Derf was tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiired and it show in his eyes. It wasn't because of the time of day (night?) but because the Hufflepuff had been spending SO much of his free time researching magical theories and objects to support his own theories about what was going on in the castle. He had also come to the conclusion that he did NOT trust the librarian one bit based on some of his reactions and such in the Restricted Section, so the third year was going to pay PARTICULAR attention in class today for any signs of something fishy.
Which came the moment he stepped into the classroom and heard Jessa ask about doors to the universe. Universe...alternate reality...upside down Hogwarts...it was all the same thing, right?
"NO!" he exclaimed, staring point blank at his friend. Because the librarian DID have a THING for making PORTALS to other areas. Like "Narnia." Suddenly the blonde's face DROPPED and it all became clear. WHY HADN'T HE SEEN IT BEFORE?! Sure, he had heard all about the poltergeist theory with the portal and such...but THIS MAN...made magical doors himself. HOW WAS THAT NOT SUSPICIOUS!? NOW THERE WAS BLOOD MAGIC AND...
....could he just leave?
He felt so many knots forming in his stomach and he really just wanted to pretend like he had never been here to begin with?
Save for the outburst just now.
Er...
Ruffling his hair, Derf tried to find his seat without making eye contact with the librarian further outside of a quiet apology. He spotted Natalie and visibly crossed his fingers that his nameplate was next to hers...which OF COURSE it wasn't. "Maybe next class?" he shrugged hopefully. He did eventually find his seat and juuuuuuuust as he slid into it.....Flynn did the one directly next to him.

"Hi."
