SPOILER!!: togethernerd

Toby only watched as Soph REALLY got into this activity. It was... kind of amusing. When she finally handed over the potion, he held it up in front of his face and staaaaaared at it. And may have unintentionally pulled a face, too, because THIS stuff was unpleasant to take. Tobias usually preferred to struggle on potion-less when he had a cold because man... ick.

But he was meant to be ACTING, and he didn't want to """"""""offend"""""""" the person who invented this potion, right? Right. Though... he saw THAT TOO. The subtle book nudging and all. Professor Glendower HAD said about how they could use their textbooks if they needed to, and though Toby had been wanting to avoid that, it seemed like the way forward in this activity.

He picked up the textbook (but not the card, because that was too much like cheating to him) and rifled through it, even as Soph made her own guess about his character. Toby looked up and smiled.

"Yep, you got me," he nodded, holding up his chocolate frog card to show her the picture. "Seems like I'm drawn to the Hufflepuffs." 'Cause Hengist was a Hufflepuff, see?

Hmkay, soooo. SOOOOOOOOO. Soooooo. Toby kept rifling through the book, looking for the words 'Pepper-Up Potion' to jump out at him, but it wasn't quite working out like that. Eventually he went for the more ~~Ravenclaw~~ methodical approach, and checked the index before flipping to the right page. AHA! He'd... never seen that name before in his life.

"And you're... Glover Hipworth... right?" Man. Hopefully he had that right, after all those hints. But Toby was pretty sure, and sub-consciously glanced at her card (though he couldn't see it properly from this far away) while he waited to see if he was right. "Inventor of the Pepper-Up Potion. I knew that part, it was just the name..."

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.
