Oh, Tobes had a friend - Soph smiled as the Hufflepuff came over and Tobes introduced her. "S'nice to meet you, Marigold. Cool name." She was getting deja vu, as if she'd already had this conversation once before with this girl she'd definitely seen around in classes - but her mind was foggy, and she wasn't sure if they'd ever properly met. Didn't matter, really, though.
A boy joined the Marigold girl, then, and they seemed to be dates for the night, so Sophie turned her attention back to her own sort-of-but-not-really-but-kind-of valentine, just as the band was wrapping up their first set. She gave them a long glance up on stage, clapped a bit, then smiled at Tobes and shrugged, "Yeah, s'long as you don't mind dancing to the tunes over that stereo system. Looks like the band's taking a break." She was still on her feet, though, and held out a hand expectantly to the third year. They were still gonna dance, right? "You've got moves to show me." Griiiin.
Toby stood up too, noticing that weird creaking sensation in his knees as he did so, and he eyed them suspiciously. No. Stop that.
Luckily enough, there was no further complaint from his joints for the time being, which definitely kept his spirits high and a smile on his face.
"Totally fine by me, Soph," the Hufflepuff said, taking the hand that Sophie had offered and starting out (slowly) onto the dancefloor. Toby was still smiling; it really was a fabulous mood he was in. The ball and everything was super amazing, and he was here with his bestie, so of course he was gonna enjoy the entire thing.
"Merlin, I suppose I have an entertaining shuffle or two in my repertoire to impress you with."
He hadn't been awful in those dance lessons after all (hadn't trod on that Slytherin girl's feet even once), and was feeling pretty mobile today, but Tobias knew better than anyone that he was much more graceful in the air than he was on his feet. Still, there was hope, and Tobias was pretty sure that Sophie toes would be safe.
