Madeline Nott should have been the most brilliant witch of her age, a pureblood, and the daughter of a rather cunning Slytherin and a brilliant Ravenclaw. Her parents watched in delight as she devoured more books on spells before the age of eleven than any of the other children in her hamlet. She was set up perfectly to be the arrogant Pure Blood princess of Hogwarts. But the letter never showed up when she was eleven. Heartbroken and thinking herself a Squib, the acceptance letter came seven years late, landing her in Hogwarts at the age of eighteen. 

Desperate to prove herself to her classmates, and the rather infuriating Sebastian Sallow from the hamlet who'd tormented her for years, Madeline finds herself taking on more challenges than most witches or wizards would ever face in their life. She knows that if anyone was made for this, surely it was her. Ancient Magic, the expectations of those around her, a wizard desperate for her powers, and a fierce rivalry with her fellow Slytherin, Madeline doesn't shy away from any of it. 

There was just one problem left. 

Her best friend, Anne Sallow, was cursed. Dying of the pain, Madeline and Sebastian must race against an impossible to cure curse and not rip each others throats out in the process.

Raven Fawlty grew up in a grim orphanage, enduring cruelty from a heartless caretaker who ridiculed her striking pastel purple eyes, calling them "poison" and "toxic." These taunts left Raven ashamed, avoiding the color and burying her pain. Despite her harsh upbringing, her fierce spirit and love for music offered solace, but her life changed when strange, supernatural events led her to Hogwarts. Learning she can wield Ancient Magic, a rare and powerful force, and is haunted by vivid precognitive dreams-visions of a future she cannot control, serving as both a blessing and a curse. Her arrival coincides with a goblin rebellion, that threatens wizards and muggles alike. Amid the chaos, she forms an unexpected bond with Sebastian, a Slytherin boy weighed down by his family's struggles and relentless drive to protect those he loves. Through shared vulnerability, they become each other's lifeline, their connection deepening into a love that strengthens them both against the trials ahead. As Raven's journey unfolds, her lilac eyes and insecurities transform from a source of ridicule into a symbol of strength. The flower represents love, growth, and truth; her story is one of resilience, self-discovery, and embracing what makes her extraordinary. Traces of Lilacs reminds us that our perceived flaws can become our greatest strengths, and even the softest trace of lilac can carry a world of meaning. ₊‧⁺˖⋆ ₊‧⁺˖⋆ ₊‧⁺˖⋆ ❀ ☽ ❀ ₊‧⁺˖⋆ ₊‧⁺˖⋆ ₊‧⁺˖⋆ Trigger Warnings: cursing, SA (only first chapter), abuse, mentions of death, blood, but also, fluff, sexual tension, and angst This is my first fanfic, and I am so excited to share it with everyone.

How to Make a Villain | Sebastian Sallow x F!OC by morelikeravenbore
31 parts Complete Mature
[COMPLETE] A comprehensive guide on how to turn the good guys bad. Canon divergent, slow burn, mutual pining, idiots in love. ~x~ Aurélie Collins wishes she were invisible. Unfortunately, despite her best efforts to appear normal, there are a great many unusual things about the red-haired girl from France: she's the only transfer student Hogwarts has seen in recent memory, she has an absolutely abysmal sense of direction, and - though she desperately wishes she couldn't - she can wield an ancient and highly unstable form of rare magic. When tragedy rips her from her life of opulence at Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, Aurélie is unceremoniously thrust into the freezing cold Scottish Highlands to finish her final year at Hogwarts, where the castle's floor plan is impossible to navigate, obsession with gossip runs prevalent among the student body, and it's freezing bloody cold - all the time. Worse still, she finds herself unable to escape the unwavering attention of Sebastian Sallow. Tall, handsome and infuriatingly arrogant, the Slytherin Quidditch captain is convinced he's the greatest thing to ever walk the halls of Hogwarts, is best friends with a Gaunt, and, to Aurélie's endless irritation, does not want to let her out of his sight. Ever. But when the horrors of her past threaten to catch up with her, Aurélie must make a choice: tap into the magical abilities she's tried so hard to suppress and put her trust in the very same Slytherin boy who won't stop antagonising her, or spend her life running and hiding from those who tore her life apart in France. Will she step into the power she was born to wield to protect herself and those she loves? And will Sebastian Sallow prove himself to be more of an ally than she could have ever imagined?

Clara Selwyn knew she was different the moment her magic started showing. What she didn't anticipate was just how different she was nor the type of magic she held. Despite being trained by some of the best witches and wizards of the time, there was still much Clara needed to know and one person in all of the history books that may have the answers--Miriam Fig. With the aid of the Keepers, an old blueprint from the Restricted Section, and the Golden Trio, Clara found the ability to retreat through time. She intended to summon a portal to bring her to Miriam Fig, but she miscalculated. What she found was even more dire than she imagined. What's worse is that it wasn't in any of the history books. The very magic that coursed through her veins was at risk under a goblin rebellion that no one in her time had ever heard of. The only option was to enter the portal, retrieve as much ancient magic as she could to prevent the rebellion from gaining power, and return home before anyone found her out. Their plan was foolproof. It all became easier said than done the moment she met her counterpart. The perfect match to her magic. The person who set her soul on fire. Sebastian Sallow.

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.
