Now Tobias kinda sorta knew what to do because he'd practiced it a bit and really the key in this class was to actually not pay much attention and let your brain do its thing. The more you tried to MAKE your brain forget the more it was like 'yes yes I shall forget this thing this is the thing you don't wan't me to think of and I can do that' and straight away that was a fail because you were STILL thinking about it.

And Tobias' head still hurt.

But he was ready. The Hufflepuff was a master of being distracted and rather than remembering to forget he had to not think at all... one of his finest skills.

This all felt so backwards after the focusing for all the other les-

WAIT THAT WAS A CARD SHE WAS SAYING A CARD-

Momentarily, Tobias panicked. He was running out of things to be distracted by and the puff was already edging towards that card. Squeezing his eyes shut and clenching his fists, Tobias tried hard to think about something... anything. Anything that came to him. But in his head all he could see, hear and generally thing about was a blue triangle.

And then... another one already?

Tobias' eyes snapped open and he looked around at the professor, twisting at the waist to see her. Yeah... yeah he was pretty sure she'd spoken. Not that it mattered because he was meant to distract himself from the cards she said anyway. He turned to the legopuff again which was still in front of the blue triangle, looking at Tobias curiously. Did that mean he'd done it? He'd done it! He hadn't thought about the green cir-

Bertie, however, soon informed him otherwise, as he scratched in front of that very shape. Hmph.

Tobias just needed to practice, that's all.

Maybe if he could keep his legopuff...?
