Relinquishment

There are consequences to absorbing dark ancient magic. The Ministry could not allow a young witch with an entire repository's worth of power run around freely. Helena Bryce is hauled off to a trial before the Wizengamot, and is subsequently expelled from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. With limited options available to her, she makes the difficult decision to join the Auror program and live as a weapon.

To protect Sebastian and Ominis...to ensure the secret of catacombs stay a secret...she cuts them off. So why is the Ministry investigating the death of Solomon Sallow two years later? And what can she do from her position on the force to shield Sebastian from Azkaban, all while keeping her feelings for him hidden?

A direct continuation after the events of Hogwarts Legacy, no re-hashing of the game.
