Melpomeni Asimi has spent the past four years believing herself to be a Squib. Having long since come to terms with the painful fact that she would never set foot in Hogwarts, her only plans for the future are to learn and practise medicine, following in her father's footsteps. Until one Summer, a Hogwarts Professor turns up at her family's house unannounced bearing an admittance letter with her name on it and begins teaching her magic--magic that she's suddenly able to cast, when up until then she had never exhibited so much as a HINT of magic. For two months, it seems as though her wildest dreams have suddenly come true...until she discovers that she possesses an ability to harness magic that's lain dormant for centuries, and promptly finds herself the quarry of both Ranrok--a dangerous goblin wielding powerful magic, and Victor Rookwood--one of the most dangerous criminals Britain has yet seen. With the help of Professor Fig, she embarks on a journey to discover the secret of why this magic has been hidden for so long, and keep it safe from Ranrok and Rookwood while somehow also keeping HERSELF safe...all while still attempting to squeeze five years' worth of a magical education into one.All Rights Reserved

In The Shadow Of His Love (Reader vs Sebastian Sallow) by Miya_dono

Riliegh Peverell begins as a fifth-year Ravenclaw at Hogwarts with a hazy memory of her past and a new identity as Riley Piper. Soon, she discovers there is more to her than a tale of an extraordinary muggle showing magic. With the help of her crush Sebastian and his friend Ominis, Riley starts uncovering her dark past and forming strong bonds, that go beyond friendship. But will Sebasatian's obsession with understanding dark magic ruin it all? Is what they have love or lust? Are the feelings real, or is he just using her for her powers? Will she side with him or her newly discovered cousin? And how will her family's connection to the Gaunts affect her future? The romance properly starts around Chapter 9 :) There is a bit of a slow burn until chapter 9, and then a bit of fluff and spice.

I screamed as I pointed my wand to her. She screamed out in pain and fell to the ground. I could hear Harry coming behind me. I glared at her as she whimpered on the ground, facing me.

I wanted to do it. I pointed my wand to her, "Avada-" {END}

Magicis Par // Sebastian Sallow by rXscarlet

Clara Selwyn knew she was different the moment her magic started showing. What she didn't anticipate was just how different she was nor the type of magic she held. Despite being trained by some of the best witches and wizards of the time, there was still much Clara needed to know and one person in all of the history books that may have the answers--Miriam Fig. With the aid of the Keepers, an old blueprint from the Restricted Section, and the Golden Trio, Clara found the ability to retreat through time. She intended to summon a portal to bring her to Miriam Fig, but she miscalculated. What she found was even more dire than she imagined. What's worse is that it wasn't in any of the history books. The very magic that coursed through her veins was at risk under a goblin rebellion that no one in her time had ever heard of. The only option was to enter the portal, retrieve as much ancient magic as she could to prevent the rebellion from gaining power, and return home before anyone found her out. Their plan was foolproof. It all became easier said than done the moment she met her counterpart. The perfect match to her magic. The person who set her soul on fire. Sebastian Sallow.

I think we should run away together" she finally responded, her eyes wide with shock. My head whipped up to look at her, "Run away? You want to run away? How Hermione? How do you plan on us running away? Wherever we go, our parents will find us. What exactly are you proposing?" I questioned her. She looked at me confidently, "I have a plan. It's going to involve lots of planning and waiting, possibly even lying, but it'll work, and we'll be free of both of our families! We can do this Draco. We can get away from it all" she responded excitedly. I waited for her to explain. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AU Dramione with no magic.
