She followed behind Toby as he stepped onto the rickety...completely and TOTALLY stable um bridge...she didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, though...and she just...kind of bumped into the back of Toby when he stopped, grabbing a hold of the rope-handle. She frowned. "Why--" Oh. She peeked over Toby's shoulder and...sighed. "We...we have to duplicate the steps? Or...no--we have to transfigure something--"
She was thinking...ugh...
She wished she had problem solving skills right now. "...I'm sorry I'm such a bad partner, Toby...." she whispered. She was feeling...pretty mediocre right now. Less than mediocre, actually..
Toby was stood right there on the bridge, brow furrowed in concentration as he tried to work out what exactly they needed to do here. Conjure... a bridge? Had they learnt a spell like that (and wasn't there a kids' story with a spell like that)? Find a way to fly across? Transfigure a tree into... something? He had no idea.
But at least he wasn't too worried about hanging out on this bridge while they thought. Toby had a general attitude of 'no fear' today. Not just because he was lowkey invincible but also because he'd come to the conclusion that Bellaire wouldn't actually let anything happen to them. This class was definitely not dangerous at all.
Perhaps he was a little too optimistic about life sometimes.
"Huh, wha-...?" Toby said, suddenly brought out of his musings and back to the present by a suggestion from Eden. Ooooh, duplicate. Now there was an idea. The Hufflepuff was just going through his (admittedly patchy) mental catalogue of spells when Eden's next few words mad him turn back around.
"What? Eden, no..." She looked... sad. Well, not happy and smiley, which always meant sad in Toby's eyes. He didn't waste any time before wrapping his arms around her and giving a quick squeeze, returning the hug from earlier.
"You're a brilliant partner! I don't think I'd have thought about duplicating the steps, but I think that's how we do it!" He let go again and smiled wide, really hoping he could boost her confidence here. C'moooooon Edeeeennnnnnn.
"D'you remember the spell? Is it... like... gemini or something? ... Wait, no... that's a star si-... uh... constellation. And a star sign." Sorry, Airey.
Anyway... Gemini? Domino? Neither sounded right.
