However, things seemed to go better than expected, and as he was asked more questions, the Hufflepuff nodded his head. "I'm starting my sixth year" he said, reaching for another book on the table. It wasn't one he needed, but it piqued his interest. "It's fine, those bags are mine. I left them there because it was inconvenient to carry them all while putting the books in a basket." He hadn't intended to trip someone with them; it was an honest mistake. "What books are you purchasing?"

Oh it was the boy's bag. Finn carefully disentangled himself so that this boy could get his things if he wanted. So hopefully nobody else would trip. It was a bookstore, after all, so there was nothing breakable and people might be less careful of their surroundings. "I see," he said cheerfully.

He held up the book he'd picked up. "I'm going to be a fifth year, so... um..." Finn consulted his list. "Standard Book of Spells, Grade 5, and Why I Didn't Die When the Augurey Cried." He frowned at that second title, curious about why a whole book was needed to answer that question. "You've taken your O.W.L.s, then? Were they...difficult?" He didn't quite mean difficult but really just wanted to know whether he needed to be worried now, or if he could be worried later. "Did you do well?"
