It wasn't the start of term for Toby until he'd paid Professor Botros his usual visit. The Hufflepuff wasted no time at all before arriving at the elderly (again) professor's door. He knocked three times in rapid succession and stood there waiting, not really wanting to sit down when he had the option to stand.

Drumming his hands on his legs as he stood there, Toby soon found himself looking over at the trophy board. It was Ella's name in particular that caught his eye, and gave him an emotion, but now that he looked at the board properly for the first time... Toby couldn't help but really suddenly yearn to see his name on there one day. If there was no Quidditch this year, maybe, just maybe, he could really throw himself into his favourite subjects.

Hopefully.
