Her jumping became more erradic and annoyed until she finally heard a voice great her.
She paused like a child caught with a piece of candy at the sound of his voice. She had been caught in the act of jumping up and down for a book like an idiot. It was one of the more embarassing things she had been caught doing in a very long time. But it was not the jumping and getting caught that made the situation awkward. It was the voice. That voice was one that Selina knew well because of... well... everything. Slowly she turned around and gave him a side smile, "Oh erm, hello Lewis."
The last time the two had really spoken it had been under very difficult circumstances. He and Kurumi had been in a rough patch because Kurumi was in a rough patch. Selina, being the best friend of the female party, had to go and deliver very difficult news to the Hufflepuff prefect. That was really the last time the two of them had spoken. She wasn't sure if that conversation made them friends, but she certainly respected him. Besides, he had serious brownie points for pulling Kurumi out of the darkness like he had. She was afraid for her friend and he was helping to fix her although it was both Kurumi and Lewis' fault that the whole thing transpired but that was beside the point.
Then she looked back up at the book and nodded, "Yes, please. It's the Herbology and Transfig origins books, please." The bloody book was a lot more trouble than it was worth. Selina looked surprised to say the least when he addressed her. Surprised and...there was something else too, something Lewis couldn't quite put his finger on. The way she froze at first, almost as if she'd been caught doing something she shouldn't be doing. Only she wasn't right? No, she was only trying to get that book down. At least it looked like that. So why was she acting like that? Though, at least she hadn't in any way implied that he should leave her alone. Which was good. He had kind of grown to like Selina, despite her being the bearer of bad news. Or she had been anyway. Still, he really didn't want to make this awkward or anything.
Or even more awkward than it already was, actually.
Lewis followed her gaze towards the book before taking those last few steps into her direction which brought them right next to her. Nodding slowly at her description, he reached up - holding onto to the bookshelf with his other hand for balance - and pulled the book out from between the others. Why he didn't just use his wand, he didn't really know, either and so when she'd asked him for help, he had just helped her with what she'd been doing. Which was trying to get the book down without her wand. And yes, right in that moment this actually made sense to Lewis.
Once he had the book safely in both of his hands, Lewis turned to face Selina again with a slightly hesitant smile on his lips. "There you go." Offering the book to her, the Hufflepuff waited for her to take it while trying hard not to get too anxious thinking about what was going to happen once she had taken the book. Which he didn't know. And it strangely made him a little nervous.
