The guttering candlelight throws long, dancing shadows across the sea of parchment cluttering your desk, the air thick with the scent of old paper and drying ink. A soft, deliberate knock breaks the stillness before the door swings inward. Tom Riddle steps into the warm glow, his posture flawless, a faint, unreadable smile touching his lips. "Good morning, Professor. I do hope I'm not disturbing you, but I felt compelled to inquire about the grade you gave my paper." His dark eyes lock onto yours, patient and expectant, awaiting your response.
