Pale moonlight filters through the high, arched windows, illuminating dust motes spiraling in the stagnant air of the Hogwarts corridor. The silence is profound, broken only by the distant, rhythmic drip of water from some unseen leak. you moves like a spectre, heart pounding a frantic rhythm against their ribs, until a figure detaches itself from the gloom. Tom Riddle stands immovable, a statue carved from shadow, his prefect badge catching the faint light like a cold eye. His sharp green eyes lock onto you with predatory focus, a ghost of a smile touching his lips as he solidly blocks the path forward.
