Shakespeare

Two eyebrows raised into the air, a book laid out in front of two fifteen year olds. They both turned their heads to the other, and as if mentally communicating, burst out laughing.

"It's… well, it's in English, but it may as well be written in Spanish for as much of that as I understood," said the red-head boy.

His companion, a pale, blond boy, nodded, grinning. "I don't speak Spanish."

They burst out into a fit of giggles, silencing quickly when a shhh echoed around the library.

"Who reads this crap?" asked the red-head, flicking through a few pages. "Hamlet?"

The blond shrugged. "Obviously some, or it wouldn't be here." He lowered his voice. "Madam Pince probably treats it like romance novels."

They laughed again.

"Hermione, probably," the red-head spluttered. "She'd like this."

They shared a look, biting back another fit of giggles as Madam Pince wandered by, eyeing them suspiciously. When she'd passed, they returned the Shakespeare book to its place and left the library.

Once out the blond turned to his companion. "What is it tomorrow?" he asked.

"Maybe try to Herbology greenhouses," the red-head said, and the blond nodded.

"See you tomorrow."

They turned in opposite directions, each heading to their respective common rooms, but grinning as they did so.

Every day was always a new adventure.
