But the ruffling was short live as the librarian drew aaaaaaaaaall the attention EVER to himself. And Natalie. And the situation that wasn't really a situation. And then was trying to get her to respond to the question in that TONE that caused a little more unintentional spiraling to happen and the third year to tense up a little. He was about to warn Natalie just to say SOMETHING because the man could be a real banshee when provoked (the Room of Requirement had proven that) but words were slipping out of Natalie's mouth before he could stop her. And his eyes went a bit wide and then he was leaning over to whisper something just for her ears. "If he tries to put you in a Full Body-Bind Curse...I'll jump in front of you and take the hit." Seemed kinda mean that the librarian was poking at Natalie to answer when not EVERYONE else had too...and Derf had spoken for their group already and that seemed to be the trend so...

Derf was 10000000% prepared to leap in front of Natalie at the first sign of trouble.

But they were moving on to the activity now - after he shook his head at the mention of the hospital wing because nope...not keen on going there. At all.

Textbook open, Derf flipped to the index to find the information again for a more portable setting and, well, visuals. Though he was going to need to be incredibly dependent on Natalie for this part. "Did...you know that....this space telescope thingy that gives us these pictures...it can ONLY take pictures in black and white?" he asked timidly as he scanned over the page before getting out of his seat and slowly leading her over to station number 3.

In the past, Natalie had been fairly certain that a professor would never try to hurt any of their students, but with all the scary things going on and with Derf putting some conspiracy theories in her head lately, NOW she didn't KNOW. But still, the librarian didn't seem THAT mean that he would put her in a body bind because she didn't want to answer a question. Even so, Derf's concern for her and his willingness to save her from it... was cute. And worrying.

Natalie eyed the professor for another moment, glad when he didn't wave her wand at her or make her answer any questions. Then she turned her attention back to Derf when they moved onto the activity. It was harder for her to try and focus now, after all THAT. Derf's little tidbit of information helped. Telescopes only took pictures in black and white? "Really?" she responded, her nose wrinkled. "That's lame."

She followed Derf to station three and looked at the image of their nebula. "Oooh, that's cool." Then she looked at their textbook to try and figure out what it was. It wasn't dark... It wasn't red... It was glowy, though. "Is it a reflection nebula? 'Cause it's all bright and stuff." Sure didn't look like a horsehead, though, so that easy one was out.
