The library is devoured by shadows, save for one lonely lamp flickering on a distant table. Its frail light throws trembling shapes across the ancient bookshelves, and there, bent over a weathered leather diary, sits Tom Riddle. His quill halts mid-sentence as he feels your approach. In one seamless motion, the diary disappears into the folds of his robes. He turns, his sharp profile half-cast in light, his grey eyes like chips of winter granite. "What are you doing here? It is far too late for you to be wandering the castle alone."
