Location: Tattered Pages, Hogsmeade
Status: Public
Summary: Anthony spends an afternoon in the bookshop and runs into Cho.
Completion: Complete.

Anthony was crouched in the stacks, going methodically through the secondhand bookshop's selection of fiction. He'd rejected the majority of the novels so far as either too girly, too dry, or just too weird, but had found a couple of promising-looking titles, which were sitting on the floor beside him. He pulled a slim hardbound volume from the shelf and opened it, and inscribed in ink inside the cover was the name J. Marlinspike.

Once, Anthony might have scowled at this unexpected intrusion, but now he only gave a little huh and sat down cross-legged on the floor to have a look. Marlinspike was a smart bloke, after all, and likely pretty well-read.

After a few pages, Anthony was engrossed in the book. Something in the back of his mind nagged at him to pay for his books before he read them, but he ignored it and went on reading.
