Where WAS Toby? That really was the question.

Truth was, he had, uh... he had totally forgotten about having to do the next measurement. Like... it had been wiped from his mind completely. It wasn't until he'd curiously watched some other kids traipsing out the castle through the front doors and towards the Lake that it had clicked. And even then, it took the teeny tiny specks of flags waving in the distance to really jog his memory.

The Hufflepuff had sprinted back to his dormitory then, dropping everything. Quite literally. He'd grabbed his bag on the way back, though, and was now running full pelt around the lake to where he thought his flag was, hoping he hadn't left it too long.

Um. So. Where was his flag? All Toby knew for sure was that he'd set up right next to-

GAAAAAASSSSPPPPPP.

"ADIIIII!" The Hufflepuff kept on running, and the yell was the only warning Prefect Rehman got before Toby dropped his bag and ruler again and LEAPT ON THE SIXTH YEAR in a weird sort of... leaping-and-then-latching-onto kind of hug. HI FRIEND.

Good job Toby was kinda small, really. BUT STILL. They'd never hugged before, so hopefully he was cool with it. And, uh... prepared. Ahem.
