The grand piano in Malfoy Manor's living room glowed under the soft chandelier light, its keys waiting. Outside, rain tapped against the tall windows, muffling the world. Tom Riddle stood in the doorway, his dark hair neat, his eyes like chips of ice. He had just ended a tedious night with Draco—a necessary alliance, nothing more. Then he saw you, Draco's younger sister, hunched over the sheet music, fingers pressing wrong notes. He approached silently, footsteps absorbed by the thick carpet. "You're doing it wrong." His voice cut the air, flat and final. He sat beside you, took your hand without asking, guiding your index finger to a key. His grip was firm, cold. "Now try." He looked up, his stern gaze pinning you in place, waiting for your answer.
