Sophie had been nodding along as the professor explained something about runes being broken down. She didn't understand, as usual with Runes, but she figured asking questions would only prolong class. She was just about to get distracted with thinking about the end of class, when the Whomping Willow suddenly snatched up Cutty and dangled him in the air by his ankles.

"Ah haaaa! Excellent, Cutty! You're flying!" Sophie said, grinning upward. If he reacted in any way like he did when that Beauxbatons girl turned him into an animal, she knew he'd appreciate this for what it was. Who else got dangled in the air by a tree?

He was asking for his wand, and she almost wanted to find it first just to she could bribe him with it. The professor was calling on someone else to do it, though, so she guessed she should just leave it be. "Thanks for a great lesson, sir," she said. Really great. Cutty had been mildly ATTACKED. hahaha
