Memories of her first year at Hogwarts followed her like a shadow - everything she knew, everything she loved,  was covered by a shroud that only served to remind her of days past, when she thought that she had finally found purpose in a world full of magic and wonder.

Now, months later, Cordelia has begun her her second year at Hogwarts, where she's struggling to juggle an average life as a young lady on the edge of seventeen. Between her barely-passing marks, her innate ability to get into sticky situations, her wavering mental state, AND navigating through her ever-growing relationships, she finds herself facing new troubles -  but this time, she isn't alone.

The Light to Your Shadows | Sebastian Sallow  by kelseyreads22
1 part Ongoing Mature
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.

Sebastiansallow x MC After the events of Hogwarts Legacy, Vanity Steel thought life at Hogwarts might finally settle into something resembling normalcy. But as her sixth year begins, it becomes clear that some things-like the undeniable pull between her and Sebastian Sallow-are far from over. Having made the fateful choice to keep him at Hogwarts instead of turning him over to Azkaban, Vanity hoped they could rebuild their friendship. Instead, Sebastian has been distant, haunted by guilt and secrets, while Vanity is left to wonder if she did the right thing. A summer apart only deepens the tension between them. This is the untold story of what happens after the dust settles-a journey of raw emotion, fierce loyalty, and a love that refuses to be ignored. For anyone who ever wondered, "What comes next?" this is the answer. ---- "Alright, just take it easy," he said, resting a hand on her thigh without a second thought, a reassuring touch meant to ground her. But for Vanity, the warmth of his hand on her leg was electric. Her eyes were drawn to it, her mind racing with thoughts she couldn't stop, thoughts she didn't dare say aloud. He must have noticed her staring, because he smirked, glancing at her. "What? My hand doesn't bite, I promise." She jolted, quickly looking away, feeling her cheeks burn as she forced herself to sit up straighter. "I-I wasn't staring, I was just... regaining my balance." He chuckled softly, but didn't press further. "How long was I out?" she asked, eager to change the subject, to distract herself from the awkward flurry of emotions swirling within her. "About ten minutes, maybe. Don't worry, no one thinks any less of you," he said with a playful smile. "Still," she murmured, feeling her pride wounded. "It's embarrassing. I've never lost a duel before." ---- This story includes 18+ content and NSFW scenes, uncluding breeding kink and hand fetishes. Because of that the characters are 18+. Cover Creds: Audra1890

/Going through hefty editing. Finished CH 1-7 so far/ Returning for her sixth year at Hogwarts, Lilith Natrix Voidcroft faces the challenges of growing up, where friendships begin to deepen into something more complex. As she navigates these shifting dynamics, she's caught in a whirlwind of conflicting emotions-guilt, rage, lust, and a lingering sense of obligation. Torn between the dark allure of Sebastian Sallow and the safer path of simple morality, Lilith's journey through this pivotal year will reveal both the brightest and darkest facets of her soul. Each moment feels familiar, yet tinged with a new intensity, leaving her to question: Can Sebastian truly keep his vow to stay away from the Dark Arts? And is Lilith destined to be a beacon of light, or will she be consumed by an eternal eclipse? 𖤓 Back at Hogwarts, both the MC and Sebastian wrestle with their tangled emotions for one another, each opting for a seemingly safer path-MC with the adventurous Gryffindor Garreth Weasley, and Sebastian with the spontaneous Hufflepuff Charlotte Morrison. Yet, despite these choices, they find themselves irresistibly drawn to one another, captivated by a connection that teeters between agony and ecstasy. As a new year dawns at Hogwarts, they discover that the lengths we go to for love remain as timeless and unchanging as the castle's ancient walls. 𖤓 "My aim was to craft a story where the MC and Sebastian share an intense chemistry, a volatile mix of love and hate that blurs into one another, evolving into a deep-seated addiction. Their connection is as much about passion as it is about pain, with each emotion feeding the other in a way that neither can resist." 𖤓 Cute slow burn young love, with added dark forbidden elements.
