CATCH UP! and wandering to Dora & Co. because we promised ^^ astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Derf didn't reeeeally want to think about why erklings would prefer child meat over adult...because that made him start to think about SAD things...like the fact that people ate ANIMAL meat and BABY animals. LIKE VEAL! Because it was more tender and whatever. Well..you know what was tender? HUMMUS! THAT'S WHAT! BEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANS!
So the first year was going to protest by remaining silent...which meant that he had plenty of time to glance around the classroom and...notice all the LOOKS he was getting from people. Gryffindor ladies to be precise. What? What had he done?! "Do I have something on my face?" he wondered aloud to no one in particular as he smushed his cheeks together and rubbed them. You know, in case there WAS something on this face.
Er...sorry there, professor. Chances were that if he heard a cackling noise he WOULD follow it. Really, it was a wonder he hadn't gone near the portal yet. But after seeing how Henry was now and how Etta had reacted...well...he couldn't betray their experiences, you know?
He would keep his goals on gaining access to the Chamber of Secrets instead!
MAGIC TIME!
Although the first year was feeling more than a bit crestfallen with the incantation. Still, he got his wand out and practiced the wand movement. Seeeeeeeeeeemi-circle to the left...and FLICK! Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemi-circle to the left...and FLICK! Winding his music box up - he was unfamiliar with classical music so there was no humming along...yet - and gave it a listen before practicing the wand movement over it and reciting the incantation in his head. Silencio... Silencio... SilencioSilencioSilencioSilencio
Okay...maybe he could give it a go now?
.........or not. TIME TO MOVE ON!
Oh well. Chances were he would have failed at it anyway...or possibly melted the little figurine and then he would have been sad because it was a really neat carousel horse.
Getting up and clutching his wand in hand, Derf made his way over towards Dora and timidly tugged on her robes. Because he was NERVOUS and SCARED because of all the LOOKS she was giving him and she was one of the older students he looked up to, you know?
"D-Dora?" he stammered, tugging on her robes can. "CanIpleas-s-sejoinyourgroupandyounotbemadatmebecause-s-s-seIdon'tknowwhatIdidtoups-s-setyoubutI'ms-s-sorry?"
