Melinoë Black isn't your typical Slytherin. She's a brilliant manipulator with a mysterious past and an even darker future in her sights. Arriving for her fifth year, she's not looking for true friends or redemption; her sole aim is power, and she'll get it at any cost. What she doesn't expect is for her icy heart to thaw for him, Sebastian Sallow: charming, dangerous, and as damned as she is. Amidst forbidden spells, ghosts of the past, and brutal cruelties, Melinoë and Sebastian will descend into an abyss of dark magic and power games. With Ranrok's rise and the threat of Ancient Magic looming, the line between good and evil blurs. Will Melinoë and Sebastian fight to defend the Wizarding World, or will they surrender to the dark side? - From the Italian author of "Il lato oscuro | Sebastian Sallow" (10k visuals) and "ParselLove | Ominis Gaunt" (5k). - Please note: This story only partially follows Hogwarts Legacy, so playing the game is not necessary.

"I would destroy myself a thousand times if it meant you'd look at me like you used to." Sebastian Sallow was supposed to be the one person she could trust. He promised her-no dark magic. No crossing lines. He lied. He cast Crucio on her in the depths of the Scriptorium, whispering apologies even as she screamed. Now, in their sixth year, Ila is barely holding herself together. And Sebastian is still there-in the halls, in her dreams, in the spaces between guilt and longing. Some promises poison the mind. Some touches leave marks deeper than curses. She knows better than to want him again. But want was never the problem. (What think should of happened after the scriptorium quest) (mature content 🌶️)
