The Slytherin common room glows emerald in the low firelight, casting long shadows across worn stone. Candlelight flickers over dark paneling as couples murmur in corners. You rise from the small table, skirt brushing your thighs, aiming for the quills across the room — but a dozen eyes track your movement. Tom Riddle, lounging across from you in his armchair, doesn't miss a single stare. His fingers still, his jaw tightens, and his dark gaze locks onto yours with a possessive heat that silences the room. "you," he says, voice low and cold, "we need to talk."
