"Ancient secrets, fragile loyalties, and a love caught between fire and shadow."
Hogwarts is safe again - or so Yara Rithvale hoped. After defeating Ranrok, she returns for her sixth year, only to find that the castle still keeps secrets. A strange fragment buried deep under its stones awakens, pulling her into puzzles and perils that refuse to stay hidden.
But Hogwarts isn't only danger. It's laughter with Natty and Poppy, warmth and rivalry with Garreth, and the impossible distance of Sebastian Sallow - once her closest ally, now a shadow she can't ignore. As mysteries deepen, so do her choices. Between friendship, loyalty, and forbidden feelings, Yara must decide who to trust before Hogwarts itself unravels.
This story continues from the end of the Hogwarts Legacy game and follows Yara Rithvale in her sixth year at Hogwarts.
She has saved the wizarding world once, but this year the true trials lie within the castle walls itself.
At its heart, this is a Sebastian love story, but it's not that simple-because Garreth Weasley is never far from her side, and the shadows of rivalry, loyalty, and secrets complicate everything.
You'll find:
✨ Hogwarts slice-of-life magic
✨ Mystery & hidden chambers
✨ A tangled love triangle (Sebastian/Yara/Garreth)
✨ Friendship with Natty & Poppy
✨ Drama, betrayal, young love, and slow-burn tension
✨ Action, adventure, and a little spice along the way
⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: This story contains references to Hogwarts Legacy main plot and aftermath.
⚠️ MATURE THEMES: Romance, grief, and darker undertones are explored.
Enjoy, and welcome back to Hogwarts. 🦉

The Secrets || Sebastian Sallow POV fanfic
The world thinks I'm the arrogant one. The rule-breaker. The charming duelist who gets away with everything. They're not wrong. But no one knows what's at stake when I look at Anne. No one knows what I've done. What I'll still do. I made a promise. One I intend to keep. Not for the Headmaster. Not for the school. Not even for the girl with the violet eyes and the clever mouth who's stumbled straight into my path. Qynna Veilinharv. She wasn't here before. Now she's exactly where I need her. She casts spells like she's never learned them, argues like a Slytherin, blushes like a Hufflepuff, and hides things like the world depends on it. I should have left her alone. I didn't. She keeps walking straight into my plans, and every time she does, it becomes easier to let her. The closer she gets, the more I can see what she's made of. And the truth is, some part of me likes watching her try. Even if she never realises how deep she's wandered. Even if, by the time she does, it's already too late. Includes: ✨ Secrets, lies, and very bad decisions ✨ A meddling, mysterious girl with more power than she knows ✨ A cocky protagonist who absolutely has a fan club ✨ A slow descent into dark magic Sebastian Sallow x Fem!OC (but replace "Qynna" and "Veilinharv" with your own OC if you wish- we're all secretly shifting anyway.) ⚠️ Trigger Warnings This story includes themes of grief, terminal illness, death, PTSD, anxiety, depression, obsession, self-harm, light intimacy, violence, blood, dark magic, alcoholism, and emotional ruin. Spoilers for Hogwarts Legacy throughout. Game scenes may appear with new context, expanded dialogue, or darker consequences. Leave comments, theories, chaos, pain.

For What It's Worth // SEBASTIAN SALLOW // OMINIS GAUNT // HOGWARTS LEGACY
** If you're looking for a plot- driven story that includes 18+ content revolving a hellacious love triangle and an MC gone wild, then this is the story for you bestie** Katherine Owens is the proclaimed "Hero of Hogwarts" since defeating Ranrok and those who followed him before the end of her 5th year. Summer is over and upon starting her 6th year, Katherine is determined to flee from heroism so she can pave the way for the bright future she wishes. Though in doing so, she must reconsider the friendships and potential romances that were budded among the chaos, as well as facing the past and new reality of the monster in which emerged from it all - herself. ***DISCLAIMER: like many other stories on here revolving similar characters, the characters in my story are NOT minors. In my version you start 6th year as an 18 year old. The remaining two years are classified more as college levels, and are intended for more as a way to prepare students for their adult lives outside of Hogwarts. YOU WILL NEED PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE STORY, AS I WILL NOT BE DIVING INTO SPECIFICS***Complete
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 :-)

By a stroke of luck, the ministry has decided to give Sebastian a second chance. He gets to come back to Hogwarts for his seventh year of schooling. Ominis is still Sebastian's friend, but he wants to keep you away from him at all costs. He hates you for what you did to his best friend.

The Legacy of Our Love
A Hogwarts Legacy story. Follow the adventures of Asra Devorak, as she is whisked away into a world of magic and mystery the day Professor Eleazar Fig discovered her ability to see traces of Ancient Magic. Enrolling in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a fifth year, she must quickly overcome the many challenges that come her way and catch up to her fellow students. Managing this proves to be quite the struggle as threats of a Goblin rebellion, and the unveiling of ancient secrets come at the price of her access to this Ancient Magic. After the encounter with Ranrok at Gringotts, Asra must work alongside Professor Fig to put an end to their plans, before the Ministry has another full scale rebellion on their hands. Not only must she now catch up on five years of magical education and stop a rebellion, but she must do so while her thoughts are more than distracted with her newfound infatuation with her new Slytherin companions; Sebastian Sallow and Ominis Gaunt. This story will follow the events of the game rather closely, with me expanding on certain scenes and plot points I felt the game just did not give us enough material for. If you're looking for plot focused stories with some feral open door romance, you're in the right place! This will be a non-monogamous storyline, because why would I make you choose between our Slytherin boys? This story will include mature themes such as discussions of childhood abuse, traumatic backstories, violence, wound description, sex, substance use/abuse, death, grieving, etc. All characters aged to 18+. We can view Hogwarts as more of a Univeristy school for older students for the sake of my morality.Complete

This story is a fanfiction continuing the story from the end plot of the Hogwarts Legacy game with the main female character named Rachel Bennett. It is a Sebastian love story at heart but there are plenty of other juicy details included. It is essentially a coming of age story about a young girl discovering who and what she is in the world so if you're looking for nonstop smut you've come to the wrong place... but there is plenty of drama, young love, action, fluff, steam, trauma, slow burning, love triangle, misdirection and mystery with a little spice thrown in between!

Torment & Temptations
Sixth year at Hogwarts has not started off well for Riley Dagworth. With the recurring nightmares, a whispering voice that only she can hear and trying to understand her feelings for both Ominis and Sebastian, sixteen is proving to be a difficult age. Dark wizards are beginning to assemble after hearing a powerful ancient magic has revealed itself after so many years. Riley must continue her adventure in order to protect her friends and the power she possesses. Not only will her journey challenge her in ways she'd never imagine, but a long lost secret will also unfold. Disclaimer: This story is a spinoff after the events of Hogwarts Legacy and may contain spoilers of the game. Our main character (Riley Dagworth) decided not to open the repository containing the ancient magic at the end of fifth year. Authors note: I've always been a Harry Potter fan since I was a child. I loved the books and have read them many times over. When the Hogwarts Legacy game was released it was like my dream of attending Hogwarts had finally arrived. After the finishing the game I was left with wanting more. Which led me to hours and hours of reading fanfiction, and a new world opened itself up to me. I've dabbled in writing before, but have never fully committed to a full storyline. This story is my first. I hope you enjoy it and continue to dream about a magical word as I do.Complete
