Contains: A lot of talk about books being the best thing ever; author’s shameless use of characters to explain why books are the best thing ever; books, basically.

I really enjoyed this one! The writing was beautiful, and I LOVE bookish!Draco. Especially when it comes with a side of glasses!Draco. :D

Harry hadn’t meant to follow him. Well, okay, he had, because he’d gone upstairs to his dorm room and collected the map and the cloak, and then followed the little label on the map all the way here, invisible and silent as possible, so the following thing would probably look a little premeditated to an outsider, but he truly hadn’t meant to.

LOL! I loved this part, and there were so many other lines that I thought were just perfect.

Really enjoyable read and I adored the ending. :D
