Ten years after I began at Hogwarts, Sebastian Sallow is back. And he's Professor Sallow now. He disappeared after the fall of Ranrok and Rookwood, after I lost Professor Fig, and after Ominis and I couldn't keep him from losing himself. But I never forgot him. As students his darkness kept us apart, and as adults his quest to make amends took him around the world and off the radar while my career with the Ministry kept me close to home. With the unexpected opportunity to reconnect, a wildfire of emotions threatens to bring us close once more. And a mysterious, imminent threat from another land threatens to keep us apart...forever. A story about love, loss, and redemption. CH. 1 Snippet: "I can hear Sebastian's breath grow shallow as he grabs ahold of one of my wrists tightly and I notice a familiar shift that brings a strange glisten to his eye and dark shadow to his brow. I've know that look from before, long ago, in the catacombs and the undercroft. But here it has an intensity that I've never seen. He is voracious and wild --primal, even. Like an old familiar melody, I can almost hear the subtlety of his metered self control that prevents him from becoming completely unhinged. And, oh my god, the realization of how badly he wants me nearly send me off." ---- WARNING: NSFW, Mature | Hogwarts Legacy Fan-fiction | Romance | Contains Hogwarts Legacy Spoilers | F Gryffindor OC / Sebastian Sallow. | M OC / Ominis Gaunt | Steamy Start, Slow Burn
