There are things no one teaches you about magic.

Not in classrooms. Not in books. Not even in the darkest corners of the Restricted Section.

Things like:
How power whispers before it roars.
How the most dangerous spells don't leave scorch marks-but echoes.
And how, sometimes, magic doesn't ask for blood.
It asks for you.

Lorenzo Berkshire had always known how to bend the rules without breaking them. Clever. Sharp. Untouchable.
Until the night he ran.

Until the rain.
Until the voice in the shadows.

That was the night he made the deal.

He didn't ask for the Game.
But he played anyway.

Because the only thing more dangerous than forbidden magic-
was needing it.

The Secrets || Sebastian Sallow POV fanfic by misspurrple
15 parts Ongoing
ONGOING-- Mature | Sebastian Sallow x Fem!OC | Slow Burn | Secrets | Trauma | Fanclub Menace The world thinks I'm the arrogant one. The rule-breaker. The charming duelist who gets away with everything. They're not wrong. But no one knows what's at stake when I look at Anne. No one knows what I've done. What I'll still do. I made a promise. One I intend to keep. Not for the Headmaster. Not for the school. Not even for the girl with the violet eyes and the clever mouth who's stumbled straight into my path. Qynna Veilinharv. She wasn't here before. Now she's exactly where I need her. She casts spells like she's never learned them, argues like a Slytherin, blushes like a Hufflepuff, and hides things like the world depends on it. I should have left her alone. I didn't. She keeps walking straight into my plans, and every time she does, it becomes easier to let her. The closer she gets, the more I can see what she's made of. And the truth is, some part of me likes watching her try. Even if she never realises how deep she's wandered. Even if, by the time she does, it's already too late. Includes: ✨ Secrets, lies, and very bad decisions ✨ A meddling, mysterious girl with more power than she knows ✨ A cocky protagonist who absolutely has a fan club ✨ A slow descent into dark magic Sebastian Sallow x Fem!OC (but replace "Qynna" and "Veilinharv" with your own OC if you wish- we're all secretly shifting anyway.) ⚠️ Trigger Warnings This story includes themes of grief, terminal illness, death, PTSD, anxiety, depression, obsession, self-harm, light intimacy, violence, blood, dark magic, alcoholism, and emotional ruin. Spoilers for Hogwarts Legacy throughout. Game scenes may appear with new context, expanded dialogue, or darker consequences. Leave comments, theories, chaos, pain. I read them all like they're letters from Azkaban. Thank you for being here. And good luck. You'll need it. - misspurrple
The Fall of The Veil by _rainydaywriting_
40 parts Complete Mature
"It's yours," I say when she merely stares, eyes flicking back and forth between it and myself. Calculating, processing. Wondering why on earth I would just hand it over to her. That's the question of the day, isn't it? The answer is because she's the revolution now. She's grown into the exact person I thought she would become - needed her to become. Every god needs a believer, but I can't say I expected to ever be the one kneeling. I used to want to lead the world. Now I just want to watch her remake it. I step closer, slowly, carefully. Like I'm approaching a predator. Because I am. Her head tilts to the side, confusion swirling amidst the cold calculation. My eyes travel down her form, cataloguing everything that's changed about her. Her stance is more rigid, her hair tamer, posture perfect. The wild, emotional girl is gone. And in her place is a queen in the making. -------- Verena Ebonmere was never meant to stand out. Her magic was bound, her family tried to forget her, and even at Hogwarts she's just another face in the crowd-until a mark blooms against her skin, thorn-shaped and burning with power she doesn't understand. Now everyone seems to want something from her: a professor whose charm hides something far more dangerous, a boy whose visions of rebellion could consume them both, and a person whose gentle smile conceals secrets older than the school itself. Pulled between desire, loyalty, and the lure of her own unraveling power, Verena must decide whether she's the prey everyone expects her to be... or the crown they never saw coming. *NO HARRY POTTER KNOWELDGE NEEDED!!* *I do not own any of the world building or settings, but all characters and plots are my own :)*
Bound By Love | Mattheo Riddle by ShadowBelle11
41 parts Ongoing
A forbidden bond. A deadly secret. A girl who was never meant to belong. Five boys. One mark. A legacy soaked in shadows. No one dares speak their names too loudly. Mattheo, Tom, Draco, Theodore, and Cassian rule Hogwarts from the shadows-untouchable, feared, and hiding a secret that could burn the world. Seraphina Holloway was never supposed to matter. Not to them. Not to him. She was just the girl with the too-bright smile and the too-big heart-always trying to keep her perfect mask in place for the sake of her demanding family. But the moment she met Mattheo Riddle, something shifted. Something pulled. She should have walked away. But fate had other plans. Drawn into a web of secret meetings, ancient magic, stolen glances, and forbidden power, Seraphina finds herself caught between the light she's always clung to... and the darkness that begins to feel like home. There are secrets that burn. There are loves that ruin. And there are choices you can't come back from. Once you're in, there's no turning back. ━━━━━━✧♛✧━━━━━━ Hi there!

𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇; A young wizard, born into the shadow of a legendary pure-blood family, embarks on a journey to Hogwarts-a place of magic, mystery, and more than a few secrets. Known to most by the name of his powerful lineage, he soon finds that there's more to him than his family's fame, especially when a hidden curse-begins to shape his destiny. Though he's unaware of his connection to the stars, he finds comfort in their silent light. He's blind to the effects his presence has on those around him. People-his friends, his classmates, even some he considers rivals-seem to gravitate toward him without reason. They offer smiles that linger too long, glances that speak more than words, but he remains oblivious. To him, these connections are just part of being in a new place and world. But who is he really, beneath the shadow of his family's fame and the secrets they keep hidden? And what of the ancient curse that haunts his lineage? Why does he find comfort in the stars? Are the tales of his family's past true, or is there more lurking beneath? And finally, will he escape the destiny woven for him... or fulfill it? Read to uncover the truth. ✨ #1 winters (04.23.2025)
