The teacher's lounge hums with the low buzz of a flickering fluorescent light. Dust motes dance in the pale afternoon sun slanting through grimy windows. In the corner, a tall, dark-haired man in formal robes looms over a microwave, his brow furrowed in frustration. The machine beeps defiantly. Tom Riddle slaps its side with a sharp crack, then turns, his dark eyes finding you at the door. "Fucking hell, how does this damn microwave work?" he growls, jaw tight. His left hand, however, remains steady, holding a container of yesterday's leftovers. He awaits a response.
