I suppose if I could pick a favorite after astronomy, then it would be that." The large greenhouse and garden behind the school was breathtaking when it was in full bloom.
"It's a lovely place to read, the gardens." Nice and quiet. Until some of the more giggly, gossiping girls had to come around and ruin it.
"Do you not like animals?" Norah asked curiously. If not, then Simon would be the second boy she met that didn't like them. Unless it was not required for Simon's future career, that was understandable.
She pulled out a copy of Numbers and the Meaning of Life: Advanced Arithmancy by Perseus Pythagoras, "This?" Simon found himself following suite and setting his own borrowed pile to the ground so he could look. He certainly didn’t want to mix the collected books up between them. Going back to his search, his still listened attentively to her answer, even if his gaze wasn’t on Norah. “Well hopefully you’ll like the herbology class at Hogwarts. Professor Dodson is very knowledgeable and a good teacher and the grounds are nice too,” he replied thinking back to the classes of previous years.
”No…its not that I don’t, it’s just that I have to start narrowing down my focus,” he admitted, noticing her apprehension at the thought he didn’t like animals even though he didn’t know why he felt the need to assure her. “Well at least I think I do. Don’t really want to stretch myself too thin when it comes to study time,” he added looking over at the offered title and nodding, accepting the book for his collection.
