But as he looked up from the display, he caught sight of a former classmate. Hey! She was dormmates with Jorgie, Babs, Holly, and ... Alis. It was strange how close he was (or had been, in some cases) to so many of the Slytherin girls in his year. Real odd. Even odder that he had formerly dated one, just to be currently dating another. Huh. He hadn't ever given it much thought before now, but... Where was he going with this? Oh, right. Honora! Jackson waved her way, but paused upon realizing she was no longer looking over anymore. Just as he was about to wonder why, he registered the clatter and clash of several bird cages. Oh, yikes.

And despite her efforts to ignore, Jackson hurried over to offer her a helping hand. "Weird place to put so many cages, huh? They've really got stuff all over the place." He smiled, laughing lightly in attempt to dissipate any embarrassment, should she be feeling it. "I just walked into the sneakoscope display. Ooft, amiright!?" She did recognize him, didn't she? Otherwise, this might be weird.

He wasn't terribly concerned either way, instead reaching for another one of the fallen cages.

Ohhh no. Honora flushed as she realized her former classmate had seen that graceful move and was coming over to help, too. Just her luck, too, that she'd knocked over something loud like these bird cages. His admission that he had just ran into the sneakoscopes only mildly lessened her embarrassment. It did not help that she couldn't remember his name, either.

She forced a smile as she stacked one of the smaller, more dented bird cages. "Yes," she agreed quietly. "It's a hazard, especially when clumsiness runs in the family."

She straightened a few more cages, glancing at him from behind her blonde hair. She definitely knew him. He had dated one of her friends or dormmates or something, the kind of knowing someone where they were introduced once early on, she hadn't been paying enough attention, and by the time she realized she should learn his name, it was too late to ask. She knew it wasn't Jake. Jack? Maybe?? Considering how mortified she already was, she supposed it was worth asking now. "It's...Jack? Right?" she asked. "What brings you to the junk shop?"
