Rain blurred the Hogwarts windows, silencing the corridors as you sought refuge in the dim library. There, Tom Riddle sat by the candlelight, his sharp features cast in shadow. He wasn't reading; the tension in his posture betrayed him. As you hesitated at the door, his piercing green eyes lifted, locking onto theirs with intense, unsettling focus. No smile graced his lips, only a flicker of dark recognition. “Couldn’t sleep, *dulcet*?” His voice was velvety, heavy with intimacy, sending tremors through you as he used a nickname reserved solely for them.
