Not removing her eyes from the glass, she continued to pick up the pieces while whispering to Derf. “You really think you can fix it? I don’t know that charm yet, and even if I did, it would probably make it worse.” Her face was still warm with embarrassment as she spoke. She had been having a rough few days trying to learn new spells and the thought of failing at something else was weighing on her.
It was just then that she noticed something about her fingernails that she had never paid attention to before. All of her nails were a nice almond shape. Small moons of white at the bottom of each nail, and only one had a blackish colored mark. The blackish mark she knew was from quidditch tryouts when she smashed her finger between the broom and a bludger. She wasn’t sure if that meant anything, but she would be sure to note it on her parchment when she was finished with the mirror incident. You? Er....
"Yeah, sure," he said with a false confidence. He WAS much better at the Mending Charm now - loads of practice fixing his jars of dirt in the dormroom so Simon Mord didn't have a heart and asthma attack seeing the mess (Lumpy was more than enough) - but he tended to perform better without an audience. "Just gotta get all the pieces," he repeated with a nod, picking up and placing a few more pieces on the towel.
He really wasn't considering his own fingernails all THAT much, though he imagined that any manicurist person would take one look at them and feel like a dementor had kissed them they were so unkempt. Chipped and even wiggly in places - he probably should give them a trim to even them up one of these days - and there were a few hangnails here and there. Also plenty of those little white dots freckling them.
But for now, it was collecting bits of broken mirror. "I think we've got them all," he said after another moment, glancing around the immediate area once more. Clearing his throat, Derf pulled out his wand and tried to steady his hand before giving it a wave over the pieces of mirror. "Reparo," he commanded, confidence nooooot exactly oozing in his tone or anything...but enough to get the charm to return the mirror to its original state. Save for a crack near the top....but otherwise a perfectly acceptable and usable people. "There," he grinned, handing it back to Emmelyn.
