He really hoped so, because empathy was one of those things Tobias had some real experience with.

He looked around the room for a moment, taking in the methods that everyone else was trying out and wondering how to portray his own famous wizard. Kyroh had a beard on his face, but Toby's card!dude didn't have a beard... just bright red hair. Maybe if-

But his train of thought was broken as Toby watched Soph pull out an empty potions vial from her bag. For a split second, he looked confused, then allowed himself to make that expression where you try to raise one eyebrow and then just failed... and then he smiled. Of course she carried around empty potions vials in her bag. Of course.

Still smiling to himself, Toby shook his head in amusement. Okay. Right. Character. Or........ maybe he could guess Soph's first. The Hufflepuff looked at his girlfriend and then the vial, and then back at his girlfriend.

"So have you..." Uhhh. "... brewed any good potions recently?" he asked, nodding at the vial as he spread his parchment out on the desk, picked up a quill someone had left there, and started drawing out what LOOKED like blueprints. Toby was trying to remember the Hogsmeade layout by heart, but he'd not really been very often so all he could really do was... try.

And write 'BRAND NEW ALL WIZARDING VILLAGE' at the top of his parchment. Hint. Hint hiiiiiiiiiint.

Thinking about it, people were much more likely to guess his card than he was to guess anyone elses. Toby barely knew a thing about these old famous witches and wizards; was always too busy charging about than to read the cards that came with the chocolate frogs.

Sophie stared long and hard at her empty potions vial, trying to figure out... how EXACTLY she should convey who she was. Should she... start sneezing and declare that she was in the process of creating a potion to cure the common cold... then mime brewing a potion and switch her empty vial for the one she had of pepperup potion in it? Certainly that would make things a little too obvious, but... it was a fair way to go. Or she could just boast purely of her accomplishment and make up some mumbo-jumbo about having had a cold for a month and finally brewing something to remedy it, save for the darn smoke that emitted from her ears. But most potions had side effects of some sort, didn't they?

She was snapped out of her thoughts when Tobes spoke up next to her, and her face broke out in a grin as she realized the game was on. No time more to plan anything - she had to decide then and there how she was going to go about it.

ACHOOOO!

Her fake sneeze was very played up so it was obvious it was a fake one and she covered her face with her hands, suddenly her expression miserable. She sniffed once and shook her head, feigning shame. "Not yet," she sighed, dramatically wiping at her entirely dry nose and coughing into her sleeve. "I'm about at my wits end here with this blasted cold, though. Had it for a week now - m'about ready to find a cure for it." HEHE. Get it? Was he following? She continued to look miserable, though, and very gently twirled the empty vial between her fingers and peeeeeeeeeeered at what Tobes was doing.

Blueprints of some sort? A map? "Brand new all wizarding village, eh?" One immediately came to mind, one she knew the founder to be on a chocolate frog card, but she played along and inquired further, "Where might that be located?" Being the entirely interested Glover Hipworth she was.

Achooo.
