Of course he wanted to see Professor Botros; not only did Ancient Runes remain one of his favourite subjects, but Professor Botros would probably always be one of his favourite teachers (with Airey and Astronomy both way up their as well). It would be silly to not visit when it was obvious that it was something Tobias really wanted to do.
So that was how Tobias found himself outside the man's office, knocking to request entry and waiting to hear for a reply, if there was going to be one. As ever, he bounced up and down on his toes, and also tapped out a simple rhythm on his thighs as he waited.
When was the last time he'd seen Botros? Probably whenever the last class was before he'd been pulled out of school for the end of last term. It had definitely been a while, so that just made Toby even more pleased that he'd decided to come and see the Professor. Maybe later he'd head on up to Airey, too.
Aaaand, Tobias was everywhere.
Much to Cutty's chagrin. There was something about the Hufflepuff boy. With his smiling and his HAIR that made it difficult for Cutty to remain clear-headed. Nevermind that Cutty had paid TWO whole galleons of his hard earned money (that we know his mama didn't send him) just to get into the Hufflepuff games...even when they weren't playing Slytherin. Just thinking about the effect put Cutty in a foul mood and his faint, but hope-filled smile dropped clean off to be replaced with his more consistent scowl.
The secundo gave serious thought to drawing and firing upon Tobias. A warning jinx straight into his ear, but Tobias was older and more learned and he probably knew a good counterspell and JAkldfjklsjdFJdkJdjJDFJjjf!!!
He hated Tobias Tempus so much!!!!
So instead, Cutty put on a fake grin and took a seat next too, but not too close to the boy to wait for the Runes Professor. "
Tempus." He said greeting the Puff, but it came out more irritable and snooty than Cutty had intended and he was none too happy about that either.
