Eyes sparkling slightly in the light of the flames dancing on the candles, Toby stared at the cake as he thought of a decent wish. His smile suddenly widened to a grin and he took a deep breath, and blew out all the candles in one go before looking up and grinning at Sophie. If she wasn't holding a cake, and he a pogo stick, he might have leapt into her arms and demanded a hug.

But cake.

"Thanks Soph. It looks amazing." And she'd done it for him. Spent time on him to give him something special for his birthday. It made him feel all kinds of fuzzy inside, and a stupid goofy grin was still plastered across his face. "I'm so glad I get to spend my birthday with you."

JUST SAYIN'.

Sophie was bouncing on the spot, the excitement for Toby's big day bursting from her being. She was happy he was here and happy he was happy and happy he had that weird bouncing object that looked like a lot of fun. Must've been a new birthday present, right? Looked more fun than his skateboard stuff.

Her lips pressed together into a smile when he blew out the candles, Sophie wanted to know what he wished for, but didn't ask - it was bad luck to share one's birthday wish, wasn't it? Didn't that mean it wouldn't come true? She believed that wholeheartedly, so she thought it best to not tempt him to share. She wanted his wish to come true. All of his wishes, actually. Toby deserved to be happy more than anyone in the whole world.

"Welcome." She looked at the cake, then back up at him, "I just... y'know, I figured at home and stuff you'd probably get a big, beautiful birthday cake from your grandmother, and I didn't think she could owl you one, so... I didn't want you to go without a birthday cake. Never actually made one before today, but the house elves taught me. It was their idea to put the chocolate pudding filling in there." Seemed like a good idea, as long as Toby wasn't going to die from a chocolatey, sugary overload.

Hehe. "Me too." Pause. "And I... I have other actual presents for you up in my dorm. But I didn't think I'd run into you so soon. So.. erm..." Her face contorted in thought - she didn't want to drag him all the way upstairs to the Ravenclaw Tower with her. "D'you wanna take this to your common room? Share and have a party with your Hufflepuff friends, and... I'll go get your other stuff? Or...?"
