Closed Books and Pages

[Cyrus Thorne]

Cyrus had grown to really love the library at Hogwarts, it was quiet and there were so many books on all kinds of different subjects. It was useful for studying, but it was also just fun to browse and pick out books that were interesting. He had spent many afternoons here last year, which was probably why he hadn't made that many friends in his first year. It was a rainy afternoon and Cyrus had grabbed a few poetry books he hadn't read yet, he then moved to the Charms section and grabbed a few books there as well, he liked being somewhat prepared for his classes. With his stack, he made his way over to a table and sat down. There was another boy there, also surrounded by books. He looked vaguely familiar to Cyrus, and he guessed he had seen him around in the common room. He gave him a quick smile. "First year, right?" He asked quietly, hoping the boy wouldn't mind the question too much.
