Sanity is totally overrated

This was the first time since forever that Darian Levski came to the school library. He wasn't here because of himself, of course, but because Charlotte asked him to take some books for her. Of course, he immediately said yes. The truth was, his crush on Charlotte was the open secret.
And Charlotte knew that. That is why she was acting like if he was her own minion.
But he had a plan. He would be there for her whenever she needed him and once when she realize Christian isn't the guy for her, Darian would take his chance.

But let's go back to the reality.
He was in the library and he had no idea how to find those books. He was sure that he can lose his way in that maze of shelves of books so he decided to stay next to the door, thank you very much.

He looked at him and saw that Ravenclaw boy, Ezra.
"Hey, you" he almost yelled and got the disapproving look from Sebastian, the librarian.

"Can you help me to find these books?" Ravenclaws would always help you, right?

Ezra was in the library doing his homework at first but he had finished it already for awhile ago. So he was now reading there some other book what wasn't even school related.

He just loved it how quiet it was here in the library most of the times. So he spent most of his time here actually. Anyways awhile reading his book someone asked if he can help him finding some books.

He looked up from his book towards the boy. He figured the boy who did speak with him was Darian. If he wasn't wrong then he was from Slytherin house and same year as himself.

"So what books you need to find?" he asked there now. "I guess I can help you. I know where most of the books are here yes. I guess should spend more time out of this place," he said mostly to himself but probably Darian still did hear him too.

[I was just too lazy to think about names for books]

If you say that Darian was lost and confused in the library, that wouldn't be the best description. The truth was, he felt like if he was in the one big maze and he wasn't sure how to hell was he supposed to find his way back.

But that boy, Ezra looked like he spends a lot of his time here so maybe he was the right person to help him.
Darian had the vision where Charlotte would just fall in love with him once when he bring her all these books but that was probably just his imagination.
Lottie knows him. And she knows that he was never in the library before.

"Thank you man, you saved me. Here" he gave him a little paper with names of four books. "Those are books. If you can help me, I will owe you, man." Darian looked at the Ravenclaw boy with expectation written all over his face.

[It's okay]

Ezra waited there until the boy answered his question. He had no idea why Darian seemed to need those books on the list.

He looked at the list and the at boy. "Why you even need those books?" he asked since these weren't school books for sure. Ravenclaw boy had never even seen Darian read any book in his free time. So this list didn't make any sense to him.

"But yes I know where you can find them. So just follow me," he said there with a small smile on his face. He just found it interesting there. Also, why not help the person out when you can. He glanced over his own book and stood up.

He looked around for a bit and tried to figure out where Slytherin boy needed books were.

[Aethe gave me the permission to use her character, Sebastian as an NPC]

Darian looked at Ezra with shock written all over his face.
"What? For me?" He wasn't even aware of the fact that he was too loud until Sebastian looked at him with another angrily look.

"Keep it quiet there," he said and Darian looked at the librarian acting to actually be sad.
"I'm so sorry, I will be careful from now" Darian gave him one of those smiles and the librarian finally leave him alone.

"Those books are not for me, of course," Darian finally looked at Ezra once again.
"Those are for Charlotte. I think you know her since you are both Ravenclaws. Charlotte Waldorf" he smiled while thinking about redhead Ravenclaw. Yeah, Darian really likes her.

"She asked me to bring those book to her" he started walking beside Ezra while the boy was collecting books.

"So, what do you do in your free time? Please don't say me that this is your free time?" He looked at Ezra with expectation.

Ezra just rolled the eyes on the Darian reaction there. Well, the boy was loud for sure. He didn't say anything about it and just began to soon collect the needed books when he had found the right shelf where they were.

"Well I figured yeah by list these books aren't really for you," he said. "Oh, her. Yes, I know her actually. She is year younger even if I'm right. Haven't really talked with her before but have seen her around for sure. Lately, she seems to be even more social than ever," he said. Well, people seemed to notice her all of sudden more than before.

"She asked you bring her some books because she was busy or you offered the help?" he asked there now. He didn't still get why Darian did all this for sure.

