The third year had yet again found himself a complete and utter mess in Ancient Runes. Then again it would probably be easier if one were to count on their fingers how many lessons and activities he did NOT find himself in some sort of predicament. At least he was not under a Full Body-Bind Curse at the edge of the Forbidden Forest this time?
Yeah. Looking at YOU Head Girl. And staying faaaaaaaaaaaaar away from her wand this time around too. Getting struck with one of those this lesson could be...
"WOAH!"
HOLY FLAMING SALAMANDERS THAT HAD BEEN CLOSE!
Derf just BARELY managed to avoid some butt!fire from one of the creatures with a well timed roll. Only problem was that he ALSO sorta lost his wand in the process and now had to go crawling back over to get it. To make matters worse...the Headmistress was yelling at him. Well, it WAS a warranted yell and even the Hufflepuff could admit to that. Too much time trying to invoke his rune and then Scarlett was talking about these magnificent creatures DYING and, well, there was a lot of stimuli going on, okay?
"S-S-Sorry!" he squeaked apologetically to the Headmistress as he booked it back over towards his breastplate that was still stuck in the ground. Bending at the knees, the third year tugged and tuuuuuuuuuugged until he pulled it free and then scampered over to one of the remaining suits to start the process of FINALLY getting himself in proper attire.
Which meant loads of CLANKING and DINGING noises as he tried to do so QUICKLY because he was super worried about the skrewts and how agitated they were all getting with all the water being thrown at them. But HEY! At least his rune was still glowing, right?
Small victories.
