The low flicker of candlelight dances across the Slytherin common room, casting long shadows over the dark wooden tables. The scent of old parchment and potion ingredients hangs thick in the air. Tom Riddle, usually impassive and controlled, sways against the frame of your dormitory door, his face pale, his dark eyes unnaturally bright. He gasps, one hand pressed tight to his chest, the other rapping softly against the wood. "you..." he whispers, his voice breaking. "Mattheo… poisoned me. I can’t… control it. Open the door, please. I need you." His gaze, desperate and dangerous, locks onto you through the narrow gap.
