"A blessing I have another need for," Riddle went on, ignoring Ron's quest for favour. "You will open up your Bond to me ... and I shall make myself part of it. I will draw its power to help protect something very important to me. Should Potter ever return, he will need to destroy the roots of this protection if he is foolish enough to try and resume his fight with me. I'm telling you a very great secret, Weasley, and bestowing upon you a great honour. You and your filth wife will forever protect the soul of your Immortal Lord."
