As he spoke, Tobias started making a tiny bowl!dent in the top of the snowball that was already situated, so that the next one was less likely to fall off or something. It was quite fun, scooping out a little bit of snow with his arm.
That done, he took a tiny step back and brushed the snow from the front of his coat.
"And anyway, one of them, Hermione Granger, she was considered like one of the best witches of that era and at school and stuff. Super smart, super good at magic. And she was a muggle born," Toby finished, looking at Forrest again. He'd finally got to his point. Might have been easier to just SAY it but... feh, they still got there. "'Your potential isn't limited by your lineage', that's what my grandfather said. And he said that there are probably some purebloods here, or the closest thing to them, who are awful at magic. I guess it depends on the person."
Tobias looked at Forrest's snowball. Now... how were they going to get it on top of the first one?
Forrest didn't forget about scratching and f-animals, but he looked more at ease and could listen to Tobias without fidgeting much. He wondered whether he should be doing anything too, but Tobias seemed like he realy knew what he was doing, so... listening, and trying to deliver a point out of it.
...
A grin started to appear on his face.
"Really? Are you sure this Granger was muggle born? I mean--" With the excitement, he removed his hands off the snowball and took a step towards Tobias. This was GREAT news! Forrest had his doubts, of course, but the girl who accompanied Potter--
"but how are we magical if we don't have any magic in our blood?" The grin GONE, and a frown IN.
