UH.

"Why should just the girls get to lose them? I don't want one either," Tobias said indignantly in response to the Gryffindor, in a very very rare display of non-smiling.

He didn't feel too pumped about casting the deletrius spell anywhere near his face, either. Disintegrating his nose was not on the agenda today.

And then Sophie spoke up, about going to see Professor Lafay. Tobias wasn't quiiiiiite so ready to take that route. Even if, if memory served him correctly, Sophie was Lafay's granddaughter, Tobias still felt quite uncomfortable down in that office, but he couldn't really place why. Of course he didn't SAY that out LOUD.

"Last time I was there, she didn't seem very happy about being bothered by students," he said carefully. But where else could he go? This was a magical malady and Tobias didn't have the skill to fix it.

And then it occurred to him so suddenly he slapped his forehead with his palm and grinned. Hospital Wing, of course. He never thought of it before because he'd never been there, and it was easy to forget the place existed. PLUS it was closer and he wouldn't have to go too far looking like an idiot.

"I'm gonna try the Hospital Wing first," Tobias said, feeling much more relaxed now, because doctors could fix almost everything, right? Right. The Hufflepuff looked around at the others. "Uh... good luck with your beards."

That felt odd to say.

Toby gave them a smile and a little wave as he exited the classroom.
