All of his books were out and at his side and Toby was rooting through all manner of parchment and old quills and empty ink pots when he heard Cutty speak.
The Hufflepuff looked up, the surprise evident on his face, because WHEN had Cutty and he last spoken? Or been alone together. No... wait... he knew the answer to that last one.
"Yeah," Toby replied, forcing one of those grins that just seemed to come so easily. "Wouldn't be looking if it wasn't lost, y'know?" Heh. A little joke which... made Toby feel really weirdly awkward. Were they on joking terms? ... Uh.
"I'm just... looking for my potions homework is all," he quickly added, looking back to the large handful of parchment he'd just extricated from his bag and shuffling through it. But still.......... thinking. About stuff.
What was that sound?
Oh, Cutty was laughing. Not outright hysterically cracking up or anything, but enough to convey a sense of amusement at the reminder of the obvious. Obvious. Merlin. Toby was so obvious. "
It's probably in the last place yer gonna look."
Tempus wasn't a muggle. Why'd he insist on doing the things the hard way. Physical? Quidditch player? Quidditch player. Quidditch player. The real wives of Godric's Hollow. Summer place on Ibiza. Roe. Shrake roe. Weakness. Unforgivable weakness. Cutty drew a bit closer to the badger boy before speaking again, "
Have yew tried using Accio?"
