Text Cut: Tobes and DA TABLE Quote:

"Where t-" he began, starting for the Ravenclaw House table, before realising after just a split second of scanning the table exactly what the answer to his unasked question would be. "Wait, let me guess."
And he wandered on over to where Evie Shacklebolt was sat, and paused so Soph could climb off. Hopefully soon, too. Sophie wasn't exactly heavy, but apparently Toby wasn't so strong anymore. He was, essentially, lifting almost his own body weight, as they were both more or less the same size.
"Is here good, m'lady?" the Hufflepuff said to his Ravenclaw. TOPHIE IN DA HOOOOUSE.
From aboard Toby's back - for the LAST TIME EVER AT AN OPENING FEAST, she acknowledged with deep-rooted bitterness - Sophie Brown made sure to sit UP so people could SEE the little blue badge on her chest. It was a REAL one this time, not her Head Nerd #2 badge, and as long as people were already looking at her as she and Tobes made a grand entrance, she figured they might as well know about this development NOW rather than find out as time went on. No, best to just get it all out of the way.
As Tobes carried her down the aisle, Soph squeezed his torso comfortingly and her gaze drifted up to the staff table directly ahead of them - she double checked that Thompson and Culloden were there, and Flammy and Quiggles and Kitridge and Botros... Tanner, yes, good... but she noted the absence of one short herbology professor and Romanos; however, before she could try to work out what was going on up there, they had arrived at their destination, and Sophie slid off Tobes' back to smile at where he'd decided to drop her off.
"Thanks, Tobes." She gave the Hufflepuff's cheek a quick peck, then latched onto his arm, silently conveying that she didn't want him to leave yet. Or ever. "Hi Eves," Soph greeted, not sitting yet and instead taking Tobes' hand and fidgeting with his fingers, subconsciously needing the reassurance that he was there. "Eden, Layla," she continued her greetings to the girls whose expressions were a tad concerning, and Tia got a sad sort of smile as she seemed slightly troubled, too, and...
That's when her eyes fell upon the boy beside Evie. She squinted at him for a moment, confused, but then... it clicked. "Get outta here. Benzi...?!" COULD IT BE?