He soon had collected the all books in the list. "My free time hmm... well if you want an honest answer then I have to say yes. I spent it here or then in common room," he answered the question. There was no point to lie about it. Even if he was sure this wasn't answer the other boy probably was hoping to hear.

"Oh, here you go. Your books. No, wait, Charlotte's," he said and offered them to the boy.

"What, you want to say that I am not smart enough for those freaking books?" Darian frowned and looked at the Ravenclaw boy.
That was one thing and probably one he hated about Ravenclaws. They just think that they are all smarter than others.
But the thing they didn't know for sure was the fact that all about grades won't gave them the best job. Their grades will mean nothing once when they get out of the castle. people like Darian would get the jobs. Those who are rich and purebloods, people that have surname everyone knows. Everyone heard about Levski family and about this boy... Well, no one actually.

"She is one year older than us, she is the sixth year," Darian said immediately. He knows everything about Charlotte. Someone may even think that was obsession but he knew better, everything will help him once when she finally realize that Zabini boy wasn't the right one for her. He would even be prepared to become the blood traitor for her.

"I offered my help of course. I am the gentleman after all" Darian shook his head and took the books from Ezra.

"Dude, that is just pathetic. You can't just spend all of your time here, it's not healthy. I can swear I read somewhere about that" he said and put books on the librarian's table.

"Look, you helped me here, so I would help you as well. Meet me in the great hall in five minutes. I would give these books to Charlotte and then I'll show you how you should act in your free time."

"No, it didn't mean you aren't smart enough. Just that I can't see you read some of them. I suck at explaining this so let's just drop it," he said and shook his head. He wasn't even sure what he tried to say at the end.

To be honest Ezra has no idea even what he wants to do in future. He is sure he can find himself a job too for sure if he just looks for it. It's not handed on silver or gold plate for sure.

He didn't really care that much about Charlotte for sure. He wasn't really interested in any girl. He just wanted to enjoy his books and enjoy his times alone.

He did follow the other boy to the librarian. When he heard what Darian said there now. He wasn't even sure if he should take the boys offer or not.

"That's who I am," he mumbled there to himself. He didn't really care that much about it. Well, so many have said he was pathetic and spend most of his time reading.

"Uh well. Fine. I guess there is no in saying I'm sensing. So let's do that. I'll just go and grab my things. Basically we end up heading some way."

Darian nodded. That is the only thing he was supposed to do. He will drop out that talk. Mostly because he really wasn't smart enough for those books. Probably.

"Fine, let's go then. By annoying librarian" he said with a smile written all over his face. Librarian just frowned. It was really easy to leave him speechless.

Once when he was in front of the common room he frowned. of course Ravenclaws had the puzzle to open the doors. They just can't be like normal people and have the password.

"Charlotte! Sunshine open the doors!" He yelled until Charlotte opened the doors.
He totally forgot that Ezra is there. He couldn't even hear him because his freaking heart was pounding so hard. Charlotte was so beautiful, even if she didn't want to look beautiful.

"Thank you, Darian, you saved me" Charlotte smiled to him. Of course, she knew that Darian likes her, that is why it was so easy to make him do whatever she wants.

"Always. See you later sweetheart." That was the moment he finally realized Ezra was there.
"Five minutes. Great hall" he just said and left.

Ezra just rolled his eyes there now. He might be smart but there was even times where he managed to lool like idiot. Mostly when it was talking with other people. He wasn't good at it for sure.

He didn't say anything to library and did just follow Darian towards his own common room. Where he had access actually. Before he could even say that he noticed that Charlotte did open the door there.

He just waited there so he could get in. He was sure Darian had totally forget he was there too. He did notice how he looked at her. He wasn't stupid. He knew most signs of having crush on someone. He has always watched people from sidelines.

Anyways when he was finally noticed there he sighed. The ravenclaw boy had no idea what Slytherin boy planned to do after that with him. "Yeah sure," he said and walked in the common room before the door closed.

He put his books soon after that into his room on his bed. After it was done he walked out of common room again. And after that he began to walk towards Great Hall. It was where he said they should meet. He soon reached there and took deep breath before he walked in.
