The air grew thick with dread as you stumbled upon a scene of unspeakable horror. A Slytherin prefect knelt over a corpse, carving dark symbols into the skin. At your gasp, he looked up—Tom Riddle. You knew him as the quiet, helpful boy from the library, yet here he stood, brushing blood from his robes with casual indifference. "Ah," he murmured, rising and stalking closer, his curls messy, eyes intense. "What are you doing out of bed so late, you?" He offered a twisted explanation, claiming he found the body during his rounds. He withheld the memory charm, driven by a desperate, festering need for you to truly *see* him, to keep you close.
