 be curious, not judgmental
Sophie had mostly acclimated to astronomy class at Hogwarts without Tobes, but going on a field trip... brought her back. The pair had SO much fun at the National Space Centre when Flammy took them there, and now... she didn't HAVE her astronomy buddy to go gallivanting around with.
Thank Merlin she had Zander, though. He'd been her rock.
No pips today? Disappointing, but it made sense as they were supposed to be passing as normal, everyday students instead of young witches and wizards from a weirdo school. Lint-free and with her permission slip in hand, Soph passed deeper into the classroom and immediately saluted Flammy as she crossed the room toward him, a big ol' grin on her face. "Live long and PROSPER, Admiral. You're really rockin' that bag." And how nice of him to provide one for each and every one of them. They were going to be doing this thing in STYLE, clearly.
...PROFESSOR DAKEST ALERT. SABEL DAKEST. "Nuh uh," she pointed an accusational finger over at the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor with one hand while her other handed her permission slip to Flammy, "you're comin' with us?!" Great. A total nerd party. "I'm stickin' with you. Too late to say no." And Myers was there, too. Another favorite, but this one just got a smile and a wave out of Sophie Brown.
Picking out a fun-printed bum bag, Soph put it on without a second thought - had to set a good example for the kids, y'know? - and cheerfully grabbed up Zander's hand and tugged him over so they could stand near Dakest together. They were gonna go together in his portkey group, okay?
