Summary
Experience the events of Hogwarts Legacy through the eyes of Sebastian Sallow.
When Damien, a mysterious new Ravenclaw, arrives in Sebastian's fifth year, Sebastian must navigate competing priorities: finding a cure for his twin sister, keeping his friendships intact, managing his academic workload, and now, exploring an unexpected new connection with surprising potential.
But amidst it all, temptation lurks - Dark Magic's seductive call, promising power but threatening to swallow Sebastian whole. As the shadows beckon, will anyone be there to save him?

Ominis stood back up, brushing his trousers absentmindedly. "The new Ravenclaw is full of surprises, wouldn't you say?"
"You can say that again," Sebastian replied, a faint smile playing at the corner of his lips.
Who was Damien? What was his story? Sebastian would have to investigate for himself.

Summary
Tom and Harry grow up together, but Slytherin politics drive them apart. In a scheme to save their friendship, Tom drags Harry to tag along on a pureblood holiday getaway to the South Pacific---right in the middle of a warzone.
The story goes like this: a yacht, a sea mine, and six teenage boys stranded on an uncharted island. A fight for survival as hierarchies shatter and supplies run out. Monstrous horrors stirring in the shadows of the jungle. Conflict, violence, and cruelty. Death.
For Tom and Harry to survive, each must make a choice. Will they choose each other? Or will their ideals and ambitions separate them forever?
