Azkaban stole Brianna Lovemore's freedom, her future, and almost her sanity. Returning to Hogwarts should have felt like hope, but instead, it becomes a battlefield.

Students whisper. Professors watch. Old wounds reopen.

Sebastian Sallow stays at her side, refusing to let the world swallow her again, even as his own anger threatens to burn everything they're trying to rebuild. And when Ominis Gaunt begins sending secret messages and dragging up the past they've fought so hard to escape, the delicate balance finally snaps.

All three of them are standing on the edge of something dangerous.
Secrets. Regret. Ancient magic.
And the kind of love that changes everything.

~ 𝔸 𝕝𝕖𝕥𝕥𝕖𝕣 𝕔𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕥𝕒𝕜𝕖 𝕙𝕖𝕣 𝕒𝕨𝕒𝕪. ℍ𝕚𝕤 𝕤𝕚𝕝𝕖𝕟𝕔𝕖 𝕞𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕝𝕖𝕥 𝕚𝕥. ~ After the events of Hogwarts Legacy, Vanity Steel thought life at Hogwarts might finally settle into something resembling normalcy. 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. Because of that the characters are 18+. Cover Creds: Audra1890 Ratings: #1 Sebastiansallowfanfic

Sebastian Sallow, one of the most handsome, eligible bachelors at Hogwarts (and certified player, next to his bestie Ominis Gaunt), develops a crush on the popular new Fifth Year girl he befriends. But her attention is... elsewhere. His rizz is on fire, so why isn't she head over heels for him like the rest of the female population at school? Our MC (Juliet Brooks) becomes entangled in lust, drama, and danger soon after entering Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a new student. She had a pretty rough Fifth Year, dealing with fuckbois and ancient magic, so when she returns for her Sixth Year, she is a moody bitch. But Sebastian still wants her... all of her. What does it take for him to finally ask her out? Based on a combo of plots and scenes from classic teen movies and romcoms (including some of the sassy dialogue), this story has humor, fluff, explicit smut, ghost sex, friends to lovers trope, and all the usual co-ed boarding school angst. *** "It sounds like we share some similar traits when it comes to handling women..." Ominis smirked. "But classic Sebastian, he is far less patient than I am. He wouldn't allow you to get away with your bratty behaviour, Jules," his voice dropped low. "Oh, he'd punish you for that, darling. But trust me, you'd LIKE it." I felt like I'd been shocked with a cow prod, tingles coursed throughout my body, pooling between my legs. I walked away from Ominis, a little stunned, as I returned to the Potions station with a jar of tar in my hands. "Ah, good job," Sebastian smiled at me encouragingly, his praise almost making me choke. *** Sebastian Sallow fan fiction [Hogwarts Legacy] Hogwarts Legacy spoilers within! Everyone is aged up 18+ throughout this fanfic. Mature audience only, please! It gets very spicy!

''You seriously need to stop calling me your friend,'' Sebastian tells me in a low voice. ''Then what should I call you?'' I ask curiously. My stomach is fluttering like never before. ''I haven't quite figured it out just yet. But 'friend' is not it.'' He says as he squeezes my hand harder. ---- Sebastian Sallow x reader, a love story. When the summer between Y/n's 5th and 6th year at Hogwarts, she cannot stop thinking about Sebastian Sallow, despite the horrible things he did last year. She knows that what happened should have been the end of their relationship, but for some reason she does not consider it to be over. In fact, Y/n is unsure of her feelings towards him. Something about him just makes her feel like home. During their 6th year their relationship develops further, while facing new obstacles. One night Y/n discovers something that could mean the end of the wizarding world that requires help of Sebastian as well as Ominis. This is a story about love, friendship, betrayal and sacrifices. ---- Note: This takes place after the end of the game Hogwarts Legacy, but uses characters from the game. I do not own any of the characters. In this story Y/n was put in Slytherin and chose to become a keeper. This fanfiction also takes some inspiration from the Harry Potter-books, I do not own these characters either. Spoiler warning: Contains spoilers from the game Hogwarts Legacy as well as some potential spoilers from the Harry Potter-books.

~ 𝕊𝕙𝕖 𝕨𝕒𝕟𝕥𝕖𝕕 𝕙𝕚𝕞 𝕘𝕠𝕟𝕖. ℍ𝕖 𝕨𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕𝕟'𝕥 𝕝𝕖𝕥 𝕙𝕖𝕣 𝕘𝕠.~ «⋅✦⋅» Avelina Black hated Sebastian Sallow more than she hated the world itself. For her, life had always been about duty and appearances, living up to her family's name. As her 7th year at Hogwarts begins, she knows that all she has to do is survive a few more months in his presence. That is, until an escapee from Azkaban attacks, demanding her mother's necklace. This pushes Avelina into a situation she never expected: depending on the very person she swore to despise, Sebastian. But as danger looms and truths unravel, Avelina can no longer deny the undeniable, Sebastian isn't quite what she thought. And perhaps, in spite of everything, she doesn't hate him after all. «⋅✧⋅» Spite is an enemies-to-lovers Sebastian Sallow x OC fanfic featuring dual POVs from Avelina and Sebastian as they navigate their tangled emotions, sharp banter, and undeniable tension-all wrapped in vivid, mature (18+) content. Avelina: "Quite frankly, Viv, I'd rather poke my eyes out with my wand than spend an entire evening with Sebastian Sallow!" I spat, my anger flaring. "I know, I'm sorry," Viv said, looking slightly guilty. "But it'll be good for you. You don't have to talk to him, just hang out with Liam." I shook my head in disbelief. "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? «⋅✦⋅» Ratings: #1 Academicrivals #2 Sebastiansallowfanfic #4 Sebastiansallow

"The professor and I froze, unable to move or speak yet sharing a solemn understanding. We discovered something we did not even realize we were searching for: An Ancient Magic wielder." Eight years after the events of the repository, Sebastian Sallow's seemingly quiet life as a Dark-Arts professor is turned upside-down when his former friend-Juliette Fontaine-returns to Hogwarts for reasons unknown. In a remarkable coincidence, the professor and the curse-breaker soon discover a new, young Ancient Magic wielder among the professor's own students. Old feelings and lingering tension resurface as they work together to help the young protégé master their magic and earn their place as a Keeper. Yet... Sebastian cannot shake the nagging feeling that Juliette is keeping something major obscured from his view. *Friends to Lovers *Soft Sebastian Sallow *Fluff with a hint of smut *Dark themes *Healing from trauma *Found/chosen family Rankings: #1 SlytherinxRavenclaw (10/24-11/24, 1/25) #1 Sallow (11/24) #3 Hogwartslegacyfanfic (10/24) #2 Sebastianxmc (10/24, 1/25) #3 Ancientmagic (10/24) #1 requitedlove (1/25) Contains mentions of: PTSD, alcoholism/sobriety, sexual assault, general mental illness, somewhat graphic depictions of gore/blood, child abuse/neglect, mature/explicit language, death/grief
