It's been two years since Ominis graduated Hogwarts. Two years of returning to his family and being subjected to their whims once more. Though changed by his friendship to Sebastian and Damien during his school days, he has been hardened by the treatment of his brother and father. His family has arranged a marriage for him to a woman named Ariadne, but no woman chosen by his family could be anything good for him. He doesn't trust her, and if he can get away with interacting with her as little as possible he'll be happy. Ariadne is the youngest daughter of a pure blood family, raised to be an obedient and demure wife of a wealthy man. Her marriage gave her family a healthy dowry, and so she was cast to the viper den of the Gaunt family. She knew the reputation of the Gaunts, crazed and violent men that obsessed over dark magic and blood quantum. Yet Ominis seems oddly... different. He doesn't seem at all like the rest of the Gaunts. Maybe this marriage won't be the nightmare she thought it would be.

When Ellora Selwyn was sorted into Ravenclaw at 11 years old, her parents turned their backs on her. Though constantly ostracized and treated with blatant and purposeful unfairness by her family, the youngest Selwyn child never imagined her mother would hand her a list of names at the end of her fifth year at Hogwarts with the expectation that she choose one to marry. The list? Subpar. Filled with names of the lowest members of their pureblood social circles. When Ominis Gaunt, hailing from arguably the highest family of purebloods in Europe, proposes she forsake the list her mother gave her and instead enter an engagement with him, Ellora jumps at the chance. But things aren't always as they seem, and every time the 6th Year Ravenclaw thinks she has her 7th Year fiancé figured out, he changes the game.

Katherine Hawthorne hoped for a normal term at Hogwarts after the borderline romantic summer she spent with her favorite Slytherin, but she felt like she was destined to repeat history when the Keepers told her to protect the repository at all costs. With Professor Fig dead, it's up to her and her alone to figure out a new path to repairing the damage Ranrok caused. She could turn to her friends in her time of need - Natsai Onai, Poppy Sweeting, Sebastian Sallow, and Ominis Gaunt - but someone powerful knows about the repository's delicate status and longs for the magic it holds. The last thing Katherine wants to do is hurt her friends by involving them in undertakings they aren't prepared for, but if she doesn't, she risks losing everything. **Characters aged up to majority**
