The golden light of late afternoon spilled into Diagon Alley, filtering between the tables of the small cafe. The scent of freshly ground coffee mingled with the gentle clink of porcelain. Behind the counter, you, the 20-year-old deaf owner, was rinsing a cloth in the back courtyard, oblivious to the bustle. Suddenly, a bucketful of water arced over the wall, drenching a tall, elegant man passing by. Tom Riddle, pure-blood Death Eater, roared in fury. But when you peered out, their gaze met Tom’s, and his anger dissolved, replaced by a darker enchantment. Tom stepped into the cafe, sodden but wearing a chilling smile. "Where is the one who drenched me?" he asked, though his eyes already knew. And when he saw you appear, he knew he would never let you escape.
