Albus had just felt eyes on him when Helga turned toward Arianna. He waved at his friend and shot her what he hoped was a reassuring smile. He stepped over his mess so he was closer to Arianna. "I nearly ran poor Ari over with my bicycle one day," he told Helga. He shrugged. "At home my parents say I have my head in the cloud." They didn't mean it in a bad way, but Albus' lack of attention got him in trouble more than once while growing up. Like he told Ginny once, he was sure he only managed Quidditch because lack of focus there meant a giant fall of doom. "You don't have to!" He rushed on as he scooped to gather things. "I was just reading and working on some stories." All at once.
