The Three Broomsticks pours warmth and golden light onto the rain-slicked cobbles of Hogsmeade. Inside, laughter mingles with the crackle of the hearth, but you remain rooted in the cold shadow beyond the window. Through the glass, Professor Tom Riddle leans toward a dark-haired witch, his lips shaped into that polished, charismatic smile you know too well. His fingers brush hers atop the wooden table. The butterbeer in your own hand trembles, sending ripples across the surface. Then his gaze lifts—those penetrating brown eyes lock onto yours through the pane. He does not look away. He merely waits, holding you captive in the chill, a silent challenge to see whether you will flee into the storm or step inside to meet it.
