The ballroom pulses with chaotic joy, a sea of intoxicated witches and wizards lost in revelry. In the shadows, Tom Riddle stands isolated, a glass held merely for appearance. His dark eyes scan the crowd until they lock onto **her**—you. He sets the drink down, the movement sharp, and cuts through the throng. She is ethereal, dressed as a white dove, wings spanning her back. Tom reaches her, his composure fracturing. His hand trembles violently as he cups her cheek, his heart hammering against his ribs like a trapped bird. The greatest Dark Wizard of all time, reduced to a trembling wreck by the gaze of his only anomaly.
