Uprooted from the only life she's known, Juliette Penrose leaves the polished halls of Beauxbatons behind to move to England with her mother and begin her sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Quiet, thoughtful, and nothing like the radiant girls she grew up with at Beauxbatons, Juliette finds herself struggling among new traditions and unfamiliar faces. But everything changes when she meets Sebastian Sallow. Hogwarts fears him. The rumors say he's dangerous.
And yet, he's kind to her. He understands her in a way no one else does. Torn between loyalty, longing, and fear, she doesn't know who to trust, or if she should trust herself.
Meanwhile, Sebastian is forced to face the consequences of his past and a truth he's kept buried. Choosing love could mean destroying the only person who's ever truly seen him.
In a castle full of magic and secrets, some hearts are worth risking everything for, even if it means breaking them.

The Facade of Us | Sebastian Sallow x Reader
"We can't keep tipping the scale of friendship, Sebastian." I say, my voice trembling as I meet his gaze. His expression falters, vulnerability flickering across his face. "Then tell me, Y/N-what do we call this?" ────⋆⋅☆⋅⋆── Returning to Hogwarts for your seventh year, you're still celebrated for your heroic deeds during fifth year. But fame comes with its challenges, and nothing complicates life more than unspoken emotions. Over the summer, you, Ominis, and Sebastian made a solemn pact: no matter what, nothing would break your trio apart. One condition, however, left you uneasy-Ominis forbade any romance between you and Sebastian, convinced it would only bring chaos. You agreed, believing your feelings for Sebastian were purely platonic. But as the new school year begins, the line between friendship and something deeper began to blur. Leander Prewett, persistent as ever, refuses to take no for an answer when it comes to his infatuation with you that started in your fifth year. Desperate for a solution, you turn to Sebastian for help, thinking it might finally end Leander's advances. Little did you know, this small request would set the stage for a far more tangled web of emotions and forbidden feelings.Complete

Thrust into a castle full of secrets, suspicious glances, and unfamiliar magic, Rosalie tries to keep her head down. But that becomes increasingly difficult when Sebastian Sallow-charming, cunning, and impossible to ignore-keeps turning up in her path.

What began as a fragile friendship turns into a battle against guilt, old scars, and new secrets. While the darkness of past decisions weighs heavily on Sebastian's heart, hope grows between classes, secret meetings of the Crossed Wands, and the search for a cure for Anne, hope that no one dares to admit. But nothing is forgotten at Hogwarts-and it takes more than courage to survive in the shadow of the past. Who dares to look behind the masks? Who shines when secrets threaten to absorb everything?

Poisoned Promises - Sebastian Sallow
"I would destroy myself a thousand times if it meant you'd look at me like you used to." Sebastian Sallow was supposed to be the one person she could trust. He promised her-no dark magic. No crossing lines. He lied. He cast Crucio on her in the depths of the Scriptorium, whispering apologies even as she screamed. Now, in their sixth year, Ila is barely holding herself together. And Sebastian is still there-in the halls, in her dreams, in the spaces between guilt and longing. Some promises poison the mind. Some touches leave marks deeper than curses. She knows better than to want him again. But want was never the problem. (What think should of happened after the scriptorium quest) (mature content 🌶️)
