#shadow trio

I had the wip for this in my drafts for FARRR TOO LONG

I rarely do stuff digitally (even though that's all i've posted on here so far😭😭) but i'm trying to learn more teeheehee

(Staying ahead of the game and making one of these early on so i don't get overwhelmed later lolz)

Im Melanie, i make fanfiction but i am very much up for a conversation too so hmu :) English is not my first language so feel free to correct any grammatical errors if you so wish!

I update my fics once every blue moon, or when the stars align. But don't fret, updated they shall be.

Currently i have an obsession with Hogwarts legacy, so you know what that means... Working on two longer fics rn. One about the shadow trio (Ominis Gaunt/Female OC/Sebastian Sallow) and another one about Anne Sallow/Female OC (Yuri!)

Broken. Violent. Yours.

“Every fucking week, new mercenaries crawled out of Knockturn Alley with orders carved into their skin." I leaned forward, my bandages pulling tight across my ribs but I didn't care.   "So yes," My voice was low, razor-sharp. "When the Ministry refused to act? When no one else stepped up? I hunted them. All of them. Every last bastard that breathed her name. And I'd do it again." - Sebastian Sallow

The time of heroes with swords, their cloaks long

Flies out of the window like a book and our castle grows empty.

All the complicated things make so much sense to us

And yet we are so used to be ashamed of our own feelings

It beats us like a whip — the time to shoot our own

So from when I understand, the golden trio is of course Harry, Ron, and Hermione. The silver trio I thought was Ginny, Neville, and Luna.

What I’ve seen other users call the HL trio is the Shadow Trip. Honestly that’s my favorite because I feel it fits the vibe.

A/N: I had a lot of fun writing this - I made up a meteor shower based on Asteria which i'm pretty sure (the events at least) doesn't exist but let's just pretend they do, to fit the oneshot. 🌞 Critique, comments, & feedback is heavily appreciated

Please Enjoy!

The late afternoon light graces the glass panes of the ancient magic school that is Hogwarts. Sunbeams flooding into each corner & crevice that is visible to it. Students scattered around the grounds conversing with one another about anything & everything. Classes, exams, quidditch.. Sebastian Sallow & Ominis Gaunt were no exception. The duo wandering the Defense Against the Dark Arts Tower, they finally seated themselves in front of a window on a bench on the first floor. The blonde had yawned as he leaned back, the freckled brunette slouching his shoulders. 

Their 6th year hadn't been as eventful as the previous one (thankfully). It was more repetitive at this time, especially with exams coming up. All they’d do these days would be studying until they couldn’t keep their eyes open. Not that they entirely disliked not having something threatening them, but It’d be a lot more fun to have some kind of adventure during this time. Well, that’s what Sebastian would think anyway. 

“Have you seen Aurora lately?” Ominis asked aloud, realizing they didn’t have their third person with them. Sebastian hummed a no. “I heard she’s been busy.” figuring it was with her studies, Ominis only hummed again, & relaxed further against the stained glass window. The two sat in peaceful silence of each other’s presence for a singular moment. 

A moment. 

One, 

Moment. 

The very next moment… 

SLAM!

The two immediately jolted up from their spots, hearing the double doors being pushed ever so loudly. Sebastian didn’t have much time to react when he barely caught a glimpse of Aurora & Amit running up the stairs, not exactly yelling at each other- but they talked in a very loud tone. “What happened? What was it?” Ominis exclaimed, taking out his wand. “It was Aurora, & I think that Amit guy - it looked like they were running from something.”

Sebastian stood from his spot on the bench, he looked at the doors they had just barged in from to see who or what was chasing them. But alas, nothing was. He then began speed walking to the staircase they had traveled to. “Sebastian! Where are you going?” Ominis says also standing up, surely he wasn’t planning on going after them, was he? “Somewhere maybe exciting-!” He said, beginning to run up the staircase after their trail. With a grunt, & a scoff, he lit his wand, & began chasing after the sound of Sebastian’s voice, exclaiming at the brunette trying to keep up with him.

“Hurry! The suns almost down-!” Aurora told Amit as they ran up the winding staircase that led to the Astronomy Tower, The Slytherin boys who had witnessed their fast dash, had taken a break at the astronomy classroom, catching their breaths. Ominis leaning against the wall, & Sebastian with his hands on his knees - both breathing heavily as light sweat began to drip down their foreheads, Ominis’ normally well tamed & gelled hair, was becoming undone with how much he was sweating. “How are they so quick?!” Sebastian groaned. As he began to take off his robe, & loosen his tie. Ominis follows his actions, also taking off his robe, feeling the heavy weight of the material. “Whatever, or whoever they’re running from, I’m sure they’ve already gotten well away from it.” He says. 

With another tired huff, Sebastian walked  towards the door and would take them to another staircase that would eventually lead them to the highest tower of the castle where the two Ravenclaw’s were. “Hold on, maybe we should wait a bit to catch more of our breath.” Ominis suggests after hearing Sebastian's footsteps. Slowly, he turned to face his blonde friend - sweat still forming around his face, & his body becoming increasingly warmer. “They wanted to get there before the sun went down.. It’s already.. 5 before 6.” Sebastian said, looking at the grandfather clock standing on the side. Blowing a huff, Ominis lifts his wand with the red light, & follows his friend as he outstretched his hand, to push open the door.

