destined to fade into obscurity. Now, she's the prodigy who saved Hogwarts, cloak in power, poise, and poisonous expectations. Her reward? A betrothal to her former friend turned bitter rival: Ominis Gaunt. Cold, cutting, and hellbent on escaping his family's legacy, Ominis has vowed to disappear after graduation. But when Aurelia discovers his plan, she proposed a dangerous compromise: she'll help him fake his death and disappear from his family for good-if he plays the devoted diance long enough to protect her reputation. What follows is a venom-laced charade of stolen glances and seething hatred, set against a background of opulent galas, glittering lies, and the weight of expectations. Fated to be enemies. Forced to be partners out of necessity. This is not a love story. (Slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers, angst, dark wizarding elite, arranged marriage) Told from Aurelia Black's POV

Ominis Gaunt x MC Hogwarts Legacy Fanfic Seventh year is in full swing, and love is in the air-everywhere but between best friends Ominis Gaunt and MC. When Ominis offhandedly admits he wouldn't even know how to date someone, MC launches "Operation: Dateable"-a series of increasingly ridiculous lessons to turn the dry, brooding Slytherin into boyfriend material. From fake dates to educational cuddling, their "practice" romance starts to feel a little too real. But once the lessons end and it's time for Ominis to go out into the world and charm someone else... MC must face the truth she's been avoiding. A slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romcom full of awkward flirting, emotional pining, and one extremely reluctant heartthrob.

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*
