That was most important. Second, "We will be needing those four much larger tanks." Something nearly everyone else had missed or wasn't thinking about.

"I'm okay, profes-s-ss-sor," he assured her with a nod. A VERY subtle nod.

Did that make sense?

Oh? OOOOOOOOOH!

N E A T!

This was going to be an incredibly useful spell to have in his creature arsenal! Not that he disliked using his hands to catch and collect creatures though. He was a bit more of hands on person BUT!!!!!

Wand out, Derf was EAGER to give this one go...but just not on his toad. Because what if he ended up conjuring something not a net or cage...or it was too small and squished his toad? Nah, he was going to practice on...HIS TEXTBOOK!

"Incarcolvo...Incarcolvo...Incarcolvo...Incarcolvo. .." he chanted as he rummaged through his enchanted suitcase for it. Moving his other textbooks...and a spare pillow from his bed...and some jars of dirt...and, oh, well...no one needed to know he had that...and his fireseed from Herbology, Derf finally found his Transfiguration textbook and set it on the ground with a GRIN at his toad.

Feeling strangely confident with this spell, Derf flourished his wand at his book, "Incarcolvo!"

In the next instant, however, Derf found himself not in the presence of an caged textbook. Rather than go AROUND the book...the net and accompanying cage had gone right THROUGH it. Well...half of it.

Um....

So he had a half caged book. Hold flaming salamanders thank GOODNESS he hadn't tried this out on the toad first.

"Tell me the name of the spell, what it does and if you like go ahead and give it a try on your toad." Yep, another mini activity before the real activity. Only this activity was attached to questions they all should know the answer too. There was a small smirk playing across the professors face indicating that she was asking this particular question for a good reason.

Kicking at his half-caged-textbook, Derf looked up when the professor spoke...AND PANICKED.

MAGIC ON THE TOAD?

The first year glanced nervously at his failed attempt at a CAGE and protectively reached into his tank for his toad. Nope. Not...nope.

Silent protesting was happening over here. How would he get more toads? Well...he would just go find them. And then catch them with his bare hands because this cage thing was just not happening.
