Elaris Evans spent the entire fifth year saving the wizarding world. She quickly became the hero of Hogwarts and was admired by nearly everyone. Everyone except one person. Sebastian Sallow.

Sebastian and the new girl came to despise each other over time during the last school year, even after being forced together so many times throughout fifth year. 

Now they are back for their sixth year of Hogwarts and still wrestling with their feelings of hatred towards one another. But as they are forced to be together throughout the year yet again, they find themselves questioning what other feelings lie beneath the hate.

Because this is an enemies to lovers trope, the details of the game had to be changed to benefit the story. Certain liberties were taken in order to make the story work. 

This story will contain mature content including alcohol use, break-ups, violence, and smut. There will be warnings in the chapters beforehand. Please read each warning carefully to make sure you are comfortable with proceeding through the chapter. 

I do have original characters in the story that are not in the game. The story will be a mixture of original and video game characters. 

I hope you enjoy!

39 parts Complete Mature
Sebastian Sallow, one of the most handsome, eligible bachelors at Hogwarts (and certified player, next to his bestie Ominis Gaunt), develops a crush on the popular new Fifth Year girl he befriends. But her attention is... elsewhere. His rizz is on fire, so why isn't she head over heels for him like the rest of the female population at school? Our MC (Juliet Brooks) becomes entangled in lust, drama, and danger soon after entering Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a new student. She had a pretty rough Fifth Year, dealing with fuckbois and ancient magic, so when she returns for her Sixth Year, she is a moody bitch. But Sebastian still wants her... all of her. What does it take for him to finally ask her out? Based on a combo of plots and scenes from classic teen movies and romcoms (including some of the sassy dialogue), this story has humor, fluff, explicit smut, ghost sex, friends to lovers trope, and all the usual co-ed boarding school angst. *** "It sounds like we share some similar traits when it comes to handling women..." Ominis smirked. "But classic Sebastian, he is far less patient than I am. He wouldn't allow you to get away with your bratty behaviour, Jules," his voice dropped low. "Oh, he'd punish you for that, darling. But trust me, you'd LIKE it." I felt like I'd been shocked with a cow prod, tingles coursed throughout my body, pooling between my legs. I walked away from Ominis, a little stunned, as I returned to the Potions station with a jar of tar in my hands. "Ah, good job," Sebastian smiled at me encouragingly, his praise almost making me choke. *** Sebastian Sallow fan fiction [Hogwarts Legacy] Hogwarts Legacy spoilers within!

The year is 1890. Liya Chang, a Slytherin student in Hogwarts, possesses a rare ability to harness ancient magic. Yet, as the powerful force surges within her, she realises that this power is a double edged sword - she must quickly learn to control it, before it controls her. On the other side of the spectrum, Sebastian Sallow will do whatever it takes to find a cure for his sister, Anne, who was brutally cursed - even if that meant meddling in the dark arts. An unlikely friendship was forged between two fierce academic rivals. Liya and Sebastian, like two moths drawn to the flame, find themselves navigating a dangerous path together. Can they defeat the adversaries that lie in their way, or will they succumb to the magic they failed to control? Surely they should know that power corrupts... Power absolutely corrupts.

Colette Labelle never expected her life at Hogwarts to be anything more than classes, Quidditch, and maybe a little trouble along the way. Instead, she's caught in the middle of ancient magic, dark family secrets, and feelings she definitely didn't ask for-especially when it comes to Sebastian Sallow, her infuriatingly charming best friend who has a knack for making everything more complicated. Their friendship? Messy. Their families? Even worse. Both are tangled in the aftermath of abusive homes, haunted by the ghosts of their pasts, and constantly dancing on the edge of something more than friendship. But it's not just teenage angst and unresolved tension that's out to ruin them. There's a harsh, undeniable truth: ancient magic can't simply be passed down-it's either rarely inherited or stolen by killing the person who wields it. And guess who just happens to be the lucky girl with a target on her back? Colette. From her first year at Hogwarts to her last, Colette is hunted, tested, and forced to confront not just the people who want her dead, but the terrifying realization that the one thing holding her together-her connection to Sebastian-is the very thing she's most afraid to lose. So, how far will she go to keep her magic and her life? And how far will Sebastian go to protect her, even if it means losing himself along the way? But maybe, along the way, they can finally find the light to their shadows.
