At first, Sophie was perturbed when Filius began to laugh, but his laughter was always so contagious and she found that a smile began to creep onto her face.

"What?!" She yelled through a chuckle. "What's so funny?"

When he hugged her, Sophie started off being a little rigid with her feet firmly planted on the ground. After a few seconds of awkward standing, Sophie slowly snaked her arms around Filius' and returned the hug. It was a nice, familiar gesture with familiar smells and familiar person.

Sophie smiled Filius asked if he could walk her to class. She thought for a moment, then responded, still smiling and trying not to laugh a little,

"Yeah, I guess... But don't cramp my style, I still have an image to uphold, y'know?"

And with that, Sophie reached out and grabbed his hand.
