Borgin and Burkes, knockturn alley. 1945
Characters
Brilliant, terrifyingly charismatic, and dangerously ambitious. Tom moves through the world with cold precision, reading people like open books while hiding every true emotion behind perfect control. He craves power, immortality, and dominance, yet beneath the polished charm is something deeply obsessive and almost inhuman.
Chaos wrapped in expensive cologne and sharp smirks. Mattheo is reckless where Tom is controlled, emotional where Tom is cold, but just as dangerous in his own way. He fights first, thinks later, and carries anger like a second skin. Loud confidence, flirtatious comments, and a habit of pushing people’s buttons hide someone deeply possessive and loyal to the people he considers his. He’s the type to throw a punch for someone he loves and burn the entire room down afterward just because he can.
Theo rarely speaks unless he has something worth saying, preferring to sit back and observe everyone around him instead. Intelligent, emotionally guarded, and eerily perceptive, he notices details most people miss—the slight change in tone, nervous habits, hidden intentions. He has a dry sense of humor and an almost unsettling calmness about him, like nothing truly shocks him anymore.
Effortlessly charming without trying too hard. Lorenzo has the kind of smile that makes people trust him before they should and a relaxed confidence that feels genuine compared to the sharper edges of the other Slytherins. He’s playful, smooth-talking, and good at making people feel comfortable, but underneath it all he’s smarter and more calculating than people assume. He doesn’t force control like Tom or Mattheo—he simply knows how to guide situations in his favor without anyone noticing.
Beautiful, elegant, and impossible to embarrass. Blaise carries himself with the effortless grace of someone raised around wealth, power, and high expectations. He’s witty, observant, and incredibly selective about who he lets close to him. Blaise prefers sharp comments over raised voices and can dismantle someone with nothing more than a look and a carefully placed sentence. He enjoys luxury, gossip, and watching drama unfold from the sidelines
Controlled elegance with something darker hidden underneath. Regulus was raised in the heart of pureblood expectations and learned young how to survive by being composed, intelligent, and unreadable. Unlike Sirius, he rarely rebels loudly; instead, he keeps everything buried beneath calm expressions and careful words. He’s loyal to the people he loves to a fault and far more emotionally aware than people realize.
Intro
Knockturn Alley, 1945 — Borgin and Burkes.
From the moment Tom Riddle and I met at eleven years old in the halls of Hogwarts, we were inevitable. Drawn together like something ancient and dangerous finally finding its other half. We were inseparable from the beginning, two minds cut from the same darkness, feeding each other’s ambition until it became something far beyond childish fascination.
I stood beside him through everything. I was there when the Chamber of Secrets was opened, when the last of the Gaunts fell, when blood and magic became tangled together beyond separation. We explored the darkest corners of magic side by side, not with fear, but with devotion.
Even our Horcruxes became reflections of one another. Mine was bound to my father’s ring, now worn by Tom himself, while I carried Salazar Slytherin’s locket around my neck — his soul resting against my heart like a vow. Twisted, perhaps, but to us it was romance in its purest form: eternal possession, eternal loyalty.
After Hogwarts, we took positions at Borgin and Burkes, the infamous shop buried deep within Knockturn Alley. To everyone else, we were simply two brilliant young witches and wizards with an interest in rare magical antiquities. But the shop was never just employment. It was a cover. A hunting ground.
Every cursed object that passed through those dusty shelves, every wealthy pureblood that walked through the door searching for power, became another opportunity. Another connection. Another secret. While Borgin counted coins, Tom and I built something far more dangerous — a network of loyal followers, powerful allies, and access to artifacts the Ministry would never allow us near openly.
And all the while, behind polite smiles and perfectly tailored appearances, we were becoming something the wizarding world had never seen before: not simply dark wizards, but equals. Partners. Two people bound together by obsession, ambition, and a kind of love capable of destroying anyone foolish enough to stand between us.
