It would explain why they all seemed to be on top of their logic game and stuff.

When Sophie made her way up the stairs, Toby paused, unable to decide whether or not to follow. In the end, curiosity won him over, and he figured it wasn't like he was going INSIDE or anything, right? He stayed a few steps down, watching as his best friend spoke to the knocker, answering a riddle that Toby might have taken a long while and at least three guesses to get right. She disappeared into the common room, and Toby went back to the bottom of the stairs.

Soon enough, Soph was back, and Toby turned at her, beaming as she handed over a box. This was exciting; Tobias didn't recall being this excited for a birthday present since he was a little kid. He opened the box and started rifling through.

A lot of the stuff he recognised, like the cracker, which he wanted to pull immediately. Some of his bought a mischievous glint to his eye, which was rarely seen by anyone other than Soph. Toby paused then as he happened upon a mirror... and a tiny vial. He stared at them both for a while before something clicked.

"Is that... are these really...?" the Hufflepuff said, staring from the box to Sophie's face again, looking almost stunned at the wonderful presents. Without waiting for an answer, Toby simply enveloped Soph into a great big hug, trying to show his gratitude with that simple action, which was basically impossible. "I love it. All of it. Thanks so much, Soph."

Squeeeeeeeeesh.
