Chapter 2: Library Lovers

Posting? Me? I mean apparently! :)

Gellert POV:

I made my way back to the Great Hall feeling every accomplished, this boy is damn cute, something that I don't say about just anyone.

'So...how did it go?' Vinda hissed, tapping the table, dying to know the answer.

I grinned, taking a seat opposite her, 'Extremely vell actually,'

'Details man! We need details!' Abernathy pressed, also eager.

Smiling I responded, 'You know I'm a private man, I'd rather not reveal my intimate interactions.'

They both groaned in defeat but knew not to be demanding, the last time they were they found themselves transfigured into water goblets before you could say Merlin.

'How is it going vith that Ravenclaw girl anyway Abernathy?' I asked, trying to move onto a different subject.

He looked slightly embarrassed, 'oh...well uhhh.'

Vinda smirked, 'Wow, Ab you totally got laid!'

Abernathy playfully punched her shoulder, 'shut up Vinda! Actually...I didn't, she said she wasn't interested.'

'Sorry, you'll find someone else.' I said, completely incapable of sounding sympathetic even though I tried. Before they could even react to my poor attempt of being sorry for someone I added, 'I'll be at the library,'

'You just got here!' Vinda protested

Sighing, I replied, 'I have lots of studying to do!'

That, Of course, was a complete and utter lie for when I got to the library, I pulled an interesting looking book off the shelf and took a seat at a desk. Peering over the book, as I suspected, a certain red head was innocently sat at the back engaged in some reading. I watched as his eyes flicked over the words written before him, going back when he thought he missed something and smiling when he was enjoying a certain part. My heart pounded in my chest, this boy.....is so darn cute. I wouldn't stop thinking that any time soon. After watching him for a while, I decided to put back my book and go over there. Pretending to browse the shelves, my finger glossed over the spines of the books I couldn't care less for. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see he hasn't noticed me due to his interest in the story he was reading.

Putting my hand down, I spoke, 'I'm having trouble picking out a book, do you have any recommendations?'

Albus' eyes shot up at the sound of my voice, 'uhhh.....w-what type of book w-were you t-thinking Of?' He stammered, getting up, still clutching to his own book and standing next to me to examine the shelf. Compare to me he was much shorter which made me fall for him a little more.

I smirked at his shyness, 'I'm not picky.'

'O-ok.' Albus made his way over to his bag that he'd left where he was sitting, he pulled something out of it before returning to me, 'here.'

Taking the book from him I read the title, 'The Tale Of Beedle the Bard?'

Albus nodded, before blushing, 'If you don't like it I can always-

'I'm sure I'll love it.' I interrupted, not wanting him to freak out, sitting down in the seat next to where he was sat, 'vhat's it about?'

Albus sat back down, 'Just some children's tales...but I rather like them,'

I put the book inside my own bag, 'I promise I'll read it...vhat are you reading?'
