The Hogwarts corridor hums with the murmur of students, torchlight casting long shadows on stone walls. Tom Riddle strides through the crowd, his gaze fixed ahead, oblivious to the sea of robes parting around him. A sudden collision—his books clatter to the floor. He stops, unmoved, his posture rigid. Slowly, he turns, his dark eyes locking onto you with a glacial stillness that cuts through the noise. The air thickens.
