 post 1...sorta XD with Olivia ^^ astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf
Uuuuuh...okay but...he had YET to actually make a dagger from the smoke.
Fidgeting where he sat and gripping his wand apprehensively, Derf repeated the incantation several more times to himself in frantic desperation to get it right. If that stupid S wasn't in the incantation he would TOTALLY have it. It made him wonder why and how it was with friends and certain select other things that he was able to get things said without his stutter...but when it came to spells...nope. He HAD been working on things with Professor Hirsch...but that was out the window now. Derf would rather avoid that man as much as possible. Which was SAD considering how much he had grown to like Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Uh...anyway...conjuring a dagger...right.
Taking a moment to observe his classmates transfiguring their daggers and tossing them at the target, Derf TRIED his best to focus. Again, the wand movement was simple enough...buuuuuuuut...
"Fumus-s-s Lamina!" he repeated, waving his wand about some of the smoke to no immediate effect. Er... "FUMU-------S LAMINA!" To his delight,
the smoke began to consolidate and form, er, form SOMETHING! In the next few seconds what his attempt had produced was not a dagger but more a...melted mass of something that he SUPPOSED could have been a dagger if you looked at it upside down and at a certain angle. Maybe. It was LONG at least instead of a ball?
Er...hurrying so no one could see his failed attempt properly, Derf quickly ran up to the line and gave it a toss...entirely missing the intended target. "Gosh DARN," he said in an exaggerated tone with a swinging finger snap. Ooooooh well...
Preparing to make another transfiguration attempt...Derf spotted Olivia out of the corner of his eye CRYING and moving towards her things. THIS WAS HIS CHANCE TO MAKE UP FOR CHARMS CLASS! Without a second thought, Derf left his spot and went over to her. "D-Do you need help?" he asked gently. "Or a hug?" He was really good at those. Natalie had even told him once that he was really good at giving them.
