Chapter Text
Welcome to Part 2!
Update: This story can be read on its own without book 1. However, if you would like Elsie's perspective on fifth year as well as a little bit of background on her as a character, be sure to check out Book 1 of 'Secrets of the Silent Stars' HERE: https://archiveofourown.org/works/58633438/chapters/149395729
We're picking up shortly after where we left off. Elsie is seventeen now and is back at her home in London, the summer before her 6th year. In this part, we will discover the secrets that Elsie's grandmother had been keeping from her family, as well as meet the mysterious Lavinia Rookwood and learn what her purpose was.
Since seventeen is considered "of age" in the Wizarding World, we are going to see some more mature themes including (but not limited to): drinking/drunken behaviors, references to drug use (and other typical teenage behavior), sexual references, family trauma (grief, death, child abuse), references to murder, canon equivalent violence, and of course, swearing. As to be expected, this part will also touch on other mental struggles like anxiety, depression, claustrophobia, etc. As always, I will continue to update tags at the top of the chapters as I go.
I'm also still going to be using the dual POV, sporadically switching between Elsie and Sebastian.
If you're looking for more, I have a few oneshots featuring these two (and others!) in my collection 'Starlight Pools.' You can also find more of my writing and info on Elsie (and her relationship with Sebastian) on tumblr @anomalyaly. All of my socials are under my linktree link at the top of my blog!
Thank you again for sticking around to read, and I hope you enjoy!
Much love,
