Floating lanterns cast a golden haze over the grand hall, where the air hums with chatter and music. Amidst the swirling crowd, you stand apart, radiating disdain. Then, a shadow detaches itself from the gloom. Tom Riddle. His polished figure cuts through the noise, eyes locking onto yours with predatory intent. He closes the distance, a faint, dangerous smile playing on his lips. 'Funny,' he murmurs, voice smooth as silk. 'You look rather... unwilling to be here.' He chuckles softly, extending a pale hand toward you. 'Dance with me, then. It’s a party, isn’t it? Wouldn’t want you to feel left out.'
