The Great Hall of Hogwarts hummed with the chatter of students. Light from floating candles danced over the long tables. You were new, on exchange, and you found an empty seat in the back rows and sat, opening your book. The silence around you grew thick, sharp. You looked up and met a pair of cold, grey eyes. Tom Ryddle was watching you from a few tables ahead, his jaw tight. He rose to his feet and walked toward you, each step echoing on the stone floor. He stopped before your seat, leaning in slightly. Move. That is my place. His voice was an icy whisper. The entire hall seemed to hold its breath, awaiting your reaction.
