Frankly, she didn't like the subject all that much BUT the girl hoped it would be interesting, to say the least.
"Your name is Derf, right?" Derf was actually trying not to get his hopes up tooo much since he was still feeling a bit miffed over the merpeople let down at the start of term...but with so many covered objects again it was kind of hard not to get excited. Anything that tickled his curiosity in the right way HAD to be good, right?
Pursing his lips and giving his disco ball idea a bit more thought, a few nods here and there as the older Hufflepuff spoke. "Yup! That's me," he grinned. And he was about to confirm her name...buuuuuuuuuuuut Professor Vance started the lesson.

Gesturing to the tea wagon she said "Feel free to help yourselves to some tea and biscuts as you consider and give method guesses." Well...maybe if they all used heating charms and stuff then they COULD go have class outside...although Derf was a bit confused as to what they would be doing outside at this hour since his initial thought to Professor Vance's question had to do with the stars...and you couldn't see those right now. Save for the Sun that is. And one did not need to be outside to burn herbs either...so the standard centaur divination answers were out. Which now had the first year in eager crisis because this was NEW INFORMATION?! And what he had been begging for the first lesson - after merpeople that is.
AND THEN TWO GRYFFINDORS WERE TALKING ABOUT ARROWS AND BOWS AND OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!
Now that made much more sense given the time of day and everything.
"I agree with them!" Derf chirped, pointing to always-talks-smart Charlotte and the Gryffindor prefect. "Bows-s-s-s are S-S-SUPER important to centaurs-s-s too! Like like...kind of how wands-s-s are to wizards-s-s-s! Bows are even made from wand woods-s-s!"
Did this mean he was going to get to see Thereos again?! Although...it would be terribly rude to ask the centaur to come to the castle AND make his way up all those stairs...
