Toby had managed to get himself into a good daily routine, especially when it came to feeding the fairies. He'd worked out that he ate his own dinner approximately 12 hours after eating breakfast, and so it made sense to bring his little fairy troupe along (inside the lidded jar) to those meals and feed them then.

After dropping off his school bag and collecting the fairies, Toby headed straight for the Great Hall. He sat at the Hufflepuff table, piling his plate with as much food as he could fit onto it, and poured himself some pumpkin juice.

Before he started digging in, the Hufflepuff grabbed the fairy food bottle from his pocket and opened up the lid of the jar. Like every other night, the fairies were content to stay inside and react to the attention they were getting from other kids while Tobias sprinkled enough food inside for all of them.

As he was about to put the lid back onto the jar, something caught Toby's eye. He squinted and leaned in a little closer, as his stomach growled in protest from being kept from the tasty Hogwarts food for so long. Toby squinted into the jar for a moment longer, but eventually leaned back and put the lid back on. He THOUGHT he'd seen fairy eggs in there, but couldn't tell for sure with the way the candlelight in the Hall was shining off the glass.

Toby checked to make sure all the fairies were happy with their food, and flying around, showing off or whatever, and then tucked into his own meal.

As always, he wolfed the lot down with almost superhuman speed, in pure Tobias Tempus fashion, until his overladen plate was completely empty. He decided to skip dessert, knowing that he had a whole load of delicious homemade treats in his dormitory. Instead, Toby picked up the jar, ensured that he still had the food bottle in his pocket, and headed back to the Hufflepuff common room.
