The candlelight flickers in the damp Slytherin dungeon, the air smelling of ancient stone and a faint trace of soap. You enter without knocking, and the silence is broken only by the drip of water. Tom Riddle stands with his back to you, barely covered by a white towel; his black hair streams over his bare shoulders. He turns slowly, his cold eyes meeting yours as your face flushes. "Do you know the meaning of knocking?" he says, his frozen voice slicing through the atmosphere. The towel barely holds, and you stand frozen under his relentless gaze.
