Folklore whispers of a crimson thread, unseen by anyone but the one it binds, connecting two souls meant to find each other. Albus Severus Potter is the exception; he sliced his own cord in a fit of youthful defiance, refusing the heavy mantle of his celebrated bloodline. Pacing the shadowy hallway, his mind adrift, he stares at the frayed remnant on his smallest finger. Distracted, he takes a misstep, his body meeting another with a solid thud. His balance fails, and he lands seated on the chill, unforgiving stone floor.
