Would it be too inconfident to ask whether he was interrupting his plans or anything?
"No problem," Tobias smiled, and stood by until Forrest had come through, at which point he started walking again, gently veering towards the Hufflepuff table with his fellow first year. And then...
Oh.
After paying to get in, Tobias was always hopeful that there would be a change in the Great Hall. You know... the table a bit cleaner, the food a bit more palatable. But no. Same as usual.
"You'd think, given that we're paying, the we'd at least get some awesome food. My grandfather said the food was awesome." Tobias felt quite betrayed. He stopped at a place at the dusty table and looked slightly, but obviously, grossed out like always in here, and looked to Forrest to see if he was happy (content? not completely against?) sitting here too.
