''You seriously need to stop calling me your friend,'' Sebastian tells me in a low voice.

''Then what should I call you?'' I ask curiously. My stomach is fluttering like never before.

''I haven't quite figured it out just yet. But 'friend' is not it.'' He says as he squeezes my hand harder.

When the summer between Y/n's 5th and 6th year at Hogwarts, she cannot stop thinking about Sebastian Sallow, despite the horrible things he did last year. She knows that what happened should have been the end of their relationship, but for some reason she does not consider it to be over. In fact, Y/n is unsure of her feelings towards him. Something about him just makes her feel like home. 

During their 6th year their relationship develops further, while facing new obstacles. One night Y/n discovers something that could mean the end of the wizarding world that requires help of Sebastian as well as Ominis. 

This is a story about love, friendship, betrayal and sacrifices.

" 'Promise me,' I said, as I started to notice his body just inches away from mine. He frowned as he looked down on me. 'Promise you what, Ava?' That way of saying my name- again. My breath was shaky as I whispered, closer to hip lips. 'Promise you won't do it. Promise that you won't marry her.' He lent a bit more forward and I felt his also racing heart beat against my own chest. I couldn't bear having him so close, not being able to touch his lips with mine before he said the words. I could see in his milky eyes that his mind was getting more blank by the feeling of my fingers that had found his hair. 'Please,' I asked, and he took one, long breath. 'I promise, I will-' but that was all I needed before I pressed my eager lips against his, gripping his hair more tightly and pulling him closer than I ever had before." Ava Dijkstra is in her last year of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the year she must decide how she will fulfill the rest of her life; stay close to her muggle roots or choose another, magical path. As she find herself struggle with her closest friend Sebastian, because of their dark past together, there is also another feeling. A feeling toward the man she never even liked the slightest before. Ominis just seems to have his ways that might win her over. A story about troubled friendship, pureblood obsession, arranged marriage, a little smud and so much more plot twists to come. Enjoy! I do not own the characters from Hogwarts Legacy the game.

HOGWARTS LEGACY SPOILERS AHEAD!! Ominis x Reader fanfiction is based in their seventh year. All characters have been aged up to 18 years of age where explicit content is involved. Written from the perspective of fem Slytherin y/n. ---------- Sebastian has been sent to Azkaban. Of course, Ominis blames you--it's only natural after everything that happened in your fifth year. For the entirety of your sixth year, Sebastian was at Azkaban. While Ominis understood that it was a necessary action to take considering what Sebastian did, he didn't forget that you encouraged it, or that you partook in the dark arts yourself. It was against everything he stood for. He warned you every step of the way, and neither you nor Sebastian listened to his warnings. By a stroke of luck, the ministry has decided to give Sebastian a second chance. He gets to come back to Hogwarts for his seventh year of schooling. Ominis is still Sebastian's friend, but he wants to keep you away from him at all costs. He hates you for what you did to his best friend. On a happy note, St. Mungos finally found a cure for Anne Sallow's curse, and she's back at Hogwarts for her seventh year as well. Your friendship with her blossoms, and makes it even harder for Ominis to stay away from you. Even though he hates you, he can't deny the attraction between the two of you. Everything changed one night at a party in the Slytherin common room when you two come in close contact. But can he fight his feelings and stay away from you? ---------- TRIGGER WARNINGS: Sexual Content: 5/10 Mental Illnesses: 7/10 Violence: 3/10 Self Harm: 6/10

Return of Sebastian Sallow | 10 Yr After Hogwarts by JuneyMont
148 parts Ongoing Mature
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

From friends to lovers, against all the odds. Your magic woke up late for a reason. It was written in the stars for you to meet Sebastian Sallow. From "Your charm won't work on me, Sallow." to "How do you enjoy being Mrs. Sallow?" The delicious slow burn of falling for your best friend and ride or die. There is no way you would ever imagine your life changing from such a quiet pace of getting ready for the Courting season to fighting giant spiders, following a handsome freckled devil in disguise through the caves. And even more shocking that you actually liked it. As the ears go by and there is no other way to cure Anne apart from the relic you'd lost long ago, there is only one option left. Sebastian and you have to convince Ominis to bring Anne to a set meeting spot as you go on an adventure to find the magical bloom from the legends. But the timing is the key. One second away from too late. Female Slytherin reader/MC x Sebastian Sallow I take what the game gave us and make it into what we all wanted and were supposed to get. After the main plotline ends, I will be introducing my own continuation of the story to fix the cliffhanger we were left on, but dropping the hints about it already. I hope you all like emotional damage because I will deal a lot of it before healing our souls and hearts nicely. No names or appearance description, so you can imagine yourself or your OC being the main character. • I DO NOT OWN Harry Potter/Hogwarts Legacy. All rights go towards J.K. Rowling and WB games. This is simply a fanfic made just for fun. • Some dialogue might be changed/added. • There may be some spoilers so proceed with caution.

15 parts Ongoing Mature
Clara Elmore was fifteen when she saved the wizarding world. The Hero of Hogwarts they'd called her. But could she truly be called a hero if she was the villain in the stories of so many others? Was it truly victory if blood lingered under her fingernails from the mountain of corpses she'd crawled over to obtain it? Was it truly victory If Anne was still dying? If Ominis still lived under the shadow of his family? If Sebastian had vanished almost without a trace and left everything that had sparked between them behind? Two years later; dark forces begin to stir in the shadows, nightmares prove frighteningly real, and memories are not what they seem. Victory may not have been what she thought and The Repository may have only been the beginning. ******** * This writing thing? It's new. Very new and exciting and mostly scary. So I apologize in advance for the approximately 189030000 grammatical mistakes I'm sure will be found. ( We're all going to pretend not to notice them okay? Okay.)

39 parts Complete Mature
Sebastian Sallow, one of the most handsome, eligible bachelors at Hogwarts (and certified player, next to his bestie Ominis Gaunt), develops a crush on the popular new Fifth Year girl he befriends. But her attention is... elsewhere. His rizz is on fire, so why isn't she head over heels for him like the rest of the female population at school? Our MC (Juliet Brooks) becomes entangled in lust, drama, and danger soon after entering Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a new student. She had a pretty rough Fifth Year, dealing with fuckbois and ancient magic, so when she returns for her Sixth Year, she is a moody bitch. But Sebastian still wants her... all of her. What does it take for him to finally ask her out? Based on a combo of plots and scenes from classic teen movies and romcoms (including some of the sassy dialogue), this story has humor, fluff, explicit smut, ghost sex, friends to lovers trope, and all the usual co-ed boarding school angst. *** "It sounds like we share some similar traits when it comes to handling women..." Ominis smirked. "But classic Sebastian, he is far less patient than I am. He wouldn't allow you to get away with your bratty behaviour, Jules," his voice dropped low. "Oh, he'd punish you for that, darling. But trust me, you'd LIKE it." I felt like I'd been shocked with a cow prod, tingles coursed throughout my body, pooling between my legs. I walked away from Ominis, a little stunned, as I returned to the Potions station with a jar of tar in my hands. "Ah, good job," Sebastian smiled at me encouragingly, his praise almost making me choke. *** Sebastian Sallow fan fiction [Hogwarts Legacy] Hogwarts Legacy spoilers within! Everyone is aged up 18+ throughout this fanfic. Mature audience only, please! It gets very spicy!
