Shifting wasn't supposed to be real.
And yet - here I am.
At Hogwarts.
Face to face with him.
Qynna Veilinharv was just another obsessed gamer. She knew every spell combo, every Sebastian Sallow line, and every bad decision he made in Hogwarts Legacy. She watched his story crumble again and again. Until it hurt too much to keep watching.
So she did something reckless.
Something impossible.
She shifted.
Now? She's a fifth-year student at Hogwarts. With no wand skills, no magical training, and an absolutely catastrophic crush on the boy she tried to save.
Sebastian Sallow. The reason she's here - is darker, messier, and far more real than she ever imagined. He's not a romance option anymore. He's just a boy... with too many secrets.
Fixing his story was supposed to be simple.
But surviving in this world?
Not so much.
Goblins. Trolls. Dueling clubs.
A castle full of students she has to fool into thinking she belongs.
And a boy who's already breaking.
If she's not careful, he'll take her down with him.
Sebastian x OC (but feel free to replace "Qynna" and "Veilinharv" with your own name. We're all delulu here.)

Author's Note:
This fic is written like a shifting script with teeth. It's messy. It's heartfelt. It's funny in a "laugh so you don't cry" way.
Comments are more than welcome. I'd be glad if you do.
Thank you for reading.
