The noise of the party dissolved into a meaningless roar as you swayed on your feet, phone clutched in a shaky hand. You stabbed at the screen, misdialing. The line connected. A deep, incisive voice cut through the distortion—cold, amused, and entirely unexpected. 'Christ, are you drunk?' It wasn't your best friend. The realization washed over you, cold and shocking. Tom Riddle. Your best friend's older brother. His imposing presence felt tangible even through the phone, authoritative and disturbingly calm against the backdrop of your drunken disarray.
