** If you're looking for a plot- driven story that includes 18+ content revolving a hellacious love triangle and an MC gone wild, then this is the story for you bestie** Katherine Owens is the proclaimed "Hero of Hogwarts" since defeating Ranrok and those who followed him before the end of her 5th year. Summer is over and upon starting her 6th year, Katherine is determined to flee from heroism so she can pave the way for the bright future she wishes. Though in doing so, she must reconsider the friendships and potential romances that were budded among the chaos, as well as facing the past and new reality of the monster in which emerged from it all - herself. ***DISCLAIMER: like many other stories on here revolving similar characters, the characters in my story are NOT minors. In my version you start 6th year as an 18 year old. The remaining two years are classified more as college levels, and are intended for more as a way to prepare students for their adult lives outside of Hogwarts. YOU WILL NEED PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE STORY, AS I WILL NOT BE DIVING INTO SPECIFICS***

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.

[{COMPLETED}] **PLEASE SEE LIST OF WARNINGS AND TRIGGERS BEFORE READING** It's been three years since Ominis and I made the choice for Sebastian - to send him away. The consequences of our actions have the shadows talking back. Their voices are lovely, alluring, and most of all sinful. With their wicked tongues, they offer a temptation I may not be able to refuse. I can't help but wonder if we made the wrong choice. *** This is a dark enemies to enemy/lovers romance for Sebastian Sallow, and my OC Hyacinth "Hattie" Hills that takes place during her last year at Hogwarts. She is still in the throws of recovering from her first year, heavily stricken with the grief and trauma it caused her. Now that she's begun to heal, there's a shadow stalking the grounds that threatens to undo all of that progress. All participating characters are 18+, as this is set a bit in the future and with an added year at Hogwarts. This work contains many dark themes and triggers. There is some Ominis/OC but this is not for the Ominis girlies, unless you want to see him hurt. This fic is dark... and inspired by an idea of Sebastian being something heinous...
