Sophia Ashwood is a young witch who, upon arriving at Hogwarts in 1890, discovers that her family name carries a dark and forbidden legacy. During her time in Slytherin, she must face hidden family secrets, passions that were never meant to be unleashed, and the dangerous pull that ties her to two of her classmates: Sebastian Sallow and Ominis Gaunt. Between loyalty, desire, and dark magic, Sophia will learn that not all of the deadliest spells are cast with a wand. [SEBASTIAN SALLOW × OC] [OMINIS GAUNT × OC] "There is nothing more lethal than a secret shared among three... and I am trapped at the heart of it."

**CURRENTLY ON HIATUS** I'm still actively writing the story, however, as I was publishing the chapters, I found myself going back to edit them constantly. It made more sense for me to finish the story (or at least get a good foundation going) before continuing. I published the prologue so you guys can get a glimpse of what the new story is going to be about, so hopefully you enjoy as much as the previous version! Astrid Rosier was born into privilege, but her life has never been simple. Believed to be a Squib until a tragic accident revealed her magical potential. Now, a seventh-year Ravenclaw at Hogwarts, she finds herself drawn back into a world of ancient magic and into the orbit of Sebastian Sallow. Friendship, love, and morality twist together as Astrid's power grows, threatening to consume everything she thought she knew. With Ominis by her side and Sebastian in the shadows, the line between right and wrong disappears, and the choices she makes may haunt her forever. *SPOILERS - There will be spoilers for the Hogwarts Legacy game.

[COMPLETED] Some witches are born to cast spells. She was forged to survive them. When fifth-year Elaine Aryndell arrives at Hogwarts, she carries more than scars - she carries ancient magic she was never meant to wield. Trained to fight without spells and haunted by her past, Elaine is thrust into a growing war against goblins, poachers, and power long buried beneath the castle. As her bond with Sebastian Sallow deepens, so does the danger, within and without. With Hogwarts at risk and her soul unraveling, Elaine must decide: will she be the weapon everyone fears, or the witch who breaks the cycle? ༓☾༓༒༓☽༓ This is my take on the Hogwarts Legacy story, with lots of classroom banter and bonding between the students. Since we've all played the game and know what happens during the trials, the overall story will be shortened, merged, or even skipped. The focus here is more on character interactions and later what happens after the goblin attack. If you're coming from The Heart of The Well and don't want to go through everything I'd suggest you start with the Chapter 37: It Feels Like Dying (this is where the split happens)

[COMPLETED] After the fall of Hogwarts, Ranrok's victory reshaped the world. Wizards and witches were branded like cattle, their magic bound to servitude and turned into "wells" - living vessels, drained and used by their human captors. Sebastian Sallow has known nothing but chains and ownership since the war's end. Bought. Broken. Discarded. Until the day a woman with storm-gray eyes claims him and everything begins to change. As secrets unravel and sparks ignite, survival becomes something far more dangerous. Because the woman who holds his leash may also hold the key to everything they've both lost. ༓☾༓༒༓☽༓ Instituted by the goblin-human coalition as a means of maintaining post-war order, the Branding Procedure replaced personal autonomy with structured containment. Wells - formerly wizards and witches - were marked with arcane sigils that both sealed their magic and allowed for controlled access by authorized humans. "A well that survives is more useful than one that breaks. Control does not require brutality. It requires comprehension." - General Aryndell

Sebastian Sallow is a seventh-year and has come back to Hogwarts after taking a year off after the traumatic events of fifth-year. Millicent Rosmerta had been left in the dark after Sebastian had cut contact with her and Ominis. However, it seems Sebastian is different and dark magic is a contributing factor.

"The next time you need help, bring Ominis." Sebastian squared his shoulders, getting ready for another fight. Adelaide rolled her eyes, "I would have thought someone who offered to sleep with me would last longer in a fight." "Protego." Sebastian shouted, defending them from a sword thrown their way. He sent her a quick, devilish look. "Adelaide, I have no issues with lasting long." _______________________________________________________ Based off of Hogwarts Legacy, a Sebastian Sallow Love Story. NOTES: ** Although the Main Character is starting Hogwarts in her 5th year, the characters will be aged up due to some mature scenes that will be depicted later on in the story.
