With what felt like the rest of his life hanging in the balance, Derf was always glad when Care of Magical Creatures lessons rolled around. It was his constant and one of the few things that seemed to be strong enough glue holding him together* Being a teenager...was really hard. REALLY hard. And despite his pinky promise with Stephanie that they would navigate and get through it together...Derf was starting to wonder if that were true. Which was terribly dramatic considering what perils he had survived at Hogwarts since his first year - the most recent being that grindylow bite and the dagger eyes of the Headmistress - but being fifteen may very well be the death of him.
Good thing sixteen was right around the corner? Ish?
"Hiya, Professor Wayland," Derf greeted with his usual cheer as he quickly gave the area a look over and went to plop his bum down on one of the hay bales...until he saw Ash that was. "Good day to you too, Ash!" he greeted the phoenix...with a bit more gusto than he had the professor. Sorry, sir. Bit of a bias here. Once you were able to produce healing tears, fly, carry insanely large loads, and be reborn from fire...then, well, you know.
Surely Ash was a hint as to what today's lesson would be about, yes? YES?!
