ICE CREAM!

That brought him back. Well, he and Jessa kinds of back....and it was in that moment that Derf felt a bit of an uncomfortable tug in his chest because it hit home just HOW much he and Jessa had sorta drifted recently. Some of it had to do with the shock of what he had seen on the train ride TO Hogwarts, knowing his best friend had had a bit of an awakening of sorts automatically put them on different levels since, well...it just did. But that was also just a sign that things were evolving, you know? It wasn't good or bad...it just was. Which made him even more grateful for this little trip out of the castle. Made a more even playing field for them to reconnect, you know? And getting ice cream had always been their thing!

"Oh! I bet we could! Reckon she might like some doll clothes. You know. To dress up in," he nodded eagerly. He also figured it was best that Jessa be their navigator since, well, when they had been on vacation together he had held the map upside down and gotten them both pretty lost...but that HAD helped them find some creatures they wouldn't have come across otherwise so that was something worth noting. "You mean Balvenie Castle?" he asked, ruffling his hair a bit.

He HAD done a bit of reading before coming. Liked knowing things about where he was about to be, for reasons.

Which was why he was glancing around and happened to find his bright blues fallen on Diandra - she was looking very polished like a shinny galleon, as always. He reckoned if she were an actual galleon, then a niffler would pick her first she was always so polished. Which meant, NATURALLY, he was beckoning her over to their small group now. "Come join us!" he chirped. You know, just in case she hadn't noticed him or something.

He noticed a few other classmates wandering the streets as well, but his attention was drawn to the two Hogwarts staff who had arrived. And he wasn't TOO sure how to FEEL about THIIIIIIIIINGS. Would Mr. Librarian man even notice if one of them went missing? BECAUSE THERE WAS STILL A ROGUE BOOK SOMEWHERE THAT HAD GONE ON UNNOTICED. Okay, no, he was NOT doing this right now. Ice cream and sightseeing. Focus, Derfael. F O C U S. So, instead, Derf offered both Professor Vance and Mr. Kennedy eager waves. MAYBE...to make sure they saw that he was here and, you know, wouldn't forget to make sure he still was here when they all had to go back to the castle? If the WORST should happen and, you know, someone who broke out of Azkaban and transformed into an animagus came and pawnapped him or something.

Just casual newly-fifteen-year-old thoughts over here.

And then Beau happened, as he tended to do, and the Hufflepuff saw no issues with him joining them for ice cream as well. "The more the merrier!" he nodded, though he had no answer when it came to the loo because, well, he didn't have the map. Jessa had that. Which was why he was looking towards his Ravenclaw friend for that answer when Zita offered some words......and then Matt, who had Derf wrinkling his nose because no, they were not crups. Though just before he could, you know, try to sound mature and tell the older Gryffindor that that was rude and he ought to be litter box trained by now....an elderly muggle appeared and was looking QUITE disgruntled about the older boy's comment.

"S-Sorry, sir! He was only jokin'! We're not an unsanitary bunch! Can keep our secretions to ourselves and stuff...." Derf offered in lieu of a hurried apology to the man. But hey, at least for sure now the mystery of where the loo had been solved?

Er....

A couple of more hair ruffles later, Derf heard Dorian asking for someone to hang with and he also spotted Maxton mulling over his map. "Dorian! You're welcome to join us...or I reckon Maxton wouldn't mind some company and stuff." Unsolicited offers and advice, Derf was full of them.

Aaaaaaaaand of course Derf caught a glance at Katherine Toussaint...and his lips couldn't help but tingle uncomfortably and, well, first kisses when you were polyjuiced as someone else were kinda impossible to forget, you know? Still, he cut her a small awkward wave before returning his eyes to his own small group.
