His face was, mostly just the bits around his lips, sticky from the marshmallow he had consumed but the fifth year hardly minded and honestly forgot aaaaaaall about that when Bel moved tryouts along TO A PROPER SCRIMMAGE! Derf was now super keen to get his hands on his own bat - no offense school bat he had used for the sake of the obstacle coarse - and was darting over to his bag while still on his broom. Which meant he had to lay down on it and hang on while he rummaged through said bag with one hand, but thankfully there was no extension charm on it nor was there all THAT much in it to begin with.
Glorious GLORIOUS bat in hand, the blonde pulled up on his broom and leaned forward to gain some altitude and get right into the thick of things. Though it seemed his little side quest of grabbing his own bat had caused him to miss SOME things, but there was still plenty of time to get in on the action.
And gosh, Charlie and Maddie were making an excellent team out there, weren't they? It was awesome to see. And of course Hattie had a sort of grace in the air. And Derf was always keen on watching Daisy's enthusiasm. He just had a REALLY good feeling about this term, you know? YOU KNOW!?
Oh wow Hattie was showing some NEAT skills on her broom! He was almost too distracted admiring that to see the bludger whizzing by...when he was struck with an idea moments before his fellow prefect took her shot. Distraction...hmmmmmmm.
Taking off towards it, Derf wound up and struck the bludger with a bit of a spin to give it a wicked curve and sent it sailing off towards Charlie who was guarding the hoops now. Well...more like he was hoping to use it to force the younger Puff to have to alter his flight path so he would be even less likely to stop Hattie's shot.
He felt BAD making such an aggressive move...but deflecting bludgers into empty space instead of making use of them hadn't earned Hufflepuff much last term so...time for a new strategy.
