 be curious, not judgmental
Sophie was... NERVOUS. ALL THE NERVOUS. FULLER'S office had been a big success, but Thompson's? Thompson was scarier than Fuller. Way scarier. Getting caught in the act by the Charms professor would've been bearable, but his mate? No way. Nooooo nonono no no no no.
So as Sophie and Tobes approached Thompson's office door - the sun was just coming up, which made her even more anxious because that meant people would probably be waking up soon - Sophie was EVEN MORE careful about treading very lightly and being as absolutely silent in her movements as possible. Her eyes were big, her posture was tense, and even still, she couldn't help but smile because she was with Tobes and this was HIS idea and she was so, so proud of him. Her troublemaking, evil mastermind. Guh.
She set the bucket down softly so he could add a few more water balloons, if he wanted, and took a moment to steady her breathing - she was so excited - and veryyyyy methodically and carefully began her efforts to cast the tripwire spell Fuller had taught her in front of Thompson's door. Since they'd just done all this once, they should be professionals and get in and get right back out, right?
Nope. The tripwire spell took her a second try again, but she did succeed, and gave Tobes a look of OKAY HURRY QUICK LET'S DO THIS AND GO.
