"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.
"You play Quidditch?" Mason asked curiously. He hadn't flown on a broom since his parents gave his broom to his nephew a few years ago. He had been okay with it after they explained but he still missed it sometimes. Of course he could use the school brooms but they weren't really....cool...you know? Plus they were nearly always used for classes for the younger students
"which position? I'm guessing keeper" he didn't know why.
Looking from the book to the guy, the Ravenclaw shook his head.
"I don't take Arithmancy, i choose Divination instead...something i'm regretting right now..." he added the last part in a mumble before he spoke up again and pointed at the book.
"But maybe i'm good at Arithmancy, what do you need to know?"
He waited for him to explain when he heard his name. Turning around, Mason had to refrain from laughing to see the Charms Professor dressed up as a Santa.
"Nice suit, sir" he said and was surprised when he was suddenly handed a letter. Eh?
"Uhm, Thanks?" he said and after the Professor was gone he opened up the letter. Who would write to him anyways?
Dora. He frowned slightly, deep in thought as he read the few words. Should he go to Hogsmeade with her? After what she had done? To be fair, he had tried to curse her as well but... this wasn't a joke right? What if he came to Hogsmeade and she never showed up? How humiliating. But for some reason he didn't think she would do that. Making a decision, Mason put the letter in his pocket. He would find Dora later to tell her he would go to Hogsmeade with her under one condition
That she paid for a butterbeer.
