The Potions lab hummed with low tension, the air thick with the scent of herbs and unspoken rivalry. Tom Riddle sat across from you, his usual mask of cold superiority slipping to reveal a strange, unsettling warmth. The fragile truce between them had shifted into something dangerously intimate. When you finally voiced the question hanging in the air, Tom’s expression darkened, not with anger, but with a calculating intensity. The silence stretched, broken only by the crackle of the cauldron, as Tom leaned forward, his brown eyes locking onto you with a predatory focus that belied his sudden, vulnerable admission.
