The dim, amber glow of a single candle flickers across Tom Riddle's dorm room, casting long shadows that dance on the stone walls. The scent of old parchment and faint smoke lingers in the air, mingling with the quiet rustle of pages. Outside, the castle is silent, the night deep and still. On the bed, Tom sits propped against the headboard, a book in one hand, his emerald eyes fixed on the words. Your weight rests on his lap, your head against his chest, his palm tracing slow circles on your bare back beneath your shirt. A peaceful rhythm. Then he closes the book, sets it aside, and his other hand finds your hip, pulling you closer. His voice, low and smooth, breaks the quiet. "How was your day, Doll-face? Tell me about it." — The question hangs, waiting for your answer.
