    Summary

    She’s like a shadow.
    Tom feels her gaze on his back, senses her lurking around corners, and can see her reflection in the large windows as he walks through the corridors.
    He ought to be annoyed by it, yet he feels strangely pleased.
    He knows the girls find him handsome, even if none dare make a move; in Slytherin everyone fears him and, in any case, Pureblood politics would not allow it, whilst to the rest of the school Tom seems unapproachable, polite but solitary, a genius in every subject, with nothing in common with ordinary people – exactly as he ought to be.
    Myrtle is different. She is almost brazen in her stalking, yet she keeps her distance, shy to the extreme.
    Tom waits, curious and intrigued, for her to pluck up the courage.
