She PROBABLY normally wouldn't have cared, but this was a PREFECT event and she was a prefect, one of the eight people who were, like... running the whole thing. So she HAD to plan ahead a bit.

And she'd been TOTALLY game to accept a piggy back ride to the event from Tobes because - well, why not? He was LEAVING HER FOREVER soon so she kind of never wanted to leave his side. It was a bit unfortunate for him, really, because she'd practically made herself attached to his hip - or, well, his back, in this case, as she held on as her piggy-backed her to the entrance of the whole grand event.

When her Hufflepuff "steed" came to a halt beside the lockers, Sophie let herself down from his back and chose to loop her arm with his instead. He'd carried her the WHOLE way there, and she hadn't let him know yet that she actually had, like, a JOB to do, but... the next place they had to go - well, SHE had to go - she didn't want him to have to carry her up all those stairs, if he wanted to come, too.

She gave him a sheepish smile at his question, though, and hugged his arm as she responded with dazed sort of sigh, "Yeah, we are." Sneaky, that was. "M'actually assigned to the top of the slide there," she pointed to the HUGE waterslide that was gracing the grounds of Hogwarts. "S'like my station or whatever. M'supposed to, like, make sure everyone waits their turn and people don't go more than one person at once or do stupid stuff." Realistically, she SHOULD have probably gotten there earlier because it looked like people were already running for the slide to take their turn, but... oops. Sorry, Hogwarts, Tobes was a TOP PRIORITY RIGHT NOW.

"Y'wanna come with? It's wicked - there's all those twists 'n turns 'n stuff and the water propelling you down makes it SUPER fast and y'can bonk Zander on the head when y'get to the bottom, 'cause he's supposed to be stationed there to make sure everyone gets out okay 'n stuff." Give him a kiss from me or something, she almost added as a joke, but like... two concerns there: 1) Tobes might get mega uncomfortable at the suggestion, OR 2) Tobes would think it's hilarious and actually DO it.

Though all things considered, the second option kind of... well, heh. Soph certainly wouldn't object to that turn of events.


Oh yeah. Soph had, like, a job and everything, 'cause she was a prefect. Imagine that, having to spend this whole event stationed at just ONE place. Or, well... probably not the WHOLE event. There were probably shifts and breaks and rotations and all that stuff, and there was also a way to make anything fun, after all. But still, Toby felt quite lucky in being able to freeeeeeely flit from one place to another if he liked.

"Sure, I'll give it a go," Toby replied, casually unlooping their arms and instead holding her hand so he could swing it in a big arc as the headed that way. Because he was Toby and he was ridiculous. "But you realise as soon as I slide down I leave you behind." And then he'd have to go aaaaaaaaaaaaaall the way back up, though that was no trouble. Point was that she'd be watching HIM having fun, which didn't feel fair. "Think I'll pass on the head-bonking. Such high speeds... might end up accidentally knocking him across the..." He glanced around. "... wherever it is we are."

SEE? Toby could be smart sometimes. But he still smiled as he used his free hand to tug at his yellow VIVA LA PLUTO shirt to straighten it after it had become all bunched up from his serving as a majestic stallion steed. "D'you need to stay up there for the whole thing?" If so, it probably gave Toby time to say a few goodbyes, sign a certain book, and then they could meet up again for the speech or something.
