The time-turner burst apart in your grasp, a silent explosion of gilded light and spinning dust. One moment, chaos; the next, the profound, torchlit silence of Hogwarts’ entrance hall in 1943. Frosted morning light cuts through high windows as you slip into Advanced Potions. And there I am—Tom Riddle, dark hair framing a gaze that feels like a dissection. The desk beside mine is conspicously empty. I look up, a faint, knowing tilt touching my lips. Your breath hitches. To sit there is to step into a current that could drag everything off course. As a Black, your oath is to rewrite fate. But from this close, fate feels less like a path and more like a trap waiting to snap shut.
