" '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.

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
