He failed this attempt, of course.
Nodding over to her book to divert the attention from himself, he asked with his eyebrows raised, "The question is... are you?" Now that he thought about it, she did look quite frustrated, and the copy of 'Potions for Dummies' behind her basically told him flat out, why. He was no potions wiz, but he passed it without too much trouble. It was mostly following directions, and after living with his mother for fourteen years, he knew how to do exactly what he was told. It was either that, or a painful consequence.
Selina, on the other hand, was completely rubbish at it. The entire school knew that. At least, everyone he knew her did, and she was fairly popular around this place. "Do you erm.... need... help?"
Selina's eyes flickered down to the potions book in her hand and shook her head no at his question. She was okay. She did not need any help in this subject presently because she decided that it was rubbish. No need to worry about the class if she did not want to deal with it. That much was something she was very concrete about. Or at least she attempted to be concrete about. Actually, she had no idea why she even attempted to study the material. It was sort of a hopeless feat.
"No thanks," she said,
"I'm good. I've kind of given up anyway so its fine." Then she finally got a good look at Christopher and she chuckled under her breath. He looked extremely perturbed since his fall. Everything looked sort of out of place and so she asked trying to muffle a chuckle,
"Hey... you, um, sure your okay there?"
Her hand pat the seat next to her to gesture that it was okay for him to sit,
"So what have you been up to?"
