To say Penny's jaw dropped was the understatement of the century. Or like... the biggest understatement of the Universe. Whatever you wanted to classify it as, Penny Lane Goodman was SHOCKED. Beyond belief. This man was... UNBEARABLE!

The tears began to flow freely now as he told her to do PUSH UPS. The mere thought of it had triggered Hufflepuff's anxiety for sure. So as she opened her mouth to try and defend herself she found that all she could do was heave for breath, tears flowing uncontrollably. SHE HAD NEVER BEEN IN TROUBLE IN HER LIFE AND OMG SHE WAS ONLY DOING WHAT HER PREFECT HAD SAID! Despair! It was all too much!

But the young girl did try to give Derf a reassuring smile as he spoke up for her... but she felt the sinking feeling in her stomach that said it was going to do no good. Soooo... she slipped off of the log she was seated on and attempted to get her breathing under control and get in position for push ups. Because she dare not ask to be excused to go to the Healer or to her HoH... or anyone ever. She was genuinely unable to speak as she sobbed and basically just laid on the ground at this point.

Again, the ground could open up and swallow her whole at any time now. She was unsure what was more embarrassing: Being bullied by a Professor for being too literal, or the fact that she was crying and lying on the ground right now.
