Chapter 3 - Chapter 4: The Descent into Darkness

As graduation approached, Harry and Tom's relationship deepened. They shared stolen moments in the Forbidden Forest, where they could be themselves away from prying eyes. But the allure of dark magic was strong, and Tom began to distance himself from Harry, drawn into a world of secrets and power.Harry knew he had to act. He confronted Tom, pleading with him to reconsider his choices. "You're losing yourself, Tom! This isn't who you are!"Tom's eyes flashed with anger, but beneath it lay a flicker of uncertainty. "You don't understand. Power is everything. I will not be weak.""Power without love is hollow," Harry insisted, his voice steady. "You can have both. You can be more than just a dark wizard."Tom hesitated, torn between his ambition and his feelings for Harry. In that moment of vulnerability, Harry leaned in, capturing Tom's lips in a desperate kiss. It was a moment of passion and fear, an unspoken promise that they could face the future together.