“I’d argue with you, but you're way too stubborn.” he says, walking past Sebastian. Said boy chuckles, stepping to catch up with him, brushing shoulders along the way as the two continue their little escapade. 

It took them about 20 minutes to get to the top without running, the heat & sweat from earlier ceased, as the cold brutal winter air pricked at their skin, immediately making them put their robes back on. Sebastian examined the tower, until he spotted the double A-battery duo on the furthest outer balcony, trying to look through the large telescope at the same time (it wasn’t working well). One eventually pulled away from the telescope, & began drawing or writing something in a notebook that was placed on the floor. Both Aurora & Amit wore their robes, with blue scarves, & gloves as they inspected the night. Usually having her dark hair tied back in a braid, Aurora let it down past her shoulders, in an attempt to keep her ears warm. 

“How many have passed now?”

“7- no wait 9!! Two just fell at the same time!” 

“They’re becoming more frequent, That means it’s almost here.” 

Sebastian chuckled as he tilted his head & crossed his arms at the two. with a raised brow, Ominis asked. “Are they.. Star gazing?” 

“It would appear so my friend.” 

Hearing familiar voices, Aurora turned her head, & was met with the slytherin boys. “Ah- Sebastian, Ominis, nice to see yo-” 

“A BRIGHT ONE!” 

Hearing Amit, the girl immediately turned her head back to the telescope, but seeing that he was still using it, she ended up looking out into the night winter sky, holding onto the railing, she could just barely make out the bright falling star Amit had exclaimed. “Was that it??” 

He shook his head. “No.. but I’d be expecting a cosmic trail to start soon” The Ravenclaw would tell his friend. Without wasting any time, Aurora dug through her bag, & pulled out the telescope Amit gave her last year after her first Astronomy class. She’s used it almost all the time since then, hence how Aurora & Amit became so close. 

Sebastian & Ominis took a few steps closer, as Aurora finished setting up her telescope, looking through it a few times to make sure it was at the proper setting. “Is there a meteor shower tonight?” the freckled boy asked, shivering at the cold frosty gust. 

“This is no ordinary meteor shower, this is Asteria’s fallen stars.” Amit would tell the two, only taking a glance at them before turning back to his telescope. The slytherin duo cocked their heads to the side & let out a questioning hum. 

“Asteria, the Greek goddess of stars, or fallen stars. Asteria releases an abundant amount of fallen stars once every few thousand years. So many descend from the sky, it makes you wonder how many are left.” Aurora tells, finishing the adjustments to her telescope. Ominis & Sebastian would let an ‘ooh’

“Is that why the two of you were rushing through the halls earlier?” Ominis asked. 

They nod. “We were in the library studying, but found out through Professor Shah’s assignments that Asteria’s fallen stars would be happening tonight.” 

“So you ran all the way here from the library?!” 

“It wasn’t that far.” 

“Ominis & I almost passed out coming up here.. & we were in the Dark Arts Tower!” 

“That clearly shows your passion for the stars, runs shallow.” 

The group sat in silence for a moment, the Slytherin duo watching the Ravenclaw’s switch between their study notebook & the telescopes. Sebastian would let out a sigh, as he crossed his arms - Ominis stood next to the brunette, his wand still in hand with its luminous red light. Because they were using the big telescope, the two noted that they might not get to the meteor shower due to how far it seemed to be. & so, they begin to turn around to retreat back downstairs, either to the Slytherin common room, or the DADA Tower, whichever they feel like when they reach the end of the staircase. 

Not even another's moments passed, as he stared through the telescope, it didn’t take long for Amit to remove himself from it - as he was blinded by a bright light. Looking up into the dark heavens, he sees it. “Merlin's beard..” 

“It’s starting!” 

Aurora doesn’t hesitate, & grabs Amit, who was still in a daze, & pulls both of his arms to the balcony railing - hearing her voice, Ominis & Sebastian turned around & jogged back to the outer balcony to where Aurora & Amit were standing. 

With the first descent, another falls, then another - until it seems almost every star in the night that the eye can see is falling. Leaving a trail of its light behind, but never long enough to grasp. The darkness is lit up by these fallen steorra, other student’s & individuals look up to see the same beauty that is displayed thousands of feet away from them. It was clear as day, & although Ominis could not see these asteroids, he could hear & sense the light of them, allowing a painted picture in his mind, just as glorious. As quickly as it came, it was over. Asteria’s fallen stars had ceased. Onlookers had their sights still set on the sky, possibly trying to count the stars like Aurora had mentioned before.

“My gods” 

“Now I see why the two of you like the stars so much.” 

“It was wonderful wasn’t it?” 

“Aurora quick!! We need to finish this chart.” 

“WaH you’re right-! Wait, we should use the chalkboard, we’ll have more space to write!-” 

“What angle were they at?? How fast were they-” 

“Give me a second Thakkar I need to get my quill-!”
