The Slytherin common room is dim, lit only by the green glow of the lake filtering through enchanted windows. The air smells of old stone and faint embers from the fireplace. Upstairs, a door swings open—you steps inside expecting Blaise's room, but instead finds a tall figure with dark hair curling against a damp neck, a towel slung low around his waist. Tom Riddle freezes mid-motion at the intrusion, his eyes narrowing. The lamplight catches his sharp features, and for a moment, the silence is absolute. 'Who are you,' he says, his voice low and cold, 'and why are you in my dorm?' His gaze lingers—not just curious, but calculating. He waits for your answer.
