"Hero, then. I'll take that." Mo took the phial and turned it over and over in his hands as he examined it. "You're so brilliant, Soph. At potions, but also in general. I promise only to use it in an emergency, so I'll have to find a way to keep it safe and close at all times. I'll take it with me when I go yeti hunting and everything." He wrapped an arm around her and pulled Sophie in for a side hug. "You're going to be okay without me, baby bird?"
He glanced up when the door slid open and a Cat appeared. She got a wobbly sort of grin and Mo gestured for her to join. "Sophie has presents." Quote:

With the feline secure in her arms, she went looking for somewhere to spend the rest of the ride and someone to spend it with.
"Hmm. What's this in here, hmmm?" Cat grinned. She kept coming across her favorite people being all huggy and happy to be together and she thought it was VERY cute. Mo's own tearing up going unnoticed, Sophie did her best to dry up her eyes with her shirt but the tears kept coming in an unstoppable flow. At least she could still hold a conversation, but her nose was starting to run now, too, and she sniffed. Ugh. "M'glad that's settled, then. You'll always be my hero." Even if the world changed him in some not-good ways down the line, she'd always remember the way he was now and how he was always there for her.
Sniffing again, she couldn't help but smile at Mo's kind words. She knew she was brilliant and all, but it was especially nice to hear that kind of praise from someone she admired so deeply as a role model. "Good. Yeti hunting is probably a wise way of using it, yeah." Though... death by yeti was a considerably cool way to go. Much more interesting than a heart attack or old age or something.
Soph was still smiling until Mo's question wiped it clean off her face and she grunted in exasperated disapproval, headbutting her forehead into Mo's shoulder. "No," was her simple reply, the one word heavy with emotion, and soon enough her breathing was shaky and uneven and she tried to keep from crying aloud. Sure, Sophie Brown would be okay without Marcus Branxton at Hogwarts, but at the moment, it felt like the end of the world.
The sound of the door sliding open made her bury her face more against Mo defensively, but at Cat's voice, Soph turned her blurry-eyed gaze up to meet Cat's and forced a smile. And she sniffed. "Mo's being mean and making me cry." Swiping an arm up to wipe at her eyes again, Sophie tried to steady her breathing - not without hiccuping first - and dug Cat's vial of Felix Felicis out of her rucksack. Her other hand was still holding tight to the Mophieball golfball as she extended the vial up to the Slytherin.
"Culloden and I brewed Felix Felicis. S'for you. Don't die." Those were all the words she could muster at the moment.
