Did Toby hear the words 'DYING COW'????? He blinked and looked around URGENTLY, trying to find the source of the words, or, Merlin forbid, the thing that might have inspired them. But obviously it was impossible to see who had spoken, and he definitely did NOT see a cow in the room, living, dead, or dying. So... maybe he was hearing things. YEP. Going with that.
Oh, but OH. Time to do the whole ~interpretation~ part, though Toby already knew what Zahra's meant. It meant she was a GRYFFINDOR inside AND out. But still, he went back to where his things were and started jotting them down, then referring back to the book with the new info and CALCULATING.
OKAY SO... he was done? Yeah. Done. Toby set his quill down and streeeeetched his arms out a bit, though careful not to stretch TOO much, in case of, y'know, an accidental gas leak. Tobys don't toot, remember? Not in public. Not out loud.
Seeing as he was all done, Toby reached for another SUGARY SUGARY SODA. Ah yes, just what he needed(?).
