"We can't keep tipping the scale of friendship, Sebastian." I say, my voice trembling as I meet his gaze. His expression falters, vulnerability flickering across his face. "Then tell me, Y/N-what do we call this?" ────⋆⋅☆⋅⋆── Returning to Hogwarts for your seventh year, you're still celebrated for your heroic deeds during fifth year. But fame comes with its challenges, and nothing complicates life more than unspoken emotions. Over the summer, you, Ominis, and Sebastian made a solemn pact: no matter what, nothing would break your trio apart. One condition, however, left you uneasy-Ominis forbade any romance between you and Sebastian, convinced it would only bring chaos. You agreed, believing your feelings for Sebastian were purely platonic. But as the new school year begins, the line between friendship and something deeper began to blur. Leander Prewett, persistent as ever, refuses to take no for an answer when it comes to his infatuation with you that started in your fifth year. Desperate for a solution, you turn to Sebastian for help, thinking it might finally end Leander's advances. Little did you know, this small request would set the stage for a far more tangled web of emotions and forbidden feelings.

The year is 1892. Liya Chang, a Slytherin student in Hogwarts, possesses a rare ability to harness ancient magic. Yet, as the powerful force surges within her, she realises that this power is a double edged sword - she must quickly learn to control it, before it controls her. On the other side of the spectrum, Sebastian Sallow will do whatever it takes to find a cure for his sister, Anne, who was brutally cursed - even if that meant meddling in the dark arts. An unlikely friendship was forged between two fierce academic rivals. Liya and Sebastian, like two moths drawn to the flame, find themselves navigating a dangerous path together. Can they defeat the adversaries that lie in their way, or will they succumb to the magic they failed to control? Surely they should know that power corrupts... Power absolutely corrupts.

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*

After Hogwarts, MC has become a powerful wielder of Ancient Magic, helping those in need across the Hogwarts Valley. She is in a comfortable, if unexciting, relationship with Garreth Weasley, who is part of her best friend Ominis Gaunt's Auror team. As Lead Auror, Ominis is determined to take down a dangerous dark wizard organization-until Sebastian Sallow, his former best friend turned infamous dark wizard, unexpectedly returns. Reuniting with MC after years apart, Sebastian's presence stirs up old tensions, unresolved emotions, and undeniable chemistry. As MC is drawn deeper into Sebastian's world, she struggles between the life she planned and the one her heart craves. With betrayals, power struggles, and a dangerous game of morality unfolding, Ominis and Sebastian battle for control-not just over the Auror team, but over the fate of MC's heart. When love and darkness collide, can Sebastian truly change, or will he drag MC into the abyss with him?

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.

**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.

"Look at me." He commanded in a voice lower than you've ever heard him use. "I said, look at me." Sebastian grabbed your chin, twisting it upwards so you were staring right into his eyes. Your knees were weak; your breath heavy. You could have died happy, standing there inches apart from the man you loved. ⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼⇼ Returning to Hogwarts for your seventh year, you fall into a difficult situation when Imelda spikes your drink with a lust potion. Having to come to terms with your true feelings is difficult, but it's much harder when you find out your best friend and boy that you've been crushing on for years, Sebastian Sallow, has also consumed the potion. Basically a very long, drawn out smutty one shot between you and Sebastian with a LOT of angst. All characters aged up! Note: I avoided using Y/N in this story since I think it flows better. Warnings: Smut, cursing, consensual roughhousing, technically non-con themes with Imelda spiking your drink.

Atley Barlowe is a budding new witch who also carries the world on her shoulders as she travels the road less traveled to unlock the secrets of her connection to ancient magic. Will the burdens of their lives, minds and souls prove to be too much or can they save each other?

Slow burn romance but will slowly become a deep and dark fic filled with heart swelling fluff, chaos, angst, magic, dark magic, romance, friendship, family, twists, turns and all sorts of soul crushing. This will be a LONG fic in order to keep the entirety of the story together - but for new or slow readers - do not worry, chapters are fast paced and kept at a manageable length.
