With certain thoughts in mind, the fifteen year old headed down the corridor after he finished his Arithmancy studies for the day. He was slightly worried that this new material he didn't quite understand was going to be on the OWLs, so he felt he could benefit from extra practice. With that done, he was headed to the kitchen. But as he started to round the corner, he nearly bumped into a boy coming around the corner in the opposite direction.
"Oh, hey, sorry, friend," he chuckled as he caught the book trying to slip from his grasp as he quickly shifted out of the way. "Guess I had my mind on other things." Well, that was pretty typical of Henry on most days. But no harm done right?
Whenever he was in his own thoughts, he blocked out everything around him and had therefore he had not heard the footsteps coming from round the corner towards him until it was too late. Well, nearly too late because the guy he had almost bumped in to managed to catch his book before it hit the ground.
"Nice reflexes" he said as he looked at the title of the book. Arithmancy. Not his most enjoyable subject to be honest. But it beats Divination.
It was also odd to see someone else walking around with a book in their hands. He had always thought that he was the only odd one who did that. Funnily enough, he had no book with him this time as he had left his bag in the common room. Mason then looked up to look at the guy and he guessed he was about his age.
"It's okay, i know the feeling" he said with a small smile.
"What are you reading?" he asked. He already knew as he had seen the title but he needed a conversation starter or else this would be awkward.
