| people! astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf OH IT WAS HENRY!
Grinning as the sixth year approached, Derf fished Scamander from his pocket and set the warty newt on his vacant plate. "Definately! I can't wait to take Picketta home!" he chirped eagerly. And by now if there was a housemate who did not know the saga that was Derf becoming a Home Tree to the female bowtruckle, well, perhaps they had been living under a rock somewhere all term. "What about you? OH OH! I'm totally going to make s-sure and see some of the U-17 matches this s-summer!" The last ones for him and Daisy and Zinnia and Noah. He totally had t-shirts ready for this too. Totally.
Picking up one of the signed photographs - which the second year did not particularly mind - and quickly pocketed one of them. He would have to give the Head Boy his chocolate frog card some how. Maybe on the trainride back to London. Because, well, he WOULD have gone to do it now but like....you know...ETTA WAS HERE!
"H-H-Hii Etta!" he squeaked. Like...literally squeaked. Voice cracking and everything to do with that embarrassing time of being a teenager. He had a speech all prepared to recite to her, you know? About how much she had dealt with between this term and last and like...it was all kinda amazing! He also sorta had questions he had never asked her after the first task about what it was like facing a dementor...but then she was greeted by one of the Ilvermorny champions - Irene and while the Hufflepuff was still all embarassing heart eyes at them he was also not about to interrupt. He was gonna see Etta on the train and stuff.
Irene and her, well, they only had tonight, right?
He kinda sorta recognized another Ilvermorny champion that arrived at their table, but only because he remembered that he was a housemate too ----
"HOLYFLAMINGSALAMANDERS," he stage whispered as he shook Kane's arm because DUDE. Dude? DUUUUDE! Valerie Gray was at THEIR table. AND SHE HAD TOTALLY JUST LOOKED AT HIM SLDJKFSKLFSDJFLSLKFSJ. Whatever the older Hufflepuff had said to him went in one ear and out the other entirely. The American Veela's presence overwhelming his mere mortal senses. "Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...." he said in a dreamy daze as he unabashedly stared at the pale beauty.
He was still under her spell when Benji plopped down next to him and the American's loud greeting of DUUUUUUUUUUDE also going in one ear and out the other. If it hadn't been for Scamander choosing that moment to crawl on to his hand...he likely would have remained in his little school boy fantasy. "HUH?" he asked, sitting up straight all of a sudden and, er, kinda wiping some drool from the corner of his mouth. "BENJI! I have something for you! Well...a couple s-somethings!"Which really probably sounded more impressive than it really was but he was only a second year and small gestures meant the world to Derf. "Here," he said after fishing a chocolate frog and a piece of parchment from his pocket. "For your journey home AND my home address so you can write me!" Suddenly Derf was even MORE jealous of Natalie getting to go to America this summer and seeing that giant talking mouse that wore red pants.
No sooner had he handed off the presents to Benji had ANOTHER IMPS champion joined their table. Derf, of course, recognized him immediately as the bloke who had been dancing with Valerie Gray on the boat when the second year had made his proclamation of love. Derf could feel his ears redden and his shoulders hunched slightly because yeaaaaaaaaah...this felt kinda awkward all of a sudden. But now he was kinda sorta staring at Jesus and then at Valerie and then back...and just lots of rabid back and forth looking between the two.
Which sorta meant he only half heard what Benji was asking about food.
"Headmistress has-s to give the speech firs-st," he nodded while stiiiiiiiiiiill looking back and forth between the two sixth years. "But I've got more chocolate frogs if you want?" He reached into his pocket again for another. "You got something in your eye? I can try and flus-sh it out for you! I'm loads-s better at Aguamenti now!"
