Ever the good older student, she was. Wanted to be a good role model, she did.

Mostly.

Some of the time.

On occasion, really.

But who was counting? Not her!

"Wandlore is pretty complex. My wand is best at destructive and fire spells, but also can be useful at healing magic. It's laurel and unicorn hair." She didn't pretend to know what exactly those things meant in relation to her specialty magic, but the wand lady had been super sure to tell Dora some key things to remember.

Well, maybe she hadn't done that on purpose, but it surely stuck with her.

"Practice is the best way to get better, you know. I have self taught most of the advanced magic I can do. Potions, too."

Nodding in understanding, Derf couldn't help but feel a tiiiiiiiiiiiiny bit upset still - even if the older Gryffindor's words were reassuring and made perfect sense. Of course everyone started out struggling. If there was no struggle then why would school even be necessary? "Did you ever melt a bucket?" he asked curiously. Because so far...he hadn't seen too many struggle as much as him. Except maybe Zoryn.

And now Derf was being all starry eyed at her because even if she didn't know wandlore all THAT much, she at least knew something and maybe MAYBE could help him understand his. "My best friend has-s a unicorn hair wand too! Mine's fwooper...but I don't know what that means-s...but since their song can drive a person mad...you fink that means my wand will too?" Hence the wanting to look things up....and why his small first year hands were reaching for one of the wandlore books. "I hope it means-s-s it is s-s-suited for work wiff creatures-s!"

His blue eyes looked back to the book and then back to the blonde. "Will you help me?"
