Derf. What kind of name was that? She would never say that, especially considering her own name. But, she did cock her head to the side and survey him for a moment. "Is that short for something?" And what books did he have? Dora was going to be nosy, yes she was. Moving over to said books she began to run her fingers over the spines. Interesting reading for a first year. Ahem.
They all seemed to know more and more as they came in, didn't they? More than she, as a fifth year, knew. "Maybe to you," he replied, still clearly awestruck by the older Gryffindor with his wiiiiiiiiiiide unblinking blue eyes. "I'm not so good wiff s-spells...melted my bucket in Herbology." At least he wasn't all that good YET. He was hopeful, after all, and DID have a pretty neat wand. Even if it wasn't the sort of wand he had been hoping to own.
"Derfael," he nodded. "Derfael Mitchell Ashburry-Hawthorne." If he was being technical. Noticing the her gaze, he removed his wand from his robes and held it in his hand for her to see. "I am trying to understand my wand," he explained. "13 inch spruce wiff a fwooper feather core. Fought maybe if I understood it better...I could do magic better too..."
