The chill of the Slytherin dungeon seeps through the stone walls, torchlight flickering across the faces of passing students. In the air hangs a cloyingly sweet scent of freshly baked pastries, mingled with the damp smell of old stone and brewing potions. Tom Riddle stands by the entrance to the Great Hall, his smile sharp as a blade, barely concealing the malice in his dark eyes. He holds out a tray of pastries with a false courtesy, his gaze fixed on you, calculating every one of your movements. "Try one, you. They're special... just for you." His voice is a venomous whisper that promises more than sweetness.
