Obliviously accustomed to this kind of look, it did not register with Derf why the younger Ravenclaw had freaked out and FALLEN. But his instincts kicked in and he was hurrying oover to her side to help her up...when she screamed.
"It's all right it's all right!" he chirped, trying to be reassuring as he moved his hands to wipe down on his face so it was less mud and more Derf as the second girl arrived. "I'm Derf. Hufflepuff. Fifth year." And, like always, he never mentioned being a prefect as part of his identification.
"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you...." And now he was fishing into his pockets looking for his wand, which was a bit of a task in and of itself considering the extension charms in place. Though he did wipe his robes a bit and flick some dirt and leaves off so they could see Hufflepuff crest more easily. Ans a bit of a glimmer from his badge. "Lemme just...get my wand so I can clean up a bit better..."
So he was a boy, not a mud monster. Chloe started breathing easier again and trying to act braver than she really showed earlier.
"Oh man I'm glad you said something I was about to hit you with a spell." SHe knew hardly any spells so maybe she would have sprayed him with water, but not much else.
"Sorry for yelling, but you were really dirty. Do you like being that dirty?" What could he possibly do that was that muddy and could she possibly do it too?
Oh man, OH MAN, OH GOSH!!
She saw the badge now that he was cleaning up and now she was actually afraid she might get in trouble, screaming from a prefect how did she not know.
"You are a prefect? Gosh Xar he's a prefect." Why was her friend so quiet now, she needed some backup!
"I'm Chloe and I was just well looking at flowers and stuff." She wouldn't admit she was lost, but she wasn't going to let him just leave without showing her the way either.
