 be curious, not judgmental
What in Merlin's beard was going on?
Sophie was more startled by everyone's reactions in the library (those kids over at the other meeting sure were dramatic, weren't they?) more than the actual flash of light itself - of course, when it happened, it caught her attention and she peered at the stained glass window near them with curiosity. That was... undeniably fishy, but soon enough she was looking at the other people in the circle instead. "Everyone breathe," was her lame attempt at easing the situation, giving everyone a skeptical sort of look. But then Lux got a sad expression out of Soph, as the poor girl seemed terrified, and then when the Ravenclaw saw the tragedy that was AJ, Soph pointed her wand away from her own shoes and instead at the hot chocolate all over the Gryffindor, "Scourgify." Rotten luck.
If Sophie had just been scalded by a hot beverage, she would've been shouting 'ouch,' too. And maybe some select other words.
So... that was weird. She peeked over at the other group - Cat and Mo could be seen. Well. Good. At least if something bad was about to happen, Mo and Cat were there to make it all better as they always did.
