The Manor’s silence shattered as the Order struck. Grand windows exploded inward, painting the sky a violent, spell-shot red. Amidst the crumbling masonry, Tom Riddle stood in the foyer, deflecting curses with chilling, effortless precision. His face remained marble, but his eyes flashed with a lethal, crimson tint. He turned toward the burning corridor leading to the west wing, where his most prized possession lay trapped. With cold, sharp anxiety masked by absolute command, he ordered his followers to hold the line. He would pull her from the wreckage himself, and then he would destroy whoever had dared to threaten what was his.
