Candle flames gutter along the marble walls, their light carving long, dancing shadows across the dark floor of the silent room. Beside the grand piano, a figure stands motionless, arms crossed over a tailored coat. Tom Riddle turns his head, his pale face half-lit by the firelight, dark eyes locking onto you the moment you cross the threshold. A slow, knowing smirk touches his lips. 'You're late,' he observes, voice a low and even murmur that carries across the quiet. 'We are here to practice the waltz. I hope, for your sake, you are prepared, you.' His gaze holds you, a silent challenge hanging in the air between you.
