That was completely incorrect. As soon as Toby got the note, he knew at once he was going to turn up and see who was there. It was exciting, like an adventure.
And so it was that he showed up, right on time, give or take a few minutes. Lingering at the doorway for a moment, Toby scanned the room for anyone familiar who might be likely to meet with him. It only took around 0.0000000000002 seconds to spot her.
"ELLA!" Toby suddenly cried out, totally gleeful like he was twelve years old again. In a rush of excitement, he hurried across to her table and threw himself into the seat beside the blonde, tackling her in a hug. There were tears in his eyes, HAPPY tears mostly, but he buried his face in her shoulder and just squished. Sorry Ella. "I've MISSED you!"
His reaction was everything she'd hoped it'd be, minus the tears. She didn't want tears for Tobias. For this reason, the blonde wrapped her arms around her little badger brother and squeezed tight. Did he realize how happy she was to see him? Did he also realize how horrified she was because the boy she was hugging was not so much a boy as a proper man-child person. Merlin, when had he grown up?
"I've missed you more, Tobias!" The twenty-two year old pulled back a bit and smiled big at him, sure of this fact.
"And I couldn't let a Hogsmeade weekend go by without seeing you. I demand you tell me how you are over some...butterbeer? How does that sound?" It was her treat!
