Priceless
read at rue16
There's a small bookstore near Wiltshire that sells priceless first-editions to people like Lucius Malfoy. Severus invariably wanders towards it and stares at its brightly-lit window with a hunger that has always puzzled Harry.
“These books look... old.”
“They are.”
“Are they any good?”
“Probably.”
“You've never read them?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“I could never afford them.”
“Why don't you ever go in, then? You could blow serious money on them now.”
“That would shatter the youthful dream they represent. I don't have many of those left to cherish, Harry.”
“Shattering youthful dreams... You're right. We definitely can't afford that.”
