''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.

Atley Barlowe is a budding new witch who also carries the world on her shoulders as she travels the road less traveled to unlock the secrets of her connection to ancient magic. Will the burdens of their lives, minds and souls prove to be too much or can they save each other? Sebastian Sallow x Fem!oc (but please feel free to replace "Atley" with your oc's name and "Barlowe" with your oc's last name in your mind if you'd prefer to read it that way.) Slow burn romance but will slowly become a deep and dark fic filled with heart swelling fluff, chaos, angst, magic, dark magic, romance, friendship, family, twists, turns and all sorts of soul crushing.

Will contain spoilers from the Hogwarts Legacy game. Characters aged up to year seven (18 years old). - *SPOILERS - There will be MANY spoilers for the HL game so read at your own risk ** TW: This story will contain themes of death, struggles in mental health, depression, PTSD, anxiety, violence, a bit of intimacy, terminal illness, blood, alcoholism, injury, self harm, "foul" language - if you are uncomfortable with any of these, please do not read! *** All characters aside from Atley and their likeness are owned, created and trademarked by Warner Bros, Portkey Games, the Wizarding World, etc... all rights to them. Story / original character owned by me. Occasional scenes be taken from the game and use quotes, but my own additions will be added to them. Lastly, thank you for reading and all your support!

"You think shutting me out will fix everything?" My voice trembled, frustration and hurt bubbling to the surface. "That disappearing, keeping secrets, pushing everyone away, that it'll somehow make this right?" Sebastian's jaw clenched, his gaze fierce. "I'm doing what I have to do. You wouldn't understand." I took a step closer, refusing to let him slip away this time. "Then try me," I shot back. "Don't just stand there and say I wouldn't understand when you won't even give me the chance." For a moment, neither of us moved, the charged air between us feeling thick enough to choke on. His dark, angry eyes bore into mine, flickering with something I couldn't quite place. It was as if he was silently pleading, trying to find an answer in me, searching for a lifeline he couldn't put into words. I felt my breath hitch as his shoulders dropped ever so slightly, the fight in him faltering. Then, as though some unseen barrier had shattered, he closed the distance between us in a single, unguarded moment. His hands gripped my arms, steadying me as his lips met mine in a collision of emotion that left no room for hesitation. --- As their final year at Hogwarts begins, Y/N is determined to leave the past behind--until Sebastian Sallow returns, bringing with him the weight of a cursed artefact and a desperate mission to save his sister, Anne. Bound by loyalty and a shared history, Y/N and Sebastian must navigate a treacherous web of dark magic, strained friendships, and their own haunted hearts, confronting not only the secrets of the artefact but also the unyielding bond that ties their fates together. --- Disclaimer: The characters, settings, and world featured in this story are based on the game Hogwarts Legacy.

Return of Sebastian Sallow | 10 Yr After Hogwarts by JuneyMont
149 parts Ongoing Mature
Ten years after I began at Hogwarts, Sebastian Sallow is back. And he's Professor Sallow now. He disappeared after the fall of Ranrok and Rookwood, after I lost Professor Fig, and after Ominis and I couldn't keep him from losing himself. But I never forgot him. As students his darkness kept us apart, and as adults his quest to make amends took him around the world and off the radar while my career with the Ministry kept me close to home. With the unexpected opportunity to reconnect, a wildfire of emotions threatens to bring us close once more. And a mysterious, imminent threat from another land threatens to keep us apart...forever. A story about love, loss, and redemption. CH. 1 Snippet: "I can hear Sebastian's breath grow shallow as he grabs ahold of one of my wrists tightly and I notice a familiar shift that brings a strange glisten to his eye and dark shadow to his brow. I've know that look from before, long ago, in the catacombs and the undercroft. But here it has an intensity that I've never seen. He is voracious and wild --primal, even. Like an old familiar melody, I can almost hear the subtlety of his metered self control that prevents him from becoming completely unhinged. And, oh my god, the realization of how badly he wants me nearly send me off." ---- WARNING: NSFW, Mature | Hogwarts Legacy Fan-fiction | Romance | Contains Hogwarts Legacy Spoilers | F Gryffindor OC / Sebastian Sallow. | M OC / Ominis Gaunt | Steamy Start, Slow Burn

The year is 1892. Liya Chang, a Slytherin student in Hogwarts, possesses a rare ability to harness ancient magic. Yet, as the powerful force surges within her, she realises that this power is a double edged sword - she must quickly learn to control it, before it controls her. On the other side of the spectrum, Sebastian Sallow will do whatever it takes to find a cure for his sister, Anne, who was brutally cursed - even if that meant meddling in the dark arts. An unlikely friendship was forged between two fierce academic rivals. Liya and Sebastian, like two moths drawn to the flame, find themselves navigating a dangerous path together. Can they defeat the adversaries that lie in their way, or will they succumb to the magic they failed to control? Surely they should know that power corrupts... Power absolutely corrupts.
