Toby was quite content to sit here petting Lala all day, so it was sort of bittersweet when Thompson turned up to start the lesson. Because creatures... but goose friend. Still, he went on petting her even as he turned his attention to the professor.

As soon as Professor Thompson mentioned unicorns, the Hufflepuff thought he understood... things. He raised his hand.

"They prefer being around girls. But the littler ones don't mind boys so much." Toby lowered his hand and eyed the parcel. "Maybe it's partly 'cause boys and girls smell different." Just a long shot. Y'know. Just guessing, because of that weird fruity smell. Were they gonna put on perfume to go see a unicorn? That wouldn't be so bad.
