Toby animated the snitches first, just because they were shiny and his attention was immediately drawn to them. He traced his wand around the wings, but then changed his mind and went around the entire thing. "Animatae." At first he'd been wanting to make the wings flutter, but now he'd cast it on the entire snitch, Toby could watch as it flew around the edges of the page, over and over.

He repeated the process a few more times, focusing on the bludgers, quaffle, and broom. "Animatae," Toby said, tracing around all the lines of the drawings in question. "Animatae."

It was super neat to watch, even if you weren't great at art and your drawings weren't so brilliant. Really cool stuff. Toby didn't think he'd ever quite get over how amazing magic could do. Bringing pictures to life still basically blew his mind.

He flipped through a few more pages, coming to a halt where he'd drawn his pets and other animals. Obviously, these were in need of animating.

"Animatae," Toby repeated, tracing his wand around the drawings of the animals. At first he started by only animating sections of the animals, like the tails or the heads or something, but soon Toby started to feel guilty. Like he was trapping the rest of the drawings into being stationary. He didn't like the feeling, so soon enough he'd totally animated every part of the drawings on the page. Again he watched as they traversed the parchment, feeling happy that they had that sort of... freedom. No more being trapped into standing static. He only wished he could make them more alive, like their real life counterparts. It would have been brilliant to see Finn again, come to life in the form of a moving drawing. This, though, was good.

Again, Toby flipped through his book, trying to decide what else, if anything, he should try to animate. Some of the cows which lined the borders, perhaps?
