A new student, happening to be a 5th year? This was rare to exchange from one school to another - and secrets were held within her aura. What could've possibly caused her to switch? And they all felt it - they knew there was something dark lying behind the soft surface of her green eyes. Some knew she was more powerful than she looked - and yet, she wasn't that very well known. Some wanted her company for their own purposes. Some just wanted to be around her. Some envied her, some adored her. So... Ines, what is so special about you? ___________ There are some changes (like Quidditch) and some exact similarities from the game Hogwarts Legacy - I do NOT own the characters except for Ines and other side characters that don't sound familiar, like Peyton Hatfield or Caden Howell. Characters' (like Sebastian) attitude and personality will have changes And the plot and MC's magic will have significant differences as well ___________ The cover looked better in my mind I promise 🙏 i love putting a lot of pinterest-y pics on covers despite the fact that it looks like a 13 year old made it

Sebastian Sallow is a tortured soul with the world on his shoulders whose only mission is to save his sister Anne - at any cost. 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? Sebastian Sallow x Fem!oc (but please feel free to replace "Atley" with your oc's name and "Barlowe" with your oc's last name in your mind if you'd prefer to read it that way.) 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.
