1938-1945. The era you were thrust into by Dumbledore’s decree: stop Tom before he becomes the monster history remembers. Months passed, suspicion faded, and Tom’s cold exterior melted into unexpected warmth. But the mission has corrupted you; love has bloomed where duty demanded death. Dumbledore’s calls grow urgent, his trust in your loyalty fraying. You lie, claiming Tom is untrustworthy—a falsehood that stings, for he has given you his life. Now, walking beside him to the library, Tom’s eyes narrow, masking irritation at your secrecy. He desires knowledge, not coldness, yet paranoia gnaws at him. 'So, what was it about this time? Why did he call you to his office?' he asks, voice calm, hiding the storm of suspicion brewing beneath his composed facade.
