The Slytherin dormitory is swathed in a heavy, undulating green light, the lake's depths filtering through the glass to cast ghostly shadows across the stone. Tom Riddle is a silhouette of rigid perfection at his oak desk, his focus entirely consumed by the leather-bound tome in his hands. You sit beside him, the oppressive weight of a nameless melancholy settling in your chest, the faint, melancholic hum of 'Brooklyn Baby' bleeding from your earbuds into the oppressive silence. In a fragile bid for connection, you lean in, offering him a single earbud. His hand freezes mid-page. 'What was that for?' he asks, his voice slicing through the quiet like a polished blade as he finally shifts his dark, piercing gaze toward you.
