However he was about to answer when the felt a tap on his shoulder and turned a little to see Selina there, the fourth year smiling in amusement at the name and title she gave him.
"Yes..." he answered his friend, "yes you may." Remembering the other girl Gideon turned back looking appologetic. "Sorry...I had actually been looking for her," he appologized, not registering how it might sound to his fellow Gryffindor however true it was.
Selina smiled broadly when he accepted her offer as partner. She seriously did not want to pair up with anyone she didn't know and her and Gideon had been spending a lot of time together as of late. He was a logical option and besides she liked to mess with his hair. It was a win-win situation for the little redhead.
Then she watched him turn around to a Ravenclaw and decline her offer. Suddenly Selina felt awful. She didn't know that someone had already asked Gideon to be partners. If she knew she would have never had come over. That was too rude to do to a person. As she was about to tell Gideon and the girl to be partners and excuse her rude interruption Gideon said something about Selina being the one he was looking for. She had no idea why but she blushed at the comment. That was really sweet that he thought of her as a good enough friend to seek her out.
Once he was done with the girl she said to him,
"That was nice of you to say, but I wish I had known someone else had asked you. I would have let you partner up with her. But thank you for the compliment." Then she shook off the meloncoly and asked,
"So, um, now what do we do?"
