She was just standing there smiling at the Hufflepuff completely oblivious, though, and shuffled out onto the dance floor with him, hand-in-hand. She started to add a little bit of an excited bounce to her step, but her knees and ankles didn't like that so much, so she knocked that off.
Then, casually, she brought a hand up to feel her hair. Felt smooth and soft still, which meant the potion hadn't worn off and her hair was still nice and brown and in its normal state. Good. 'Least she still looked okay.
"Do you?" An enthused grin spread across her face and she released his hand, turned to face him, and took a step back to give him room. "Let's see, then -" she began, just as the stereo system's music was switched off and the band had taken to the stage again. West introduced the next song, and she had no idea what it was, but as it started, she bounced a little in place to the beat. It was a groovy groove. "Aww this is good, you'll have the band to cheer you on. Show me your moves, Tobes. Impress me," the second year half-teased, half-encouraged, then did a little twist and shimmy of her own, just as she had promised to potentially look silly with him. She didn't care, though - her whole face had lit up with the utmost glee. DANCIN' WITH THE TOBEMEISTER.
If there was one thing about Toby, it was that he was definitely not one of those really self-conscious people. He was good at playing up the theatrics and generally making a fool of himself, if that was what it took to be happy (and it often helped). Because of this, he honestly wasn't all that bothered if he made a complete and utter flobberworm of himself pm the dance floor... which was quite likely.
Tobias paused for a moment to let the music reach his very sooouuuuuulllllllllll. He was ONE with the music (kinda) and when the Hufflepuff was ready, he began to shuffle about and bop his head to the rhythm of the music. Even a few random arm gestures in there too which totally passed as dancing. Yep.
He couldn't help it; Tobias had a sudden mental image of what he must look like at that moment and giggled at himself, but continued dancing. It was a shame they had to have the dance when agility and finesse wasn't really working out. Tobias would usually LOVE to be properly bouncing around the the music. Maybe some other time?
The Hufflepuff kept grinning.
"So whadya think?" he asked Sophie.
"Do I astound you?"
