HUFFLE-DUFFLE-PUFFLE
Set during Sebastian Sallow's seventh year at Hogwarts, this fanfiction reimagines the canon events of Hogwarts Legacy through a more intimate, emotionally driven lens, with Elissa Beckham as the central protagonist.
Elissa and Sebastian have been inseparable since their fifth year-the year marked by troll attacks, forbidden magic, and choices that forever altered the course of their lives. Their friendship was forged in danger, loyalty, and shared secrets, growing stronger through every trial the castle and the wizarding world threw at them. But while time moved forward, Sebastian remained trapped in the weight of his past.
By seventh year, Sebastian is haunted by guilt:
the killing of his uncle,
his use of the Unforgivable Curses,
the emotional hurt he caused towards his bestfriend, Ominis,
the pain he caused Elissa when he cast Crucio on her,
and the unhealed suffering of his sister, Anne.
These memories have shaped him into a morally grey figure-brilliant, fiercely loyal, and deeply self-loathing. He believes himself unworthy of love, friendship, or redemption, convinced that pushing others away is the only way to protect them from the darkness he carries.
During a quiet weekend at Hogwarts, Sebastian is unable to handle the weight of his own guilt and so he retreats to the Undercroft where Elissa follows him. A lingering confession inevitably about to burst in the tense air between them.
