/Going through hefty editing. Finished CH 1-7 so far/ Returning for her sixth year at Hogwarts, Lilith Natrix Voidcroft faces the challenges of growing up, where friendships begin to deepen into something more complex. As she navigates these shifting dynamics, she's caught in a whirlwind of conflicting emotions-guilt, rage, lust, and a lingering sense of obligation. Torn between the dark allure of Sebastian Sallow and the safer path of simple morality, Lilith's journey through this pivotal year will reveal both the brightest and darkest facets of her soul. Each moment feels familiar, yet tinged with a new intensity, leaving her to question: Can Sebastian truly keep his vow to stay away from the Dark Arts? And is Lilith destined to be a beacon of light, or will she be consumed by an eternal eclipse? 𖤓 Back at Hogwarts, both the MC and Sebastian wrestle with their tangled emotions for one another, each opting for a seemingly safer path-MC with the adventurous Gryffindor Garreth Weasley, and Sebastian with the spontaneous Hufflepuff Charlotte Morrison. Yet, despite these choices, they find themselves irresistibly drawn to one another, captivated by a connection that teeters between agony and ecstasy. As a new year dawns at Hogwarts, they discover that the lengths we go to for love remain as timeless and unchanging as the castle's ancient walls. 𖤓 "My aim was to craft a story where the MC and Sebastian share an intense chemistry, a volatile mix of love and hate that blurs into one another, evolving into a deep-seated addiction. Their connection is as much about passion as it is about pain, with each emotion feeding the other in a way that neither can resist." 𖤓 Cute slow burn young love, with added dark forbidden elements.

Elizabeth Harries just turned 22, and she's unhappy with her life. The power of ancient magic escapes her control, forcing her to figure that the only solution is to lead an anonymous life, off the radar of the Ministry of Magic. Her companions have found their way, their personal success, while she struggles to hide the gift she has received but never wanted for herself, and works at a well known bookshop in Diagon Alley. It's only when on Halloween night, 1896, she encounters Sebastian Sallow after six years, that something awakens in her: the awareness of her own power, her dormient Slytherin ambition, the desire for redemption and knowledge, but mostly for control over her own life, her own destiny and her powers. ----------- Hello everyone 🤍 The Aftermath is a Sebastian Sallow x MC ff which takes place in 1896, six years after the events which took place in Hogwarts Legacy. The fiction deals with themes such as love, loss, grief, identity, mental issues. TW will be placed before any chapter that could in any way make the reader uncomfortable. This fiction is also for a mature audience: every chapter involving +18 content will be signaled beforehand. I do not own all the characters from Hogwarts Legacy; I do own Elizabeth Harries (my MC). Just know I'm not an English native speaker, so I ask for your forgiveness in advance if I ever make mistakes (I'm trying my best I swear!!!). - Lizzie
