"Do you need any help there?" he asked in a concerned manner, tilting his head slightly to the side as he approached him. He had overheard what the boy was trying to say. It had dawned on him that perhaps, seeing as he didn't look particularly unintelligent to Jude, he had seen many a person that didn't look intelligent but were perhaps more intellectual than the studious people.

"That's Hogwarts: A History. You'll need it for your History of Magic lessons" he informed him, picking that book off of the shelf and handing it over to him.

Tom wasn't expecting the shopkeeper to approach him and he looked up from the book on the shelf, startled. Usually when those words were uttered, it was a sublte way of saying, 'I've got my eye on you. Don't even think about taking anything.', but the man had a kindly face and his expression was placid, so Tom took no offence to being approached. In fact, he was grateful. It saved him from going to the counter and embarrassing himself in front of the line of kids there.

His eyes went back to the book. The man had heard him? He inwardly cringed. “I ain' stupid.” He replied, looking blankly at the title and blinking. His tone, however, was not aggressive, more like quietly apologetic. “I... I need the fird year books.” He added, his mannerism turning to almost sheepish as he took the book. He held out his supplies list to the man. “If yer don' mind pointin' me in the righ' direction.”
