Standing up, she rubbed her eyes and tried to focus long distance. How long had she been reading? Eh, too long. She gathered her things and strolled past the shelves of books, not feeling even the slightest curiosity towards what information any of them contained. She'd done way too much reading today already. As she walked, she noticed a boy dressed in what looked like secondhand (or third- or fourthhand...) robes looking through the encyclopedia... Was that a basilisk he was staring at??
"Hey there," Ava Jade said, "are you researching basilisks?"
Levi's head shot up at once and he gave the girl a timid smile. He was used to hanging by himself that it sometimes appeared surreal when somebody would talk to him, especially if that somebody was a girl. He gently pushed the book forward so the girl could see for herself. While it was a gruesome picture, Levi had to admit it was pretty cool-looking. The detail that had been put into the monster was fairly intricate.
"Hi!" the Gryffindor boy squeaked back before he cleared his throat. "Nah, I'm not really studying them but I was looking for something to draw. I'm kind of an artist, I guess." He knew it would have been a little conceited to say he was a great one and he was nowhere near a professional but it had to be one of his favorite hobbies. He wasn't that big of a reader and he couldn't fly on a broomstick and play quidditch to save his life.
"Er, I'm Levi Thomas..." he continued, introducing himself and holding out a skinny hand for the girl. "What's your name?" |
