Pyrrhic Victory // Sebastian Sallow

MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR THE WHOLE OF HOGWARTS LEGACY FROM THE START

Liana had survived the assault on the final repository - just. Everything else in her life was totally destroyed.

It was a pyrrhic victory - so many of her professors - gone; so much of the school - fallen; so many she loved - dead.

The only father figure she had ever known, Professor Fig, had died saving Liana from Ranrok; Lodgok, a goblin who Liana owed everything to, dead; the only friends she ever knew - captured, taken away from her, or dead. She refused to let things end like this - how could they?

So, Liana made herself a vow - she would use this ancient magic, in a way no-one had anticipated; she would restart... everything. From the very moment she entered the grounds of Hogwarts. It was dangerous, unbelievably so - people seldom traveled through time, and restarting a whole timeline was unheard of; even for the Keepers.

She would save Lodgok; she would save Eleazar Fig; she would save Matilda Weasley; she would save Natsai Onai, she would save Poppy Sweeting; she would save Ominis Gaunt; she would save Sebastian Sallow.

She knew not how going back in time like this would affect her - would she even remember any of this? Would she even be able to stop it? She didn't care about that; she gave no thoughts to herself, and how it may affect her - the only true thing that mattered; was changing time, and fate itself.
