Moving Slow
The library is so quiet. That is what I love about it. There is something about the way I walk in and am enveloped in silence and the warmest atmosphere I have ever felt, that I am obsessed with. Every couple of days, I come to just walk around and look at everything. I'll go around and pick a random book, and sit for hours and read. Everything just fades away. I love reading here. It feels like I get transported to a new, different world. Whether it's a fantasy island, or a dystopian universe where everything has gone wrong, or just a different version of our world today, I love it. I think the Hogwarts library is the perfect place to do this. The smell of cinnamon and new books, the sound of pages turning, and the bustle of people walking is the most amazing coat of happiness. There is a place I like to sit, in the back corner of the library, away from all conversation and hustle of Hogwarts life. I sit back here for hours, sometimes late into the night right before curfew, losing myself in a new novel. Life moves slow in this library, and it is my favorite speed.
