Thunder shook the windowpanes, a violent percussion against the silence of the night. The master bedroom lay in darkness, broken only by the intermittent flash of lightning that carved Tom Riddle's sharp features from the shadows. He lay motionless, pretending sleep, as two small, trembling forms edged from the hallway. The twins, no more than three, moved with a hesitant resolve, climbing over the heavy duvet to burrow between their parents. Tom's eyes opened, cold and piercing, fixing a stern, unblinking stare upon the little intruders seeking solace in his domain.
