ALL.
THE.
TIME.
He'd just eyed up one particular brownie when he heard his name shouted out SUPER LOUDLY. This caused Toby to jolt in surprise and he sprang back away from the plates, both hands up, eyes wide. The voice was too high pitched to belong to Mr. Neighbour Dude, but there was such urgency in it that Tobias couldn't place it for anyone he knew. The Hufflepuff looked around, trying to see who it was.
"Didn't do anything!"
But why was he not supposed to eat. Had there been some sort of sign that he'd totally walked past?
Cutty was carefully making his way over to the older Pufferton boy, still watching the ground one cautious step after the other. "

Could be laced with any number of things."
The scowl was slowly being replaced by Cutty's calmest expression and tone. "
Watch. See what the others eat. If nothing happens to them, you're safe." Cutty's hand reached up and gave the side of his friends cheek a light, friendly tapping.
