He didn’t collect chocolate frog cards, but he sort of wanted to hold on to this particular one. He unwrapped the candy, and sure enough… “I’m afraid it isn’t Balfour Blane; it’s Albus Dumbledore instead. Do you want that card too?”

Derf BEAMED at the professor, although his apprehension about the chocolate frog card made it a bit of a sideways beam. "It's-s okay, profes-s-ssor," he replied with a firm shake of the head. The Hufflepuff had nothing against Dumbledore really - unless one wanted to count the frequency with which his face kept appearing on chocolate frog cards he was using his sickles on - but it was one he could easily refuse. "I've got a dozen of him."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HIS HOT COCOA!

Giving Dora all kinds of sad and pathetic looks - BECAUSE HIS DRINK WAS ON THE GROUND AND HIS CANDY CANE SNAPPED IN PIECES - his bright blue eyes did widen a little bit at what she said. Had mum mentioned any of that before? There HAD been something about ice cream if he recalled...but his hot cocoa!

Still giving the older Gryffindor questioning looks, the first year's attention quickly turned back to the professor...AND NOW HE WAS JUST CONFUSED.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeer..." he muttered, nervous glances shooting back and forth between the two. "I'll jus-st...clean it up..." Which would be SO much faster if he knew any Cleaning Charms. Well, okay, he KNEW some of them but he was no good at them. Which was why he was down on all fours using his robes to mop up the spilled beverage.

Something that the students would find out son enough.

OH OH! He had a really GOOD answer to this one and actual real life experience to draw from! Because this exact thing had happened to him in Diagon Alley over the summer. But it hadn't been a trunk but his cauldron which was arguably heavier than a trunk.

"No charm needed!" he chirped. "Not if Olivia Holden is pres-s-sent! S-She s-stopped my cauldron with her BARE HANDS-S!"
