Between The Lines.

“That's easy. If I could be anything I wanted I'd be a book.”

Ron gaped.
“Why would you choose something so boring when you could be a time-turner, a refillable cookie-jar or, even better, the Quidditch World-Cup prize?  Books are just... Ewww!”

Harry laughed:
“Hermione will have your head for saying that.”

“She's too busy gushing over the Arithmancy encyclopedia that your git has been raving about since...  Oh!”

“Ron...”

“You're jealous of Severus' books?  That's bonkers, mate!”

“It's the way he looks at them, like they're all he needs or something.”

“He looks at you like that, too, Harry...”

Personally, if Harry *has* to be jealous of something, one of Severus' books is wise choice. It was also surprising to me that Ron noticed Severus looks at Harry the same way he does his books. I'd be less surprised if it was Hermione who made the comment, but I suppose she was too entranced by that Arithmancy encyclopedia...

Well done, pekeleke!

LOL. I'm glad that you can see the sense in Harry's jealousy of Severus' books and, although I suppose that Hermione would have been the perfect choice to tell Harry how Severus looks at him, I was playing with the idea that probably Ron has felt the same sort of jealousy, too, and therefore is better suited than his girlfriend to understand Harry's plight... ;)

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this drabble. Thanks so much for your lovely and detailed comment. Seeing this piece through your eyes was a wonderful experience. :)
