With a nod, she shared her blatant understanding of getting behind in classes and whatnot, but definitely not the fidgety thing. "Ah.... You..can't stop that with a potion or something?" Was it a sugar thing? Did he have too much sugar? Was he a coffee drinker? All the questions. She had all of the questions, and she was just going to consider every option as to why he was so wiggly and how it had gotten to the point where the only fun in her day was tying a rugrats laces together so they fell over. She hadn't anticipated the books falling onto him though.
So not.
"I assumed the falling wasn't planned... I'd be exceptionally worried if it was... - Are you looking for something?" Had he lost a book or something? On second thoughts...how did someone lose a book? She was sure she had never lost one herself.
Maybe.
She may not have noticed though.
Toby couldn't help but give a half-wry, half-knowing smile at the talk of getting a potion to help him out.
"'M'working on it," he assured the older girl, giving a nod as he continued rifling through pages upon pages. In all honesty, they (that was, he and his grandma) were looking into a solution for things, but it was more on the muggle side of things. Still, those were the kind of extra details he didn't need to share.
"Trying to hold out 'til I can go home before I try anything, y'know?"
His brown furrowed slightly as he reached the last book and still couldn't find the parchment. Toby glanced down at the floor and all around his chair (but not
under it, a clear mistake) and then up at the girl again.
"My list," he said.
"I had a list of assignments and things to do, but I've lost it." Which was a problem; Toby's memory was shocking and there was no chance that he'd remember even half the stuff on it.
"Can you see it anywhere?" Cue another go at rifling through the books.
And the idea of Summoning it? Didn't even occur to the boy. Not once.
