He made his way up to the Astronomy tower, SANS skateboard OR pogo stick, though it was always so very tempting to bounce up all those stairs. Toby didn't know what Soph had planned, so it somehow made sense that he shouldn't bring anything else up here. Like, what if she planned for them to glisseo the stairs and slide all the way down to the ground floor on their stomachs? Though... going down that on a skateboard sounded like the most fun ever ever ever.

And that was what was on his mind as he strolled into the Innovation Lounge, hand in his pockets and head more or less in the clouds. It took a moment for his brain to realised that his feet had brought him to his destination, at which point he blinked his way out of his reverie and flashed the present Ravenclaw a smile.

"Hey Soph."

She was nervous, which WAS a pretty unfamiliar feeling for Sophie Brown because she was usually as confident and cool as could be. Well, at least she liked to appear that way, but today, she was undeniably fidgety as she waited for Tobes' arrival, slightly worried that someone else was going to walk into the room who wasn't Tobes - Flamsteed, maybe, and kick her out and not let her carry out this plan, or maybe another student who had wanted to retreat to the room for some peace and quiet. There were SO MANY THINGS that could have gone wrong, and Soph was playing out every scenario in her head, when -

Tobes arrived.

And Sophie giggled.

"Hi best friend," she stood to greet him, giving him a big hug before tugging him over to sit with her on the piano bench with the brightest of smiles on her face. "I want you to sit here and listen to this and be a good audience and be impressed with me and cry a little, maybe," she teased lightly, smoothing out the sheet music in front of her and putting her hands where they needed to go to begin her song. "I have a whole song to play, so y'don't need to say anything till the end. But I figure you know this song because you're a dork and I heard it in a Muggle shop when my mum and I were out at the department store, and I liked it and it's perfect for us so I learned it just before school started. S'from me to you. If you don't know the words, they're here on the music, so you can... y'know, kinda follow along and get the gist." She pointed to where the song started and gave him a knowing grin, searching his eyes briefly for his recognition of the song. "M'not gonna sing. But, y'know, pretend I am, and... yeah. S'us."

Smiling a bit timidly at him, Soph cleared her throat a little and whispered, "Consider this a birthday surprise," then proceeded to play for him, the gentle smile never disappearing from her face.
