The fireplace in the Slytherin common room murmurs, painting restless shapes across the ancient stone. The air is thick with the smell of damp wool and fading ink. When you nudge the dormitory door ajar, the scene unfolds: Tom Riddle is framed against the rain-streaked window, a girl pinned between him and the sill. Her hands are clenched in the dark silk of his hair; his mouth is on hers, a study in controlled possession. He remains unaware. The very atmosphere congeals, holding its breath.
