Wicked Game

"I clung to words in my mind, repeating them like a spell, like a lifeline, fighting against the pull of the magic that tried to strip him from me entirely. Trying to hold on to the feeling before it vanished.

Trying to remember what it meant to love him.

I said it again.

And again.

As if saying it enough times might allow my mind to keep him.

I love Sebastian Sallow."

Set during their seventh year at Hogwarts. Characters are 18+

Most of Scarlett Starlings fifth year was altered by someone desperate to conceal a dangerous secret, one that she, Sebastian, and Ominis once uncovered together. With their shared history erased, the three now pass one another through the castle corridors, unaware they were ever friends. Sebastian and Scarlett clash at every turn, their tension sharp and unresolved, while Ominis stands between them as a distant and impartial presence. Life continues, or at least it pretends to.

That fragile balance begins to fracture when Scarlett starts to remember.

Unbidden memories surface in flashes, pulling her into a spiral of confusion and doubt as a strange and volatile magical force awakens around her. As fragments of the past resurface, Scarlett must decide who she can trust in a world built on lies, and whether the emotions she feels toward the Slytherin boy at the center of it all are real.
