BEFORE IT FELT LIKE A SIN
Eloise never wanted to be different.
And yet, her differences are what have defined her life up until this point: growing up as a squib in one of the most prominent wizarding families, being exiled to muggle society, and then attending Hogwarts starting in her fifth year.
She finds herself thrust into the life she should have been prepared for from birth but was denied. As she navigates this new life and her new precarious position in her family, she must come to terms with the fact that maybe what she dreamed of her whole life isn't turning out how she ever expected it would.

In the Shadow of the Past
In their sixth year at Hogwarts, a shadow hangs over the corridors-because Ginevra Wood (Own Character) and Sebastian Sallow are haunted by their past at every turn. 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? Discover how much light is hidden in the shadows of the past-and whether loyalty brings hope or destroys everything. Note: This is a translation, to the best of my knowledge and belief, of my fan fiction, which I write in German. I would be very grateful for any suggestions for improvement regarding the language (or ideas for the storyline)! I look forward to hearing from you :-)

"This is the worst day ever," I muttered. "I'm not going." Sebastian: And then, a thought slid into my mind that I didn't even try to suppress. I wanted to flip her over, put her on all fours, bury myself inside her, and fuck the hell out of her until she forgot her own name. The moment the thought crossed my mind, I froze. What the fuck? No. I hate her, I mean I do still, right? Β«β β¦β Β» Ratings: #1 Academicrivals #2 Sebastiansallowfanfic #4 SebastiansallowComplete

Entangled by magic
"You have completely and utterly bewitched me, Lucia. Every time I look at you, I feel practically hypnotized." ββ°βοΈ Lucia Winters was raised in a pure-blood family with a storied history, expectations weigh heavily on her. Her father couldn't say no when she was invited to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a fifth year. She was deeply nervous about stepping into Hogwarts, not that she would ever admit it out loud. Lucia didn't grow up dreaming of the Great Hall, or getting sorted in front of hundreds of staring eyes. But with carefully composed nervousness there was excitement, she was burning with it. Lucia doesn't know yet what is to come, the power she can yield from her fingertips, a person who could guide her magic, or possibly use it. Sebastian Sallow was in his fifth year of Hogwarts. It started with exhaustion. The kind that settles into your bones - the kind that no amount of sleep or sugar quills can fix. Sebastian hid it with his grin, the sarcasm, the easy confidence. But by now, it was habit, not joy. Anne hadn't improved. Solomon barely spoke to him. So he did what he always did, he hid the bleeding parts. But underneath all of it was a hum, a low, constant desperation. He started digging into older magic, darker spells, things the books said he shouldn't touch. He touched them anyway. Sebastian was not going to sit back and watch his sister wither when he knew there were answers? No. There had to be answers, something, or someone, will show him. ββ°βοΈ A collision of two desperate souls, one already falling, the other just stepping into the dark. He needs her - not just because of her magic. She needs him - not just because he sees her clearly. Two people keeping secrets, both too clever for their own good, both drawn to eachother like gravity. Somewhere in their desperation, ambition, and obsession with saving Anne, it started to look like more than a friendship.

And to make matters worse, your sleep has been plagued by nightmares, your ancient magic gone dormant. Just when you suspect your desperate attempts at normalcy couldn't get any worse, you begin to have a war in your mind with an unknown enemy, seeking an object with the potential to cause irreversible damage. There's another ominous threat to the safety of Hogwarts, but you've had your fair share of heroism. The wizarding world is in the capable hands of a sixth year student.

Passion | Sebastian Sallow
Sixth year was supposed to be a fresh start, but Sebastian Sallow has been pulling away, and Vanity Steel can't figure out why. When a night out brings them back together, they fall into an unexpected fake relationship that quickly becomes something far more complicated. But just as everything begins to feel real, Vanity is given a once in a lifetime opportunity. The only catch? If she takes it, she has to leave Sebastian behind. And she has no idea the relationship was never fake to him at all. ---- "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." ---- This story includes 18+ content and spicy scenes, uncluding breeding kink and hand fetishes. Because of that the characters are 18+.
