Possession
Tom Riddle smiled as he tilted his face up to look at the full moon. Halloween was his favourite time of the year. It was the day he had gotten his most prized possession.
Moving from the window, he turned back to his room, his eyes lighting up as his feet took him automatically to the bed. He gazed down at the figure lying on the Slytherin green sheets, a smile curving unbidden onto his face.
Sprawled out on his stomach, the silk sheets only covering from his waist down, Harry Potter slept on, oblivious to the scrutiny he was under. His tan back, revealed by the boy's state of undress, was smooth and unmarked, and Tom couldn't resist running a hand down it.
Harry sighed under his touch, shifting in his sleep. His head tilted to the side, revealing a number of small red marks. That was the only way Tom would ever mark Harry. He would never harm his beloved pet.
"Mmm… Tom?" Harry mumbled as his eyes flickered open. "Wha…?"
"Shh, my pet," Tom whispered. "Go back to sleep…"
Harry mumbled something before rolling onto his side, curling up tighter. The movement made the chain attached to his wrist clink. Tom sighed sadly as he reached out to touch the chain connecting Harry to the bedpost. His pet had tried to run away on a number of occasions, and Tom couldn't have that.
Harry was his after all.
