Set in the world of Hogwarts Legacy, Year 5
Juliet had never expected her fifth year at Hogwarts to begin with whispers of ancient magic or clandestine duels in shadowed ruins-but it wasn't the unknown spells or lost vaults that unsettled her most. It was the way Sebastian Sallow looked at her when he thought she wasn't paying attention.
He had always been charming-too clever for his own good, fiercely loyal to those he loved, and driven by a desperation that made his eyes burn brighter than any Lumos spell. But this year was different. This year, their friendship teetered on something fragile and unspoken.
By day, they buried themselves in dusty tomes within the undercroft, studying relics and unraveling secrets left untouched for centuries. By night, their hands brushed in passing-too often to be accidental. The library became their sanctuary, their shared parchment littered with notes in overlapping handwriting, their arguments over magical theory as passionate as any duel.
But as the secrets of ancient magic pull them deeper into danger, Juliet is forced to choose: stop and protect the boy who has slowly captured her heart or join him on his road to vengeance.
