"I'm super happy for you, Dot. About the name and the baby and everything." Still grinning away.

"I boy, I know what you mean about kittens. My cat Bludger has never been one for cuddling. He's a menace. But Staco loves cuddles even more than he loves chewing on my dads' furniture." Ehehe, oops? Toby DID feel a little bad about that, but he also totally knew that nobody could stay mad at Staco for very long. And after those TRAUMATIC first few days of owning him, Toby absolutely spoiled that dog, hardly ever telling him 'no'. The sixth year smiled at Dot, laughed, and then nodded. "Then you absolutely will." But... wait a sec. Toby's eyebrows shot up slightly in surprise at that last part. "Not almost like friends, Dot. We are friends. If you want to be."

Toby hoped so. He paused his bouncing for just a moment to raise their hands right then and sort of twirl Dot under his arm. Not sure why, but it kept him moving and it was a happy sort of thing to do, right? Yeah.
He was still bouncing, and maybe even HIGHER now. Dot released him because the bouncing was actually make her a little seasick, but she was still SO happy that he seemed to understand. It wasn't that she had a bunch of people in her life that didn't understand, but Dot wasn't quick to share private stuff, and it was good to know sometimes that sharing could be safe. "I'm happy too. I get to be a big sister, even if it means everyone is related but me. I'm still a Gusey."

Wait. Toby had a dog AND a cat? That was unfair. It was like in the universe of pets, he was getting seconds before everyone was served. That couldn't be how the universe worked. "You named your cat Bludger? Does he run into things and cause concussions?" As bludgers tended to do?

This was all a bit overwhelming for Dot. The sharing. The being told they were FRIENDS. And the twirling. They were dancing! Did Sophie know? Was it ok... nope, she didn't care. Dot giggled and dropped into a dip before righting herself. "I love dancing!"
