"Thanks," he replied, looking up at his cat as well. "His name's Bludger, and he's kinda crazy." As Tobias said this, his voice still weirdly squeaking and trembling from time to time, the cat in question suddenly pounced from the luggage rack overhead to the no man's land of the train corridor and out of sight. Figuring that maybe he'd seen Lando or something, Toby looked to Sophie instead and grinned right back at her.
"You too. Getting old was, uh... getting old." Heh. Funny. Ahem.
Tobias shrugged one shoulder and, still smiling his genuine smile, began fiddling with Sophie's shoelaces. He was once again back to a state wherein sitting still was not an option.
"It's cool, we can do loads of extra fun stuff next term to make up for it, yeah?" he suggested, winding one of the laces round and round his index finger. Toby was about to bring up the fact that they could hang out on the practice pitch more next term, when Soph spoke again, and he automatically looked at her.
N'aww.
Toby's grin shifted from that gleeful one to a kind of happysad smile, and he rested his head back on the seat behind him, still looking at Sophie.
"I'm gonna miss you too," he said, completely sincerely and genuinely. "Summer's not too long though, right? We'll be back before you know it. Maybe we'll even see each other in Diagon Alley?" Maybe. It all counted on their families' plans, he supposed. "We can always write to each other, yeah? Well, I'm writing to you whether you like it or not." Well, obviously he'd not write if she didn't want him to, but Soph would know that. "Bludger?" Sophie was grinning, but her head cocked to the side in confusion. "What's your reasoning behind that one?" Did the cat go around slamming into people and breaking limbs? Perhaps, she decided, after the cat suddenly decided to go racing out of the compartment. Hm. "Strange." Cats were weird.
The Ravenclaw did think he was funny, but she rolled her eyes and lightly shoved at his arm for his bad joke. If he meant it to be a joke. She was still smiling though. She couldn't stop smiling around him, actually. "We'll have to, yeah. Lots of lost time to make up for," she agreed, observing him playing with her shoelaces with amusement. "I'll make a list this summer of a bunch of adventures for us to go on. Like... a third - for me, fourth term for you bucket list of sorts, y'know?" So on days when they were going to hang out with nothing to do, they could have something to check off their list. Totally a good idea, and the excitement was apparent on her face at the very thought. SO MANY POSSIBILITIES.
As Tobes went on to talk about the summer, Sophie continued to fidget and look down at her hands. Summer wasn't too long, sure, but... surely it would feel that way. And of course they could write... and would undoubtedly catch up in Diagon Alley later... but... "Writing's good, but d'you... have lots of plans? Lots of things going on?" Could she see him sooner rather than later?
