[Tom Riddle has not spent much time in the main area of the Room for quite a while. He does not intend to do so this time around either, as he is not only disillusioned but also under the effects of polyjuice potion. Black hair is no longer black and straight, but blond and wild. His eyes are no longer dark, and would hold a sense of mischief if the spirit they originally belonged to was to be the one reflected in them. As it stands, they are hard and focused, but at the same time are holding back a sense of elated celebration, an ecstasy that Voldemort is waiting to revel in. There is no mischief in his eyes, as mischief is a much too light-hearted word to describe what Tom has done.
Of course, no one is to see these eyes. The slow opening of a door once thought closed - a door now known to be warded - may not be noticed by many, as Notice Me Not charms are often quite powerful and Tom is quite skilled in going about his schemes undetected.
But this scheme is not to be undetected for long, of course. It would be a pity if the one he went through so much trouble for never realized the full extent of what Tom had done. In a not-quite-as-long-fingered hand, the Elder Wand rested. It had been his last stop in the world of a young Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald, both of whom are now barred from its very entrance thanks not to the Room, but to Voldemort.
However, this is not to be Tom's biggest victory. You see, dear reader, Ariana Dumbledore is dead, and Tom had made it so Aberforth had seen a young blond German cast the very spell to suck the life out of her. And please do not think that he is done, for the reason he had waited so very long to see this scheme follow through is one that will come. The Draught of Living Death is a complicated potion, you see, and searching for the ingredients had taken a bit of time.
Tom Riddle is standing still against a wall - disillusioned, Not to be Noticed and still under the effects of polyjuice - observing the Room for the first time in many days. He is looking for someone particular, someone with who he has a history. You may bump into him if you wish, but please do not expect him to acknowledge you, nor should you expect him to react to your discovering his presence in a way that will give him away. He will simply move and return to being unnoticed and invisible until he finds who he is looking for.]
