"This was the house of the Gaunt family," he tells me. "I used this place to protect something that is very special to me and will be part of the ritual. Before coming here I had a conversation with your father and told him the last steps to finish the potion. He will explain it to you. Don’t see this as a threat, but see it as a reminder. He has accepted that you will perform the ritual and created a vow for it. It is important that you do the ritual otherwise he will suffer the consequences from your decision."
