**PLEASE SEE LIST OF WARNINGS AND TRIGGERS BEFORE READING**

It's been three years since Ominis and I made the choice for Sebastian - to send him away.
The consequences of our actions have the shadows talking back. 

Their voices are lovely, alluring, and most of all sinful. 

With their wicked tongues, they offer a temptation I may not be able to refuse.

I can't help but wonder if we made the wrong choice.

***
This is a dark enemies to enemy/lovers romance for Sebastian Sallow, and my OC Hyacinth "Hattie" Hills that takes place during her last year at Hogwarts. She is still in the throws of recovering from her first year, heavily stricken with the grief and trauma it caused her. Now that she's begun to heal, there's a shadow stalking the grounds that threatens to undo all of that progress. 

All participating characters are 18+, as this is set a bit in the future and with an added year at Hogwarts. This work contains many dark themes and triggers. There is some Ominis/OC but this is not for the Ominis girlies, unless you want to see him hurt. This fic is heavily inspired by Zade Meadows, and a thirst for the darkness.

TW: Stalking, Obsession, CNC, Death, Trauma, Knife Play,  Blood Play, Edging, Cuckhold, Orgasm Denial, Mirror Play, Spit Play, Heavy S&M, Face Fucking, Verbal Humiliation, Primal Play, Breeding Kink, Degradation, Sebastian is Cruel, We are going to traumatize Ominis Gaunt, ect....and will add others down the road, it's a lot to tag. You can find a full list of tags/warnings on the Ao3 copy of this fic and I will be adding warnings to every chapter that involve heavier themes. 

Each chapter title is based off of songs that inspired them, creating its own ballad - there is a link in the intro/warning chapter.

51 parts Complete Mature
HOGWARTS LEGACY SPOILERS AHEAD!! Ominis x Reader fanfiction is based in their seventh year. All characters have been aged up to 18 years of age where explicit content is involved. Written from the perspective of fem Slytherin y/n. ---------- Sebastian has been sent to Azkaban. Of course, Ominis blames you--it's only natural after everything that happened in your fifth year. For the entirety of your sixth year, Sebastian was at Azkaban. While Ominis understood that it was a necessary action to take considering what Sebastian did, he didn't forget that you encouraged it, or that you partook in the dark arts yourself. It was against everything he stood for. He warned you every step of the way, and neither you nor Sebastian listened to his warnings. By a stroke of luck, the ministry has decided to give Sebastian a second chance. He gets to come back to Hogwarts for his seventh year of schooling. Ominis is still Sebastian's friend, but he wants to keep you away from him at all costs. He hates you for what you did to his best friend. On a happy note, St. Mungos finally found a cure for Anne Sallow's curse, and she's back at Hogwarts for her seventh year as well. Your friendship with her blossoms, and makes it even harder for Ominis to stay away from you. Even though he hates you, he can't deny the attraction between the two of you. Everything changed one night at a party in the Slytherin common room when you two come in close contact. But can he fight his feelings and stay away from you? ---------- TRIGGER WARNINGS: Sexual Content: 5/10 Mental Illnesses: 7/10 Violence: 3/10 Self Harm: 6/10
Entangled || Sebastian Sallow by StarryEyesJewel
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! Everyone is aged up 18+ throughout this fanfic. Mature audience only, please! It gets very spicy!
Legacy Disowned - Book 2 by toonedupfiction
23 parts Ongoing Mature
Going into their 6th year at Hogwarts, Maggie Darling, Ominis Gaunt and Sebastian Sallow are hard at work trying do the right thing. They have been searching tirelessly for a way to cure Anne of her curse and find a way to deal with the repository once and for all. These tasks prove more difficult than anticipated forever and ghosts from the past come back to make their missions even more complicated. *** This second book takes place after the events of Hogwarts Legacy, following the story of an original protagonist, the young Miss Darling. We are now in uncharted territory of the story. This is a transformative work based on the Harry Potter franchise by J.K. Rowling and Portkey Games Hogwarts Legacy. Consider this an expansion and a fresh look at the game through an original lense presented in a literary format. *** What to Expect: I highly suggest reading book 1 first. I have left lots of hints and clues to the bigger picture for the series so if you just dive in to two you might be totally lost. Miss Darling comes from an upbringing that makes her a far cry from your typical Hogwarts student. She is very much an anti hero who engages in a lot of questionable behavior but strives to at least try to be a decent person. It is a rotating third person perspective where we will see things through the eyes of many different characters. The story primarily focusses on the Slytherin trio of Darling, Sebastian and Ominis. This is rated mature for violence. While there are some crushes confused and slow burning relationships typical for adolescence our protagonists have quite a bit on their plate so this is first and foremost and action adventure. There will be no nsfw.

Most students are thrilled to start their magical education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry but the resourceful and enigmatic Miss Darling is not. When the Ministry decided her fate was to attend school as a 5th year she planned to soak up just enough skills to survive and return to the clandestine world she knows. Unfortunately her path to ultimate freedom and autonomy seems to run into endless obstacles of ancient magic secrets, unwanted responsibility and, most vexing of all, people she actually kinda likes. *** Book I of this fanfiction takes place during the events of Hogwarts Legacy, following the story of an original protagonist, the young Miss Darling. Much has been added and changed to tell the story of this character. Some of the events follow the game closely while others deviate significantly and some events have been added entirely. It is a new take and sets the stage for two following books that are already in the works. This is a transformative work based on the Harry Potter franchise by J.K. Rowling and Portkey Games Hogwarts Legacy. Consider this first book a fresh look at the game through an original lense presented in a literary format. The two books we have in the works following this one will be uncharted territory. *** What to Expect: Miss Darling comes from a mysterious but clearly dubious upbringing that makes her a far cry from your typical Hogwarts student. She is very much an anti hero who engages in a lot of questionable behavior but strives to at least try to be a decent person. It is a rotating third person perspective where we will see things through the eyes of many different characters. The story primarily focusses on the Slytherin trio of Darling, Sebastian and Ominis. This is rated mature for violence. While there are some crushes confused and slow burning relationships typical for adolescence our protagonists have quite a bit on their plate so this is first and foremost and action adventure.

- A Hogwarts Legacy Fanfiction - A runespoor is a three-headed snake that stood six to seven feet long; each head served a different purpose: the left - the planner, deciding where to go and what to do, the middle - the dreamer, their mind always daydreaming and imagining things, and the right - the critic, judging both the left and middle heads in their actions and decisions. It won't live long without each other; they're stronger together. - Emelia and Ominis have grown much closer since their Fifth Year and are now halfway through their sixth and things have been in a few words: uneventful and quiet. They've been studying in preparation for their upcoming N.E.W.T.'s, facing vivid nightmares and recollections of the past, and of course, countless school dramas, but when Sebastian Sallow returns from where he can only describe is worse than Hell, it's anything but quiet. As the diamond trio slowly get reacquainted, they'll go on unexpected adventures, fight off against enemies: old and new, while feeling the pressures of their Sixth Year, each one of them having something to prove - both to themselves and to each other. In the process, they'll learn new things about each other that may either bring them closer together or tear them apart. Either way, their bonds are changing into something beyond just a simple relationship. ***Disclaimer: All characters in this are completely fictional - aged up; this is purely for entertaining purposes and what the writer thinks would've happened after Hogwarts Legacy.
