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..." Soph went back to twirling the vial of potion between her fingers, smiling contently and watching Tobes sift through the textbook. She knew he was onto it and he just needed to find the name, so she let him go for it. She was especially proud when he didn't even seem to give into peeking at the card. He COULD have done that easily - but he took the less simple route. How noble of him.
SHE WAS RIGHT. Hehehehe. "Only because you were so good at being him." He WAS so good, wasn't he? Dropping all the good hints and all. "You're the most Hufflepuff person I've ever known, Tobias Tempus." So it made total sense that a Hufflepuff card came to him like that. "He even LOOKS like you." Heheheheh.
She thought she was funny.
Peeking over his shoulder to look through the textbook with him, Sophie smiled when she saw the name of her person on the page, then sat back to let him reveal it. "Yep, that's me, Mr. Hipworth," she beamed, letting him see HER card as confirmation, too. "I knew you knew. Thanks for throwing me a bone with that 'pep' joke. Made it easier to keep it going." They had both been total EXPERTS at this, had Glendower seen? So good. Might as well sign them up for W.A.D.A. right now.
