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. Henry gave the Ravenclaw a grin, glad to see the other boy wasn't grouchy about him almost running into him. One never did know when another might have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed or something. "Yeah, thanks!" Maybe he should have just shoved his book back in his bag with his other things, but it somehow seemed easier this way. "Those reflexes come in handy when I'm playing Quidditch," he added with a chuckle. Over the summer of course, since he had no opportunity to play it while he was in school.
And it was good to know that he wasn't the only one who could get distracted and not pay attention. He knew it could cause him trouble sometimes, but he really couldn't help it. Oh! Henry held up his book so the other boy could see the title. "It's just my Arithmancy textbook. I was doing a little extra work.." Which was why he was on this floor in the first place as he spent a little time in the practice room. He probably could have done the same in the library or in his common room, but he thought he could benefit from using the materials there. Plus he was hoping to see if Professor Greyvson was around.
"Do you take Arithmancy? I'm not really following some of the new material." And he actually like the number and calculation parts of it. It was just this weird alternative method that the professor seemed to be fond of that he was having trouble with. And if that sort of thing was going to be on the OWL, he needed to understand it better.
