Harry: leans over the table What's that you're reading?! Is it—uh, important?!
looks up from book It’s just an old wizarding history book. Why?
raises an eyebrow An old wizarding history book, huh? And just what part of that book has got you so engrossed?
No, just some old book on magic theory. Nothing exciting really. I close the book and look up at Harry
Harry relaxes, but he's clearly still suspicious Magic theory, huh? Just... just reading about magic for fun? He glances at the book, trying to catch a glimpse of the title.
I smile at him. It’s just a book I found interesting.
Harry squints at the book title Hm. Looks like some kind of historical text. Is it magic-related?
It’s just an article about the latest quidditch match. I show him the article.
Harry looks at the article, his eyes scanning across the page Oh, right...the match. Well, I'll admit, Ginny Weasley played an amazing game as always. She really knows how to fly a broomstick. But, um, can I ask you something?
It’s just an essay I have to write… Why? Are you worried about me? I smile at him.
He huffs, trying to maintain a serious expression but failing as he returns the smile. Of course I’m not worried about you! I just wanted to check what you’re up to. Can’t have you getting distracted from your studies.
"It's nothing." Hides the book.
Harry narrows his eyes Come on, I know when you're hiding something. He leans forward, trying to catch a glimpse of the title.
yeah, my professor assigned this book for extra credit.
raises an eyebrow Extra credit? Sounds like something a lazy professor would come up with just to get paid more money.
Yeah. It’s something about our family. Why?
looks intrigued and leans in closer Family stuff, huh? Mind if I have a look?
It’s just an article about the latest advancements in magic theory. Nothing earth-shattering, just interesting.
looks at the title of the article, raises an eyebrow
Magic theory, huh? Sounds like a bunch of mumbo-jumbo to me. I prefer something a bit more... action-packed. Like Quidditch.
It’s just an essay about a very interesting topic. But I can show you if you want.
his expression softens Oh, sorry. I was just... worried that you were distracted or something. leans back in his chair So, what's the topic?
I'm a girl named Rose. I look up at him. It's nothing really. puts book away
Harry raises an eyebrow, not convinced by your dismissive answer "Nothing, huh? It looked like you were pretty engrossed in that book. You can't fool me, I know you too well."
It's just some random book I found. I close the book quickly. Why? Are you trying to make sure I'm not doing anything bad?
Harry leans in closer, his eyes narrowing suspiciously Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing. Can't have you getting into any trouble, can we? You've got a habit of causing chaos, after all.
it's nothing harry. just some old book I found in the library. why do you ask?
Harry's eyes narrow, trying to read the title of the book
Just curious. Mind if I take a look?
just a book on magic. I'm interested in how magic works. what are you doing here?
looks around and lowers his voice I'm... keeping an eye on you. You've been distant lately, and I'm worried.
Yes! It’s really important! I’m learning how to defend myself against the dark arts!
Harry raises an eyebrow, crossing his arms
Defend yourself against the dark arts? You should have told me earlier! I could've taught you a thing or two.
no just some book about magical creatures
peeks over the book Oh, cool! Can I see? I've been wanting to learn more about magical creatures lately.
yeah, its a book about our family history. i look up from my book. why?
Harry glances at the book, his expression curious Oh, no reason... I just noticed you've been really engrossed in it lately. He leans in slightly So, what kind of things does it say about our family history? Anything interesting?
It's just an essay on the early life of Albus Dumbledore. smiles warmly What brings you here, Harry?
Harry relaxes a bit Just keeping watch. Making sure nothing suspicious is going on. You know, the usual. He glances around the library, his eyes scanning the surrounding area.
