I sighed as I walked into the library. "This is Moony's place..." I mutter and go and sit on a chair next to a table. there was a large, old, dusty book on the table. I sighed and opened it skimming the pages. "What do they see in reading?" I mutter again and look around the library.

Lily walked into the library, stopping to smile at and wish good morning the librarian then making her way over to her favourite table at the back.
She got out her favourite book and opened it on the table in front of her, smiling to herself. This was her favourite place in the world.
Glancing up to check the time, she saw Potter on the other side of the room. A slight frown played across her brow, James Potter, in a library? Something is seriously wrong.
She often came across Remus in the library and sometimes stopped to talk to him, but she'd never seen Potter, Black or Pettigrew in here before.
Sinking slightly lower in her chair, she carried on reading, hoping he wouldn't see her but knowing if he even glanced in this direction he'd spot her red hair.

i looked back down at the book. "hogwarts; a history.." i mutter reading the title. "lily's read this book..." i say and actually try and read the book. i got through to the third paragraph. "dear lord how can someone read this?" i ask myself a bit louder, "more importantly why?" i sigh. "lily. remeber lily. lily likes reading. try what lily likes. she has to like it for a reason...." i say and try reading it again

Lily heard him from across the room and sunk lower in her chair, hiding an amused laugh behind her hand.
It was almost sweet, how hard he was trying.

i kept trying and got as far as the third page. "i'm not meant to read.." i sigh and look at th titles of the different chapters. "why would someone care about the ceiling in the great hall?" i mutter then go to close teh book, but stop myself. "lily. lily. lily. lily." i say and see her face in my mind. a small smile goes across my face then i look back down at the book. "third times a charm.." i mutter and go to reading again. "maybe third times isn't a charm." i say and look up and around again. i spot bright red hair across the room and smile. i stay seated just looking over at her wth a small smile

Having heard no sighs or book closing for a moment, Lily chanced a glance up to see him smiling over at her.
She sunk down a little lower, giving him a half smile back, then hiding her face behind her book again.

She held up her muggle novel, "One of my mum's favourites. What were you struggling through over there?"

"Philosophy, mostly. I don't think it's your sort of thing. But I wouldn't know. I haven't seen you in here before."

Lily stifled a laugh, "If you stop and say good morning, she doesn't tend to do that as much. I still get looks like that sometimes though."

"She might get used to you if you came here more often. But right now, I doubt she's ever seen you before. Doesn't trust you with her precious books."

Lily sighed, putting a hand to her forehead in an exasperated kind of way.
"Why would you do that James?" She asked, fighting the small smile tugging at her lips, "What did those poor defenceless books ever do to you?"

"made my head hurt that's what they did. but the really old books let out more of a flame. i think one of the flames was green." i smile

"Maybe you should stick to what you enjoy rather than forcing yourself to read then. Then you won't be tempted to destroy centuries worth of recreational history." She suggested.

"but you like reading and i like you so i thought 'eh, why not give it a try?' and destroying books. that's just fun. drowning a book is even more fun." i smile

Lily sighed, "Just because you like someone doesn't mean you have to like what they like, James. And destroying books? Please tell me that's not a hobby of yours."

"i never said i liked it. when you like someone you try the things they like. i tried and still can't see why you like it." i chuckle, "and no it's not a hobby. just a five-time-thing."

Lily shook her head slightly, "Fine, granted. I have to give you the fact you are persistent. I would have expected you to give up with trying to like reading after the third paragraph or so."

Lily couldn't help but smile, patting him on the forearm, "Well done, James." She said, hint of a joke playing in her voice.
