A brown haired handsome young man dressed in shades of blue with a satchel on his shoulder, walked down a pathway towards a little town.

BEAU:
Little town it's a quiet village
Everyday like the one before
Little town full of little people waking up to say

TOWN'S PEOPLE:
Bonjour, Bonjour
Bonjour, Bonjour, Bonjour

BEAU:
There goes the baker with his tray like always
The same old bread and rolls to sell
Every morning just the same, since the morning that we came
To this poor provincial town

"Good morning Beau." The baker greeted as the brown-eyed boy stopped by his shop.

"Morning Monsieur." Beau greeted politely.

"Where are you off to?"

"The bookshop. I just finished the most wonderful story. About a beanstalk and an ogre and…"

"That's nice." The baker said ignoring him. "Marie the baguettes! Hurry up!"

Beau shrugged and walked away.

TOWN'S PEOPLE:
Look there he goes that boy is strange no question
Dazed and distracted can't you tell
Never part of any crowd, cause his head's up on some cloud
No denying he's a funny boy that Beau
Bonjour, Good day, how is your family?
Bonjour, Good day, how is your wife?
I need six eggs, that's too expensive

BEAU:
There must be more than this provincial life

Beau jumped off the carriage and opened the door to the bookshop.

"Ah Beau!" The bookseller greeted, delighted to see the young man.

"Good morning. I've come to return the book I borrowed." Beau said handing the book to the old man.

"Finished already?" He asked not surprised.

"Oh I couldn't put it down. Have you got anything new?" Beau asked browsing through the bookshelf.

"Not since yesterday." The bookseller said amused.

"That's alright. I'll borrow……this one." He took a book from the top shelf.

"That one? But you've read it twice already."

"Well it's my favorite. Far off places, daring sword fights, magic spells, a prince in disguise." Beau said passionately sliding with the ladder across the bookshelves.

"Well if you like it all that much, it's yours." The bookseller said as Beau came down from the ladder.

"But sir…"

"I insist!" Beau walked up to the door not noticing the women who lustfully stared at him from the window.

"Well thank you. Thank you so much!"

TOWN'S PEOPLE:
Look there he goes that boy is so peculiar
I wonder if he's feeling well
With a dreamy far off look and his nose stuck in a book
What a puzzle to the rest of us is Beau

BEAU:
Oh isn't this amazing?
It's my favorite part because you'll see
Here's where he gets the Marauder's map
But he must solemnly swear he's up to no good for it to work
