Whispers Beneath the Undercroft | Sebastian Sallow x FMC

In their sixth year at Hogwarts, nothing feels as simple as it once did.

Freya McKillian has spent years building herself into someone untouchable - clever, composed, and impossible to read. She comes from a family with a reputation she's spent most of her life trying to outrun, and at Hogwarts, she's learned one thing better than any spell:

the truth is dangerous.

Especially when it comes to Sebastian Sallow.

Charming, reckless, and far too perceptive for his own good, Sebastian has always had a way of getting under Freya's skin. Their connection has always been there - hidden in sharp glances across classrooms, arguments that cut too close, and silences that somehow say more than words ever could. But whatever exists between them has never had room to grow, tangled as it is in pride, secrets, and the things neither of them are willing to confess.

And Sebastian?

He's lying too.

As trust begins to fracture and the line between protection and betrayal blurs, Freya must decide whether love is worth the risk of being truly known - or whether some lies are safer left buried.

Because at Hogwarts, secrets never stay hidden for long.

And the most dangerous lie of all might be the one they keep telling each other:

that they don't belong together.
