Rank & Ruin | A Hogwarts Legacy AU Romance

Nothing about a magical war is simple - and love might just be the worst idea of all. In the middle of chaos, death, and destruction, falling for someone is reckless, dangerous, and the fastest way to get hurt. Especially if you're Sebastian Sallow: curse-breaker, combat veteran, former Azkaban convict... and a celibate priest.

But American witch Thalia Baughmann - fierce, stubborn, and brimming with Ancient Magic she barely understands - has always been a temptation Sebastian can't shake. Years ago, early in the war, they were stationed together. For a little while, they had something real - brief, intense, unfinished. And then she saved his life.

Now he owes her a debt he can never repay. And she's still carrying his heart, whether she knows it or not.

She's a combat witch who keeps others safe from magic gone wild. He's both a wizard and a priest, who sees too much and feels even more. Their bond is forbidden, tangled in old wounds, unspoken history, and the kind of trust you don't get twice. But fate, war, and something deeper keeps pulling them back together - and it's only a matter of time before the heart decides the battle for them.
