astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf The Hufflepuff did not even register that the Transfiguration professor had joined them for in the next moment the inferi were moving...SURROUNDING them. His feet moving on their own accord, Derf flung himself towards his friends just as Abey started firing off Incendio and just barely managed to avoid the swing of his bat too.
Sorry professor...they weren't going to wait to cast Incendio. Not that Derf had even heard the instruction to begin with. "INCENDIO!" he commanded, shooting off a jet of flame to the approaching corpses in front of him as he spun so his back was half pressed to Abey's and quickly glanced around to make sure Bel was close by in a loose back-to-back formation so they could defend one another. "JULIE!" Derf shouted, seeing the creatures encroaching around her and reaching his hand out for her to yank her closer to the group.
His veins were bulging in his arms and neck as tension filled his body. Breathing rapid and shallow which caused him to feel a bit lightheaded. Teeth grit like a rabid dog (throwback to you, Mr. Charms professor!) with trembling hands as he gripped his wand tightly and sent off another Incendio towards more approaching bodies. His heart, the way it thumped in his chest like a wild stallion, thankfully drowned out the heinous noises - the creaking limbs, the screeches, the breaking of bones - as everything around him seemed to be moving in fast forward yet at a standstill at the same time.
