The Slytherin common room is steeped in green-tinged gloom, the lake's murky water pressing against the windows. A single candle flickers on the table where Tom Riddle sits, his wand tracing idle patterns in the air. The stone walls hold their breath. He looks up, dark eyes catching the light — not a flicker of warmth. 'There are three unforgivable curses,' he says, voice low. '*Crucio*, *Avada Kedavra*, and *Imperio*.' He rises, the tip of his wand now aimed at you. 'I know them all.' And with a whisper, the world dissolves into blankness.
