.... Plenty good? He was joking right? Etta noticed his distraction and looked slightly amused as she followed the direction of his gaze. Oooooh, people were getting candy canes! How exciting. ..... But did Derf want a one? It looked like he did, she assumed. "If you like.. I'll send you a candy cane once, don't worry."

"Hey, you did it!"

The girl grinned cheerfully, happy that he didn't repeat his previous performance. See? Practice always makes perfect. And fwoopers... yeah. She nodded, a little surprised he said that. "Yes. The four colours of the fwooper represent the number four."

It was her turn now! Etta carefully took aim and in a couple of moments, released the arrow aaaaaaaaaaand it hit an EIGHT! 8! That was so awesome! "Better now, isn't it? Better than a 6, at least."

Derf nodded his head a bit vigorously in response. MUCH better at quidditch, definitely. "Really? What pos-s-sition?" He had ambitious backup plans to being a professional chaser someday. If magizoology didn't work out for him that is. Although he did not see that happening.

*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Did she...had she...oh wow...WOW...HOLY FLAMING SALAMANDERS WOW!

Feeling every shade of sheepish now - because he wasn't about to admit to having a bit of a vested interest in a candy cane gram on top of being a little flustered by her offer - the first year waved his arms a bit panicked. "You don't haaaaff too," he squeaked.

Selecting his next arrow, the first year nodded at Etta. "My wand has-s a fwooper feather core!" Although he STILL did not know what that meant...but Dora was helping him figure all that out.

OOOOOOOH 8! Derf dropped his arrow, not thinking, to give her a proper round of applause. "Very impres-s-ss-s-sive!"

He glanced around, trying to spot a familiar face, when he saw Etta from across the room. It looked like she had already partnered up with a younger blonde boy, but Professor Vance had said groups of two or three, hadn't she? And he didn't think they would mind him joining... Worth a shot asking, anyway. If they didn't want him, he could always do it alone, he guessed. Eep.

He made his way over to the pair, who had already begun the activity. "Hey, Etta," he said as he approached them. "How's it going? I'm Jacob," he directed to the younger boy, who he'd only seen in class but hadn't talked to before. He was pretty sure his name was... Derf? "Do you two mind if I join you? I can always go it alone if you're too crowded here..." he added quickly, not wanting them to feel like they had to let him join.

ETTA'S CANDY CANE'S WERE ALL HIS!

Okay. Unnecessary snap reaction. Nothing to see here.

"I don't mind," Derf replied with a shake of the head. The sort of shake that didn't mean 'no, go away' but rather 'no, please stay' because those two types of 'no' were kind of confusing.

Wait...where was his arro---oh right. He had dropped it. Crouching down, Derf plucked his arrow from the floor and quickly set it in his bow to take his second shot. Pulling back on the string, Derf took a few loooooooooong and deeeeeeep breaths as he focused his stare on the target and tightened up his arm muscles so they wouldn't jolt back or anything like the last time - which had been what had caused his arrow to go soaring up and over the target entirely. Holding his breath, a bad idea, the first year continued to focus until he started feeling a little dizzy and then released his arrow...

"6! Salamander!"

He could keep getting 6's the rest of the lesson and be completely content.
