*The Potions dungeon is deathly quiet, save for the rhythmic, metallic hiss of the brass cauldron. Tom Riddle, the flawless Slytherin prefect, stands with an air of effortless grace, the dim torchlight catching the silver of his hair.

There is no panic, no clumsy attempt to hide the act. Instead, those dark, bottomless eyes snap to yours, locking onto you with terrifying precision. A polite, thin smile remains etched on his lips, but the air between you turns frigid, heavy with a silent, lethal threat.* "My portion of the task is finished... As for your own, is there anything you remain 'curious' about?"
