Aaaaand she set to miming a whole brewing of a potion in her invisible cauldron, an amused grin on her face. She didn't have to think too much about what she was doing - she was miming measuring things out, cutting up ingredients, and throwing them into her non-existent cauldron like it was nothing.
"Maybe a little..." she squinted, trying to recall what was in a pepperup potion, "...bicorn horn here, dunno why, just seems like a good idea..." She RECALLED that as an ingredient, but she couldn't piece together on the spot what use it had for the potion, "Aaaand maybe... some mandrake root..." Wasn't that an ingredient, too? Probably?
Though, glancing at Tobes, she wasn't sure that he knew the ingredients - nor that he really even cared what the ingredients were - so maybe she didn't have to try so hard.
When Tobes answered her question about the blueprints, she responded, multitasking her miming easily, "In Scotland, eh? Good choice of location." She didn't really know if it was or not back in the day, but she could humor him well enough. "That's very thoughtful of you." Wasn't it? She knew outright now that it was the Hogsmeade creator guy - but for the life of her, she couldn't remember what exactly, his name was. Wasn't he... one of those... name of names, though? A proper title where it said where he was from? "Where are you from, sir?" Assuming it was a sir. Had to be.
Toby........................ watched.
Yeah, he was pretty convinced that Soph was meant to be portraying whoever it was that invented the Pepper-Up Potion, without her even saying what the ingredients were. Not that that would even have made a difference; remembering potions ingredients was the part of that subject that Toby had difficulty with. Or............ remembering WHO invented them. Because ????????????????????? He had no idea.
So, while he racked his brains, and wondered if he could subtly get Soph to show him her card, Toby focused on his own wizard.
"Oh, yeah... I'm originally from............" Was he allowed to say it? As it was technically on his card? Eh, yolo.
"Woodcroft, actually." Ahem. HintHINT. He even went ahead and wrote 'HOGSMEADE' at the top of his parchment, and then underneath that, 'Population: 1' like on the caaaaaaard.
Staaaaaaaaaaaaring at that miming right now. Hm. HMMM. Maybe he'd just... go for it.
"Whad'ya think you'll call it?" TECHNICALLY not cheating, 'cause she wouldn't be saying the NAME... but at least he'd be sure.
