Of Privileged Blood by Fallnangl1039

She's not supposed to be here-not this late, not this loud, and definitely not in Gryffindor. The Crouch family is ancient, noble, and obsessed with tradition. Emily? Not so much. She arrives at Hogwarts four years behind, cloaked in secrets and wielding a mysterious magic no one understands. From sneaking into the Forbidden Forest to chasing chaos with a more haunted Professor Fig, Emily is anything but a typical Crouch. She's a rule-breaker, a people-pleaser, and-worst of all-a Gryffindor. --- A Hogwarts Legacy retelling that deepens familiar characters, sharpens the stakes, and reimagines the story through the eyes of someone who was never supposed to be part of it.

Bound to Her, Sworn to Him by bellpeppersnbeef

He was meant to hunt her. Instead, he burned for her. In a kingdom where witches are branded heretics and hunted like beasts, she survives alone in the cursed forest-powerful, feared, and unbroken. They call her wicked. They call her wild. They never see the truth. Sebastian Sallow is the King's most loyal knight-his first hand, his sharpest sword. Until he's sent to find her. But the witch he's meant to kill is nothing like the stories. And the man she meets is nothing like the monster she was taught to run from. Beneath the moonlight, loyalty falters. In the shadows, desire grows. And as war brews between crown and coven, a single truth becomes clear: Some hearts were never meant to be saved. Only ruined. This is a dark romantic fantasy set in an alternate universe of Hogwarts Legacy, featuring mature themes, forbidden love, morally gray choices, and a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers spiral between a witch and the knight sent to kill her. ⚠️ Content includes fantasy violence, sensual themes, emotional tension, and morally gray characters.

But as her sixth year begins, it becomes clear that some things-like the undeniable pull between her and Sebastian Sallow-are far from over. Having made the choice to keep him at Hogwarts instead of turning him over to Azkaban, Vanity hoped they could rebuild their friendship. Instead, Sebastian has been distant, haunted by guilt and secrets, while Vanity is left to wonder if she did the right thing. This is the untold story of what happens after the dust settles-a journey of raw emotion, fierce loyalty, and a love that refuses to be ignored. For anyone who ever wondered, "What comes next?" this is the answer. ---- "Alright, just take it easy," he said, resting a hand on her thigh without a second thought, a reassuring touch meant to ground her. But for Vanity, the warmth of his hand on her leg was electric. Her eyes were drawn to it, her mind racing with thoughts she couldn't stop, thoughts she didn't dare say aloud. He must have noticed her staring, because he smirked, glancing at her. "What? My hand doesn't bite, I promise." She jolted, quickly looking away, feeling her cheeks burn as she forced herself to sit up straighter. "I-I wasn't staring, I was just... regaining my balance." He chuckled softly, but didn't press further. "How long was I out?" she asked. ---- This story includes 18+ content and spicy scenes, uncluding breeding kink and hand fetishes.
