The Hollow Beneath Hogwarts
The Hollow Beneath Hogwarts
When the war ended, Hogwarts was supposed to be a place of healing.
Instead, it became a place haunted by grief.
Sloane Sage arrives at Hogwarts carrying scars no one can see. After losing her family in the war, she dedicates herself to helping others survive the darkness left behind. Gifted with rare healing magic and appointed as a student counsellor, Sloane quickly becomes the person students turn to in secret - for nightmares, panic attacks, grief, addiction, and the memories they cannot escape.
But something else is hiding inside the castle.
Buried beneath Hogwarts lies a forgotten network of abandoned corridors and lost classrooms untouched for centuries. When Sloane and Filch accidentally awaken an ancient entity deep below the school, a terrifying darkness begins to spread through the castle. The creature is no ordinary monster - it was once human. Once loved. Once soulbound to another.
Now twisted into a monstrous gargoyle after the brutal loss of its soulmate, the creature is determined to build an army powerful enough to ensure it never suffers alone again.
And it has chosen its victims carefully.
As students begin disappearing and the castle descends into fear, Sloane discovers an impossible truth: she and Draco Malfoy are soulmates, magically bound together by an ancient force neither of them understands. But their connection makes them targets. To claim Draco, Harry, and the others for itself, the creature first needs Sloane gone.
With darkness spreading beneath Hogwarts and the lines between monster and victim beginning to blur, Sloane must confront the grief she's spent years burying - before the castle, and everyone inside it, is consumed by the hollow beneath.
