Nevertheless, she replied with a quiet, "I guess that's possible." And blushed, once Simon mentioned her book.

"Oh, erm...nothing much, just spotted an image of Triton. One that was taken with a muggle spacecraft called Voyager 2... it's an interplanetary space probe." She quietly closed the book and added, "Of course, the image is rather old, there are lots of newer ones now." Something was suddenly brought to her attention. "Do you have book shopping to do as well?" She didn't mean to be eating up all of Simon's time, her voice sounded apologetic. And since he had helped her..."There are a few fifth year books in this shelf here still." Norah tilted her head to the bookshelf behind her.

Simon didn't quite catch her moment of embarrassment as she blinked at him before quickly covering up her reaction. While not oblivious to things of that nature, his attention just wasn’t on it enough to register to the fifth year. He did notice the blushing however and turned his gaze slightly away from her, thinking it cause by his attention.

"Well it is still somewhat interesting," he remarked listening to the description of her discovery amongst the pages of the book. Granted astronomy wasn't his favorite subjects but it did hold a few fascinating things. When the attention was brought to him, Simon gave a gentle one-armed shrugs, careful not to jostle the pile of books in his arms.

“Well I’ve already picked up several at other times…wasn’t sure of anymore just came in to possibly browse unless I stumbled across ones I needed,” he assured her taking note of her apologetic smile. He certainly didn’t want to make her feel bad that she was taken books he technically need as well. “Then that’s good for both of us,” the Gryffindor boy added glancing at the shelf beside them to try and notice any familiar titles.
