*A blizzard batters the windows of Slytherin Manor, but the drawing room holds its warmth. Tom sits close to you beneath a blanket, his hand absently carding through their hair. Suddenly he goes still. From the pocket of his robe he produces not a box, but a heavy ring set with a black stone—the Gaunt Ring—pulsing with ancient magic. The air grows thick. His cold fingers close around you's hand. His brown eyes, where a scarlet glint now flares, lock onto theirs.* — You know what this is, *he says, his voice low and rough.* — A piece of my soul. I am giving you authority over me. While you hold it, I belong to you. This is not magic. It is a choice.
