Just a short bit this time... This chapter was part of a challenge I gave myself to get myself writing again. I picked a word and pairing for each of the five senses to write one paragraph for, and this was Sound. Once again, these are not my characters; they belong to AngelJuliet who is now FoxFairy400... please read her story Snape's Lost Children before reading this if you haven't done so already. Also, this chapter really isn't quite Harry Potter fanfiction in itself, since it only contains original characters... but it's still an extension of SLC, ne? And a nother chapter of Brad-and-Jimmy-ness? So it fits? I think? Eh, I hope so.
Disclaimer: Brad and Jimmy belong to FoxFairy400 who was previously AngelJuliet and shall always be t3h amazing Mizuki-sama. But Brad unofficially belongs to me... And all Harry Potter things referenced belong to J. K. Rowling. Even though this chapter really doesn't contain any, methinks...
Note that this is considerably later than the last chapter, back within the timelines of SLC itself. Oh yes, and I warn you, this chapter does indeed contain shounen-ai, AKA male/male romantic relationships.

Solitude engulfed the two boys seated in a far corner of the library, the sheer silence seeming to create light years stretching between them. The younger of the two nervously glanced upward, but quickly diverted his eyes to the side. The gaze of the other hadn't shifted at all, still fixated on some nonexistent far-off object, as if looking through the wall. The first finally found the quiet unbearable and stuttered, "Ah, Brad, w-we should…" His voice faded as he found a finger pressed gently to his lips and eyes finally met. Smiling, the dark-haired teen replaced his finger with his lips in a soft kiss. When he pulled slowly away, a connection held between the two, and for that moment, they shared the understanding that actions really do speak louder than words.
