It's been two years since Ominis graduated Hogwarts. Two years of returning to his family and being subjected to their whims once more. Though changed by his friendship to Sebastian and Damien during his school days, he has been hardened by the treatment of his brother and father. His family has arranged a marriage for him to a woman named Ariadne, but no woman chosen by his family could be anything good for him. He doesn't trust her, and if he can get away with interacting with her as little as possible he'll be happy. Ariadne is the youngest daughter of a pure blood family, raised to be an obedient and demure wife of a wealthy man. Her marriage gave her family a healthy dowry, and so she was cast to the viper den of the Gaunt family. She knew the reputation of the Gaunts, crazed and violent men that obsessed over dark magic and blood quantum. Yet Ominis seems oddly... different. He doesn't seem at all like the rest of the Gaunts. Maybe this marriage won't be the nightmare she thought it would be.

Shade Osborne, a girl full of empathy, affection, and kindness, suddenly finds herself at Hogwarts, placed in a house that doesn't reflect her personality: Slytherin. Perplexed by this choice, she struggles to fit into her house. Struggling in her classes, she catches the attention of a boy. Sebastian Sallow, a typically solitary Slytherin, is known throughout the school for his exceptional skills. However, he reveals himself to be far less intimidating than her fellow students make him out to be. As they spend more time together, a bond develops between the two. Feelings that grow stronger with each passing day lead Sebastian to make extreme choices, driven by his hidden ambitions. Osborne, who seems untalented in her studies, secretly possesses a unique gift essential to achieving Sebastian's goal. A powerful talent, buried beneath her fear of committing inhumane acts, explains why she was placed in the house she so deeply despises. Sebastian's mind becomes a battlefield of conflicting thoughts-torn between love and his devotion to family. Will she be able to develop this ability, so deeply tied to her identity, even if it means setting aside her feelings for a boy who might sacrifice her? Will he achieve his goals, even if it requires using unforgivable spells, at the cost of neglecting his feelings for the girl who holds the key? The cover belongs to Audra1890!

When Ellora Selwyn was sorted into Ravenclaw at 11 years old, her parents turned their backs on her. Though constantly ostracized and treated with blatant and purposeful unfairness by her family, the youngest Selwyn child never imagined her mother would hand her a list of names at the end of her fifth year at Hogwarts with the expectation that she choose one to marry. The list? Subpar. Filled with names of the lowest members of their pureblood social circles. When Ominis Gaunt, hailing from arguably the highest family of purebloods in Europe, proposes she forsake the list her mother gave her and instead enter an engagement with him, Ellora jumps at the chance. But things aren't always as they seem, and every time the 6th Year Ravenclaw thinks she has her 7th Year fiancé figured out, he changes the game.

Katherine Hawthorne hoped for a normal term at Hogwarts after the borderline romantic summer she spent with her favorite Slytherin, but she felt like she was destined to repeat history when the Keepers told her to protect the repository at all costs. With Professor Fig dead, it's up to her and her alone to figure out a new path to repairing the damage Ranrok caused. She could turn to her friends in her time of need - Natsai Onai, Poppy Sweeting, Sebastian Sallow, and Ominis Gaunt - but someone powerful knows about the repository's delicate status and longs for the magic it holds. The last thing Katherine wants to do is hurt her friends by involving them in undertakings they aren't prepared for, but if she doesn't, she risks losing everything. **Characters aged up to majority**
