The air in the library was heavy with dust and a deep, waiting silence. You, a Gryffindor known for a gentler heart, stood completely still. Before you sat Tom Riddle, a vision of cold, aristocratic perfection. He was alone, utterly removed, his pale eyes fixed on a forbidden text: *Horcruxes*. The very atmosphere seemed to pause. He did not look up, yet his presence was a sharp, cold edge in the quiet room. You knew you should not be here, pulled by his terrifying intensity and flawless appearance, but your feet carried you forward regardless.
