That had been pretty cool; Toby had some awesome memories from that class, and it was pretty difficult not to go off singing the praises of most of his professors. "Sometimes in class I do little drawings in my notes next to the important things, so I remember them." Maybe that could help Paris out, 'cause he had the concentration problem too. In a way Toby was glad to have found someone who had a similar issue as he did, but at the same time understood just how frustrating it could get.

"Wow," Toby said in something akin to awe, looking eagerly at the sketchbook when Paris opened it. "That's so cool! You're super talented, but I bet you already knew that." All these Ravenclaws and all of this TALENT. What a good bunch.

Toby's own drawing/diagram of the fanged geranium was almost finished by this point. Next he wanted to get some more detail in and identify all the proper names of the parts, which was going to take a little more time. He got started with that while Paris got settled beside him, finding that it was possible (even easy) to carry on the conversation whilst focusing on the plant. So THIS was multitasking? 'Cause it was awesome, dead useful too.

"Yeah, there's a real good bunch here. I don't think I've met anyone I don't like, and this is my fifth year here." GREAT RIGHT? Toby thought so. He leaned riiiiiight in the geranium, as close as he dared get, and squinted at the fangs. Before his had a chance to chomp on his nose the Hufflepuff leaned back again and added that to his drawing. "Uh huh. I'm a Hufflepuff. Unafraid of toil and all that." Grinning. "I saw you get sorted to Ravenclaw.

"Those are all the classes I'm okay at too." So it was all sounding like it would work out in his favor, and by the look on Paris' face it was obvious that he was more than thrilled to be hearing all of this. "I do most all of my notes in drawings, unless I have to write stuff down." In which case, if his mum had allowed, he hardly wrote anything. It gave him headaches.

He beamed and soaked up the compliment graciously. It wasn't often that he got complements on his artwork that weren't from his little sister or cousin. Sure he knew he was talented, but it was nice to hear it and be recognized as such from someone who wasn't blood or being forced to say so without a snide comment. "Thanks! I can always sketch or paint somethin' for ya if you like. Can always use the practice." And he liked passing the time with it.

Once he had a general image of the plant in his mind, he started to draw slowly so that this one could be more accurate than his usual pictures that mostly worked off how he viewed things.

"You seem too nice to have people on your don't like list." Paris observed over his sketch, almost dismissively, as if the other boy already knew this information and he was simply stating a fact. He was nice. A grin crossed the boy's face. "Hufflepuff is cool... I think. You're the only one I know." It was okay to judge the house based off Toby, wasn't it? Paris didn't see the harm. "Aye, I did. It's been great there too. We had a party the first night and Peeves crashed." It had been awesome.
