Admittedly, it brought his mind immediately back to the excruciating silence that had fallen between them when, well, when Derf had had his confession dismissed. He hadn't felt his heart ache like that in a long while now - almost being torn apart by inferi made a lot of things seem less painful, at least for a time - but it was back now. The dull ache. But he tried his best to suppress it and remind himself that he was meant to be over all that by now. Choices had been made, you know? Nothing else to be done about that.
Though all this naturally meant that the sixth year was really only half paying attention to the rest of his classmate's responses - though he did catch Bel's and his lips twitched into a smile since she had been thinking about that moment. At least that was what he culled from her response. He was also only really half paying attention to when Mr. Baldvinsson began talking about rice. Which made his stomach give a bit of a rumble - he hadn't exactly had the fullest of breakfasts that morning while he scrambled to finish an Herbology essay over his morning toast with jam.
He really only tuned back in when the groundskeeper was demonstrating things on Professor Noble - which was a little amusing to behold but also valuable visuals so he was trying his best to focus on that.
Glancing around as people began to pair off, Derf twirled his wand between his fingers and glanced around from his spot directly in front of Professor Noble. "Anyone wanna play healer with me?" he asked innocently while rocking back on his heels in anticipation.
