Hogwarts Legacy Fanfiction (post game-events).
6h year, characters are aged up to 18+, multiple POVs
 ***
The battle at Hogwarts was just the beginning. With ancient magic coursing through her veins, Adeen Oakley faces a world that hungers for her power. But when a peculiar Auror arrives at Hogwarts to investigate a shocking murder, the lines between ally and enemy blur.

Adeen becomes the centerpiece of a game played by a mastermind, who seeks to exploit her magic and manipulate the lives of those closest to her. For Sebastian, the weight of guilt and love forces him into impossible choices, while Ominis fights to protect his friends, even as he's pulled into his family's dark legacy.

With love threatened by lies, and magic twisted into power's cruelest weapon, the trio must confront enemies within and without.

As secrets from their pasts collide and their deepest fears come to life, can Adeen and her friends resist the pull of the darkness threatening to consume them? Or will their bonds shatter under the weight of betrayal?

60 parts Complete Mature
[{COMPLETED}] **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. (Cross Posted to Ao3) (Hogwarts Legacy does not belong to me, only the OCs and plot.)
