"Huh?" Whawazzappening? OH. Trio. THAT COULD BE FUN. Toby beamed at the both of them and nodded his head just as enthusiastically as he'd said and done EVERYTHING ELSE this lesson. "Sure! Hold on." Luckily Soph wasn't sitting all that far away, so once Toby scribbled the last of his notes he just had to scoot his chair over a little and he was sorted.

"SO. How are we doing this? Everyone does a reading of the person to their right, maybe? Or are we mixing it up?" HMMMMMMMMMMMMM? Did he need to write down his full name? That was the question. Because Soph knew it but Zander probably didn't. Well... he'd write it down anyway JUST 'CAUSE. On a piece of parchment Toby quickly noted down 'Tobias Nestor Fuller-Thompson' and shoved forwards so it was easily visible. He already knew Soph's full name, BUT WHAT WAS ZANDER'S?

Toby bounced in his seat and waited to know who was working out whose cycle and fidgeted with his parchment and twirled his quill between his fingers and yes yes yes let's dO THIS.

Anyways, Toby's huge smile (and Sophie's too-- not surprising) was very contagious today, and Zander found himself smiling a bit at the both of them too. Mainly he was just relieved that they were willing to work with him, since they were... You know, together and all.

And oh. That was a very good question Mr. Toberson. How would they be doing this exactly? Uh. Well... Zander didn't know a whole lot about Sophie's Tobes, but he did know that the boy had a very, VERY long last name. Only knew it 'cause every time a Professor called him something else, he went on to correct them. But very politely. Man, Hufflepuffs were really good at that. But anyways, Zander wasn't all too sure that he wanted to figure out that entire name. Especially seeing it written down on paper. How many letters was that!? Like five million? You'd think with a simple name like 'Tobias' the rest would--

Ahem.

"Oh, I-uh-anything works for me." Oh and he was going to take out a piece of parchment too. 'Zander Mathew Adair'. Yup. That's what he scribbled at the very top. Handwriting was miserable, but it wasn't impossible to figure out. There was totally a clear distinction between his e's and a's. Isn't that all that mattered? "What do you think, Soph?" 'Cause she was the Ravenclaw here. ALSO, did Sophie Brown have a middle name? HMMMM?

Wheeeeee, Tobes was GAME, which meant ALL OF HER DREAMS WERE COMING TRUE. She gave both of the boys' arms a pat as they joined her and beamed away as they started talking out the logistics.

"How 'bout... I take Tobes' stuff," and she gave Tobes a subtle, almost knowing look like, I don't want you to feel weird if your stuff comes out really personal and Zander has to tell you all about your life story. She didn't want things to get awkward, and Soph would sugarcoat stuff if she had to and tell Tobes what it really said later. To protect him and all, even though... it seemed like nothing could bring the Hufflepuff down today. "Then Tobes can do Zander, and Zander can do mine," she offered, writing Sophie Mae Brown neatly on a spare bit of parchment and sliding it over to the Gryffindor. "Everyone okay with that?" If not, they were gonna have to be because Soph already set to writing out Tobes' full name on her parchment. Hehehehe.

...But he'd written his new last name. Hmmmm. Soph peeked at the textbook - chewing very lightly on her bottom lip, she mentioned delicately, "I think m'supposed to use your birth name." Right? "'The Transits are the individual letters and individual influences derived from your first, middle, and last names at birth, the one that was recorded on your original birth certificate,'" she read aloud, gesturing to the paragraph in chapter twenty-eight, then cautiously followed Tobias on her paper with Nestor Tempus and looked up at him for confirmation. Was she wrong? Was this okay?
