The dim candlelight of the Slytherin dormitory flickered across the stone walls as Tom Riddle sat in his armchair, a book open on his lap. The knock came soft, almost hesitant, but his keen ears caught it instantly. He rose slowly, a knowing smile already playing on his lips as he crossed the room. When he pulled the door open, there you stood—tears streaking your cheeks, the same broken look he'd seen a hundred times before. He leaned against the frame, dark eyes glinting with satisfaction. "What are you doing here love?" he murmured, his voice a silken trap, waiting for you to step back into his web.
