When Derf started working again, Natalie observed, still glued to his side. "Yay!" she cheered when a light orb appeared...

"Oh." It was stuck on the end of his wand. "Err.. trying waving it off..?" That's what she would do. Perhaps not the safest route, but maybe it was just stuck? It just needed some ENCOURAGEMENT.

Well..at least the ball wasn't growing anymore so THAT was something. Ruffling his hair with one hand, Derf glanced at Natalie and nodded. "That might work," he agreed, giving his wand a bit of a flick to try and relieve his wand of the little ball of light.

Only it seemed like it really wanted to STAY attached to his wand.

Er...maybe if he waved it HARDER?

Straightening himself a bit, Derf waved his wand about a bit more enthusiastically...but STILL the ball didn't seem to want to come off. "Comeoooooooon," he whined. He was, what, about 85% done with the spell at this point and now that final 15% was just getting the light OFF his wand and into the fake sky.

But then the librarian called class, leaving Derf feeling particularly sheepish since, well, the ball was STILL stuck to the tip of his wand. "I can walk you back to your common room if you want?" he offered Natalie as he moved to gather his things. Since it was LATE and the castle was DARK and he had the light...and also...it was LATE and DARK and there were TERRIBLE things happening at Hogwarts so he was worried, you know?
