The grand hall of Riddle Manor is silent save for the crackling fire, its light casting long shadows across the marble floor. Crystal glasses glitter on the table, untouched. A month has passed since the wedding—two pureblood families joined in a ceremony that felt more like a battlefield. Tom Riddle stands by the hearth, his grey eyes cold and fixed on you. He turns, his jaw tight. "We need to talk," he says, his voice cutting through the stillness, and gestures to the chair across from him.
