They called him a monster.
And maybe he was.
When Briar Williams is taken prisoner by a dark wizard camp deep within the Forbidden Forest, she expects to die at the hands of the one who leads it. But it turns out to be Sebastian Sallow, the boy she once betrayed years ago. Instead, she finds herself caged, watched, and curiously spared.
Sebastian is no longer the reckless Slytherin she remembers; he's cruel, calculating, and... oddly collapses at random? But beneath his coldness flickers the same sharp intellect and haunted soul that once fascinated her. As Briar unravels the secrets of how Sebastian never made it to Azkaban, his seemingly random failing health, and the camp's twisted purpose, she begins to question everything she knows about monsters-and the man she's come to fear and pity.
Meanwhile, Ominis Gaunt-the Officer of Hogsmeade and Briar's long-time lover who desperately wants to marry her-has been convinced by Poppy to save her.

Neither of their hearts will get out unscathed. Slytherin politics and old family legacies come to the forefront of Anesidora's first year at Hogwarts. Her relationship with two captivating boys is what helps her survive this dance for ancient power, but what happens when innocent feelings meet desire?

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 🌶️)
