For the Love of a Slytherin
Hufflepuff reader, Adelaide Adonis has just started at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Little did she know, she would meet a student who would challenge her to the very core of her beliefs, and yet still make her fall in love with him along the way. Spoilers for the game. It's a telling of the players thoughts/feelings towards the different Sebastian scenarios throughout the game, along with slight changes to the storyline. I don't own anything. Thanks for reading :) Update: I added a new book titled 'For the love of Sebastian Sallow.' This will contain more romance since I will have more creative freedom without following the storyline of the game. It follows the same characters, and some of Adelaide's other friends, only two years later in their final year at Hogwarts.Complete
Bound to Her, Sworn to Him
He was meant to hunt her. Instead, he burned for her. In a kingdom where witches are branded heretics and hunted like beasts, she survives alone in the cursed Forbidden Forest. Powerful, feared, and unbroken. They call her wicked. They call her wild. They never see the truth. Sebastian Sallow is the King's most loyal knight-his first hand, his sharpest sword. Until he's sent to find her. But the witch he's meant to kill is nothing like the stories. And the man she meets is nothing like the monster she was taught to run from. Beneath the moonlight, loyalty falters. In the shadows, desire grows. And as war brews between crown and coven, a single truth becomes clear: Some hearts were never meant to be saved. Only ruined. This is a dark romantic fantasy set in an alternate universe of Hogwarts Legacy, featuring mature themes, forbidden love, morally gray choices, and a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers spiral between a witch and the knight sent to kill her. ⚠️ Content includes fantasy violence, sensual themes, emotional tension, future smut, possible love triangles and morally gray characters. Reader discretion advised.
Shadows of Serpent | Sebastian Sallow x OC
Years after the war, Hogwarts stands tall once more - rebuilt, reimagined... and dripping with secrets. Aurora Nyx never thought she'd return. Not after everything. Not after him. But when she's offered a position as the new Potions professor, she reluctantly says yes - ready to face old ghosts, but not him. Not Sebastian Sallow. Now a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Sebastian is older, inked, and just as reckless. And neither of them has forgotten what happened all those years ago - the blood, the betrayal. Their past is violent. Their chemistry is worse. She wants to avoid him. He wants to provoke her. And Hogwarts? It's not prepared for what happens when you trap two ticking time bombs in the same castle. NSFW content, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers, ancient magic, emotional damage, and very little classroom professionalism. They're in their late twenties now. And Hogwarts has never been so scandalous. This story is the perfect mixture of HP x HL. Enjoy!
