Because ????????????????????? He had no idea.
So, while he racked his brains, and wondered if he could subtly get Soph to show him her card, Toby focused on his own wizard. "Oh, yeah... I'm originally from............" Was he allowed to say it? As it was technically on his card? Eh, yolo. "Woodcroft, actually." Ahem. HintHINT. He even went ahead and wrote 'HOGSMEADE' at the top of his parchment, and then underneath that, 'Population: 1' like on the caaaaaaard.
Staaaaaaaaaaaaring at that miming right now. Hm. HMMM. Maybe he'd just... go for it. "Whad'ya think you'll call it?" TECHNICALLY not cheating, 'cause she wouldn't be saying the NAME... but at least he'd be sure. Sophie FAKE!SNEEZED again, this time right into her pretend cauldron, feigned embarrassment, but exclaimed, "FINI!" ALL DONE WITH THE POTION SHE WASN'T REALLY BREWING. In a flash, she was bent over on the other side of her desk, digging for her spare vial of pepperup potion... digging... no, she didn't need her vial of felix... A-HA! Swapping the empty vial for the one full of the potion she'd invented, Sophie presented it to Tobes very dramatically like she'd just found the cure for all the ailments in the world.
She knew he already knew what she was on about - he'd thrown the pep hint out there to let her know he was following along - but she... didn't know if he knew WHO invented it. Did he? No? Hmm. Subtly, she slid her textbook toward him, giving him the full opportunity to look up the potion and find the name associated with it - and she stuck her chocolate frog card under it and made SURE he saw her do it. JUST in case he had no patience to look up things and wanted to just read the card.
But she did give him the invitation to be a bit more methodical and use the textbook to find the answer, though.
"Woodcroft, you say?" Sophie positively beamed, the name Hengist immediately triggering in her brain at the revealing of the location. SHE KNEW WHO HE WAS NOW. She watched him write some more, snorted at the population listing, and griiiiiiiiiiinned even broader at the confirmation that it WAS Hogsmeade. "You wouldn't happen to be... Hengist of Woodcroft, would you, sir?" BOOM.
...What would she call her potion? She hummed thoughtfully, dramatically stroking her chin all the while, and shrugged. "Dunno. I like your inspiration of pep... pep... pepper.... pep...per-up potion? Ha! Pepper-up potion. That has a good ring to it, doesn't it?" WIGGLY EYEBROWS.
