This was a trend today it seemed, younger students pretending to be something they were not. The first year in the prefect compartment and now Chloe. Which, well, he couldn't really fault them for it since he had done it himself and it wasn't REALLY like any harm was being done and on any other day the sixth year would be more than willing to let it all slide. And, well, honestly sitting with other houses had never seemed like something that should be discouraged anyway.
"Chloe," he voice pleased with her. What hurt about this was her lying to him. She would have been better off telling him why she wanted to sit here instead of her own house table. He was an understanding kind of fellow, you know? Though in the moment he was more concerned with keeping her out of trouble. You know, blue robes REALLY stood out against yellow in the Great Hall.
Thinking and reacting in the moment, Derf removed his wand from his pocket and subtly pointed it at her so it wouldn't be visible from the dais. "Chloe...please don't lie to me...or insult my memory and ability to know my own housemates," he said simply, giving his wand a bit of a flourish to cast a color changing charm (he had become proficient in that one during his whole badge ordeal back in his fourth year) and turn the blue of her robes yellow to match the rest of the table. The Ravenclaw crest looked...quite laughable in yellow, honestly, but at least now from the dais it wouldn't be obvious she was out of her seat. "Okay?" he added with a soft smile, pocketing his wand immediately after.
He would...figure out how to stealthily sneak her back over to Ravenclaw once they were dismissed from the Great Hall and all that. Hopefully.
......and now he was wondering where Penny was. What if SHE got caught out of seat and elsewhere and...sweet Scamander what a night.
.........and then Maddie happened.
Taking the briefest of moments to rub his face, Derf took off after Maddie and grabbed her in a hug. "Hey...hey...Maddie...it will be okay," he said, trying to soothe her as he stroked her hair and doing his BEST to keep his opinions on things to himself. Though seeing his friend so upset made that hard. "Look...she left quietly and without any fuss...she wouldn't want you to act out and get in trouble your first night here. Let's go sit down, yeah? I think I saw pudding."
Aye, yai, yai, yai, yai....
