BOOK CLUB! Okay, but despite his short attention span the second year really DID like to read. Just sometimes it took something kinda special about a book to captivate him and keep him focused. But he really did like books and reading in general and since this was a book club he had BROUGHT one of his favorites with him. Said book currently tucked under his arm, Derf entered the room and quickly found himself a seat. Phew. Just in the nick of time too since it seemed like things were starting.

Does anyone know what this is? Or what we could be studying?” The Librarian asked with a grin. Only two people seemed to notice the wardrobe and he was excited to hear what everyone's guesses were.
Eeeeeeer...oops. Derf hadn't even LOOKED at the desk and, well, if there had been a snake sitting there on it then it probably would have bitten him. His blue eyes instead went on the wardrobe. Boggarts? THAT made perfect sense since there had been one of those in Hogsmeade recently!

That was totally it right and no one could convince him otherwise.

What book did he know that hat boggarts in it...well...there was this REALLY old book called The Boggart...and it kinda sorta fit with what was going on at Hogwarts this term since the book was about a family from across the pond coming over the pond to SCOTLAND even and getting themselves a castle but the castle had a boggart in it... Did Gilderoy Lockhart have a book about boggarts? Ew...did they have to read THAT rubbish? Derf made a face just THINKING about it...which meant he missed the opportunity to raise his hand and answer.

Oops.

Uuuuuuuh....Derf had NO idea how to answer this question having not read this particular book himself. He was pretty sure that it was on the bookshelves back home though. Based on what the librarian was tell them though...he couldn't really cull any information that would give him anything to go on but he SUPPOSED what Jessa and Olivia were saying made sense. Maybe? He felt like the answer was obvious to those who KNEW the story and read it...but he was not one of those people. So instead he raised his hand for another question.

"When they went to look at the wardrobe...was..." Er...what was the character's name again? OH RIGHT LUCY! Like Lucy Potts! Okay, he could handle this. "...was Lucy with them? Could s-she NOT see the magical wood then or COULD s-s-she and it was-s-s jus-st her s-siblings-s that saw the back of the wardrobe?"

This felt important to him with the whole believing in magic aspect people were talking about. Because IF she did believe then shouldn't she still be able to see it regardless of her siblings? He thought so at least.
