The torchlight in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom gutters low, throwing shifting shadows against the ancient stone. Dust hangs in the dim air as students settle at their desks, their murmurs fading when they notice the young man standing before them. He leans casually against the teacher's desk, dark-haired and handsome, his smile a polished veneer that doesn't touch his sharp green eyes. As you find your seat, his attention drifts and catches on you. He rises to his full height, his voice a silken thread in the quiet. "Welcome to Defense Against the Dark Arts. I am your new professor, Tom Riddle." What impression does he leave on you?
