But Forrest wouldn't be able to make it there ever, and he doubted he could ever fit in Hogwarts too.

His face had hardened while listening to Tobias. It wasn't directed at Tobias though, it more directed at his own parents for being muggles. He didn't want to think about them.

"We'll probably be better at it by time," he offered more to himself, trying to distract himself from negative thoughts. "And I just met one girl, from Slytherin." No, he had met two girls from Slytherin, but he wasn't going to talk about his... adventures with Sonea. Should he warn Tobias against her, though? Hmm... Hmm... some time later.

"I saw you--" Where was Tobias? Forrest frowned, but it dissolved into a grin as soon as he saw Tobias grinning back. "Yeah, I saw you on the Quidditch pitch against, uh," what, "Ravenclaw. 'T was cool." Well at least until Minerva and Ella got hit by a bludger, but Alice had told him such stuff was the part of the game so... surely Tobias knew the dangers?

He moved at little away from Tobias to collect fresh snow as he talked about professors he liked. He hadn't met the flying lady himself, but "Professor Flamsteed and Romanos, yes! Flamsteed's the coolest." He was going to charm a TV to work, after all! No one could top that. "But the--the old prof, he is nice too." He was at least fair.

"Astronomy and DADA, deffo. Herbology's cool too." Cool professors, cool lessons. And there was minimal wandwork in Herbology, so that also made it into his favourite list. "How about you?" His hands were tired of all the rolling, so he just rested them on the ball as he looked at Tobias.

"Oh yeah, I don't doubt it," Tobias smiled. Of course they'd get better at magic in time. He'd not personally heard of anyone who had left the school without being able to do magic. There might have been people in the past and Tobias just didn't know, but it obviously wasn't a common occurance if so. "I kind of panicked at first if maybe I was a squib like my parents," he admitted kind of shyly. That was something he hadn't really voiced to anyone before. "But then I realised it was just the same kind of trouble everyone probably has at first. And it's probably difficult because it's hard to stay focused." Nod nod.

"I only really know Hufflepuffs. Though I kinda met the other teams after the games so, actually, I think that counts too." Beam. He'd met so many people, really. Oh, Forrest had seen the game? Awesome! "It really was cool. And the best part about playing Keeper is that for like half of the game I can just watch too so I know more about what's going on." PLUS last time he'd been free to actually listen to the commentary and it had been really entertaining.

He rolled and rollllled and rolllllllllllllled the snow and eventually Tobias realised just how big it was already getting. The top of the snowball already reached Tobias' waist... that was pretty cool! He rolled it a little further and stopped. "Does this seem like a decent place to keep the snowman?" he asked Forrest, looking around at him. If he agreed then Tobias would start making it steady.

"Yeah, yeah! That's their names," Tobias nodded eagerly. He really wasn't good with names... maybe he should work on that. Hmmmm... the old one? "Oh, do you mean, erm..." the boy screwed up his face slightly in concentration, clicking his gloved fingers as though it would help him place the name. "Uhhh... Botros?" That sounded right? Or there could have been a different older professor.

His favourite lesson? Tobias tilted his head slightly, staring at the treehouse in thought. Hmmmm. He supposed quidditch wasn't really a class per se, and Arithmancy confused the heck out of him, and some of them were just difficult. "I think I agree with you. I love all the moving about in Astronomy, and the vacuum game was super fun. And that Defence Against the Dark Arts class the other day was awesome. You know... the one about legomancy? With the legopuffs?"

Forrest knew the one, right?
