Word count: 322
When he was young and still human, the library had been Remus Lupin's favourite place to be. He loved the smell of the books and the hushed air that was always present in a library. There was so much knowledge and so many adventures lying in wait at the library, he loved searching it all out and telling his father everything he had learned that day.
When he was bitten and turned into a werewolf, the library became a sanctuary for him. They hadn't changed, the smell and the hushed air were still there though now he could really smell the books. Every time he walked into a library, he would take a deep breath and the smell of so many books would calm him down instantly.
When he arrived at Hogwarts, the library took a back seat as he got to know the three boys who shared his dormitory and tried to limit James' and Sirius' pranking to a minimum. They didn't really like the library, it was too quiet for them and they much preferred to be outside where they could run around and James could play with his practice snitch.
Luckily, he found someone who did enjoy the library as much as he did. Her name was Lily Evans, and James had a huge crush on her. Remus liked her because she smelt nice and she liked to spend quiet time in the library with him as they studied. Occasionally, James would join them in an effort to get closer to Lily; but he would always get bored and wander off.
Remus loved the library, and he always would. There was nothing like being surrounded by knowledge and adventures written on pages that smelt like heaven to calm him down. If something upset Remus Lupin, the first place his friends looked was the library and there he'd be, nose deep in a fascinating new tale of fact or fiction.
