England, 1899.
It had been six years since Eloise had last set foot in Hogwarts, something she hadn't planned to do again- but with new threats on the horizon and someone greedy for her power, she finds herself forced to revisit the old castle.
Tormented by Ancient Magic, ever a curse to her existence, it's her task to fight a new battle and uncover long hidden secrets in the process.
Sebastian and Eloise drifted apart in their sixth year, when she was no longer able to keep him from pursuing the Dark Arts and the cure he so desperately seeks. Betrayed and bitter, she wants nothing to do with him once their paths cross again-but with danger and a darkness of her own looming over her head, she might have to get used to having him around again.

To Be Seen, To Be Loved
"Do you think this is easy for me?" My eyes fluttered closed, lips parting as a shiver ran through me. "You tease me every day," he murmured, his voice low and rough. "Your sighs. Your laugh. Your touch. Fuck... even your scent." ***** A southern belle raised on her family's sprawling plantation, Charlotte knows her place in high society: marry well, produce pure-blood heirs, and maintain the perfect image of propriety. But Charlotte wants more than a life defined by ballrooms and expectations. When her father sends her to Hogwarts - following her twin brother's path - he hopes she'll secure a promising match. What he doesn't expect is the awakening of her rare, ancient magic... or the dangerous path it carves for her. Far from the safety of Greengrass Manor, Charlotte is thrust into a world of power, curses, and dark family secrets. Between whispered prophecies, bloodline rivalries, and her own growing abilities, she must decide if she's strong enough to break the chains of her legacy. But Hogwarts offers more than danger. It offers freedom. It offers friendship. And it offers a chance at a love that could change everything. Will Charlotte find the adventure she's always longed for - or lose herself in the very world she's been taught to embrace? (I do not own any of the original Hogwarts Legacy characters - only Charlotte and her family are my creation.)
In the Shadow of the Past
In their sixth year at Hogwarts, a shadow hangs over the corridors-because Ginevra Wood (Own Character) and Sebastian Sallow are haunted by their past at every turn. What began as a fragile friendship turns into a battle against guilt, old scars, and new secrets. While the darkness of past decisions weighs heavily on Sebastian's heart, hope grows between classes, secret meetings of the Crossed Wands, and the search for a cure for Anne, hope that no one dares to admit. But nothing is forgotten at Hogwarts-and it takes more than courage to survive in the shadow of the past. Who dares to look behind the masks? Who shines when secrets threaten to absorb everything? Discover how much light is hidden in the shadows of the past-and whether loyalty brings hope or destroys everything. Note: This is a translation, to the best of my knowledge and belief, of my fan fiction, which I write in German. I would be very grateful for any suggestions for improvement regarding the language (or ideas for the storyline)!

Allurement | Sebastian Sallow
The year is 1892. 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.

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