EVERYONE. But mostly Henry... & dagger eyes for the Dark wizard astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Can't sleep, plants will eat me. Can't sleep, plants will eat me. Can't sleep, plants will eat me. Can't sleep, plants will eat me.
After his initial reaction upon entering the common room after being led here by the prefects after the feast had resulted in a shrill scream and prompt departure back OUT and down the corridor. Hazel had had to go and find him to coax him back inside, but even then he was a fidgety twitch mess. But he was TRYING to be strong, sort of, for Scamander so the newt didn't get scared too.
He had tried counting sheep, which hadn't worked. Then he tried dragons, also didn't work. Moved on to pygmy puffs...which again didn't work. Fwoopers had been an attempt as well, but that had only resulted in the 11-year-old once again wondering what COLOR feather was inside his wand serving as the core and just how he could go about figuring that out without snapping it in half.
Needless to say, Derf did not sleep a wink last night and it showed in his bloodshot eyes and pathetic stumble down the stairs to see just what the screaming had been about. Because he HAD already been up, so naturally he had heard that...
..........and was INSTANTLY suspicious when he came down the stairs to see THAT PERSON. THAT ADULT PERSON. THE ONE WHO WAS OUT TO GET THEM ALL! He was SURE of it.
He hated that the waffles smelled delicious, by the way, because he WAS very hungry and had only one chocolate frog left - currently in his other pajama trouser pocket, the one not occupied by Scamander.
Giving curious looks to everyone else who had come down to see what was going on, Derf was even more anxious that he did not recognize anyon--- OH WAIT HENRY! HE KNEW THAT FACE! He was, er, just going to go stand riiiiiiiiiiiiight over there next to the older boy. Within clinging touching distance.
Hi. *G R U M B L E*
Holy flaming salamanders...did his tummy have to betray him?!
