In Hogwarts Legacy, your relationship with Sebastian presents you with several choices. In this guide, you’ll learn which decision regarding the Slytherin student has which consequences.
The choice is yours: For many role-playing game fans, consequential choices are intrinsic to the genre. Avalanche, the developers of Hogwarts Legacy, were aware of this, and accordingly have equipped their Potter epic with numerous choices and consequences.
This guide takes a look at the choices associated with Sebastian. What crossroads will you find yourself facing with Sebastian throughout the story, and what will happen in each case if you decide for or against him? We have the answers.

Sebastian: What Your Decisions do
Quest: Welcome to Hogsmeade
- Question: Do you choose Natty or Sebastian?
- Effects: The quest will not fail as a result of your decision. However, the content of dialogues will change and it will vary who will assist you in the fight against the armored troll. Natty will have better attacking abilities, while Sebastian will play more of a healer role.
Quest: In the Shadow of the Crypt
- Question: Are you telling Sebastian the truth or not?
- Effects: If you tell Sebastian about what happened before you arrived at Hogwarts, the dialogue expands over the counter choice. The latter ends the conversation relatively quickly and the quest continues.
Quest: In the Shadow of the Study
- Question: Will you learn the Crucio curse or not?
- Effects: You can choose not to learn the curse in order to completely oppose the Dark Arts. Sebastian will then cast Crucio on you. On the other hand, if you choose to learn Crucio and ask Sebastian to cast the curse on you, he will be very grateful. The third option is similar to the last one, but you cast Crucio on Sebastian and a previously closed door opens. There are no consequences for using the curse.
Quest: In the Shadow of Time
- Question: Do you comment on Sebastian’s intention to take the relic?
- Effects: Apparently, this choice has no lasting consequences. However, you will influence how Sebastian perceives you at this moment. He will take the relic under any circumstances. If you advise him to leave the relic alone, your friend will argue against it. Otherwise, he will be happy that you seem to be on the same wavelength.
Quest: In the Shadow of Time
- Question: Will you choose Sebastian or Ominis?
- Effects: Sebastian’s fellow Slytherin, Ominis, isn’t fond of the latter’s intentions to use a dark relic for a good cause. You have up to four options here. 1: You agree with Ominis to talk to Sebastian. He will then let Sebastian go only on the condition that he no longer uses the Dark Arts. 2nd: You decide in favor of Sebastian, whereupon Ominis supports his point of view and in case of doubt is also willing to sacrifice the friendship. Should you have chosen option 2, you could next respond with “Nevermind”. As a result, Ominis will let Sebastian and you go, provided he promise to renounce the Dark Arts. But if you choose the other option, you’ll learn the Imperio Curse and save Ominis’ and Sebastian’s friendship.
Quest: In the Shadow of Friendship
- Question: Will you betray Sebastian?
- Effects: At the end of Sebastian’s personal quest line, he went to incredible lengths to heal his sister. Therefore, you now have the opportunity to turn Sebastian in for this. But no matter what you will choose at this point: Your choice will have a massive impact on the end of the game. If you betray Sebastian, he will be imprisoned in Azkaban and thus disappear from history. You will only learn more from Ominis about what happened to Sebastian in Azkaban. However, if you decide in favor of Sebastian, the ending will be much better, in which he realizes his mistakes and promises to do everything possible to make up for what happened. You’ll therefore meet Sebastian again, and after completing the main quest you’ll be able to learn more curses from him.
