And all color drained from his face.
It was happening again, wasn't it? The portal. The Monster.
Derf stood there frozen in spot for another five seconds before he went SPRINTING towards the source of the voice - and Headmistress by proxy which was convenient considering he had remember precisely zero of the instructions given - and entirely abandoned his seed buried several inches deep in mud. "I'M COMING ZORYN! I'M COMING!"
Sprinting, huffing and puffing, caked in mud, holding his wand in his hand while it continued to produce water like a little personalized sprinkler...the second year was certainly no knight in shining armor but he was TRYING! Quote:

But the screaming made her stop dead in her tracks. Out of instinct, her body whipped around one-hundred and eighty degrees with her wand at the ready. There were a million things that could have caused someone to scream. Perhaps someone had been bitten by a gnome or something?
Or it simply was Zoryn Spinnet running toward her along the path that led to the Whomping Willow. Merlin. Had she gotten too close? Did the Willow give the girl a smack with one of its branches?
"Hold your hippogriffs, Miss Spinnet. Calm down now," Regina said, placing a hand on the Gryffindor's shoulder. The woman quickly looked her over. She didn't look like the tree had crushed her. She didn't even have a single scratch on her. "You're okay, Zoryn. What --"
Her attention set on the second year was then taken by the creature-loving Hufflepuff who, apparently, was coming to save the day. The woman's eyes widened at the sight of the boy, looking more like he had been bathing himself in mud rather than planting a tree. Regina muttered something under her breath, resisting the urge to move a hand to her forehead and shake her head. What was going on with these second years?
"Everything is okay, Mr. Ashburry-Hawthorne," she reassured him, still staring at . "Miss Spinnet just ... well, what happened, Miss Spinnet? ... And what in Merlin's beard happened to you, Mr. Ashburry-Hawthorne?" Did it have anything to do with the fact that his wand was still producing water? The woman signed. How could he have forgotten such a simple charm? "Finite will help with your water issue, by the way."
"Is there anything I can help you two with?" As Zoryn ran back to the starting point, she heard Derf calling out and running in from the other direction. The second year didn’t exactly know why Derf was coming BUT she appreciated it nevertheless! And unless the whomping willow had been following her down the path, then really there was no immediate danger any more. But Zoryn still screamed. Most because she could.
She had made it to the Headmistress only a few strides before Derf had and took a good seven seconds of her life to huff ’n puff and slow her heart rate down just a tad. That was SO exhilarating !!!! And the next thing she knew, she was being asked LOADS of question. Ahuuum. Hi. “I was almost MURDERED!!” She nodded and looked at the Headmistress with BIG eyes. It was dramatic, yes. But Zoryn truly believed her own words. “I was just planting my seed and I was near the willow ‘cause I thought he could use a friend and I didn’t even get THAT close, but then it just SWUNG at me and I ALMOST DIED.”
G A S P.
That would’ve been SO AWFUL. Also, “So much mud,” she wiped a finger along Derf’s cheek, leaving a mudless streak across his face. What happened to him? “Thanks for saving me,” she whispered. It was the thought that counts. “Only if you can authorize restraining orders, Headmistress-Professor,” she was hopeful. ‘Cause Zoryn wanted one for that MURDEROUS TREE. Oh and "Also,
I lost my seed.". Maybe some snacks. Could they also have help with the homework? ‘Cause that was always hard. Zoryn actual had a list of things she could use help with. But she kept it short for the moment being.
