Still have time? What? Toby blinked at Airey, still rather fidgety, very confused as to what he was on about for a moment. But then, ohhhh. "Oh no, I'm fine, Professor Airey," he assured him, not even embarrassed about the misunderstanding. "Just, y'know." JUST KEEPING ON MOVING. Yeah. And then an afterthought occurred to him, so he lowered his voice conspiratorially even though there was no need. "I know where bathrooms are, too. Been here nearly seven years." Y'KNOW. SEVEN? Wasn't it CRAZY? Hard to believe, he knew, as he still ACTED more like a first year and... sort of had the baby-face of a third year, but SEVEN YEARS. Toby thought that was crazy. He nodded impressively. Seven. Years.

He might have gone on to talk about how totally crazy that was, but Airey had moved on, and then the lesson was starting, which meant they had to stop talking and listen and pay attention and learn and probably he should stop spinning between his fingers now but it kinda helped him focus so he didn't.

WEREWOLVES, huh? That was pretty cool. Though Toby had actually figured as much. Because WEREWOLVES were related to the moon AND there was a potion for the transformation AND there was a chapter in their DADA textbooks, and it had been the only overlap Toby could think of. SO THAT WAS COOL. Yeah.

While Airey went on about the moon and stuff, Toby did as instructed, setting his wand down on the desk before getting one of those sticks and impaling a styrofoam ball with it. Huzzah, he held the MOON. It was a lot more difficult to twirl THAT between his fingers, but you better believe he still tried. When it didn't work out so well, Toby brandished it around randomly. "Bibbidi... bobbidi... BOOP!" he said, bopping Soph on the head with it, before quickly getting up and standing by the desk as instructed as though nothing had happened, smiling like BUTTER WOULDN'T MELT.

Ahem, yes, anyway. What was happening? Toby stood there, bouncing on his toes in a manner remniscient of when he had been a first year, bopping himself on the head with his moon now and trying to focus on what Airey was saying. Hmkay, so... they had to hold it out (he did so) between their faces and the flames, so they were looking at the dark side of the moon (WHICH, by the way, IMMEDIATELY got a song in head head, which was very distracting yes right okay).

People were saying words about things, but Toby had another factoid. "It's SUPER COLD there, Professor," he supplied, raising his hand and extending up onto his toes, while turning to face where he thought the professor was but still keeping the styrofoam moon in front of his face. "Super cold and MYSTERIOUS and stuff."

Mysterious aaaaas the dark side of tHE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON.
