That was basically what he was trying to get across. "And they don't even have to be unhappy with their lives; they could just wanna get into a good story."
The lion tapped his fingers upon the cover of his Where The Wild Things Are book and glanced around. "Anyone in need of a partner?" Paulie was quite a good actor, ya know.
Adarian smiled, man the older Gryffindor took the words right out of his mouth. He looked too his own book thoughfully, "I was thinking along his lines too." He jerked his thumb to the older boy in question. "When we are younger we read and it expands and fits our already rampant imaginations. As we get older we can escape into a book when the going gets tough and just forget for a while."
He then walked over to the older Gryffindor, "Still need a partner?" He fiddled with the hem of his right sleeve. This guy was sooo much taller than him, darn his smallish first year size.
