A few months....Derf would honestly be lucky if he got his to last a few MINUTES. But hey, they both started with 'm' at least so that was PROGRESS? Rubbing his foot over the spot where his light had fizzled out on the floor, Derf ruffled his hair and tried to mentally ~~and emotionally~~ prepare himself for another go at the spell when he gave a bit of a jolt at someone linking arms with him.

FLYNN?!

Natalie followed everyone into the dark room where they would be putting together the constellation. And since they no longer had assigned seats, Natalie slid up beside Derf and looped her arm through his, having just witnessed his little star fall to the ground and fizzle out. "Let's work together," she said cheerfully, offering him an optimistic smile.

"Stellaris," she said again, but halfway through her star shape, her wand just shot out sparks for a couple seconds and then that was it.

To his RELIEF...it was not the older Slytherin - because THAT would have meant something really bad was about to happen and Derf was having enough of a hard time focusing without that additional distraction - but Natalie. His bright blues lit up a bit and grinned. "Okay!"

But now there was a DIFFERENT sort of distraction and the Hufflepuff really wasn't quite sure how to deal with it. Although he did learn one thing for sure...he had been sorta saying the incantation wrong.

"At least it shot out sparks!" he chirped with his own shade of optimism. "You know...instead of something off topic." Sparks were still light and stuff, you know? Clearing his throat, Derf gave tracing the star in the air another go. "Stellaris!" A little ball of light appeared again, this time without the after effects of a sparkler, but it didn't really fly OFF his wand and just sorta...stuck to the tip. Like a glowing lollipop.

"..............um."
