   Summary

   Two years after the events of Fifth Year, you have returned to Hogwarts to complete your studies, expecting the past to remain where it belongs.

   Sebastian Sallow has returned as well. Now Quidditch Captain, still as controversial a figure as ever within the castle, and still the subject of more than a few rumours.

   What neither of you expect is how often your paths begin to cross, or how quickly old history turns into present tension. As rivalry takes root between you, both find yourselves drawn back into a connection neither fully understands, and neither can easily leave behind.
