Derf could hardly contain his excitement as he skipped and stumbled and sprinted from his common room to the dueling arena with his wand ALREADY clenched in his hand. Thoughts of winning and losing were no where near the Hufflepuff's mind, he was just excited and eager to be dueling with one of his BEST friends because it was going to be SO much fun! It was ALMOST a dream come true. It would be MORE of a dream come true if they were in the SAME house.
But they weren't. And the curfew and other icky and stressful things that were happening at Hogwarts made that fact really REALLY sad. But it was okay because he had a PLAN that he would share with Abey after their duel. As long as they were in the same room they were in a common room after all soooooooo really it was the perfect plan. Just needed to lug their mattresses out of their rooms and to an empty classroom.
Hopping up on the platform, Derf returned the bow with just as much enthusiasm and had only JUST gotten into position when Abey's first spell came his way.
"WOOOOOOOOOW! You can do conjura----" HOLY FLAMING SALAMANDERS! ONLY NO...NOT SALAMANDERS! HIS TROUSERS! HIS TROUSERS WERE ON FIRE! AND HE WASN'T EVEN A LIAR! It took Derf a few moments of hopping up and down along with some arm flailing before he remembered the simple matter of stop-drop-and-roll to put out his uniform trousers...and thank MERLIN he had because any further up and, well, there may have been more than just his fwooper boxers showing.
But but...Derf had just been in the middle of PRAISING Abey for performing some conjuration because that was REALLY neat.
Thankfully, although unintentionally, Derf's rolling to put out the flames had caused him to dodge Abey's second spell.
Fire out, but still SUPER proud of his friend, Derf hopped to his feet and flourished his wand to start off his own casting with his own personal favorite and go-to at the beginning of duels...Slug-Vomiting Charm!
OH OH OH AND ONE MORE BECAUSE ABEY HAD SO MUCH ENERGY!
"Tarantallegra!"
