The common rooms also came to mind but then like..er...well...he could only get into the Hufflepuff one and he wasn't sure Professor Healer Man wanted them breaking rules for the sake of lessons (not that he would be opposed or anything) but then the fireplace in the library came to mind.

Kinda ironic given mum had told him about this HUGE fire that had happened while she was at Hogwarts and now here they were collecting fire seeds.

It seemed that they were in the right place too since there were LOADS of others around, which only elicited an eager little bum wiggle from the third year like an excited cruppy. "They're here they're here!" he chirped excitedly to Charlotte while tugging on her robes and beeline-ing it towards the fireplace. Protective gloves in place and all that - Charlotte with their bucket - Derf didn't give things even a fleeting thought before he THRUST both arms into the fireplace to retrieve a fire seed. Twist and gently pull later, and Derf had spun around to face the older Gryffindor with bright eyes...until he remembered something.

"I...er...can you do the warming charm on the bucket?" he murmured, wishing he could ruffle his hair but unable to due to the fire seed cupped in his hands. "I melted the bucket last time I tried...and then Da--- Professor Myers made me decorate it..."

NOT GONNA LIE, CHAR JUMPED WHEN DERF THRUST HIS HANDS IN THE FLAMES. Sure there were gloves on, they both had them on, but still, she didn't want him to get hurt and what IF his gloves were faulty, hmm? What if? She had her wand out in an instant just in case, but it all seemed well. AND she needed her wand anyway. "I sure can!"

Char rotated her wand inside the bucket, concentrating on the chaudensis spell without overly moving her hand, just rotating at the wrist, tracing a circle with the tip of her wand. NOT TOO enthused either, because she didn't want to explode or melt any buckets. And..... there. Done. Non-verbally too.

"Ready!" Teamwork here, Derf was in charge of putting those seeds in the bucket. She was just the bucket GUARDIAN.

"Should we get a few extra just in case?" And enough for both of them too, obviously.
