"HI HI HI!" he grinned, nearly throwing his arms around his Gryffindor when he stopped mid way and flapped his arms as though he were about to take off because that was A LOT of drinks in Abey's hands. "Oh great!" he chirped as he selected two at random and downed one almost immediately. "Uh...no...no allergies-s-s," he said as an afterthought while working on drink number two. Abey had to have FREE arms so they could DANCE after all. "Unles-s-ss...you reckon there are animal parts-s-s in any of thes-se drinks?" Well...hopefully not any in the TWO he had just drank at least.

Taking drink number three - because apparently all his scrambling around and dancing with people had made him more thirsty than he had initially thought - Derf began taking a sip from that one when he spotted Stasya and Cameron dancing together. BOTH of them were on his list so he needed a dance with them...maybe he could ask Stasya to be next? But he also needed to dance with Abey who was right HERE right now...

WHY MUST HIS DANCE LIST BE SO LONG?!

WHY MUST SO MANY PEOPLE BE SO NEAT AND AWESOME?!

Glancing back at Abey over the rim of his glass, Derf felt a bit of a FUNNY wiggle in his tummy. He couldn't REALLY explain it but it was there and made him finish his third drink rather quickly because he just had the URGE to tell something to Abey. "You kinda confus-s-se me," he blurted out with some well meant pensive blinking. "But in a GOOD way...I think. But s-s-still confus-s-sing." He wasn't sure why he was saying all this but now that the door had been opened it was kinda hard to shut it. "Got even MORE confus-s-sing after S-Science Club with Jes-s-ssa and everyone."

Actually, a lot of things were kinda confusing. Like how girls kept blushing around him. Something that he could RIGHT NOW IN THIS MOMENT admit to kinda liking but didn't quite understand WHY. Like when Stasya or Natalie blushed at him. He liked that. A lot. Actually...he kinda wanted to go tell them that right now FOR SOME REASON. He liked it when Emmeline did to...come to think of it...and he wasn't toooooooooo sure what to think of James asking her because he sorta seemed like TROUBLE...but if she was happy that was all that mattered to Derf. Maybe he should go tell HER that too. Jessa didn't really blush around him...but he was okay with that. Same with Hazel. Abey didn't so much..why didn't Abey blush at him MORE? He kinda sorta wanted Abey to blush at him too. What?

Something that WASN'T confusing was the fact that

Valerie Gray

was MAKING HER WAY IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF HIM. Okay...so not really. It actually looked like she was trying to LEAVE but that meant he had an IN! Suddenly with a reluctant burst of confidence Derf, rather than doing the normal thing and walking TOWARDS her, did what foolishly little love-struck second year Hufflepuffs do. He shouted.

"VALERIE GRAY! I THINK YOU ARE THE MOS-S-T BEAUTIFUL VEELA IN THIS ROOM AND I KINDA SORTA AM IN LOVE WITH YOU! I ALS-S-SO WEAR A S-S-SHIRT WITH YOUR FACE ON IT UNDER MY ROBES-S-S AND S-STUFF! AND I S-SLEEP WITH A PICTURE OF YOU UNDER MY PILLOW THAT JESSA CAMBRIDGE GAVE ME AND ENO UPSTEAD TOOK. WOULD YOU PLEAS-S-SE DO ME THE HONOR OF DANCING WITH ME EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY OUT OF MY LEAGUE?!"

.........what? He had not meant to say about...half of that information.
Not that Derf wasn't always honest about things, but even he KNEW this was a little overboard.

Or...well...he WOULD have though it was overboard if his heart was not DRUMMING IN HIS EARS LIKE A GALLOPING CENTAUR'S HOOVES.

"No. I think that only really happens with potions and food, not drinks," Abey replied, his eyes fixed on the drinks as he put pretty much all of his effort into keeping them as upright as possible. Things were made a lot easier given the fact that Derf had soon taken three of the five.

One in each hand now, perfect. Abey made short work of downing the first one - it tasted so SWEET and good and colourful and he was so thirsty having eaten so much in the dining saloon. He... really had nowhere to put the empty glass though, so... he just kept hold of it whilst he sipped on the other one.

He was still sipping when Derf decided to drop THAT on him, and it took Abey so much by surprised that he nearly choked on the pretty colours.

Confuse? What? Abey... didn't know what that meant, or how to take it, or what to say, or ANYTHING. Except that apparently it didn't matter what he wanted to say, because his lips were already moving and words were already falling out.

"You don't confuse me." Was there a tone of hurt in his voice? Probably, even though Derf had SAID it was a good type of confusion, and Abey couldn't even work out why it was happening because he hadn't told his voice that it could do that. In fact, he hadn't told his WORDS they could do that either. It... didn't really matter though, because Derf was already bounding off. Still, it didn't stop Abey from continuing, quietly, "You're the only thing that doesn't confuse me."

................. Oh.

......... Oh.

... Oh.

Still holding his two glasses, one empty, and the other with only a sip missing, Abey only watched the... proceedings, aka Derf openly declaring how much he loved Valerie Gray. And it felt weird, but in a way he wasn't quite familiar with; like a sort of ache that started in his chest and then moved up to his throat and stayed there in a painful lump, and it sort of felt a little bit like he was going to cry but no tears were coming, just the painful lump in his throat and a feeling like all the air had suddenly been knocked out of him.

And then he spoke, quietly again, and Abey's words surprised even himself because he hadn't yet had the chance to try and understand things - ANY of the things - but once they were out he knew what they meant and he knew they were true.

"I'm jealous of Valerie Gray."
