🎧Listen to the Audiobook on YouTube🎧 "Lose my sight?" I repeated, blinking. He nodded. "Just for a little while. It's the only way you'll be able to see things the way I do..." His thumb brushed the side of my wrist. "It's... different. All your other senses will take over." "You're the first one I've shown" is what Ominis said to Nina after inviting her into his world. And "Don't tell Sebastian." 👉 This is a soft divergence AU of Hogwarts Legacy, where the world is a little kinder, and hearts get to heal instead of break. In this version of the story, Anne Sallow is alive and well, Sebastian hasn't gone down a dark path (yet?), and our protagonist, Nina, is a transfer student from Beauxbatons learning to navigate Hogwarts, Slytherin House, and one particularly guarded, sharp-tongued boy with clouded eyes and a complicated past. You won't find relics or grand lore here - but you will find slow-burn friendships, awkward teenage crushes, stolen glances, cozy common rooms, quiet grief, and maybe... a little more. 📌 Canon tweaks: Garreth replaces Leander in early scenes (because let's be real: who needs Leander). Henrietta is an original side character with big Hermione Granger energy. Think of her as a tiny wink to the larger HP universe. I also added other side characters here and there (for ex. an ancestor of the Malfoys) just for the flow. I know I did Imelda dirty here (I think she's great), but I needed someone to play the mean girl and she happily took the job. ☝️ Storyline-wise, this fic diverges early from the game and reimagines many events through a lighter, more character-driven lens. ⚠️ Trigger warning: there are no triggers. Unless you count excessive fluff, snarky banter, or slow emotional unraveling. Proceed with tea. This fanfic is safe-for-work and non-mature. No explicit content here - just plenty of emotional tension and heart-eyes. 🏳️‍🌈 Anne is queer in my lore. It's not the focus, but it's there. Softly

HOGWARTS LEGACY SPOILERS AHEAD!! Ominis x Reader fanfiction is based in their seventh year. All characters have been aged up to 18 years of age where explicit content is involved. Written from the perspective of fem Slytherin y/n. ---------- Sebastian has been sent to Azkaban. Of course, Ominis blames you--it's only natural after everything that happened in your fifth year. For the entirety of your sixth year, Sebastian was at Azkaban. While Ominis understood that it was a necessary action to take considering what Sebastian did, he didn't forget that you encouraged it, or that you partook in the dark arts yourself. It was against everything he stood for. He warned you every step of the way, and neither you nor Sebastian listened to his warnings. By a stroke of luck, the ministry has decided to give Sebastian a second chance. He gets to come back to Hogwarts for his seventh year of schooling. Ominis is still Sebastian's friend, but he wants to keep you away from him at all costs. He hates you for what you did to his best friend. On a happy note, St. Mungos finally found a cure for Anne Sallow's curse, and she's back at Hogwarts for her seventh year as well. Your friendship with her blossoms, and makes it even harder for Ominis to stay away from you. Even though he hates you, he can't deny the attraction between the two of you. Everything changed one night at a party in the Slytherin common room when you two come in close contact. But can he fight his feelings and stay away from you? ---------- TRIGGER WARNINGS: Sexual Content: 5/10 Mental Illnesses: 7/10 Violence: 3/10 Self Harm: 6/10
