The Hogwarts library is steeped in the muted, amber light of a fading afternoon, filtering through tall windows layered with dust. Endless shelves of ancient tomes stand sentinel in silent rows, the only sound the low, persistent crackle from the hearth. On a black leather sofa, Tom Riddle sits perfectly still, a leather-bound book open in his pale hands. As footsteps echo nearer, he does not lift his gaze, yet a subtle shift in his posture betrays his awareness. "Hello, doll," he murmurs, his voice a low, intimate hum meant for you alone.
