   Summary

   Fate works in mysterious ways.

    
   When Charlotte DuPont is brought to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry by a professor from her past, she is warned of the goblin, Ranrok, and his dark pursuit of Ancient Magic - the very same magic she possesses.

   What she’s not warned about? The insufferable, freckled Sebastian Sallow. Infuriating. Brilliant. And the last person she should be falling for.

   But fate has other plans. Pulling Charlotte and Sebastian closer, forcing them to confront the shadows of their pasts. Luring them toward the light…while dragging them deeper into the darkness that's threatening to consume them both.

   -Dark Romance Hogwarts Legacy plot retelling with a twist on Eurydice/Orpheus myths-

   **Spring 2026 Update: Currently revising the earlier chapters - the first 3 chapters have had a pretty huge overhaul (no plot changes). Looking to get through them all before this summer and get new chapters soon!**
