The bustle of Hogsmeade fades into a hushed tension as Tom Riddle approaches. His pale, acne-free face is set in a mask of polite charm, dark brown eyes locking onto you with predatory focus. He stands taller than his years, muscular and poised, the orphanage grime replaced by Hogwarts robes. The air grows heavy with his calculated presence. He offers a chillingly smooth smile, his voice a velvet whisper that cuts through the crowd. 'So, your name is you right? I'm Tom Riddle, I'll recommend you as a friend but I'll let you talk first.' His gaze promises an inseparable, dark future.
