 be curious, not judgmental
Sophie, in her popsicle form, was DRAGGED against the wall to safety by MARIGOLD MCALISTOR. OF ALL PEOPLE. Though... Sophie hadn't REALLY been much in harm's way standing RIGHT next to the professor, she would've thought, so... how in the world had she gotten hit by a spell? No one was dense enough to miss the troll that much - people wouldn't have gone shooting spells in her direction for any reason. There was absolutely no way and she KNEW that.
Someone had frozen her on purpose.
Or, at least, they'd had it out for someone NEAR her and she just got the blast of it. Either way, Sophie Brown was not a happy camper even when people tried to HELP her and get her OUT of her iced form because she had been in there TOO LONG AS IT WAS - she had been encased in ice for at LEAST two minutes, she was sure, and she was freezing. Literally, obviously, but as soon as the first gush of room-temperature classroom air made contact with her skin through the cracks, she realized just how cold she was. Her whole body was numb and wet as the ice melted against her skin and she heard people calling to her and urging her to break out of the ice - it was a boy's voice, but not her boy's voice, and she was a little disoriented and dizzy all at once and wished they'd hurry to make more cracks in it - but then she heard his voice, and a jolt of electricity shot through her as she tried to make her freezing limbs move, hoping to wiggle enough to break through the ice as people shot more spells at it.
Slowly but surely, she made progress, but her breath was quickening in panic - she wanted out right now - and in one great angry burst of energy, Soph broke from the mold of ice and promptly flopped on the ground, shivering and shaking and not looking at anyone at all. Cold. Coooooooooooooooold.
"Tobes." Her voice was shaky and unsteady through chattering teeth and the word hardly came out at all, but she wanted him. She also wanted to not be cold anymore. Was that a thing someone could make happen? Shiiiiiiiiiverrrrrrr.
