After he'd cut away as much of the fabric as he could, he assessed the stitches themselves to determine the best way to remove them. They were fairly loose and didn't appear too deep, but he still wasn't taking chances! "I don't believe the stitches are deep enough to cause serious injury, but just in case, I don't want to pull them out and cause more harm," he said. "I'm going to make the stitches vanish instead. It won't hurt you..." He delicately lifted the thread, taking care not to pull, as he held it as far from the boy's hand as possible, then carefully aimed his wand at the thread. Again, Derf was really only half paying attention to what the Charms professor was saying to him. The third year was taking FAR too much pride in the fact that his spell had TECHNICALLY done what it was supposed to have done AND on the first try. FINALLY all those years of speech therapy were paying off - not that Derf had ever really felt self conscious about his stutter and lisp before. Which of course meant that he flashed Emmeline an eager grin when he heard her - his attention had wavered at just the right moment to hear her.
And then his attention was back to the professor and his wand...and vanishing? Did he...HAVE to...because Derf wasn't sure he could do this again and now he was sorta getting bummed out about that and the PROOF being gone. Like...he could have gone walking around with the witch's hat sewn into his hand for all to see! Although...given the way Maddie was looking...perhaps that wasn't such a good idea after all. Simon likely would not have been able to stomach it. His dormmate could hardly handle lumpy or the future magizoologist's jars of dirt.
"Okay," he sighed with defeat as the Charms professor did his thing. Bye bye stitches. Siiiiiiiiiiiigh. Quote:

With a wave of his wand, the following words appeared on the blackboard: This spell is not another stitch
It helps you when you're in a pinch
Important when you learn to sew
But has more uses than you know
Use to cut ties with mistakes
Or simply when you need a break
Let's see if you can now discern
the name of the charm you're about to learn!
The professor stood to one side to give the students a better view of the board and said, "Now, who thinks they can guess the answer to the riddle?" He picked up the bowl containing his dwindling supply of pumpkin ink, hoping to entice the students. This time he would be handing it out for answers he felt deserved it, not just the ones he thought his guest would approve of! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it seemed like everyone was saying the same thing, and Derf was not in disagreement so he simply nodded his head...but then raised his hand anyway to add to the discussion as to WHY.
"I agree with everyone else with the Severing Charm," he nodded, waving his now stitch free hand about. "Delfina Crimp created the charm as an easy and convenient way of cutting cloth and thread. Since she was a dressmaker and stuff...like her dresses were MAGICAL and everything...but like...prior to her inventing this charm all the other ones that did cuts burned or shredded the target." Thank you very much, chocolate frog cards!
But then Charlotte mentioned a charm that his mum used all the time to prune their plants at home. Oh. Or that one.
