Percy drifted through the day in relative quiet. On one level he was used to quiet, because he was not one for idle chit-chat; in fact, he wasn't quite sure how to make idle chit chat. At least not in the successful manner of others. But on the other hand, he worked in the Ministry, at the side of the Minister, and that was never quiet, for there was always something to be done and there were always people around.
The idle feeling he did not like. Percy had never been idle, not since he was small. There had always been schoolwork to fill up his time, studying, and his duties as Prefect and then Head Boy. And then his work at the Ministry. And here, here there was nothing.
But at least there was a library.
In his neatly pressed clothes and his impossibly tidy appearance, he made his way into the library. Percy loved libraries. He loved rows and rows of books and the scent of paper and ink. He loved the relative quiet that accompanied libraries. One was never expected to strike up conversation in a library, because it was a library (although this one had no librarian, which put that notion into some disarray as there would be no one to manage the quiet). Still, there were books.
He started to walk through the rows, quiet carefully and slowly, familiarizing himself with the layout. Blue eyes wandered over the spines of books (which occasionally he had to pause to push in and line up if they weren't in a straight line). Many titles were familiar, and he swelled inside as he always did when he recognized just how much he had read in his twenty-five years. That in itself was an accomplishment and Percy always noted his accomplishments.
He stepped along, looking for something to catch his particular interest at that moment.
