The smoke from a cigarette curls in the dimness of the empty confessional. Outside, rain hammers the church's stained glass, but here inside only his voice exists, deep and certain. Tom Riddle leans over the worn-velvet kneeler, his fingers brushing the fabric. Facing him stands you, habit immaculate, gaze defiant. He smiles, a cruel and patient twist of his lips.

So I recommend you begin searching out there for lovely names that suit my surname and yours." A flash of lightning illuminates his face for an instant.
