[COMPLETED] Some witches are born to cast spells. She was forged to survive them. When fifth-year Elaine Aryndell arrives at Hogwarts, she carries more than scars - she carries ancient magic she was never meant to wield. Trained to fight without spells and haunted by her past, Elaine is thrust into a growing war against goblins, poachers, and power long buried beneath the castle. As her bond with Sebastian Sallow deepens, so does the danger, within and without. With Hogwarts at risk and her soul unraveling, Elaine must decide: will she be the weapon everyone fears, or the witch who breaks the cycle? ༓☾༓༒༓☽༓ This is my take on the Hogwarts Legacy story, with lots of classroom banter and bonding between the students. Since we've all played the game and know what happens during the trials, the overall story will be shortened, merged, or even skipped. The focus here is more on character interactions and later what happens after the goblin attack. If you're coming from The Heart of The Well and don't want to go through everything I'd suggest you start with the Chapter 37: It Feels Like Dying (this is where the split happens)

SLOOOOOOW BURN 🔥 Just a heads up 👍 Shifting wasn't supposed to be real. And yet - here I am. At Hogwarts. Face to face with him. Qynna Veilinharv was just another obsessed gamer. She knew every spell combo, every Sebastian Sallow line, and every bad decision he made in Hogwarts Legacy. She watched his story crumble again and again. Until it hurt too much to keep watching. So she did something reckless. Something impossible. She shifted. Now? She's a fifth-year student at Hogwarts. With no wand skills, no magical training, and an absolutely catastrophic crush on the boy she tried to save. Sebastian Sallow. The reason she's here - is darker, messier, and far more real than she ever imagined. He's not a romance option anymore. He's just a boy... with too many secrets. Fixing his story was supposed to be simple. But surviving in this world? Not so much. Goblins. Trolls. Dueling clubs. A castle full of students she has to fool into thinking she belongs. And a boy who's already breaking. If she's not careful, he'll take her down with him. Sebastian x OC (but feel free to replace "Qynna" and "Veilinharv" with your own name. We're all delulu here.) ⚠ Content Warnings: Includes themes of death, mental health struggles (depression, PTSD, anxiety), violence, terminal illness, injury, trauma, light intimacy, dark magic, strong language, and emotional whiplash. Spoilers for Hogwarts Legacy throughout. Canon game scenes appear with dialogue/setting references, expanded and reimagined with original material. Author's Note: This fic is written like a shifting script with teeth. It's messy. It's heartfelt. It's funny in a "laugh so you don't cry" way. Comments are more than welcome. I'd be glad if you do. Thank you for reading. - misspurrple 💜

After spending a quiet summer in Hogsmeade, trying to outrun the shadows of the past, you return to Hogwarts excited (and slightly apprehensive) for your sixth year.
