It was difficult to think of a time at Hogwarts without Tobes. Back in her first year, Sophie Brown had Cat and Mo - those were her core two friends, them and everyone on the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. It wasn't until the first few days of her second term that she met the Hufflepuff walking beside her. When she looked at him now, she took notice of how he hadn't changed all that much since then - he was still relatively tiny in height and had an undeniable aura of innocence about him, but a few of his facial features made him look more pained, more haunted by the years behind him. His body had much more muscle definition now, too, but even though he was of age, he still seemed awfully small. The Tobias she had befriended that first day in the courtyard had evolved some over the years of knowing him, but as she subtly scrutinized him now... she was still reminded of that bouncy, jovial Tobes she had first fallen in love with.

He was still a huge goof now, too.

As he skipped along in a burst of energy, Sophie dug her hands deep into her own pockets. She had to, otherwise she'd end up slowing him down by wanting to hold his hand for stability - emotional stability. The end of Tobes' last term was going to arrive in the blink of an eye, and she wished nothing more than to freeze time and stay here forever with him. As miserable as he was sometimes at this school, she saw glimpses of how purely free and happy he could be, too, like here on the bridge with her. She wished he could always be like this, with a song in his heart and his energy bursting from his being. He deserved to feel this way all the time. He'd done so much good for so many people and hurt so few. Sophie Brown wasn't at all convinced that the karma they had discussed in Tanner's class existed - if it did, Tobes would've been living a beautifully fulfilled, nurtured life, instead of one full of heartache, neglect, and hardships.

When Tobes stopped suddenly, she did, too, and followed him and his gaze down into the ravine, their shoulders touching as she stood right by his side, as if fearing that him moving too far away would take him away from her forever. "That'd be mega fun. But if we tried and fell and we died, your parents would kill me a second time for me letting you do it. I can't have that hanging over my deceased head," she joked in a dry tone, giving him a sideways, soft smile before looking back out over the ravine, her arms resting on the railing in front of them with her hands clasped together. "Parents. Spoiling all our fun."

She thought it would've been fun, too, though.

It was a Good Day, he could feel it. Or it WOULD be a good day. But then all days were good, weren't day? But that didn't mean that today couldn't be a Particularly Good Day. All at once, Toby stopped dead on the bridge and turned to look out over the big ravine THING, the trees and hills and the mountains out to the horizon. Then he looked down. "I've always wanted to climb down those beams," the seventh year said thoughtfully as he pretended he could see the wooden structure that supported the bridge. "Then back up. It looks fun." Not that he was GOING TO. Toby was just MENTIONING it, was all. Because he had started to notice all these things around Hogwarts that he'd never really properly thought about before, apart from when he was a little first year maybe. But even then... well, he'd always been pretty oblivious. Now he was close to leaving it was like he was properly SEEING all the things. Extra things. It was cool. Toby looked at Soph and smiled; he always enjoyed when they got to hang out together. Always always always. It was difficult to think of a time at Hogwarts without Tobes.
