VI.
Biblichor [Eng.]After a while Vernon was already in another floor. He passed by a few people who didn't matter for him. He walked through the library thinking about everything and anything. A lot of questions crossed his mind. How? Why? But at the same time he just wanted to keep traveling, he wanted to get into every possible story. He wanted to discover everything. But little he'd discover watching a quidditch match. What a coincidence to open the book to that exact page.
He stayed there for a while, watching the match. He looked at everything around him, every little detail. It felt amazing being there. But what caught his attention the most wasn't de Golden Snitch, not at all. What caught his eyes was a blonde boy. He shouldn't be there, he wasn't part of the story. Did he also come from the library? Was he one of those people he saw before? Did he came there from an unknown library from another part of the world? The last possibility seemed quite imposible. That boy made Vernon's brain to work on a different level, nothing seemed to matter anymore but him. He needed to get to know him.
Suddenly the boy turned to Vernon's direction, maybe he felt his stare. When their eyes met, he smiled a little, he probably noticed that Vernon wasn't part of the story either. That smile turned down the decision Vernon may had. For a second he was determined to go and talk to him, but what was for sure was that he already went back to the library. He get out because of... fear? He felt his heart racing inside his chest.
-Vernon, what are you doing? -he slapped himself to relax- He's just a boy who get in the book the same way you did, it's no big deal -talking to himself wasn't the best option, people often think he had some kind of issue, but for him it help to make his mind up.
He walked away looking for a different book. Until now his day was a bit intense. He wasn't sure if he enjoyed it or not, but it made him curious, so he continued exploring.
After a while he was inside of a graphology textbook. Some word were floating around him, with little schemes around them. On a common situation, it wasn't the kind of book you read to distract yourself, but it was the opposite from common. Words kept appearing every now and them and they'd stay there, floating. It seemed like a calligraphy forest and in that moment, it was the most peaceful place Vernon could've found. The problem was that as much as peaceful this place was, his mind was a hurricane of thoughts about that boy. He just saw him for a few seconds and now he couldn't take him off his mind. Thinking about how he looked at everything around him, about his smile and about the sweetness in his eyes.
Vernon then decided to get out of the book and of the library, wanting to come back. Will he meet this mysterious guy again? Would they meet inside another book or through the aisles? Both options seemed to be quite unlikely. However, he'll find him again.
