Because BENZI.
BENZI KNEW TOBES. AND FORREST. AND... "Brown, yes," Sophie's grin widened, pure elation apparent on her features. Her YEARMATE from her VERY FIRST TERM. HE WAS BACK. "You grew up, too," she laughed, noting for the first time just how much - he looked GOOD, didn't he? Merlin. Time was good to him.
Peeking curiously between Eden and Benzi, Soph's eyebrows raised. Cutty? Cutty's Eden? Ha! This sixth year didn't know what was going on, but she was EXCITED TO WATCH. Brown. Sophie Brown. OH OH Sophie Brown, like the Sophie Brown Cutty had told him about. Hmm. She seemed really happy to see him, which made him wonder if he'd actually been missed. The thought had honestly never entered his mind, he'd been preoccupied with bigger things back then. "I should hope I did, I was tiny back then," he nodded with a grin, matching his smile with her own.
What? Cheerfulness could be really infectious. And he really had been tiny, it was almost embarrassing. No matter though, he'd certainly shot up at some point. And out. But that was because he did weights. Text Cut: Evie Quote:

HOW DID SHE NOT KNOW THIS?
Back to Benzi. Evie smiled at the boy when he introduced himself and held out his hand. Evie shook his hand with a pleasant smile that grew when he seemed to be flirting with her. Right? Did she pick that up right? "Everybody here seems to know you," she observed, silently asking for explanation. He was Ravenclaw, so supposedly smart, so he should pick up on that.
Oh, she had soft hands. Softer than his, certainly. He decided at that very moment that he liked shaking girls' hands.
"They do. Guess I was more popular than I thought," he grinned, and gave modesty a shot. "I went to Hogwarts during first year, then I pulled out." Yes, look at him, being all modest and nice and not bragging about how he really did seem to be remembered. He'd expected Cutty to remember him.. and Fern, if she was still around. And Forrest, that poor kid. If he was around he should probably apologise for tormenting him. But... Sophie Brown and Toby Tempus remembered him. And Sophie was a prefect, which brought his prefect friend count up to two without having actually been at the castle for more than an hour.
Hehe. Text Cut: Toby Quote:
Originally Posted by Felixir SO YES. BENZI. It made sense that it was THE Benzi that Toby had known (or at least known of) back in the day. After all, it wasn't really a name you encountered all that much. As Toby picked up the fork at his place and started fiddling with it out of habit, he offered the old-but-new Ravenclaw a grin.
"That's me," he said, twirling the fork between his fingers like he often did with his wand. "It's Fuller-Thompson now, though. Or, y'know, Toby is fine too." Or anything. He didn't mind. But OH. "Yeah, Forrest! He's here too!" Or, over there... at the Hufflepuff table, probably. "He went away and came back too. Where did YOU go?" Hmmmmmmmmmmm? The Tobes was curious.
The Tobes also had not missed the familiar sight of one Kyroh Scabior as he sat nearby. It had, however, taken Toby a few moments to process the fact that that was indeed Kyroh, because of reasons. Didn't help that the Ravenclaw just insisted on getting even taller. Why did he keep doing that.
He was tempted to reach over and ruffle the younger boy's hair, but Ky seemed to be in a... different mood. For one, he hadn't tackled him with a hug in greeting, and was now sat there looking a little reserved? But he wasn't going to let him get away without at least exchanging a couple of words in greeting, so Toby reeeeeached over and tugged on Ky's sleeve.
"Hey buddy," he said with a smile. "Missed your face." And then, for clarification. "And you in general, mostly." Fuller-Thompson. He nodded. He... might remember that. He was pretty awful with names. He would try though, Toby Fuller-Thompson, and that was all that mattered.
"Forrest is here?" he arched his neck to try and - stupidly - spot him among the hundreds of Hufflepuffs seated at their table, and quickly gave up because there was no way he'd be able to recognise him. He couldn't even find Noel at the table.
Oh. UM. Right. That. "Family crisis. People died. It's okay, it was a long time ago," and that was the end of THAT. No thinking of his two Rider cousins who'd walked these very halls before him, no thinking of his sweet aunt who'd never make him her special maple cake again and certainly NO THINKING ABOUT HIS DECEASED UNCLE. NO.
Blinking rapidly, he grabbed a napkin from the table and started fidgeting with it. Being here, especially in the Great Hall, made it harder to ignore the sudden realisation that he was back and they're still gone.
MOVING ON NOW. Text Cut: Kyroh Quote:

Sitting up properly the fourth year brought his hands to his mouth. "HEY YOU! YOU'RE BEING REALLY LOUD. SOMETIMES THAT'S GOOD BUT SOMETIMES IT ISN'T! LET'S JUST PRETEND THAT EVERYONE REMEMBERS YOU SO YOU STOP, OKAY?." He really didn't remember the guy. Was he suppose to? Oh well. If it made him feel better that everyone remembered him.....and if it made him shut it. It was all good!
Now that he had made the loud boy feel better about his existence- Kyroh blinked as a hand tugged on his sleeve.
Oh. Toby.
Blinking at the boy for a few seconds, he held out his arms.
No words. Just hugs. Thank you Hogwarts, for listening to his wish about being distracted and providing said distraction in the form of a very loud little bugger. Who was on his way to hug Toby. And who had a mane.
"OI MUFASA. REMEMBER WHEN I ASKED FOR YOUR OPINION? YUP ME NEITHER," and HIS voice carried without the use of his hands, hypocritical mini Hagrid. "But you're more than welcome to come hang out with us cool kids if you want." Then he winked.
