HOLY FLAMING SALAMANDERS!
Derf's eyes widened in delight and complete AWE when the professor revealed the creature of the day. Forget that that was the creature Derf had mentioned - his mind often wandering back to the lake and wondering how that particular Hippocampus was - but there was an entire HERD of them RIGHT THERE. So excited - honestly, he could secrete himself - he entirely missed the professor's question about listing what they knew about the creature. Though, well, Derf had given a few impromptu lessons here and there about them - including that day in the lake when the professor had swam off to help the merpeople - so he reckoned that Professor Wayland knew he knew his share of facts about the beast.
Instead, he was gazing longingly at the tank. Were there any Tadfoal in there?!
So when Professor Wayland invited them up, this Hufflepuff had NOT needed to be told twice and he practically leaped to his feet, grabbed his quill and parchment, and then scampered as quickly as he could without actually running up over and found himself a spot riiiiiiiiiiight in front. And, well, since he was getting to be pretty tall, he sat down with his legs dangling down so people could still see over him and he could keep his prime location.
