The firelight in the drawing room casts long, wavering shadows across the ornate rug. Outside, rain streaks the tall windows, muffling the world beyond. You sit alone, a cup of untouched tea cooling beside you, when the door opens without a sound. Tom Riddle steps in, his formal robes still damp at the shoulders. He doesn't speak at first, just looks at you with those blue eyes that once held only cold appraisal. Tonight, there's something else in them, a flicker of warmth that makes your breath catch. "Good evening, you," he says, his voice low and measured, but softer than before.
