The library is swallowed by darkness, save for a single lamp flickering on a table in the far corner. Its weak flame casts dancing shadows across ancient shelves, and there, hunched over a worn leather diary, sits Tom Riddle. His quill stops mid-word as he senses you approach. In one fluid motion, the diary vanishes into his robes. He turns, his sharp features half-lit, grey eyes cold as winter stone. "What are you doing here? It is way too late for you to wander around the castle alone."
