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? Quote:

"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? "Okay, it's a plan!" Aight, COOL. All on board. Time to get STARTED the-
... Wait, what?
When Soph spoke, Toby blinked at his parchment, and then pulled his textbook towards him to see if it really did say that. He stared intently at the passage, completely still for a moment, eyes narrowing, until finally he looked up and started bouncing and fidgeting away just as cheerfully as before. "Well, that's a pain," he practically chirped, giving the passage in his textbook a little flick. Then he gave a shrug like NBD DUDE. "I just automatically write this one now." But yeah, WHICHEVER. Toby was in TOO GOOD and TOO HYPER a mood to get upset by it. He'd decided today was a GOOD DAY after all. "Okay, let's seeeeee here... Mister Zander..." Just get those number values down first, then work on interpreting thingies. SPOILER!!: Parchment Zander Mathew Adair Mental Transit - Middle Name
M = 4 (ages 0, 1, 2, 3, 4)
A = 1 (age 5)
T = 2 (ages 6, 7)
H = 8 (ages 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
E = 5 (ages 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
W = 5 (ages 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
4 + 1 + 2 + 8 + 5 + 5 = 25 Spiritual Transit - Surname
A = 1 (ages 0, 1)
D = 4 (ages 2, 3, 4, 5)
A = 1 (age 6)
I = 9 (ages 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
R = 9 (ages 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
1 + 4 + 1 + 9 + 9 = 24
Toby leaned back from his parchment again and streeeeetched out his arms and FIDGETED around for a moment. HOKAY. All the maths part done, just a teeeeeeeeeeny break before the real THINKING part.
Enough time to fantasise about later when he would get his pogo stick and BOUNCE around the grounds.
