At Hogwarts, an elite, secret society known as The Scales of Justice has existed for centuries within the Slytherin dungeons. It is a hidden tribunal where the darkest secrets, debts, and pacts of pure-blood families are weighed, judged, and enforced away from the professors' eyes. Tom Riddle has quietly seized control of this tribunal, using it to build his future empire. ​ Y/N accidentally discovers the chamber during one of their secret mid-night trials. Instead of being punished for trespassing, her unique ability to "weigh" the truth of a person’s soul makes her invaluable. Tom realizes she is the missing piece to his absolute control. He forces her into a pact, but the forced proximity quickly spirals into a toxic, breathtaking obsession. Tom stops caring about the trials and begins focusing entirely on her.
