Green Carnation

A twist in hearts, a turn of fates, a tortured soul, an ache too late.

During Sebastian Sallow's seventh year, the Triwizard Tournament revival is announced one hundred years after its abandonment and Hogwarts is to host. Shortly after the declaration, Anne Sallow succumbs to her curse and Sebastian's world is torn apart. Heartbreak and guilt settled deep and shattering him to pieces, he is faced with the decision to crumble beneath the pressure or lean on the support of his closest friend and deepest connection, Ominis Gaunt - a thread of emotions, aches, pining and feelings he has yet to unburden. In a twist of fate, Sebastian is selected as the Hogwarts champion and tossed head first into a tournament that very well might kill him if his heart doesn't do it first.

Will the burden of hearts prove too heavy or can a broken one still survive?

Sebastian Sallow x Ominis Gaunt

AU: ancient magic events from HL video game never took place. Anne cursed later in life and thus Sebastian did not descend completely into the dark arts / catacomb events never took place.
